would they think of such injustice ? Yet that illustrated the character and the effect of'the Property Tax, The unearned incre ment oi laud—that increased value" which was given it by the expenditure of public money—ought to be heavily taxed in order to yield back a portion of that which public money was giving it. The unearned incre ment rightly belonged to the people. They would be deservedly punished if they did not strive for this end. TllK LAND QUESTION. This is, Sir George went on to say, a very curious subject when you come to con sider it. I will just pu. it iv another way. Think of the cnoi mous tracts of land that are being taken up -the Patcterc block, for iustauce. What is the meaning of it? It menus poverty in a very short period of time, and it means a breach of every natural law—every provision which the Creator has made for his creatures. For example, I think you will all agree with me in this : that every baby born into the world has a right to live. If you do not admit that, you encourage infanticide. I say that no child bom into the world cau live unless there is ensured to it some of the elements necessary foe its existence. Unless the baby can have air and water and land you take from it that which God provided for it when it came upon the face of the earth. (Cheers.) To Bay that the child is to have no natural right in the land is to say "throw it into the sea and drown it; it does not belong to the dry land of the earth." I think that is really a self-evident truth, and I think, following it out one degree further, that we must admit this: that past generations had no light to .ay that " We will so apportion the earth among a lew people that no one else hereafter shall have a right to it except by the will of the occupants." When a man is born into the world he has a right to a share of the earth for his days, and one generation should not be allowed to make lows binding it up from the gencr_.tioii6 which follow aud time shutting out hope from the hearts of millions of the people. Those men who have not the courage in the present day to avow a doctrine of that kind are traitors to their race. I say that the men who deliberately allow, in the n njustmanner hitherto done.immeiißebHcks of land to be picked up by a few indivi duals, nre providing misery for the people who arc to follow them. They are delibera tely laying down as a rule that New Zea lond is to be in the possession of a few persons richer even than those great fami lies which dominate England—because they get gtcatcr areas of land - and that the rest shall bo sunk iv poverty and wretched ness. Now let me—l do not like to represent to you all that I feel on this subject — but let me shew you what is the present state of things in England. Let me read you a very few line 3 from a late Edinburgh "Keview"—a "Review' of last July-describing the position of the agricultural labourers in Great Britain. Now, this is what the writer fays : " The labourer's life is a hard one; but" tho hardships are not without their compensations, and for long it appeared to have taught bin. content, or, at least to have been softened by acquiescence." Now this is prettily written, but let me just read to you what was the labourer's life written of, and to show you how it was softened by acquiescence— a dull, silent, submission—a cold acquiescence-a submission without rost because without hope in hia Maker, probably doubting whether there was a Creator aud a Gover nor of a world in which he could be coudemned to such hardships without any fault of his own. (Loud cheers.) This great writer goes on to say:—"He (the labourer) had been amongst employers who knew him from bis boyhood, as they knew his father before him ;he had lived, as the Scotch say, amongst Kent folk, "who helped him through sickness and temporary difficulties." What does that mean ? Ie meaus that the poor, wretched serf was only subjected to what bis father had undergone before him, and that there was no hope of liberation—that in times of sick ness and temporary difficulties he did not like a man, iely upon his own resources, and upon what he could save, but that like a suppliant he was depen dent upon the mercy of others, who helped—and God reward them for it—but I say thatwhilehelping'him with onehand they robbed him with the other. (Cheers). The wiiter proceeds :—" It is true that he (the labourer) had to rise long before light in the bitter winter mornings, he had to huddle on his damp clothes in the dark, and drag on the stiff boots which were still as wet as when he drew them off, probably, instead of fortifying himself against the cold with a comfortable mug of warm tea, he snatched a hasty meal of bread and cheese, washing it down with a glass of water or small beer. He might have to attend to the cattle in a chilling dtip of rain, sinking over his ankles in the mud and filth