TABLE TALK.

Last night of "The Magistrate." Free Public Library opened. Under most brilliant auspices, too I Not a bitch in tbe whole proceedings. Say,—v 'at was meant by those three different colours of tickets t Don't know; looks rather like favourit ism. Yes; and I happen to know that botches of tickets were sent out to favoured in dividuals. Shame ! And lots of people could not get tickets though they trudged miles to get them. Ob, but they could buy tickets at 5s each from the " favoured few," don't you see? An arrest for incendiarism this morning. Ho-ho ! Caught that incendiary rab at last, eh ? Well, it's one thing to make an arrest, and another thing to get a conviction. Eden Terrace folks are not quite nnani mons about the proposed water loan. Some of them think it would be better to* join the city rather than play a lone hand. Hush 1 A little musical secret has just reached my ear. What's that? About Herr Sehmitt'e cantata for the opening of the Public Library. No; though that's funny enough, for music and words were all ready, but the Council would not pay the printing. And so it fell through. That's dis graceful parsimony I Besides, the know ledge that this cantata was in preparation prevented tbe production of another one by a local poet and musician. Well, there's no use crying over spile milk ; but this Free Library ceremonial has been bungled more ways than one. But if that isn't your musical secret, whab is it ? The Jubilee Cantata " Britannia and her Daughters 1" Oh no, that's old news ! What I bear » that there is to be an early recital in Auck and of the new comic opera " Pomare.' Ha! That's the work produced by two Aucklanders, and accepted for production by Australian managers. Yes; the work has now reached a stage when it can be placed before a select audience of critics and dUltlanti. Let me know when the recital comes off, for I should like to see if any good thing can come out- of Nazareth. The Premier spoke at Walpawa last night. So I see; but his speech was juEt a " hash-up'! of that which he gave a fort night ago at Marton. He comes to Auckland on sth April, and is to give a political address here. Who asked him to come here 1 It was the Radical Reform League, and I see that body are to meet on Monday night to make arrangements for the Premier's visit. The Devonport Navals have not got over their linen-washing yet. No; rather a tough job I Everybody appears to be behind iv the books, and the best thing they can do is to wipe off old scores and begin with a clean sheet. .Let ths petty officers forget their petty grievances, and go forward with true esprit de corps and all that sort of thing. Times are not so hard in the South after a-1* . , _ So it would seem. Yon can buy a leg Ot mutton for 6d at Invercargill. I should think that indicates rather bad times for the graziers. Not a bit; they cay that the price of Bheep at local auctions is much better than formerly. Anotner good sign. Canterbury Frozen Meat Co. have declared a dividend of 10 per cent.,and voted a bonus of £250 to the directors. - . • •■'■' -[6iUiia lm_~SStml^~ aiaKJinK VUmmmA Ah 1 Emerged from the Grub state ? Well, in a senßO; but they still meet at Grnbb's Buildings, Newton Baths. They meet there to-night- ' . And all interested in tbe game are in vited ; but I Bhould be afraief of catching cold. ■ ' . What do you mean ? From the baths ? No ; the draughts. ■ The local draughts-men must brave all " dangers in order to be reaLy to play Wylie, the Hord Laddie. _.. ' ' . Yes ; he means to come here, and I know he'B a wilt/ player 1 ... John Lundon has been blarneying the Papakura gumdiggers, I see. -A_ . ~ Told them they were a splendid lot of men, and that they would make first-rate village settlers. Oh, yes; anything to get them draw?» out into the wilderness to starve. No fear of that. Mr Tole, the Com missioner of Crown Lands, is going to in quire into the complaints made by-Mr Hobbß' :« . «. Accident on Mount Egmont. .Mies Mitchell struck by a boluder while ascend ing the hill, and badly injured. Bather risky work, mountaineering ; but folks will do it. Professor Hugo, the physiognomist, meant to make the ascent of Egmont when he went to Taranaki. Hope he dosn't run against the boulders or get a fresh assortment of " bumps.' Sir Julius Vogel thinks that the late Mr James Macandresv ehould have a statue raised to him. Tbe old, old story. His family are un provided for. They want bread and are of- I fered a stone.

NOTES AND COMMENTS.

Some interesting matters connected with our public school system are brought out in the reports of Southern inspectors. In-" spector Bindon, too, in his annual report on the schools in the Wanganui district, com plains of irregularity in attendance, the percentage of absences in Wanganui dis trict being the second highest in the colony. The work generally, be Bays, haß im proved, but he finds fault with some teacherß who work up their pupils to an unhealthy state of excitement by constantly holding the examination and the Inspector before them in a threatening manner, in place of having the work regularly and well done week by week, throughout the year. With reference to reader in Standard IV., having found for three years that many pupils are unable to make out the words of the text, he is of opinion that the book is too difficult, or sufficient time is not given to reading. In the higher standards the pupils seldom read as if they understood the sense of the passages and the parts of the sentences, and to meet that difficulty a suggestion is made that moro attention should' be paid to analysis* and synthesis. Tite grammar shows a decline, and arithmetic is still bad, and the work in theae subject?, Mr Bindon thinks, points to the desirability of an additional standard, so as to reduce the work required in IV., V., and VI. The want of knowledge ot local geography and colonial history is apparent almost every where. At some schools tho pupils are ig norant of the Queen's name, others of the Governor's ; other, children gave Sir Julius Yogel and Major Atkinson in answer to a question as to tho Governor of the colony.

The annual report of the Inspector for Southland alludes to the *p-eponderence of females over males engaged in tbe work of teaching, or anxious to be so employed; and this, though a higher salary is paid to boys than to girls in tbe same grades. Of 31 pupil teachers in the Board's service only 11 were boys, and of 25 candidates preparing to become pupil teachers only nine were boys, This is a serious defoct, and experience has shown it is no easy i task to apply an effectual remedy.

The Government programme for the ses sion is already a long one, and if the work is to be done with any degree of thorough ness, a large portion of the time will be ab sorbed by the measures already in contem plation. We learn that in addition I to those mentioned in our previouf issues, Mr Tole proposes to rein troduce his Criminal Codes and Supreme Court Reporting Bills of last session, beside* which either Sir Julius Yogel or Mr Ba lance will bring down the promised pro posal to extend the parliamentary franchise to women.
