With regard to the threatened importation of margarine, into the oolony, the Minister for .Lands was asked at Uamaru the other day whether the Government would take any steps to prevent the wholesale importation of imitations of batter which would come into unfair oompetition with the genuine products. Mr Dunoan said he thought that provision would ba made to provide for a certified label on each tin givigg the constituents of the preparation. If this was found to work unsatisfactorily, a duty, absolutely prohibitive, might be imposed, lie hoped that the people of the oolony, where the real article was so excellent and so cheap, would not constitute a market for so doubtful an admixture as margarine. Of course, all imported foods were analysed and inspeoted most systematically and carefully.

T-he training oottage for teachers recently opened in Wellington, was formally opened by the Premier, yesterday. Mr Hall-Jones, in the course of his remarks, says a Wellington telegram, stated that last year the revenue from land endowments for primary education was less than £50,000, while from endowments for secondary education there was a revenue of only £31,743. It would be , necessary to do something to prevent the cessation of the good work in hand, and land could not be put to better use than by being made into educational endowments. The late Mr Seddon had intended submitting to the House proposals for setting aside a million acres for such purposes. They could perhaps go further than that. Instead of one million acres, two miliou acres could be set aside for the purposes of providing facilities for education. There was a revenue of £150,000 from Grown leases, and that revenue could not be put to better use than by being earmarked for education. The annual cost of the training colleges at the four centres would be at least £20,000, but against that, of course, had to bo plaued the cost of the education of the seventeen or eighteen thousand ohildren who would be attending the schools attached to the colleges.
