SCHOLARSHIP GRANTS

AND THE TRUST LANDS TRUST.

I gome discussion took place at the meeting of the Masterton Trust Lands Trust last evening on the j qliestion of scholarship grants. An application was made by Colin Hendry for a grant of £lO as an exempt student of the University. Mr W. H. Jackson explained that the student had been two years at the University, and had received two grants of £lO. He was now in an office, and was endeavouring to complete his studies. Mr Jackson thought that the application was on the same footing -as that of the lads Ewart and Pryor, to whom grants had been made. Mir Daniell claimed tliat the conditions of the grants were not sufficiently definite. He considered their money should he devoted to assisting youths to reach the University, and not to helping them after they had left the University. He thought the application for a third-year grant on. behalf of the lad Hendry should not bo granted. He did not consider the case parallel with th.tt of the lads Pryor and Ewart, who were entering on their first year. Mr Jackson urged that the cases were identical. If they admitted they had. made a mistake in the two other cases they should say so, and that was an end of it. Mr Michell moved that the matter be held over for a full meeting of: the Trust. ! Mr Jackson seconded this resolution, which was put and carried.
