The Evening Star. TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 21, 1871.

The annual general meeting of the members of the Mechanics' Institute will be held on Thursday evening nest, and it behoves all those who take any interest in vhat ought to be the literary and scientific institute of the city to awake to the necessity of

doing something to raise this estab lishment to a proper position. The only time during the year wheu such effort can prove efficient is at the .•u'.nuol meeting, when members assemble co select these who will have charge of the interests of the institute during the coming twelve months. : he character of the establishment for j efficiency a* a literary arid scientific institution has sunk so low that a little plain speaking is requisite. We observe i that the usual system of nomination, i which was regarded last yearns being so , I objectionable, is continued: and a eei-t.uu number of names hare been .privately arranged and posted on a board In a lobby of the reading room : and from these, aud these only, J will cue selection, of managers be made. Anyone acquainted with esta blish me ais lv which abuses :ir.e rile, know how these fellings are done. Acid; though, doubtless, the names of many : of those iiomiuated are quite unob jectionable, the impression is conveyed that by those interested in pulling the strings behind the soeues, rhe names have been so balanced that any attempt at reform will bo neutral ised. We do not say that owing to the usages of rhe Institute any other course was open, tor nomi nating on this occasion, but from the liability to abuse, and rhe positive .•.buses"which the system has produced, we urge the member? of the Institute chat they should return to the ordi uary and honest method of a public .nomination. Ie is needless for us to .allude to the oft-repeated expressions of dissatisfaction, that hare been made nbrouv.h the public press during the p.-.ist twelve months ; charges of in civility an I discourtesy from the Secretary of the Institute, and complaints of the general apa thy o( the committee, and in efficiency of the whole establish ment. These charges and complaints may have been well or ill founded ; but there has been an impression that their investigation has been b-irked by the committee, and that from, the pro tection atrordei to the Secretary by the predominating party in the com mittee, his position was removed be voud the complaints and maoism of members. Such an impression as i-his, and it has been a general im p' Vision, is exceedingly detrimental to she institute, a,ud fully accounts tor the unpopularity that has attended Ul It is feit, moreover,.. that oNVfn'Sf Co' tft&'mtrte "pfefi&fti'ftiWTfi'S; [party in the councils of rhe Institute any thing which will entail additional labor on the Secretary is tabooed. This, we understand, ha.-? been the rock cm which the late popular entertain ments split; this has been the in nu erice that drew a wet blanket over the idea of lectures and classes, and this, we understand, has been the obstacle that prevented the success of Mr. Cawkweli's admirable plan of two canvassers and collector?! for the fn stitute. A. tender regard for the .Se cretary has been the bane of the Insti tute for the past twelve months; and so inflnentia] has it been, owing to the composition of the committee and the pulling of the strings, that the firs':- consideration has been what i> for the convenience of the Secretary, and not what has been for the good of the public. If the members desire a con tinuance of this stare of things they can have ifc by repelling all advice tend ing to reform, and electing the new committee in accordance with the no mination of the secret conclave charged with the perpetuation of the past. As we have said, there are some excellent names among the mem bers mominatedj but it is ' only honest to the Institute to say that there fire some names- that should not be iff the flew executive. Mr. Whitaker deserves re election, as Pre sident. He take, sincere though non interferifjg interest in the Institute, arid gracefully yields to the decisions of the committee, even though opposed to his own wishes ; although he is a little too much inclined to the feeling that whatever is, is right. Mr, Phi lips is perhaps the best officer in con nection with the institute, and lakes in it that intelligent and influential parb that ho does in all other public matters with which he is con nected; and, if supported by a proper committee, wonld raiso the Institute to efficiency. But Mr. Phil lips takes note oi his materials, and if ho sees that he cannot guide aright, allows himself to be led. As Vice president, Mr. Philips could not bo spared. Mr. George, the second Vice president, is simply the tool of the Se cretary, and occupies the position mainly to make the Institute subser vient te tho interests of the Secretary. The fejecretary's cause he makes his cause, and defends it with personal acrimony. Intellectually and educa tionally Mr. George is nob fitted for tho position of Vice-president to a, htorary and fjcienl-ific itiHtitute, aud, and like all persons of hia mental calibre, he is an obstructionist in the

way of reform. His long connection with the city and the Institute may plead with some ; but the day for such things is past in Auckland, and really the overweening self-conceit of Mr. "George should not be allowed to mar the usefulness of an Institute that should be on a par with the intelligence of the city, ami of the age. We would strongly recommend that Mr. Cawk well "should take the place of Mr. George, This gentleman, whose enter prise is kuovra, has been bhe originator of various proposals for renovating the Institute, all of which have been over thrown by the predominating influence to which we have alluded. There could be none better than Mr. Cawk well by the side of Mr. Phillips, al though his disposition would prompt him to decline the honor, a disposition which will doubtless be taken advan tage of. With regard to the nomina-

