NEW ZEALAND GIRLS.

RISING TO THE OCCASION. ' Everybody, but particularly those parents with, boys and girls approaching maturity, and those who cannot go to the front, will be gratified to learn of the manner in which New Zealand girls have been rising fo the occasion and assisting the country by becoming efficient for commercial work. This is splendidly by the recent results of the the Accountancy Degree Examination, and those of the Diploma in Practical Mercantile Book-keeping granted by the Society of Accountants i under, examination conducted by the university of New Zealand. The Candidate to top the list, and so obtain the coveted First Honours place in all the Dominion at the last examination was a lady, Miss Agnes Thompson. In a recent examination, also for the final degree of the same body, a young lady, Miss I. L. Purvis, was second in all New Zealand, whilst another, lady, Miss M. Cunningham was second in Ordey of Merit in the Book-keepers Diploma Examination. These candidates were prepared by correspondence by Messrs Hommingway and Robertson of Auckland, the well-known teachers of Accountancy, Practical Book-keeping and Business subjects by mail. Other successes achieved by Messys and Robertson’s Candidates last year included the first place in all Australia (A. D. Locke), May Intermediate Victorian Institute of Accountants. First in Order of Merit in all Ausralia, Federal Institute of Accountants May Exams (W. E. Heath). First in Order of Merit in all Australia, Federal Insti- * tute of Accountants, Novcmbqr Exams. (J.
