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, and in the supple-
mentary 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, 1893. The questions will, however, be more difficult
than those set for the standard examinations. The exami-
nation will be held at convenient centres on the 21st and
22nd December, 1896.

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.
