KIRITEHERE-MOEATOA.

Own Correspondent

Word haß been received from the department re the Mairoa-Marokopa telephone line. A bond for execution by the six settlers who signed the former bend, a form of bond in connection with the guarantee of a subsidy of £3O a year for five years to the telephone line between Mairoa and Mangaohae and between Marokopa and Moeatca. The Postmaster-General and Minister of Telegraphs (referred toas the "said Minister), has agreed with the said obligors to erect a line of telephone between Mairoa and Mangaohae and Ratanui and between Moeatoa via Kiritehere. The said obligors to pay £3O annually for a period of five years, commencing from the first day of March, 1912, towards the cost of erection, working and maintaining of such line of thelephone. Tne original bond was for £9O.

There's a fair collection of scholastic talent in the learning line out here. The yuungsters are given two or three years in a grammar school and when educated are "drawn off'' and pumped into the country to exert their talent on "the sons of the soil," who some times take a little breaking in, and generally annoy the "budding dominie," by describing him as the. "old schoolmaster" in an annoyingly familiar way.

The periodical school committee meetings are often the objects of many reminiscent yarns, which light up a monotonous evening like tiny distant candle points seen in the dark. Most country schoolmasters are "dabs" in botany, and generally possess a collection of plants in a growing or dried state, and will talk learnedly of plants till one wonders how they can hold no much learning without becoming top heavy.
