On the application of the Hawke's Bay Board, six ex-pupil-teachers of that district, who had successfully and satisfactorily completed their term of apprenticeship, were granted scholarships to training colleges; four of them attended the Wellington institution, and two of them were permitted to enter the Christchurch Training School, with a view to their being enabled to attend classes in the Canterbury College. A similar scholarship was granted to a young teacher from Wanganui District, and another was conferred on a teacher from Nelson, in both cases on the recommendation of the Boards under which they had served.
