Ashburton High School Board.

A meeting of the Ashburton High School Board was held to-3ay. Present —Messrs Hugo Friedlander^ chairmat)), W. B. Denshire, Andrew Urr, Donald Williamson, and the Hon. Major Steward JINANCE The Chairman reported the debit balance at the Bank to be £243 3s Id. MASTER'S REPORT Mr Edgar Buchanan, ac ing head master, wrote, stating that Mr Habers , had examined the school, and would j forward a report to the Board if required. ! The Chairman thought that as con sidera'ion of the re-organisation of the teaching staff of the school was before the Board, it would be well to have Mr Habenb' report on hia recent inspection. It was decidnd to write to Mr Habens, asking for this report. SCHOLARSHIPS. Major Steward stated that of the sis scholarships awarded two had been for- j feited, and these, with the two which had I not been awarded, left four still available. As three of the scholarships which had been previously awarded would shortly expire, it was decided that examinations for bight scholarships be held shortly. CRICKET. the master wrote, asking that a small grant be made to ths Cricket Club of the school. It was decided to make a grant of £2. ANNUAL PRIZES. The matter of arranging for the annual prizes was referred to the Committee. VISITING COMMITTEE. Mr Denshire, for the Visiting Com mittee, ggve a verbal report. THE HBAHMASTER. Mr E. Buchanan's report stated that his father was seriously ill, and Ms illness was of so serious a nature that it may be long before he could teach again. Conse quently it was for the Board to decide on the future of the school. It was decided that the secretary be instructed to write to the present head master, expressing the Board's sympathy with hia father m his illness, and trusting that he may have a speedy recovery. THE GIRLS' SCHOOL Miss Sannders, mistress of the Girls' High School, forwarded a report. She suggested that two scholarships be awarded to scholars within the school who were the most forward. After considerable discussion Major Steward moved that one scholarship m the girls' school and two m the boys school be awarded, to be competed for by High School pupils alone, and that the conditiens of the other scholarships granted exclude High School pupils from competing—the Bigh^ School scholarships to be awarded to tlie boys or girl who have respectively attained the highest average number of marks. Scho'ar&hip holders to be excluded from competition. This was moved as the different sub jects taught at the High schools and the Primary schools prevented equal competi tion between the pupils. REORGANISATION Ol? THE SCHOOL- The report of the sub-committGe ap pointed to consider the question of re organising the school forwarded a report The question of the proposed amalga mation of the Girls' and Boys' schools was considered. Replies from parents of pupils attend ing the school, with regard to the proposed change were received. Some were m ita favor and a few against it. j The chairman said that he was strongly m favor of amalgamation. The or jections appeared to be on the grounds that the girls and boys would be together during the play hours. This objection was alto gether unfounded, as arrangements could be made for separate playgrounds. All that was wanted was that ihey should be taught together m the schools. Major Steward said the financial posi tion of the Board allowed no ohei 1 arrangemert. He moved " That it is expedient that theechoolsbe amalgamated, and carried on undtr one teaching staff." Mr Andrew Orr seconded the motion, whicb was carried. The subcommittee's report was then. J read and adopted as follows :— " That m the event of amalgamation, this com mittee recommend (1) the appointment of three teachers, salaries to be as follows ; — Headmaster £9,75, mistress £150, assistant male or female £100 ; (2) that the fees be reduced by £1 Is per term, provided the amount h paid within one month from the commencement of each term."

RELIGIOUS INSTRUCTION

Major Steward gave notice <o move that the school be opened for the ordinary curriculum of the school at 9 30 and that "it be arranged that non doctrinal instruction m the Scripture be given by one or more members of the teaching s»-aff daily during the preceding half hour —viz. from 9 to 9 o)—to those pupils whose parents elect to send them for such instruction ; a notice to be given to all parents of pupils, and posted up m the schoolroom m accordance with this re solution." It was decided that the Board do not incur any expense m connection with the breaking up celebration. Sundry other business was transacted and the meeting adjourned.

THE MARKETS.

London, November 28 & fair catalogue was offered at the wool sales to-day, and there was good competition, chiefly on German account. Sydney, November 28 Owing to the low prices and continued dry weather large areas of wheat have been cut for hay. Received November 29, 10 50 a m. London, November 28 The wool market has a better tone. Good combing firm, inferior old is neglected.

Gruesome Method of Amusement.

The greatest attraction at the present time m Paris is the "Cabaret dv Neant, Brasserie de la Mort" on the Boulevard Rochechouart. The exterior is just like an ordinary house with the doorway decked out m black for a funeral . On pushing aside the pall you find yourself m a dimly lit room decorated with funeral ornaments pic tures of dead bodies, skeletons, skulls, and the like. The tables are coffins, and the garcons call for " Bieers " in stead of " Beers." Dressed as the mutes these garcons have tall hats, black gloves, and so on. When ten or fifteen persons are there you go down into a vault-like passage and knock at the door which is opened by a monk, who *hows you into a chapel where all are seated. In front of the congregation is a coffin standing on end, and well back, with black drapery all round. Anyone is invited to step into it, and is covered up to the shoulders with a white cloth, the harmonium is played solemnly, the light gradually goes down and the person m the coffin seems (0 turn into a skeleton. It is done with mirrors. On leaving you put your tip into a hole m a skull and look through a window which has an arrangement of glasses and see yourself decked out m your coffin. Happily for the nerves of the ladies, and many of the men as well, there is plenty of laughing, Des | pite that it is so terribly realistic that some shudder and turn away.—Pall Mall Gazette.'

PORTABLE WASH BARROWS. No home is couipleto without one of the indispensable requisites. They arj a necessity where cleanliness, utility, and health are valued. FARMERS~LOOK HERE! ARE YOUR MOWER KNIVES READY FOR WORK? I ha^e just received supplies of the New Model Dutton MOWER KNIFE GRINDER. "KEEP THE KNIVES SHARP," Is what every manufacturer of mower* directs. With this grinder it can easily be done. . With a dull knife, the wear and Btrain, both on machine and team, are greatly increased, and the grass will be badly cut. A man, or even a boy, with this machine, can grind mower knife perfectly, and with ease and rapidity. When a section is dulled or nicked by coming m ccntact with a stone, as often happens, it can be sharpened without grinding the other sections. THE "CORUNDUM GRINDING WHB«L" does its work we'], .it wears but little, and will last, according to the amount of work done, from three to five years, and probably longer. 'Ihere is a large hole m the centre of the wheel, made water tight by the flanges which clamp the wheel and hold it m position. When the machine is used this hollow space is filled with water, through a small hole m the side of one of its flanges; the hole is then plugged up. When turning the wheel m grinding, the water is driven through ita pores by centiifugal force, completely wetting its grinding surface. This prevents the temper of the knife trom being destroyed, which would Be done if the wheel weie used dry. THE OPERATOR while grinding a knife, stands facing the side of the wheel and over the knife clamp. This brings the grinding of the section directly under the eye. By means of a new improve ment the grinder can be readily clamped to a pole or the rim of any wheel having & wjdth of from 3to s^inches. It requires but little sk 11 to use this grinder ; the directions sent with each, machine will, if followed, enable anyone to work it without trouble. These machines are protected fully by patents m the United States, Canada, Great Britain, France, Belgium, and Sweden T 0 LE T, An Acre of Land, with 6-roomed House, near the Woollen Factory.