of the stockyard, or face the sleet and tho piercing wind as he toiled behind the plough through the yield ing clay. ,He might have to werk in the ditches through the winter day, standing up to his knees in icy-water. We should have thought that he was liable to lay up-'rheu matics' for his old age, but it seems to be Mr Jeffries' opinion that the constant exposure aud (benching, hardened rather than hurt him;: It was of that solid labouring staff that the most enduring soldiers were made." Now this is written gravely in a great work. I ask could a more horrid picture be drawn. Now remember for that labourer in his old age there was the Union Workhouse supported by charity, aud his children without any hope upon earth. Was such writing ever read? If that kind of education is relied upon to harden people, why not, like the Spartans, make it a law that all shall be subjected to it? Why not make all feed upon black broth? If it is good for the labourer is it not good for the rich and powerful. Having suffered from the indulgence of their ancestors through centuries, do you not think they are in want of hardening as much as the labourer? (Laughter and cheers.) And then we are told that of this enduring stuff our soldiers are made; the soldiers who have fought so valiantly for their country, and bravely encountered nameless horrors on its behalf. It is true that it was those men who performed the brave deeds that have immortalised our arms, but how many chances of promotion were presented them, how often did the soldier become a general, or was he allowed to retire after long service upon an adequate pension ? No, he was allowed to drag out his old age upon 6d or 9d a day. (loud _hcerp.) This is the result of the present, state of things in England, and shall I not, at your request, therefore labour and en courage others in labouring to prevent such a system from being eitablished iv New Zealand to the detriment of your deacen dants. (Cheers.) If that is your desire, let us determine not to have such a.'system, i Let us say this : that we shall never be tired i of mentioning these things nor refrain from makig the world ring with our voices until justice is done us. (Loud cheers;) Well now follow on. Let us go on a degree further in this. Now, let us Bee what is to overtake you. What is the remedy? It appears that discontent has arisen amongst the labouring population at home-amongst the' agricultural labourers. lam proud that I can stand here to-night and say this : That 12 or 13 years ago in England I, in conjunction with John Stuart Mill and others, began to fight this question. ..We went through England holding and address ing meetings in support of it We were few in number who undertook this task, but the meetings were enormous ones. They were held at Liverpool, at Manchester, at Derby, at Birmingham, and Rochdale, and (imilar largo centres. Little enough •were the effects .which then seemed to be produced, but now the whole world is ring ing with the cry that the land question shall be settled. (Cheers.) And I say that iv the same way we will have meetings m Auckland and other parts of New Zealand, and that New Zealand shall resound that cry until justice is obtained here. ISow the writer from whom I have quoted goes on to point out that discontent prevails in Lng laud, and he shows that the cause ot it is " the growth of agitation, and the forma tion of leagues." Rings are good, but leagues are not good. (Laughter.) Join rings and these people will not write against yon, but join leagues in order to get your rights and you will be called scoundrels. .Cheers.) Well, this writer says that these things, "even the universal diffusion of education enforced by Statute .and school inspectors are all sources of anxiety or signs of impending trouble." Why, it is this education which made that man and this man awake to a sense of their wrongs-it is education which makesyoungmensee means of redressing their grievances. (Cneers.) It is education which has increased their fortitude to bear their sufferings now in the hope of speedy relief, and to deprive us oi education would be to blindfold our eyes again. (Kenewed cheers.) But the writei says that these causes, including education, " all tend to dissipate those popular notions of rural felicity which -O/merly were more or less true to nature.' Good God !dc they call that rural felicity in which people drag out such a miserable existence as ha which has been described to you? Istha He rural felicity which is tme to nature .Laughter.) I say it is against nature ugauTt the laws of God-against the natura law-again-t everything which man ough to hold in reverence and esteem. Ito writer adds, that these things, that is education and leagues and agitation "throw obstacles iv the way of profitabl, farming, and they aggravate the 'ncieasin embarrassments of the landlord. It

