A London correspondent writes that there are many students of the New Zealand University who will be interested to hear that Atiss Emily K. Broome. M.A, formerly of Wellington, and now of the County School, Enfield, is’the only colonial graduate in charge ot an English public school for girls—evidence that New Zealand degrees are worth holding, even in England. This school is quite a big one, Accommodating JSO girls, eleven of whom at present avo post-matriculants reading for Inter-ArtH, etc. Her sister. Miss Elorente Broome, was long an art student at the Wellington Technical School She is well-known in London fts a professional illustrator, and as author' of a book on “Brush Work.” A very interesting pa rl of a historical lecture (given by Dr Fulton in Dunedin) on the Alaori wars dealt with the hatchments, or standards,' of famous British regiments that are to bo seen hung on the walls of St. Mary’s Church.'in New Plymouth. These banners record and symbolise in impressive fashion the history of the regiment to which they belong, and recall the immortal honours it won on historic fields ip bygone daysDr Pulton went cn to express keen regret that under modern conditions of warfareit is evidently impossible for our regiments to carry colours. It seemed to him deplorable that, from these cpio scenes from which cur boys have returned they did not bring back with them regimental standards, permanent visible historic records of a value not to .be estimated, around which would •be gathered all the glamour and glory of the battlefields, sacred relies that could be hung upon the walls of our colleges and cathedrals. Medals would bp struck and books written, but nothing would produce tl]o same solemn effect, the same thrill of pride and sadness as do the' colours of a regiment which has seen service. Dr Fulton recently wrote expressing these views to the Minister, for Defence, and the Minister, in his reply, conveyed the very gratifying information that King George had recently given thirteen standards to different New Zealand regiments. The death of a cenftnariau occurred last week at Mullet Point, nearKawau, when Mrs Domaris Brickwood. Williams passed away at the great ago of 101 years and 10 months.