tions tor the general committee, we shall make no further remark. They are evidently arranged ; and being in three batches, have apparently been prepared on the principle of "you claw me. and Til claw you." After the experiences of the past yea:- we would recommend that a committee wholly new should be elected, pledged to infuse energy into the Institute, I But we feel confident that whiLe die best o? the number might be disposed to such a course, those who 'are appointed for the express purpose of obstructing alteration and reform would clnr~ to their positions with

fcenaeity. We have thus honestly spoken the words of truth and soberness in coun selling the members of the instifrifa We have done so with the simple desire of beneSfcting the establish ment, and endeavouring to make it a credit no the town ; although from the manner ia which the interests ot the Secretary have been con sulted, in common with all wishing for reform in the institute our ad vice will, doubtless, be received by some, only in. relation to the secrebarr, and as prompted by inten tions to do him injury. We have no such intentions-, and we only desire chat a committee be elected, which will take an independent stand in the interests of the public, and raise the Auckland Mechanics' Institute to the highest state of efficiency.

Tits following is the list of nominations yet received in connection with the Me chanics' Insi-ifcafce ; and from which, i witb. wh-ite7BT additions 'may be made in the meantime, the s«l«c- j tion of officers will be wiade on ThnTs-' day evening. We would recommend mem bers to pnfc aside, for once, their apathy, and nominate a sufficient number to make ;ha selection an honest one. President, Afr.

BOARD OF EDUCATION.

Che adjourned meeting of the Board was held resterday, his Honor the Superintendent pre siding. Present : the Provincial Secretary, Dr. Nicholson, Messrs. Hurst and O'Eork -.— Ehe Secretary read the minutes of the pre vious meeting, which were confirmed. IS'STPtCTOE, CT SCHOOXS -i>~~D SSCEETABT TO che Boaed.—The Prsc-ident read a letter from the Inspector and Secretary to the Board, stating that he would retain the oflice :>f Inspector of Schools and Secretary to the Board, as upon careful consideration he be lieved he would be able to discharge the duties af the joint offices —at all events until the sitting of the Council —by having the assist ance of a gentlemen of education and experi ence to attend to the office work.—Mr. O'Eorke j said when he had proposed Mr. O'Snllivan originally for the office, the sum. available for for educational purposes was very small (£1500). With the present adequate means at the disposal of the B ;ard (£4500), £300 of that amount would go to secure the services of Inspector and Secretary to the Board. There was a resolution of the Council, on the motion of Dr. Nicholson, fchafc the offices should be separated. That being the case, it iniijht be better that the applications for the situation of Inspector and Secretary should be invited by public advertisement —the salary to be £"300 per annum.—Mr. Lusk thought it worth consideration whether the office might j not bo efficiently filled and something paid. Mr. O'Sullivan stated that he could discharge the duties, and a more efficient officer could not be easily obtained. —Mr. Hurst thought the offer of Mr. O'Sullivan worthy of consideration. Bub there wtu a con dition to obtain other assistance. — The President: Mr. O'Sullivau undertakes the whole control of the office and engages to provide himself with clerical assistance. Then he undertook the duties rill the session of the Council. The Assembly shall have met before then, and may have passed an Educa tion Act applicable to the whole colony.—Dr. Nicholson was of opinion that the decision of the Board had been anticipated by the comae which events had taken. He thought that it was hardly fair to can lidates for trie office or to Mr. O'Sullivan himself, that the decision should be anticipate !. He seconded the motion of Mr.' O'Eorke, that applica tions be invited by advertisement. —The President said there were several con siderations which might influence the Board in coming to a decision. In the first place, although "£-4500 had been voted by Council, it remained yet to be seen whether that amount would be expendible. In the neit it was extremely probable —Mr. GHsborne hid intimated as much—that the General Govern ment were engaged upon a bill for general education. It appeared premature to vote a considerable sum fbr an office that. might cor, exist for the year. The Inspector should be the "right-hand man" of tlie Board. The question then was. whether it was worth while to fill np an appointment which, even suppose the Provincial Act to be pussed nest session of the Council, such an Act might have a very material efi'ect upon this offi.ee. The question waa pah, that applications from candidates be incited.—lTr. Lusk moved, "That 2'lr. p'Stiliivan's offer be aewpfced."— "Ttrer Botvi-d «.lloi.-wi v wlxea tLus m rr, hers ap peared to be equal, and the president gave hia caat.ing vote for the amendment. Srraa ot SfcHOOia. —A letter waa received from the Colonial Seci*etary to rhe effect that a repv3Bcntar.ion had been received from. FTami(ton, to the effect that the Board would not grant money fr,- erecting a, school on lauds which, although reserved for school purposes, were at.ill vested in . the Crown.—Thft President: eicpLuned thafc the reason appeared to be that the Board would not grant the money unless there was some security that the school would come un !er the inspection of the Board. If money were granted for the purpose intended the building might remain, but the committee raiglifc go, the money mi%ht be lost, there being no seevrrittyin the building.—Dr. Nicholson would obj'ct. bo any advance for the erection of schools on land which was not conveyed, either to a Local committee under the Act, or to the Board, or fhe Superintendent^ aa trus tee for the Board. Board adjourned to Tuesday at 10.30 a.m.
