EDUCATION OF GIRLS.
Referring to matters connected with girls' scholarships, Miss Whitlaw, headmistress of the Auckland Grammar School, remarks in her annua! report:—"Those girls who mean to cumpete with men in the same professional work must, I suppose, take the same examinations, but for others, I cannot see why we should not differentiate much more in the subjects- chosen. There was a need in the sixties or seventies of last century to show what women could do, but that has 'been demonstrated so often and so forcibly that it needs no proof in these days, and there seems little reason why 'women required to fill such a very different function from men in the universe should slavishly follow and adhere to all that may be necessary in the edu • cation of the latter."
