NOTES AND COMMENTS.

The " Otago Daily Times" considers Sir Robert Stout's address euporior in tone to any speech jet delivered by him in Dunedin, It thinks he shculd have reviewed tbe_Vents of last session shortly afterwards, and':-baVe dealt with public policy, leaving IheJ'people plenty time to discuta it, bofote Parliament meets. It remarks:—"Nothing can be better gospel than ' selt'-rtliance,' though we cannot forgot how iho same man, now its exponent., derided it thiee year.B ago, when Major Atkinson was the preacher Perhaps ao part of his speech is si) ili. appointing as tne apologetic reference to retrenchment further on, und the wane Of backbouo displuj.d regarding tbat import ant matter. The Premier apparently thinks that every country diecriot is going to tele graph to Wellington offering. to dispense with mail deliveries, policemen, and other conveniences. We believe nothing is impossible towards reducing the Civil ijervice, and sure something can. be dune by way of amalgamating offices'. The Government muct take the initiative. Ministers should draw up a scheme for cut ting off theso conveniences, and stand-by it manfully." The " Times" thinks the declaration re borrowing admirably- con ceived, and expressed and suggests that the Agent-General should publish in {he "London Times." this portion of the speech. The writer- goes on- to cay: "The deficit runs into six figures, afld Ministers have nothing to propose for ri liog it up except fresh taxation by means ol Protective duties. The announcement that it is probably ' the. in tention of the Government to attempt next session a revision o£ the tariff "in the direction of Protection is the only important revelation. The Premier treated the subject very gingerly. We are glad to learn tbat Mr Ballance has been proposing more than the Government are pieparea to support in tho rt-purchm-e, of lan__« for settlement. Upon the favourite topic of native uffjirs Sit- i .chert at times strove to bo eloquent, thou., ho never did justice to tbe woik dono by Mr Bryce., In tho directiun cf leeul government; the Ministry may reasonably claim credit,-, biit tbo Premier lore ot to men iou that the billa owed much to ibetr predecessors.'' ,

Complaint is mado by the gentlemen w:bo conducted ihe recent tcholar.hip examina tion in Wellington that the examination was largely used merely for the purpose of enab ling candidates to gain such experience as will benefit them in luture competitions. Many who could not possibly hopo to gain scholar ships we_e.en_._piu direct opposition to tho advice ol the tsachors, some of theso ct.ildreu having not even passed the Fifth Standard. Tho resale whs that out of 78 who entered the lists, iJS failed to obtain 50 per cent, of the obtainable marks. At meeting of the Hoard ot Lducation in Wei* lingtou, the practice of these preliminary canters was generally condemned as being calculated to bring the system of education into contempt. It is probable that before tha next examination takes place the Board will make tome regulation cither fixing an entrance fee, or providing that if any candidates fail to score 20 per cent, of the marks in any subjoct the re mainder of,bis papers shall be set asido.
