TRUST SCHOLARSHIPS.
The Masterton Trust Lands Trustees have very properly declined a proposal that they should oastttihe responsibility for framing a policy for the administration of their scholarship fund upon outside individuals. The Trustees have been elected by the people to ro:ry out the terms of the Trust in an intelligent manner, and if they feel themselves incapable of performing this task, they should resign and give somebody else a chance of doing so. The scholarship problem is surely not so highly technical that it requires educational -experts' to elucidate it: There are gentlemen on the Trust who are quite capable of evolving a satisfactory scheme, if they are only afforded an opportunity of doing so. Possibly the wiser course has been adopted in returning, in the meantime, to the original method of distributing the fund. Tn years to come it may be found convenient to secure legislation to wipe out the scholarship provision entirely and leave the Trustees free to administer the revenues as a whole for the purposes of education and general utility.
