THE SCHOOL ELECTION.

TO THE EDITOB. Sib,— As the annual School Committee Election is now near at hand, I hope that m justice, not only to the Borough of Ashbur* ton itself but to its borough echool, the house* holders who for years past have negligently absented themselves from the annual meet* ing, and have thus allowed a select coterie of suburbanites to manage the eoholastic affairs of the borough, will be preeent on the even ing of April 25, to record their votea m favor of a majority of broader minded, more intelligent, and lesa illiterate men than those who have hitherto held office. During the time of Messrs Dempsey and Kneen, the town school was |a byword from the Rangitata to the Hurunui, as one where quarrels between Committee and staff were the order of the day. la Me Mayne's time things improved, for he was a diplomat of the highest order ; but since then we have heard nothing but motions and amendments as to what our teachers shall do and shall nob do, both m and out of bcliool honrs. First, of the restricted tenets of the Com* mittee take the case of Miss Mil'er, a pupil of our High Schiol. She elected to become a teacher ; she cime to the Borough School ; ■he came, I believe, with Mr Mayne'a consent, to gather wuat knowledge she could of her probable duties ; she was debarred from doing so at the time by a section of the Committee, just when she had a chance of entering ova life long work. Why ? She was never a Borough School pupil ! She was an alien, a very pariah and she stood m the way of less talented Borough. School pupvls. Ajain, some young teachera had te be appointed to the school, and to elect them the majority of the Committee decided to vote by ballot. One member objected, and wished to vote differently to the others, and although the majority decided against ?hini as r-jgurda the vote, open v. ballot, he makes tome such statement to the oentral Board, that Boaad, Committee, nor he "know where they are." Then, aaother Commitreeman gives notice cf motion, after a deplorable fatal accident one Sunday at Mount Scmera, that the educational authorities m Uhrißtchurch ahou d regula'e the actions of the teachers on the seventh dayi In short, to deal m fall with the various • moves " of the Ashburton So'ool Committee requires more time than I can spare. Bat it the h"UseholJers will only oollect that t) eir school is governed by men, of whom many come from outtiide the Belt, if they reoolleot this I repeat, they will turn up at the annual n.eeiing and elect townsmen of worth, of merit, and even of intelligence.— l am, etc, HOCSBHCLDKB.

"A word to the wise is sufficient" and a word from the wise should be sufficient, but you nsk, who are the wise ? Those who kuow. The oft repeated experience of trim worthy persons may be taken for knowledge. Mr W. M. Terry says Chnmherlaiu's Cough i-ieme^y gives better satisfaction than any other m the market, tie has been m the Irujj bu iueßß at Elkton, Ky., for twelve years; has sold hundreds of bottles of this remedy and nearly all other cough medicine 1 ] manufactured, whioh shows conclusively that Chamberlain's is th* most sati-factory to the ( ,«"T>!f\ «wtl if the best.
