Meddms, Phaup, Silcock, Jones and Mac Lean Dun. i # # FINANCK & SSTdffgA *" OTOW "*"• MB MAYNE. Mr J. B. Mayne, ex-headmaster of the school, wrote acknowledging the testimonial sent him by the Committee. _, _ , AUEKTON SCHOOL. The Board wrote giving particulars of how the ude schools at Phllfipftown and St. Albans were worked- by ceitifjcated mis tresses, assistant mutress, and papil teachers. Enstrnotion up to and including the third standard would be impartial Allenton, but the Board asked the Committee to con s;der how far this would affect the main school The Committee were asked to as* certain how many children would be likely to attend the Allenton school. TUe Chairmar reported that the teachers had gone through the roll and found that abou£ sixty would leave the main sohool for the side school. The effect on the main sohool would be to lose the second assistant teacher and a pupil teacher. It was decided to ask the Board to teaoh up to and inclusive of the third standard at Allenton school. master's report. The master reported having entered upon his duties on April 1 The inspector had made his surprise visit, aDd had pointed out oertaiu weaknesses which would no donbt be dealt with in the inspector's report. The numbers on the roll were 482, with an aver age of 410, The highest attendance on any one oilf day had been 423. The average was not what it should be, and at least 85 to 90 per cent of the roll number should be present every day, The Rev Mr Ingtis had asked liberty to Rive a temperance lesson once a month after houw to those children who cared to stop for the purpose. The master desired to be instructed in this con nection. A lisb of irregular attenders was attached to the report, and it was resolved to hand the list to the police. As the Committee had received no appli cation from Rev Mr Icglis in regard to the proposed lessons the master was instructed^ to that effect. VISITING COMMITTEE. The Visiting Committee reported on the tree question, but had nothing to recom mend, and dealt with matters of detail in regard to the master's house, and the school buildings. These were authorised, and the new visiting committee was asked to see the work done. Mr Phaup was appointed to the Committee with Mr Silcock. " HOLIBAYS. The usual Easter holidays were granted.

Bander tfe Hon's Eucalypti Extract. AH other crude oils are to be classed among the turpentines, which have, when used as medicine, no theraptutic effect, ami are abandoned as an internal medicament. These so-called Eucalypti Extracts whfqh may have received distinction at Exhibitions its commercial articles are used for mechanical purposes are only discernible. By their deficiency in rmgent odour—which our product, the only genuine Eucalypti Extracts developes most freely through its surplus of oxygen By their alcoholic thin and mobile appearance being reduced in specific density through the presence of acid*. By their taste, the result of the contracting ten dency of lesius and tennates. If these crude oils, so-called eucalypti extracts, are applied by mistake in cases of croup, bronchitis diph theria, internal inflammations, dysentery, wounds, th« consequences are appalling-.
