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 Maori boys under sixteen years of age at the end
of the month preceding the date of the examination: the
other two scholarships are junior scholarships, one of which
is open to all Maori boys under fifteen years of age at the
end of the month preceding the date of the examination
who have attended a Native school or schools other than 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 other is open to Maori
boys whose attendance at any school during the previous
year has been similarly 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 Maka-
rini Scholarships Fund, as printed in the Native Schools
Code, 1897. Candidates for the junior scholarships will be
examined in the subjects specified for Standard IV. in the
Native Schools Code, 1897. The questions will, however, be
more difficult than those set for the standard examinations.
The examination will be held at convenient centres on the
20th and 21st December, 1897.
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

tutions, the Secretaries to Education Boards, or the Secre-
tary for Education.
