TINWALD SCHOOL COMMITTEE

A meeting of householders of tbo Tinwald School District was held at the sohoolboa-e, Tinwald last evening. There was a large at. tendance, and on the motion of Mr Corrigan, seconded by Mr McMillan, Mr Lewis took the chair.

The Chairman explained that the Board of Education had declared the annual election held in April last invalid, and it was now necessary for the householders to elect a new i Committee. He hoped the me ting would at i once proceed with the business of the evening, I which, lie felt sure, would be conducted in an j expeditious and orderly manner. lie asked I householders to nominate candidates. In response to the Chairman's invitation, ' fifteen candidates were nominated, j In reply to a question the Chairman read 1 a letter, addressed by the Board of Education to Mr 8. Corrigan and other householders in the district, stating that the Board had de clared the last election invalid in consequence of every person present at the annual meeting irrespective of qualification having been allowed to vote. On the morion of Mr .Joseph Clark, seconded by Mr Gudsell, a Committee of four was appointed to determine who o£ those present wore entitled to vote. The Committee having distributed the j voting papers, Mr Corrigan said he objected ( to the Chairman relegaring his duties to a 1 Committee. The < 'hairman alone should de- ( cide upon the qualifications o£ voters. .

The Chairman said he would take no res ponsibility whatever with regard to the matter. He thought the Chairman of such a mooting should remain entirely impartial. After some desultory discussion of a noisy but good-humoured description, it was dis covered that the motion proposing the ap pointment of the Committee had not been put to the meeting. Mr Clark then moved " That a Committee consisting of four or more .persons be appointed to determine who is Entitled to vote, and that a householder be * afined as a person who has owned or occu pied a house in the district for anytime ex ceeding one week.”—Mr Gudsell seconded the motion.

Mr Corrigan proposed a number of amend ments, but none of them were seconded. Tho motion was then put and carried almost unanimously.

A number of other motions were proposed and seconded, aud a prolonged discussion of a conversational character took place. Ulti mately the various proposals were allowed to lapse, and Mr Clark having distributed voting papers to the new arrivals, a ballot was taken with the following result ;

R. Jeffs I'J M. O'Brien .. .. .. H W. 11. Bell Bfi C. Jephson .. .. .. 3t» F. S, Shearer .. .. ..27 J. Reid 27 R. Ennis .. .. .. 23 J. Heseltino ~ .. ..17 E.

Ennis duly elected as a School Committee for

the ensuiug year, and votes of thanks to the scrutineers (Messrs I'imant and Brown), and the Chairman concluded .he proceedings.

MEETING OF COMMITTEE

The first meeting of tho newly-elected Committee was held immediately after the meeting oi householders. Ail the members were present, aud Mr C. Jephson was ap pointed Chairman. The master’s report was received, and it was decided to close the school for mid-winter holidays for the week ending July 3. The Chairman was direoied to invite applications for the position of Secretary to the Committee, and a.resolution was passed approving of tho Educational Franchise Bill introduced to the House of Represeulalhc-s by Major Steward. Messrs Shearer and Jeff were appointed a Visiting Committee for the month. The Committee then adjourned. *

"THE FLOWER QUEEN.”

“The Flower Queen, or tho Coronation j of the Rise,” is the title of a litTo can tata, which tho children attending the Borough .-ch'ols purpose perfotming on Wednesday evening, for the entertain ment of their elders and for the benefit of! the prize fund. The cantata is ra’her n higher flight than has bean attempted, ire believe, by any other school in the colony ; bat thanks to the fact that tho headmaster, Mr W. H.Kncen, is a superior theoretical and prac ical musician, the work of teachin; the cantata to tho children, though feaifuliy heavy' to an amateur, has been com- j parafively llyht to him, though it has; doubtless meant much labor to bin) not- ; withstanding The cantata is of a piece ; with Esther ” and “ Belshazzar’s Feast ” | with which tho Wesleyan choir has re- j cently made us familiar, but se one \ does not expect to find tenors and basses j (the adult voices) among school children, I the music has been arranged by Mr G. I F. Root for soprano and aito voices only It must be said for tho composer that he has certainly beer eminently successful in producing a wonderfully pretty musical story, and it remains only for the Borough School children to make the beauty of that story evident to the parents and friends who are expected to be present on evenieg in M, Stephen’s ecnooi. Mr Kneen invited us to bear a rehearsal l»st week, and representatives of the press accepted the invitation. The opinion was unanimously favorable, and j when we looked at the score of th- j cantata in a spare moment, and compared i it with our recollections of the children’s ; rendering of the music, we were quite ; delighted. The poetry >a by Miss Frances | Jj. •- Cns'ey. a gadus’e of the Few I y<»k fusutut- for the blind, and the | wo.-ds have with them the true poetic I ring. Briefly, the argument of the piece is that “the flowers meet in a secluded I dell in the forest tc choose their queen A person, discontented with the world, seeks in the same place retirement from it a cares anc disappointments. The flowers tell - f love and duty ; and the Recluse —leaning that to till well the sta tion allotted by Providence is to be happy —resolves to ro om again to usefulness and contentment among his fellow crcatur s ” The little story of the flowers is eo well told by the poetess, aud the musical composer enhances its beauty by the pretty choruses trios, duets, aud solos, which be has set for the young fresh voices of the children ; and, us every lino breathes a lesson of goodness and truth alike to the singers and the bearers, wo hope the people of Ashburton will aid by their presence tho teacher who lias thus set himself the task of instilling into his pupils, through tho medium of their musi cal sensibilities, some »i tho highest moral lessons it is possible to inculcate upon our weak and erring human nature.
