Te Makarini Scholarships, held at Te Aute College, Hawke’s Bay.

THREE scholarships of the yearly value of £35, tenable for two years, are offered for competition. One of these scholarships, to be called the senior scholarship, is 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, 1893. Candidates for the junior scholarships will be examined in the subjects specified for Standard IV. in the Native Schools Code, 1893. The questions will, however, be more difficult than those set for the standard examinations. The examination will be held at convenient centres on the 18th and 19th December, 1893. 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.
