Teaching Patriotism.— ln the United States p atriotism is taught in the schools. The children have to say every day in their live?; —I give xny head, my heart, my hand, to my country—one country, one language, one flagl” Lord Meath, who travelled through New Zealand and America a short time since, has suggested to the London School Board that some exercises might be introduced into the schools with the view of inspiring respect and veneration for the British flag, and has offered at his own expense, to supply the schools under their charge with flags. At a Jewish school at Newington, London, the children step forward in files each morning and salute the Union Jack. Mr Isitt’s Little Jokes.— Mr F. W. Isitt, speaking at the Direct Veto meeting at Geraldine on Friday evening, cracked a number of very humorous jokes at the expense qf the opponents of the , veto, in general, and was w»* v the members of tb' > tt p said a email *•- - Fourth neotflp ■*-’ -oy was once asked where * P uiiat told lies went to, and the youngster innocently replied “ Oh ! they go to New York to write for the newspapers.” This is very good. Mr Isitt, but the cap does not fit us ; we always speak the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth. But the fact is, newspaper men. like everybody else, sometimes lose count of their reckoning, and sin in ignorance. A case in point is that of the Oamarn Mail, which, the other day published a par with the words “ Lads and asses,” in place of “ Lads and Lasses.” N.Z.L. & M.A. Company.— At the sitting in Chambers of the Supreme Court, at Auckland on Friday, Mr Theo. Cooper moved for an order to wind up the Loan and Mercantile Agency Company, Limited. Mr C. E. Button appeared on behalf of the Company. He said Mr Battley, the general manager, had received information that a winding up order had been made atHome, where the company was domiciled, it being really an English Company. An flflcial liquidator bad been appointed in London, and the information to hand was that everything was proceeding satisfactorily. All that was wanted was delay in the order. Matters might be completed so that the assets of the company might be protected for the benefit of all parties. Under these circumstance he would ask that the motion should be allowed to stand aver for a month, the same as had apparently been done in His Honour said it seemed to him that it would be inconvenient if liquidators were appointed for the same Company in England Mr Button said there were comparatively few creditors of the Company in Australia, and New Zealand, but there were the shareholders. He expected that by and by he should have to apply to His Honour to appoint Messr Battley and Dodds liquidators in order that action could be taken. At present he would simply ask to Let the present motion stand over for a month. His Honour said the motion was a similar one to that already made in England to show cause why the company should not be wound up. Mr : Cooper said he had no objection to the adjournment asked for as it was not the wish of the petitioning creditor to harass the company. His Honour ordered the application to stand over until the Chamber sitting on 26tb September.—Cable advice has been received in Auckland from London stating that the reconstruction scheme of the Loan and Mercantile Agency Company will be made public in a few days.
