LAURELS FOR GISBORNE.

We have again the pleasure of extending our congratulations to the Principal (Mr Morgan) and the other teachers connected with the Gisborne School, on the great success that continues to be achieved by the scholars. It is no new thing for us to have such an opportunity, bat it is a pleasure which certainly does not lessen in value on that account. It is a very high testimonial of the efficiency of the school and of the brilliant capacity and diligence of the scholars for Gisborne to be able to carry off more than half of the scholarships available in the extensive Hawke’s Bay education district. To Mr Campbell Thomson’s clever son Hedley an additional word of praise is due, He has, we believe, succeeded in winning an honor that any boy would have good reason to be proud ofv-du* of the Hawke’s Bay district. We hope that the school will always ba able to sustain the high reputation that it lias gained, and that the scholars who have not been suoceasfi.il on this occasion will be further encouraged by the success of their fellows, Our advice to those scholars who have done so well—we do not refer only to those who have won prizes—is to make their success merely the stepping stone for greater and equally honorable triumphs, and to avoid the mistake that is sometimes made by clover boy a lind girls, of relying on present victories, in later years to find themselves lagging in ihe path of progress. Let '• OnSard I" be their watchword.
