Instead of following the usual custom and spending considerable sums of money on social functions CouncilMayor of Ballarat (Victoria) is defraying the cost of a series of popular scientific and educational lectures, which are being larg?ly attended by all classes of the citizens. The Government has listened to the prayer of those who have argued that defective children, not imbecile but lacking the average strength of intellect, should have an opportunity to equip themselves for the battle of life. The house and grounds of the Otekaike Estate (Otago) are to be bought for about £7,000, and there boys whose faculties would prevent them from making headway in the ordinary primary schools will be enabled to have their handa. and brains trained rationally. Thus they will not only acquire arts that will make them fit into the working scheme of things and so increase their enjovment of life, but will get practical knowledge which will save them from dependence on relatives or public charity. The Government is considering the question of founding a suitable school for defective girls. If yon are an importer, Fend vouv do3Utomhouse, Shipping, and Fnrwttrdir g Agents, Wellington.
