open to all Maoris under sixteen years of age at the end of
the month preceding the date of the examination; the other
two scholarships are junior scholarships, and are open to all
Maoris under fifteen years of age at the end of the month
preceding the date of the examination who have not been
pupils at Te Aute or St. Stephen’s, and whose attendance
at school during the previous year is considered by the
Inspector of Native Schools to have been satisfactory.
The senior scholarship is offered for competition among
Maori boys on the conditions laid down in the regulations of the Trustees of the Te Makarini Scholarships
Fund, as printed in the Native Schools Code, 1886, and in
the supplementary regulations that have been sent out to all
teachers. Candidates for the junior scholarships will be
examined in the subjects specified for Standard IV. in the
Native Schools Code, 1886. The questions set will, however, be more difficult than those given at the standard
examinations. The examination will be held at convenient
centres on the 19th and 20th December, 1892.

Candidates must, either directly or through their teachers,
send notice to the Inspector of Native Schools, Education
Department, Wellington, of their intention to present themselves for examination. Such notice must be posted not
later than the 31st October next.

Copies of the regulations and forms of notice may be
obtained from teachers of Native schools and boarding institutions, the Secretaries to Education Boards, or the Secretary for Education.
