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 exami-
nation will be held at convenient centres on the 11th and
12th of December, 1905.

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 so as
to reach the Department not later than the 8th of Novem-
ber, 1905.

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.

W. W. BIRD,
Inspector of Native Schools.
