This includes all the examination fees and the approximate cost of instruments, which, of course, are the students' own property.
For a post-graduate course entailing further instruction and practice in operative dentistry - involving no entrance examination and necessitating the attendance of students in the mornings only, so that they may, if so desired, hold assistantships with local dentists in the afternoons - the fee is £25.
• A trim-looking, light-coloured barque, flying the flag of Norway, was sighted off the Heads yesterday morning, and on being towed in proved to be the Norwegian barque Aleida, from Bunbury, with a cargo of 15,434 jarrah sleepers for the Railway Department.
Captain Bernstein reports that owing to calms, Cape Leeuwin was not passed until the barque was 10 days out; then N.E. and E. winds prevailed and it took a couple of weeks to sight the New Zealand coast, then five days to get through Foveaux Strait, which she cleared last Saturday evening.
During the whole trip there had been no occasion to furl the top-gallant sails once on account of there being too much wind.
• In the Legislative Council yesterday, the debate on the Hon. Mr Barr's motion urging that it was in the best interests of this country that the Government should take into its immediate consideration the devising of some further practical measures whereby the heavy cost of living at present borne by the married workers, as compared with the unmarried, might be lessened, and that the position of those with families be especially considered, so that the rearing of their children might be looked forward to with less anxiety than at present, and parenthood thereby encouraged, was concluded.
The Attorney-general, in the course of an interesting speech, said he considered that many of Mr Barr's suggestions were more or less practical, and all aimed at lightening the burden of the man who was doing the best service to the country in bringing up future citizens.
The motion was carried on the voices. - ODT, 26.8.1908.