farming that we want is the farmiilg of the people for themselves-the farming which alone will do away with suffering, and for which the people therefore ought to work;

INCOME TAX.

Sir George Grey then went on to show that one means of attaining this cud would be the abolition of the Propetty Tax aud its replacement by a Land or au Income Tax. He also inveighed against the injustice of people who resided in England and derived their revenues from this country—who held its bonds and stock-being allowed to wholly escape any contribution to the public funds while he and others like him who derived money from England had to pay the English Income Tax. It was only right that they should be so made to pay, aud it waa manifestly wrong that people in England similarly situated with regard to this colony should be altogether untaxed. Tho Income Tax was fair, and yet when ho proposed to tax the absentee capitalist who proiitted at our expense, the Premier had actually got up in the House and thauked God that he " was not such a man as I was." (Cheers.)

EDUCATION.

After advising the people to insist upon the uuearned increment being taxed, as in that way funds would bo amply forthcom ing for nearly all the requirements of tho country, Sir George Grey passed on to show that it would also, by providing money for education, ensure the integrity of the pre sent system. He was certain that efforts "were made last session to destroy this system of education, by compelling people to pay a specified pro portion of the cost vi their children's tuition and by compelling them not to send the children until they had attaiucd a certain age. He was satisfied that this educational system was oue of the first things which it would be sought to destroy. If, however, a tax were put upon the unearned incre ment ample funds would be .available, not only tor providing an adequate education tor "our children, but for conferring other great advantages upon the people, such as the establishment of tree libraries in every town, the provision of additional comforts for the sick, for the lunatics, for every class ot tho population that might be in distress. Sir George proceeded to demon strate the need which existed in new coun tries for a protective tariff, and illus trated hisSargument by citing the case of Eugland.

FEDERATION,

He then went on : " Time Hies very rapidly, and I must soon conclude. I will, {J however, just mention one or two points more which will be of interest to you. In the first place I am anxious to propose a . new plan for drawing attention, if neces- . Biiry, to the wrongs under which 1 believe q you suffer. It has not been propounded £ before, and I desire that it shall be first [ made known in Auckland amongst a people with whom and iv a place where 1 have _ passed so much of my time. You will bo able to think it over and see whether it is wise or not. Well, now I believe the time ' has come that, in poiut of fact, B the Empire might be federated. At present we colonists are what I call , "dumb dogs." We have no members iv i the British Parliament -no colonists, who t are Peers, to represent our interests in tbc ■ House of Peers. Our wishes are unheard jj and unknown there. Everybody says, t "Federate the Empire," but how is it to be f done? We have great weight if we please ■ to use it, and we cau exercise great iuflu- '_ ence iv Great Britain if we please to do so. The woi Id hus.altered. The cable has come j. into operation, and we can send a message to London without difficulty in a tew hours and get an answer back in a few hours. _ The plan, therefore, that I have to propose is this. Looking at the whole Empire, I say that our welfare absolutejy depends upon the welfare of groat Britain and of Ireland (cheers). It is impossible that the people there can suffer without our j suffering too. If they raise their populations in ignorance, they flock out here and we have ignorant people thrown iv therefore amongst us. If they reduce them _, in size and strength through poverty and _; often from famine we shall get an inferior .. race of people amongst us too. Nothing j. can affect that great country which will not _ affect us as well. Her weal contributes our happiness—her woe afllicts us with suffer- __ ing in some way. Well, we have a House v of Representatives here. I wish it were one which truly represented you—which _j represented you in proportion to your popu- - lation. They can exert influence by pass ing resolutions Anything it dislikes in „ what Great Britaiu is about to do our House can pass resolutions about, and anything that the Imperial Parliament ' dislikes in what wo arc about to do, it ° can pass resolutions about. We can ° signify our approval or disapproval of a everything that takes place. If we decided \ to'pass a resolution aud send it to England, l it would be read out in the Hon .c of Com- ■ mous, and would be better than having one c or two members there. It would be heard "j and spoken of throughout the Empire. J If we set such au example every v Colony will follow it. It is possible that a I small majority in England may force I through a measure detrimental to the k Empire, and in that case we could, with * advantage, pass resolutions, and their effect in England would be enormous. We \ ought to taKe our fair share in guiding the \ destinies cf the Empire. Therefore 1 ' intend to try it this session -to propose a A resolution upon some great question of the c kind. If such a resolution is carried and ' sent Home a step will be taken which can never be retraced in the Empire's forward r march—a point will be achieved of the " utmost importance. It is quite possible that struggling populations may bo animated, J consoled, and comforted by something of j the kind, and it is quite possible that it ' would prevent outrages and violence—that ■ whilst for tho condition of the authors of j these outrages and this violence we had { sympathy, we could press and implore them J to have recourse to other meaus—and our *■ influence might have the greatest ' possible effect .in preventing the » disasters which might otherwise take place. ' The advantage which would accrue to every > one of us in consequence would be gi cat and < our representatives besides would be trained i to consider questions with which they do j not now occupy themselves. I believe that ' we should at once take our placs in the Empire the place to which we are } ■entitled and in which we might ■ render great services to humanity at > large. I have pointed out to you the bad ' form of Government which has been im- ' posed upon us—some of its many defects - ' and I am sure that the people of England ' cannot credit the fact that you are sub- ' jected to such a system—that you have sub- ' mitted to a great change and abandoned a constitution of such promise. But if once ' a resolution of the House of ReprcicnU tives called attention to this point then every statesman—no matter what party he belonged .to—would insist upon justice being done us. It might be said "If you think that why not get up a petition from the people of New Zealand to request the House of Commons to enforce its prayer ? to which I reply " That the inhabitants of New Zealand are men and will right them selves, and will not go as suppliants to a Legislature outside their own colony." .THE CHLHESK QU-STION. Passing from the question of federation, Sir George said, in reply to a reminder from the stalls, that he had spoken upon the sub ject of Chinese immigration repeatedly, He had drawn up a minute on the subject, which was printed in "Hansard," and he still thought as be had ever thought, that in introducing Chinese labour, the colony would be taking a downward step. We had a glorious destiny before us now, but our destiny would be one full of misfortune if we allowed hordes of semi-barbarians to come in amongst us. If we permitted such an immigration we would not be doing our duty, either to ourselves or to .those who were to come after us. By degrees wages must fall, and social comfort must become less general, and if the Chinese were to come in freely to the colony we would be hastened into a, state of misery. He was making himself dis agreeable to those in power by the enuncia tion of these opinions, but juat as the 1 keeper of a menagerie was accustomed to poke up his lions, so he would continue to poke up those who were clothed with res ponsibility and who were, indifferent to their duties, growl as they might. THK KOYAL PRINCES. There was one matter more to which he would draw attention. '. It was intended that the sons of | the Prince of Wales who were now voyas; ---| ing in these seas should visit New Zealand. • The port of call would doubtless be Wel lington, and unless timely measures were : taken, no other port of the colony would be j touched at. Now the good effects of such . a visit would be exerted most powerfully upon the native population by deepen -1 ing their loyalty to the Crown; but .as the bulk of the natives resided in this . province, the desired effect would not be i felt unless the Princes called here. Besides t there was also to be considered the in t fluence upon the loyalty and affection of the i European population. That consideration 1 was not to be by any meaus undcr -1 rated. . The sight of their future t Kin" would touch the sympathies a of "the people, and strengthen their devotion to the Throne. He therefore sug gested that the Mayors of this city and the c other neighbouring towns should lose no _ time in communicating with the Governor c in order that he might move tho Home

