The unusual view that children attending the primary schools devote too much time to sport, to the detriment of their studies, was put forward hy a speaker at the nicotine; of householders of the Terrace School, Wellington. “ Far too much time,” he declared, :i is wasted on sport. It appears to me to lie a dominant factor in school 'ife. if the pupils gave more attention to their studies and the essential things in life they would get along a lot better than they do. I think more time should he spent on work inside the school and less outside. ’lhe children will get their sport without icing led to it.” The speaker appeared to have no sympathisers with his views.

Aii unenviable experience was tlie lot of ;i party of door stalkers recently on .Mount Brown in tin* Tvokatahi District. Tli,. party luid no difficulty in milking flic ascent of tlic mountain, lint it wns on tin* return journey that difficulty was experienced. It was stated that the climbers left, on their homeward journey about 4..‘10 p.m. but did not arrive hack until 9.30 p.m., owing to having been lost in the dense bush on the slopes of the mountain. We can well imagine the feelings that possessed them when they found themselves, in such a predicament, and had it not been 'for their guide, a well known resident of Kokatahi, the results may have been disastrous.
