MISCELLANEOUS.

A number oi young Eormon im.v sionaiies are systematically winking the dliferent portion:: of the Wanganui district each day, dtsiubmuig i their propaganda and trying lapei coital appeal to induce women ioik to accept the Mormon beiiel. Within 'die last lew days several men with de- ! cidedly -uong objection.- to tiier-e I young Mormons visiting tnen home;-I and coiiversiug while they are absent * have apparently succeeded in coming '• in contact with them, says an ex- 1 change, and so strong were the aigutneiits used that one young visiter Iran Utah was glad to escape, ami neither he nor his colleagues ti&ve been visiting that portion oi the district since. According to ali accounts they have been working very hard, hut have not secured many converts. , Young folk who might n-_- inclined j to use the teaching profession as tiie stepping-stone to some other walk m t life will find this intention severely < discouraged by a decision winch the j Auckland Education Board on Wetl--1 flosday determined to put into ciiect. - Every pupil-teacher or probationer is jto be required to mate a definite de- • Jciaration ol' intention to remain m the teaching profession. This couise - has been found necessary owing to j the number oi applications for exemp- * lion from pupil-teacher classes in order that university lectures might L-. attended. From the course of lectures submitted, said Mr Dunlop, the board's advisory inspector, it was evi-1 dent that some of these young people ! intended entering the legal profession f or the ministry as soon as their peri- * od of pro! ution was over, arid :h-- .- were simply making a convenience of their present positions until they ob- ! mined their degrees.