authorities to include Auckland in the round of visitation. Sir George Grey concluded by thanking his audience for the patient and respectful hearing which had been accorded him. He resumed his seat amidst loud and deafening cheers and other marks of enthusiasm.- When tho cheering had somewhat sub. sided, Mr S. Luke came forward. He said he had much pleasure in moving the follow ing resolution :-" That this meeting ac cords its thanks to Sir Georgo Grey for the able and statesmanlike address which he has just delivered, aud that it expresses uuabated confidence iv him as a loader of the people." (Cheers.) He was sure that the resolution which he had just read was not one of mere empty form of compliment to Sir George Grey nut that it was the feeling aud expression of opinion of every man assembled in the building towards Sir Ceo. Grey. The thanks of everyone in the north ern portion of the colony were due to him. Thoi-hnd existed upoliticaldcath, causedby Major Atkinson and his colleagus, until Sir George Grey came forward as the repre sentative of the people. He hoped that none would bo deceived. There were two parties iv New Zealand, and they were Liberal and Conservative. The present Liberal Government was essentially a Tory one. He trusted that Sir George Grey would long continue to have health and strength. He was the only man who could lead the Liberal party iv New Zealand. (Cheers.) Mr Frank Lawry had much pleasure in seconding the resolution just read. They required no arguments to pass the motion, aud he felt sure it would be unanimously carried simply because it was meritorious-. He was confident that it would be carried with enthusiasm. r~o better evidence of the feeling of the people towards Sir George Grey could be afforded than the splendid reception he bad receircd that evening. Ho had never exchanged live words with Sir George in his life, but he was the instructor of all the political kuowledge that he posses sed. In saying that, he was only uttering tho opinions of thousands of others. It was impossible to listen to and read the speeches of Sir George Giey without obtaining bene ficial lessous from them, and it was impos sible to read the records of tho country without tho conviction being forced upon them that Sir George Grey was the only statesman in tho colony who had the coinage to go in for political refoim. Every Liberal measure owed its creation to Sir Georgo Grey. When he came forth from his retirement at the request of the people, political adventurers snuffed the battle afar, and referred to the personal aggrandizements which he was to receive. But no case of corruption had ever been brought against him, althouch lying innuoudoß had been plentiful enough. Sir George Grey's powerful voice had ox posed corruption, and he hoped it would long be he.u'd in the cause of the people. At this stage, the interruptions, which had been frequent, culminated iv a scene of uproar. Cries of "Garrard," "cheese it," and " go on," were mingled with hisses and groans. When the voice of the speaker again be came audible, he was referring to the Hiucmoa. Never, he said, had a vessel boon applied to a more legitimate purpose than that to which Sir Georgo Grey put the Hinemoa. If he were in office again to-morrow, and came before then alid told tbeu that he used the Hinemoa for the sumo purposes as she had been applied during his term of office, and asked their opinions ou the mattor, they would not only say that he was justified, but that ho was conferring an cuestimablo favour upon them by so doing. Cries of " Garrard, Garrard," again rang through the building,and the unemployed advocSe was discovered (in a lofty porch near to the stage waving hia hand affectio nately to the audience. Tbc interruptions contiuued,and the voice of the speaker could not be hoard. Amidst an immense uproar, Mr Garrard mounted the stage, and advan cing to where Sir George was seated made a profouud salaam to him. Garrard then whispered something to Sir George, but the latter apparently could not understand what was said. The '' Advocate " therefore repeated it, amidst a storm of hooting, hissing, aud shrieks of laughter. Tho scene at this point was almost indescribable. The Chairman asked for a hcariug for Mr Lawry, but. the audieuce could not be pre vailed upon to grant it. Mr Lawry then retired, and the Chairman succeeded in inducing Mr Garrard to sit down.

