JUNIOR SCHOLARSHIPS.
The Taranaki Education Board has, thi'ough an over-zealous official, created a newspaper discussion which is calculated to amuse, if it does not edify the reading public. Taranaki claimed that, with all its child slavery, it was able to produce a larger number of junior scholarship winners than any other district in the Dominion. It was immediately challenged by Nelson, which, with its fruit diet, insisted that it beat- creation. And now little Marlborough-, where they run express trains at the rate of five miles an hour, disputes' the claim ,of Nelson. After all, it depends entirely upon the point of view. The argument reminds one of the farmer who beat all records in tlie way of percentage of lambs. He had no less than 300 per cent! Everybody wondered. But when he confided to a friend that his flock comprised one oolitafy ewe, and that she had produced, triplets, the proof was positive.
