No. 3. The Hon. the Minister of Education to the Chancellob. Sib, — Education Department, Wellington, 19th November, 1880. I have the honour to forward for your information copies of a despatch* and enclosures from Her Majesty's Principal Secretary of State for the Colonies respecting cadetships at the Eoyal Military College and preliminary examinations of cadets for the army. I have to ask you to be good enough to favour the Government with your opinion upon the best mode of giving effect to the proposal for holding the examinations of the Civil Service Commissioners in the colonies. It might be preferable to have the papers sent to each University, and to hold the examination on the same day in each year by each University. The difficulty of one centre being adopted for all the Australasian Colonies is scarcely realised by the Home authorities. I have, &c, The Chancellor, New Zealand University, Christchurch. Thomas Dick.

I have, &c, W. M. Maskell, The Hon. the Minister of Education. Eegistrar.
