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 In-
spector 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 them-
selves 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 insti-
tutions, the Secretaries to Education Boards, or the Secre-
tary for Education.

Inspector of Native Schools.
