Wanganui

(From our travelling coi respondent.) - ~ During the recent ' Industries Weekj' held in Wanganui, one of the methods adopted for creating interest in the local manufacturing concerns there was the granting of a prize by the biscuit company for an essay, open to children attending schools in the district. All the competitors — and there were many — visited the factory, and noted how the goods were v manufactured, so as to get the groundwork for their essays. The papers, when handed in, were then adjudicated upon by a competent' judge, and the first prize was " won by Miss Aileen Sullivan, a pupil of the Wanganui Convent. Miss Sullivan, who is only 14 years of age, is a daughter of Mr. E. Sullivan, of Pahiatua. The judge complimented the competitors on their excellent productions, and bestowed well-meriteH praise on the- winnat for her descriptive paper on- the subject. This res alt re-flected-not only credit on Miss Sullivan, but also on lwr teachers, the Sisters of St. .Joseph.