The resolution was read over to the meeting.

Mr Coleman asked leave to say a word before it was put. Although he might differ from the opinions held by the majority of those present, yet Ire trusted thoy would allow him to speak his mind. There was no doubt that in tbe Government of Mew Zealand a groat mauy abuses cxistoil, aud they were obliged to Sit George Grey or any other person for brineing them under notice, with a view to having them rectified. But they were a practical working commu nity, and therefore when the abuses were pointed out they should be shown some practical way of removing them. Something had been said in refer ence to the Imperial Parliament. Now, as a colonist, he thought they had enough to do to mind their own,affairs iv New Zealand, without troubling themselves in regard to the English Parliament. It was incumbent on the Liberal Party or any one who came before them to show that these abuses existed, to iudicate how they were to be remedied. So far, no practical rcmedv had been shown to them. (A voice —" It'has.") He did not iuteud to dispute the matter with them, but he trusted they would allow him a hearing. He was sorry that at the last meeting in that building which he had attended, a gentle man who held opinions opposed to those of the great majority oE the audience was, (probably through a mistake) not allowed to speak. He hoped that if, as assente'l, Sir George Grey had educated them iv Liberal principles, they would allow him a fair hearing with reasonable limits. As Englishmen, he did not think that they required that education, for their own sense of fair play would surely induce them to grant a fair hearing to a fellow citizen, provided that they were not detained too long. The last speaker bad said that Sir George Grey did not tell them anything new, but he did not agree with him there. There was one .tatement which to hira at least was novel, and on that point he wanted more information. They were told that in the beginning, New Zealand pos sessed a constitution which was the envy of the other British dependencies, and that now they had the worst constitution of all the British colonies, (a voice—"you are dull of comprehension)." Between the time the constitution was granted, therefore, it must have been very grossly subverted. Now, he asked them to tell him when, where, and how was this Bubv«r»ion accom plished. They had been told that they were now under a system of serfdom, but where were thsir representatives when this subdivision of the constitution took place ? Where was Sir George Grey 1 (Mr Bell: Sir George Grey was not there, and tho members were under the table tisleep.) (Hisses and cries oE "order" continued for a short time, but eventually order was restored aufliciently to enable the speaker to resume,) ' It would be interesting to him to know where was this subversion. He knew of no alteration in the conetitutfon, except on the point of the abolition of tbe provincial institutions and the substi tution of tbe Counties System. There had been no substantial alterations in the con stitution, and it would be ea.y to prove that. It was true that one gentleman had been raised to the Upper House, but that could have been done in the beginning. He saw no wrong in a man resigning his seat in the Upper House and standing for a con stituency. (A voice—"There is a great dealot wrong.") He did not care. The audience could have It their own way it they liked. (Another interruption here oc curred, and loud calls for " Garrard " were made.) The agitator gracefully elevated his hand, smiling sweetly the while, and the tumult was quelled.) The speaker continued amidst slight interruptions. The Counties System was mainly to enable rates to be raised and expended in the districts. They elected their own representatives to spend the rate 3, and what serfdom was there about that? *He would conclude by asking the Liberal party so-called to show better means of governing the colony. It had been proved that they had not yet done so. The speaker resumed his seat amidst hisses and cheer j.

