Wairarapa Daily Times [ESTABLISHED 1878]

MONDAY, MARCH 20, 1893.

Being tub extended title of the Wairarapa Daily, with whioh it is identical

The legal profession and tho public in this district wilj, we feel sure, very rnuoh regret to learn that Colonel Roberta, R,M„ has his marobing orders, and is receiving doubtful promotion by a removal to Tauranga, a town wbioh, on the whole, i'b a less importantjudicial centre than Masterton, During the four jears that Colonel Roberts has presided over our local courts, he has proved himself to be a conscientiouß and painstaking Magistrate, and in taking him away from us the Government have not studied our interests or even our wishes. We hope the Member for Masterton, when be meets his constituents, will give some satisfactory reason for tho change which is being made, for we do not suppose that the Government taKe a step of this kind without his approval. Even already it is said in the town that the Government are sending Colonel Roberts away in order to get a man of the right colour to preside at the coming General Election, From one point ot viow, the selection of Colonel Roberts' successor, Mr R. 3. Hawkins, is open to grave objection. Tho Government and the Member for Masterton know perfectly well that, a few years ago, Mr Hawkins contested an election in this district, that he mado some warm political friends and sorooMrong political enemies and that it will be very difficult for a party politician with suoh connections to take that position of impartiality which a Resident Magistrate ought to assume. Wo do not wish to imply that Mr Hawkins

will display a bias in his capacity as a Besident Magistrate. Wo would rather credit him will} an intention to honourably and faithfully carry out the duties ho will h&ve to discharge. The Government may have placed him in a false position, but he may by his character and conduct justify his appointment, Ho is tp fair play in a new sphere of labour, and we shall be glad to find that he proves a success, although handicapped by beginuing bia official career ill a wrong district, The publio and the profession will, no doubt, form their' opinion of Mr Hawkins as a Resident Magistrate, from. tho manner in which lie discharges the duties of his new appointment and not from any previonß prejudice for or against him, arising out of past political experiences, He follows able and successful magistrates in Messrs Wardell, Von Sturmer and Colonel Roberts and. we sincerely trust that he will in the future give the publio as .much satisfaction as

they have done in the past. We do not like the change which the Govern* pent is forcipg upon us, nor (jo we believe the puolio'will woloome it, at the same time we desire to bo just tQwift Mr iMipiwl Mips ft

hope now, as we nndorstand he is appointed; to this district,' he, will prove an excellent 1 magistrate and obtain and retain the respect of all parties and (tees in tho community,

Mjt Hogg, M.U.R., hus beea delivering g political address at Eketahuna 1 What has Masterton done that he should pass over it and reserve his eloquenoefor the bush district, It is possible that our member does not cure about meeting his constituents at this juncture in the principal opDlra'of the electorate, Both be and bis antagonist, Mir McCardle, are supposed to be playing a game at " puss" with the Temperance Party and it is possibly more convenient for the Member for Maaterton to meet his friends in up-country places where no awkward questions are likely to be asked and where things may be said ihnt could not safely be uttored on a more pretentious platform,

The following, is extracted from the last report to the Wellington Education Board sent in by Inspectors Lee, and Fleming—Oases of manifest incompetency in the teaching or management become fewer year by year, Much ot the success of the system depends on a good | selection of teachers being made in tho firatinstftnco, and it is very satisfactory to note that a moro careful selection is now being made Many of our pupil teachers candidates are now matriculated studnnts, Most of them are girls; but we do not deplore the employment of well-qualified girls of good influence in teaching the young. But, on the other hand, it is always very unsatisfactory'to find any teacher in charge of a school who, for any cause whatever, is a bad model for children to imitate; it is simply a burlesque on education. No teacher is fit for his post who is not in

true sympathy with children's thoughts and actions, who lias not a fine sense of what is right or propor for them to say or do, or who fails to win their sympathies and respect. That this is se, no one will doubt; and yet we find that nearly all the trouble <vhich arises in the management of school iB attributable to this cause—that the teacher does not possess the true instinct of a teacher, Yeatordayhad itß humours, says Saturday's Standard. A whitewaistcoated gentleman who had apparently been drinking Bt. Patrick's health too freely was offering to fighthia friends all round, when one of them—perhaps Fireman Braggins will not blush if we tell our readers that it was he—used a moral suasion upon him which consisted in

gripping him gently but firmly from be* hind and running him off tho ground. The struggles of the would-be warrior ia the iron but invisible embrace of the stalwart fireman were highly amusing, and the process waß so quickly and quietly performed that it was " all over but shouting " before the recipient of this attention knew whether he had been wiped out by a cyolone or not, At the last company meeting of the Bank of New Zealand Dr Dryidale, a typical Englishman, summarised his impressions of New Zealand in tho following terras; I beg to propose a vote of thanks to the Chairman for such a

report as we hare had. There is great advantage in knowing that the colosy ol New Zealand is doing well, New Zealand has none of the droughts ol Australia. It is tho healthiest countrv

in the world, and has the lowest death rate with which I am acquainted, being only one half that of our own illustrious bland, so that the people who go there are in no dancer of having malaria or anything of the kind. They have plenty to eat, because they haye about 19,000,000 sheep as far as I know, and a very large number of oattle and pigs. Thoy have plenty to eat, and tho olimateis extremly wholesome, and I have no doubt that if this bank continues to be well managed, aB I am Bure it iB now, there is no necessity why there should be any danger in the future."
