Ashton, Maungaturoto, Kaipara, Kith September, 1S8~». Sin, — I beg lcavo to acknowledge receipt of your letter of the 2nd September, in>t., respecting tho new hcholaiohip lugul.itions, and to acquaint you that tin* subject has attracted notice in this part of the Kaipara, and that stops are being taken to nuomblfl the chairmen of the several school committees in the dUtiict^ aiound at LVharoa in order to tako collective action therein. It i* thought that one effectixe method may bo to require a pledge from any e.mdidate for a «eat at tho Board of Hducition that he will usee\eiy exoition to have the regulations modified so as to give an equal chance 1,0 country as to town children in competition for scholarships f i om which these new regulation* practically bar the former. —I am, Sir, your obedient servant.

Scholarships Recu.vhoxs.— -The following resolutions passed at the la.it meeting of the New Zealand Educational Institute re scholarships regulations weie foiw.udcd to the board :— l. That a respectful address be forwa-ided to the Uo.ud of Education icquesting that the syllabus of subjects for the junior scholarships be so modified as to include only subjects set down for the fifth standaid, inclusive of arithmetic for the sixth standard. 2. That the syllabus nf subjects for the senior schol.u-hips is too extensive.— On the motion of Mr Upton, It was ipsohed to acknowledge, the icceiptof the letter, and state that it would be considerod by the board ; but tli.it, us far a-s this year is concerned, no alteration in the regulations can possibly be made. — Herald. SVe have also been handed a letter from one of the most experienced and successful country teachers in the educational district, in which ho says : "After carefully reading the report "of the Hamilton West School Committee "which you enclosed, I wish to lecord my hearty concmrence with tho opinions therein expressed. No practical teacher will for one moment, I think, considei the syllabus as at present drawn up suitable to tho requirements of tho educational district ; either it is too advanced or tho .i(,'c is fi\ed too low. The coiner adopted bv the Hamilton School Conimitteo will, [ feel Mue, beendoiiod by tho te.icheit. and committee gi ucr.tfly, and will, I hope, attain the denned end."
