An inspector visiting a country school was much worried by the noise of the scholars in the next room. At last, unable to stand it any longer, he opened the door and burst upon the class. Seeing one boy taller than the others talking a great deal, he caught him by the collar, carried him to his own room and planted him in the chair, saying, “Now, sit there and be quiet !’’ Ten minutes later a small head appeared round the door and a meek voice said, “Please sir, you’ve got our teacher.”

The engineer of the Horowheuua County Council, reporting re the state of the road at the bend after crossing the bridge at Moutoa, on the Shannon side, says:—“lam reminded again in the local paper about the Foxton road at the bend near the river. There is no doubt that it is bad, but as the contractor for the supply of metal for the Manawatu County, has, I understand, to do certain repairs to the road, I am waiting to see how much he will do, and if it is not sufficient I will get it done immediately, but I can assure anyone who gets stuck that they cannot get down deep, as I have had two coats of metal laid in my time. Every heavy fresh leaves a fresh deposit of silt.”
