TE AWAMUTU.

Mr Fuller leports tlic tone and discipline of the .school at. excellent, a^id expressed himself as highly pleased. The gentleman who examined the cliildien m music was cctiemcly pleased with tlie le^ult. Indeed, he said the singing 1 was more spnited in thiH school than in any other school m tho distuct. Tins speaks \eiy highly for Mi Bell's capability as nistiuctoi. The lesiilt ef the staniiat d examinations i-> satisfaotoi y. About 70 and 71 per cent of boy.s and gul-., lespectively, have passed. Two of the pupils were, sent up foi scliolaislnp examination, Maiy J. Cailey and Rebecca Lewis ; both, however, failed, .solely because they did not get 50 per cent of the nuiu ber of marks in sewing. I ha\e been told that it a pupil gets 50 per cent of the uuikb in each .subject, he or she is entitled to a scholaiship. In this- instance the pupils averaged far inoic than the requhed 50 per cent, with the one exception of needier oik, and that is because they weie not proficient in what is called giaftmg. What this grafting is is move than I can find out ; no one seems to know which it is, and I have asked seveial. The uoild got on without it up to the present; ladiea ha\e liad their dres&es made w ithout it ; in fact it does not appear to be of any gieat nnpoitance or else inch beautiful toilets ih one sees evei y day could not be so pci fectly got up without it. It beenis haid that foi lack of piohciency in this new style that real meiit in other subjects of — in my humble opinion — nioie nnpoiJtance, should not be vewarded. The following aie the subjects with the maiks gained by eacli pupil. Mary J. Cailey, leading, 7'» ; writing, 08 ; English giannnar, .30; English composition, 53 ; Shakespeaie, 72 ; authmetic, 0.3 ; geography, ii'S ; history, CO ; Laws of Health, .38 ; Pohtic.l Economy, 31 ; nesdlewoik, 1!); total, (107. Rebecca Lewis, reading, 7<S ; wilting, 7.3 ; English gianimai, 72 ; English composition, .33 ; Shakespeaie, 0(3 ; arithmetic, 50 ; geography, (i{) : histoiy, ()0 ; Laws of Health, SO ; Political Economy, 51 ; needlewoik, 2.3 ; total, 081. The maximum number of marks in all subjects except the two last is 100, in the otheis 75. By this it wHI be .seen tlus Miss Carley, and Miss Lewi^. have gamed S2 and 150 inaiks lespectively abo\e the number lequiied to entitle them to bcholai>.hips. Of coiuse when the Education depaitment makes a rule it must adhere to it, but it see.ii-- to be of a cast iion natuie m thisin-.tance. It will have the effect, howe\er, of n,,ikiiig the pupils mastei e\ery subject thoioughly if they wj^i to pa^s.— (Own Coue>pondent.)
