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 other than Te Aute and St. Stephen’s during the previous year has been similarly satisfactory. The senior scholarship is open to 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, 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 somewhat more difficult than those set for the standard examinations. The examination will be held at convenient centres on the 14th and 15th of December, 1903.

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 so as to reach the Department not later than the 9th of November, 1903.

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, Wellington.

JAMES H. POPE,
Inspector of Native Schools.
