PURSUANT to section 13 of the Local Bodies’ Loans Act, 1908, I hereby give notice that a poll of rate-payers of the Kaitieke Special-rating Area was taken on the 23rd day of April, 1913, on the proposal of the Kaitieke County Council to borrow the sum of three thousand five hundred pounds (£3,500) for the purpose of forming, culverting, and metalling approximately five miles of the Kaitieke Road, known as the Kaitieke Hill, in the Kaitieke Special-rating Area.

The number of votes recorded for the proposal was 92. The number of votes recorded against the proposal was 6. Informal, 1.

SCHOOL FOR THE DEAF, NEAR SUMNER, CHRISTCHURCH.

UNDER THE CONTROL AND SUPERVISION OF THE EDUCATION DEPARTMENT.

FOR Deaf Children of sound intellect. The pupils are taught to understand and use ordinary speech. The full charge for board and education is £40 a year, but less is accepted from parents who cannot afford to pay this amount. In case of necessity admission is free.

By the Education Act it is compulsory for deaf children to come under instruction at the age of six, and to continue until the age of twenty-one unless the Education Department previously grants exemption. Though a child is, as a rule, best fitted to begin the school course at the age of six, advice should be obtained as soon as any sign of deafness is observed.

The following classes of deaf children are admitted :—

1. Children born deaf, or who have lost their hearing before learning to speak.
2. Children who can hear a little, but are too deaf to be taught in a public school.
3. Children who have lost their hearing after having learned to speak.

Parents and other persons acquainted with such cases above the age of four are invited to communicate with the Director, or with

THE SECRETARY FOR EDUCATION,
Wellington.
