SCHOOL BUILDING.
Another matter which should not hang is the proposal of building a new school. The Government architect visited Hargraves last week, for the purpose of inspecting the old building, but so far I have not heard the decision; but if the people of the district, per the Association let matters rest, the matter will remain in abeyance. No doubt the old building will be altered, perhaps for the worse. I am informed that at least 20 children attending the school are short sighted owing to deficient lighting arrangements. If this is so, it should be brought under the notice of the Department at once, that is before a decision is arrived at otherwise it may be too late.
VACANCIES.
Seeing that many proposals are on the tapis, I would like before, the two vacancies on the committee of Progress Association filled at once8

Names of Successful District Candidates.
We print today a list of the successful candidates who sat for the qualifying certificate examination in this and adjoining districts. All the candidates took the same examination papers as the city boys and girls. Under the Bursaries Endowment Act., the bursaries allotted by the board are divided in the ratio of school population. This works out, so that one-third of the Bursaries are given to candidates from Sydney and suburbs, and two-thirds of the bursaries go to the country districts. These bursaries and scholarships are tenable at the country high schools or the district schools, but the names of the successful bursars and scholars will not be available until next week.
