Technical Education.

A representative deputation interested in school matters waited upon the Borough Council Usb evening, in connection with the establishment of a Technical School in Ashburton Tt.e Rtv. R A Woodthorpe explained fully the steps already taker., and as a result he isntio p&ted an important centre in thia work being es ablished in Ashburton. In reply to a deputation to tho Education Board in Christchurch, and from further correspon dence from that quarter, the Committee had ascertained that the Board was anxious to meet their view?. The speaker urged imme diate action, and to this ond advocated tho appointment of a Committee, comprising a delegate from each pualiorjohool in the town, and one eaoh from the Borough Council, the County Council, and the A. and P. Asßooia tiou. A Governmer t grant would be applied for, and £500 to £600 obtained aa a neuoleus for the building, me deputation hoped to sea clasaea for manual and technical educa tion, and a School of Arts. From the reeu't of erquiriea, buy h*d ascertained provision would require to be made for 30 students, in each branch, making9o pupils in all, whereas in Lyttelton, a tuoceaaful start had been considered when they enrolled 30 pupiL. Io addition to appointing a delegate, the Borough Council was r queßted by Mr Woodlhorpe to grant a site in one of the Council's reserves. The Committee ccu'd make arrangements for a building for temporary purposes, bus naturally it was desired io obtain a permanent position and erection Mr Andrew Or explained that the Edu- j cation Board h»d asked if a building or arte were available as ib eppsared anxious to see opera'ions started at once, the portio of the reserve adjoining'the Borough Council building, he thought, would be most suitable, and this would meet with the diatiDct approval of the Board. A very small peppercorn rental of s&y l>a year might bo levied by tho Council MrCraigheaJ supported 'ha selection of thia site, as ib was most important they should secure the most central position. Mr H.rdie urged the claims of the school teachera if the County, from whom ho had 'received intimation of their Btrong desire to take advantage of the proposed local classes. Ihe taaohera were now obliged to make themselves acquainted with this branoh of ! eduoation, and in order to attend tha Christchuroh classes numbers ot them had to drive 20 miles to meet the early morning train to Christchurch ; travel aover il hours io the train, and the return journey had to be undertaken ag*in late ab night Ths Board had pointed oub a possible d ffioulty in obtaining teachers of technical eduoation, but he (Mr Hardie) thought that once their local centre was established this would be eaßily overcome. Cr Timmins would not like to see a build ing of £500 only in value pub up on this prominent reserve, Mr Brock replied thab once tho building was atar'.ed the Council need have no fear as to the olase of structure whioh would be erected. In addition to pupils and teachers there were others who would be glad to take advantage of the classes, Mr Tennant mentioned thab no cen're the 81Z3 of Aehburton had not already a technical Bohool or one iv course of ereotioD. If they delayed action on thia aurjacfc it meant cenbra'isatlon in Chriatchurch, which would be unfortunate for Ashburton. The Mayor assured the deputation that bhe Council would be glad to assist in every pofslble way and grant one of the besb sites available. The Council was able to lease for 65 years, although itooul.l not granb a free hold—a renewal over the term mentioned could also be granted; He was pleused this matter had been taken up by auch capable representatives. The public wou'd no doubt be glad to subsidise, and possibly a batter building than that of the Council might ultimately be erected. After the deputation withdrew, the Mayor was appointed the delegate of the Council to the Technical Oommi'tee after whioh Or Reid moved that the sits applied for be granted on tho longest loaae poss hie, and that tha necessary atepg to allocate it be taken. Tho Mayor and Cr Davison considered the application should be granted, even if it were the moat valuable site available in the town, and thab the one selected was an ideal one for the purpose. Cr Willie thought that as tho Committee might parhap? prefer another site, if a choice were offjred, tho matter should be left open for a little, and ho moved an amend ment thab the Reserveß Committee be instructed to confer with the Technical Classes Committee and report. Cr Raid urged tbe necessity of Immediate sanction being given, to enable the deputa' tion to proaeed to operations The latter had intimated pretty strongly, he thought, their Selection. After several amendments had been dealt with, it waa ultimately deoided to refer the decision to the »• etserven Committee, and if the deputation abill adhered to the site choeen, then the necessary atepa were to be taken to hand over thab reserve'

INSPECTOR OF BUILDINGS.

At latb night'a meeting of the Borough Council, a oomplainb against 0-ptain Barber, fire Inspector, at the instance of the Rev T Pee, waa dealt with. The labter had written thab the Inspector had unwarrantably in truded in the course of hia inspection into tho writer's house. Oi>pt«;n B-rber explained in a written reply rhat the statement thab he had pushed hia way through the house waa incorrect. When he called at the house no objection whatever had been raised by the B3ivant to hie inspecting the fire escape arrangements, aud no intrusion had taken place. Had this (the Inspector's) duties nob been carried out, Mr Fee would have baen jusb aa emphatic ia a complaint thab he (Captain Barber) had thus failed in his duty. Cr Will's moved that the substance of this reply be aenb to Mr Fee, The Inspector's reply was naturally pretty emphatic, and it was not desirable to create further friction. Or Davis urged thab the letter as a whole be Bent, aa there waa nothing offensive in it, and he moved an amendment in that direc , tion. Cr Clark seconded, pointing oub thab as Mr Fee had made a serious charge, he should on the other hand have the fire Inspector's full reply. Poisaibly, he thought, Mr Fee's servant might have misrepresented matters to him. Cr Timmina upheld the amendmenb, aa by dealing otherwise Mr Fee might still thick he was in the right. The Inspector was a good man, and should be supported, j Cra Alcorn and Reid supported the mobion, the latter signifying thab there was nothing to be gaioed in « prolonging the agony.' Cr Willis aßked leave to amend his motion to the etfect thab tha Council waa satisfied with the Inspector's explanation.' On the other hand he would point out to Councillors I J that no one from the Premier down, would fail to protest, if, as Mr Fee appeared to . think, hia house had been invaded in the j manner he had complained of. After all, lan Englishman's houae was hlB cjßtle, aad I some allowance should be made for Mr Fee'a J irritation, which waa oY«denbly a misunder | standing. I The motion was then carried a? wpaendsd.
