THAMES NEWS.

(by telegbaph.—own cokrespondent.)

. i Thames, this day. Some time ago I mentioned that the Gover nors of the High Sohool had affirmed the principle of secondary schools being thrown open free to all children attending public or private schools, provided they succeeded in passing the Sixth Standard or an equivalent examination, and that a com mittee was appointed to arrange de tails in order to give the proposal a trial at the Thames. A meeting of the Com mittee has accordingly been held, and the secretary now publicly announces that all boys and girls resident in the Thames dis trict holding Sixth Standard certificates will be entitled to receive free tuition at the High School from the commencement of the next term in January. It is neces sary that each application should be accom panied by a certificate as to character. Mr Wm. Deable has announced himself as a candidate for the Hastings Riding of the .County Council, in opposition to Mr J. B. Steedman, the present member.
