Girls' College. This year one of the pupils has been successful in winning a scholarship, taking the seventh place on the list. Another stands first on the credit list, and will probably be awarded a scholarship. The third girl sent in has a good place also on the credit list. Five passed the Matriculation examination. The results of the Junior and Senior Civil Service and of the , teachers' examination are not yet known. The University students were less numerous than in previous years, because the number of Junior Scholarship candidates was increased. Maude Ellis passed, the Second Year's Term Examination at Canterbury College, and sat for the first section of her B.A. degree; Janetta Hornsby passed the Third Year's Term Examination, and sat for the final section of the B.A. degree. The results of the degree examinations are not yet known. Since the publication of the last annual report, news has been received that Georgiana Cowles and Kose Avery passed the first section of the B.A. degree at the close of 1898.