Great uproar followed, and in response to cries of "Garrard," tho unemployed advo cate advanced to tbc front of the stage. He commenced —" With regard to what the honorable gentleman," but he did not proceed much further. A perfect storm of yells, hisses, and applause, drowned his voice, and he waa eventually compelled to retire. Cries of " Tole " and "Dr. Wallis" were made, but neither came forward.

The motion was agaiu read, aud on being put to the meeting was carried nem con. Three cheers was given for Sir George Grey when the result was announced.

Garrard, who had remained standing all this time, again advanced to where Sir George Grey was sitting, and endeavoured to obtain a bearing, His voice could not be heard, however, amidst the uproar, and eventually he was led to a back Beat by Mr Shcra. Sir George Grey came forward to reply amidst tumultuous applause. He was ex

cccdingly obliged to them for the compli ment they had bestowed oh him. He might simply say that he hardly thought it necousary to reply to the remarks made. [A voice: No, no] He had explained fully his views. Those who had swept away one of the freest constitutions ever possessed by any British possession, and substituted for it the counties system by which oue man could have 45 votes, aud anoth.r only five votes, were auswarable. He would feel degraded that he had only oue vote in a county, while another man who huduncnoiraoußcxpeuditurcofpublicmoney on his laud, for which be had originally ouly paid a small sum, should have 45 votes, aud auy person who did not think that a degtedatiou he could have no sympathy with. He would regret to sco his family placed sn such a degrading position, whilo others woro placed abovo them. He had done his best to point out what was required, but the only hope of nltcridg the present state ot affairs was to elect mcv lo represent them, who would insist on a change. He believed every colony should have the power given each .state in the United Stateß to choose its [own constitution or 'alter it. When Victoiia applied for this power, they were told that no British statesman would sanction it. But every British statesman ought to sanction it, and every colony ought to be allowed to choose its own con stitution. Why for years should they have to light against a nominated Legislative Council as to whether they should be abolished or not ? They should have the right to name a committee to draw up a constitution for them, and submit it to the people, and it would thou be for the people to say whether they would accept it and be governed by it or not. It was a mistako or. the part ol the isritish statesman not to give this right. It was a mistake of the British statesman not to give this right. They no doubt wished the colony well when thoy gave it ii constitution, why not now lot them choose one of their own. That those now in power should givy way without a great struggle, was not to be hoped for. He might not live to see it, but young men would arise to carry on the itruggle, and to noblo spirits of that kiud he looked. Ho had no doubt that they were present that evening, and ho wished that ho had the eye of a prophet, in order that he might look round and discern who they were- He prayed God to prosper them in the noblo work, and to give, New Zealand such a constitution as would make it a prosperous and groat nation, (Prolonged cheering.) A vote of thanks was then passed by ac clamation to the Chairman on tho motion ot Sir George Grey, and the meeting ter minated.

GRAMMAR SCHOOL GOVER NORS.

Till! Board of uovcrnors oi the Auckland College and Grammar School met this morning. There were present: -Sir G. M. O'Borkc (in tho chair), His Worship tho Mayor (J. M. Clark, Esq.), Messrs F. D. Fenton and T. Peacock, aud Colonel Huul taiu.

EVENING C~ass~s.— Mr Crokcr applied for admission of his sou, the holder of a certificate of proficiency, to tho Grammar School Evening Classes.—Grunted. FENCING,—The tender ot Mr McLean for foucing the school was accepted.

iNsrsoTOit of School —Letter from the Educatiou Department, intimating that the Inspector would visit the school duriug the present mouth.—Kccoivcd. Diversion of koad. —Letter from City Council in reply to the communication from Board re diversion of road.—On tho motion of Mr Fenton it was agreed "That the Board will concur in any steps tho Council may think necessary to usauro the posession of the piece of laud in Symouds-strect, if required for a diversion of the rond, ou condition that the Board incur no expense.

