IN pursuance of the powers vested in it in that behalf
by the Local Bodies' Loans Act, 1913, the Palmerston

That, for the purpose of providing the interest, sinking
fund, and other charges on a supplementary loan of £400,

mentioned Act, for the purpose of constructing and fitting up
a tepid swimming-bath, and acquiring a site if necessary,
the said Palmerston North Borough Council hereby makes
and levies a special rate of one two-hundred-and-fifteenth
of a penny in the pound upon the rateable value of all rate-
able property of the Borough of Palmerston North, com-
prising the whole of the Borough of Palmerston North; and
that such special rate shall be an annually recurring rate
during the currency of such loan, and be payable yearly on
the first day of June in each and every year during the
currency of such loan, being a period of thirty-six years, or

I hereby certify that the above resolution was duly passed
at a meeting of the Palmerston North Borough Council held

SCHOOL FOR THE DEAF, NEAR SUMNER,
CHRISTCHURCH.

UNDER THE CONTROL AND SUPERVISION OF THE EDUCATION
DEPARTMENT.

Director : Mr. J. E. STEVENS.

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 con-
tinue 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 to
the School for the Deaf (sound intellect being always a
necessity):

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.
   The Act imposes upon every parent, teacher of a school
   (either public or private), constable, or officer of a chari-
   table or kindred institution who is aware of the place of
   residence (either temporary or permanent) of a deaf child.
   and the householder in whose house any such child resides.
   an obligation to send notification of the fact to the
   Minister of Education, giving the name, age, and address
   of the child: and any neglect or failure to comply with
   this provision involves liability to a fine.
   Information and advice may be obtained from th
   Director, or from the

SECRETARY TO THE EDUCATION DEPARTMENT,
WELLINGTON.