New Grammar fc'onoo_.-Mr Clark moved : "That a letter be sent to the Hon. the Miuister of Education, setting forth that it is desirable that a boarding-house for pupils be built contiguous to the school; that the Board is prepared from the fuuds at its disposal to build such hoarding-house ; that there is not aullicient playground attached to or near the school. The present suto is therefore unsuitable for a boarding establishment; and further, that reference be made to the groa: necessity for providing a building for the Auckland Girl's High School, and suggesting that the College and Grammar School buildings be taken over by the Government for the Girls' High School, for which pur pose they arc admirably suited, and that tho Government provide auother site for tho Grammar School and pay to tho Board tho cost of tho present buildings, thus placing the Board in the position of erect ing complete building.. Mr Clark said ho thought thoy were doubtless all agreed that they might iiavc secured the vacant site at the rear of Government House. Popular feeling would be hostile to their taking a portiou of the Domain. The Chairman said he had moved iv the House that the paddock specified be set apart for the purpose, but not a member would second it. He thought it would be better to prepare a bill for taking a part of the Domain as a site.

Mr Peacock said that the statistics pre pared chowed that the majority of the boys attending the school came from the western side of the Domain.

Mr Clark eaid thoy must consider first whother it was desirable to move at all. If so agreed, then they might discuss three probable sites—one at Domain, another at Surroy Hills, and a third on the line of the Onehunga railway. He was strongly in favour of Park Road or Carlton Road. There were various lots suitable if they could be got at tbe price. Then there was the Domain. Mr Fenton stated No. 1 lot could be ob tained. Mr Clark said the Grafton Road people were now agitating for the bridge from Kaiangahape and Symonds -street across the gully. This would greatly shorten the distance. Then again, tram-cars would soon be running from Ponsonby to New market. Mi' Peacock suggested a piece of ground at the junction ofKyber Pass and Grafton h'oad. Mr Peacock thought it was too far from the Domain to allow the boys to make it their play-ground. ' Mr Clark »aw no harm in passing the resolution of which he had given notice, and communicating with tbe Government. But more force would be imparted to their communication if they could indicate the piece of land which they required as a Bite. Mr Peacock thought their strong point would be iv getting a site for boarding pur poses, in order to make the school moro ] efficient. Colonel Haultain oonsidered that they \ might pass the resolution, and confer with the Domain Board in ordor to get the co-operation of that body iv endeavouring to obtain a portion of the Domain for.the site. Mr Clark's motion was then put and agreed to unanimously. CONFERENCE. Colonel Haultain moved that the Chair man, Messrs Clark and -Peacock be a Committee to confer with the Domain Board, in order to obtain their sanction and co-opeiation in obtaining the Domain site. The motion was carried. It was understood that no further steps be taken in preparing the bill till the reply of tho Domain Board be received. PONSONBY HALL. Mr Fenton moved that application be made to the Government for the Ponsonby Hall a. an endowment for Grammar school purposes. Ho thought thoy should localise as far as possible their junior scholars. They might place one of tho junior roasters in the Ponsonby Hall. He would be quite as useful there as else where. Mr Peacock doubted if the locali-ation of . tho junior classes would tend to the efficiency of the school. But it would be ■ desirable to obtain the endowment, and be would therefore be disposed to vote for tho l motion. On the other question he was not ! ■ prepared to give a decided opinion. Colonel Haultain was in favour of the , motion. He would not only like to see these subsidiary schools at Ponsonby, but . also at Onehunga, and some other central t place. , Mr Clark also supported the resolution, I but he was not so certain aa_ the last speaker regarding the desirability ol ', ' extending branch schools. He thought t the ground might be better utilised under c r modification of tbe District High Bchoo: clauses, these schools to be under the School Committees. But if the Act wen g not thus altered, he would be in favour o . the change proposed. y Mr Fenton did not wish the Board ti pledge itself to any principle regarding tin [1 localization of schools. r The Chairman said the change wouh o enable small boys from distant parts t ,c commence their school training at a muc! d earlier age than at present. He was strongl ir in favour of the establishment of this branc I school at Ponsohby. [ y The motion was put aud unanimou.l £. | agreed to.

The Headmaster Seeks a Re hearing.

The Headmaster (Mr Macrae), wrote acknowledging receipt of the letter in timating the termination of his engagement at the end of six months. He then proceeds to ask the Board to hold another inquiry into the management of the school durin? his Hcadmustersbip, urging the following reasons for such a course : (1) That, he denied that much time had been wasted in the upper classes by him, and that the evidence did not warrant this charge. (2.) That the resolution of the Board relative to tho waut of accord with other masters was uot warranted because the two junior masters of the lower school had stated in evidence that their want of accord with him was due to his supposed unjust treatment of them, and not of any difference of opinion a. to organisation ; that previous to the in quiry the only occasion on which he had heard any of the staff express disapproval of the organisation of tho school was when the late English muster stated his views on the subject at a meeting of tho Board in Jauunry of last year ; that the two senior masters then cordially approved of the classification, and the mathematical master repeated his expression of approval on the first occueion of his giving evidence at the late inquiry ; that the Board had not been id a pouition to discover what weight should be attached to the opinions of the late English master, " a comparatively unknown and untried man here on any subject connoted with the management of schools." (3) That no reason had been shewn for his (the Headmaster's) dismissal, and therefore he was treated with injustice. He concluded by stating that he had been appointed to the High School by live well-known gentle men connected with higher education in Scotland, and that his appointment to the Grammar School was not of his own seek ing. He further maintained that he had -erred tbc Board "not wisely, but too well," so far us his own interests were concerned; that there were abundant proofs of the success of his management; and that " tho comparative poverty of the results during the last two yours is to be attributed, not to want of attention or of competency on my part, but to other causes which an exhaustive inquiry would doubt less bring lo light." Mr Peacock said he bad previously pointed out that the Head Master s previous letter had never been replied to. The Chairman thought they could not shut their eyes to the fact that when sitting in tho Grummor School building, and when the Purchas charges had partially broken down, they could not refuse Mr Macrae's request for a general investigation. Had it not been for that request, the charges would probably have fallen through. Mr Fonton said if they had made a mis take of omission they should certainly repair it, but they could uot go into the general question again. Mr Peacock believed that if the Board was satisfied that the investigation made win quite as cenernl as (ho one asked for by Mr Macrae, they should at least state to the Ucad-maßtcr in reply to his letter, that they Baw no reason for further investiga tion. It wua sta'od that the Socretary had written iv reply to Mr Macrae's letter, that it was held over for further consideration. Mr Fenton thought thoy should certainly repair any breach of courtesy if such had bceu committed.

The chairman (failed to see the want of courtesy. If the Head Master had <twaited the result of the Purchas charges, and liuding them adverse to him, |had applied to the Board for a general invesligaliod, , then they might have bcea expected to ; make it. But hardly had the changes been , made before Mr Macrae applied for a general investigation. Did any man in his sober senses think tbey would hold another iuvesttgation for tho purpose of going over tho ground they have already traversed. ] Mr Peacock contended that at the begin- ] ning the investigation was confined to the ' Purchas charges, but ho admitted that J eventually it drift into a general invest.- , ligation, j Messrs Huultaiu and Clark, whllo not agreeing with theresolutihusof the Board J ou the .subject, were opposed to the re-open- , ing of the subject. t_ventually it was unanimously agreed, on the motion ot Mr Fenton, " lhat ihu Head- , master's letter of February bo ackuow- { ledged, aud that he bo informed J that the points adverted to in his letter had j not escaped notice and consideration; that the ,'oard considers further investigation uuiieceisaiy, inasmuch as the wide range which tho enquiry took is , equivalent to the enquiry requested by^him , aud renewed in his letter of May l.tli. j I'ltlZES. , On the motion of the Chairman, £20 was vutcd for tlic purchase of prizes to be pro- : edited at the December Examination, aud ' £'20 for the purchase of works of reference j and other books to bo added to the school i library, the volumes to be selected by the , Prize Committee. Mr Foutou's name was , added to this Committee. PLANTING TREES, It was agreed on the motion of the Chair man that tho Domain Board should be re quested to plant trees and ornamental ! shrubs in the school ground. The meeting then terminated.
