The annual meeting of householders, con vened in accordance with the Education Act, for the purpose of electing a School Committee for the ensuing year, took place last night in the Wellesley street school room, Mr P. A. Philips presiding Mr Owen Mahon (the Secretary) submitted the report of the outgoing committee, from which it appeared that the number o£ pupils ou the rolls of the city schools at the eidof the last quarter was 2,235, will-an average attendance of 1,950, while the number for the corresponding quarter of 1881 was 2,402, with an average attendance oi 2.013, the decrease being partly accounted for by the closing of the flowe-street Industrial school on June 30ih. Many applications for admission to the Wellesley street, Nelson-street, and Eeresford-street schools had to be refused in consequence of tue in.ulßcieacy of accommodation, and for this reason the Committee had not been able to continue euforciug the compulsory clauses of the Act. The'urgewf- of the want of further accommodation ___.d been repeatedly placed beiore the Board, but all that had been done was to put the estimates for ad ditions t> the t> elson-street school on the list ot requirement?, The balance-sheet shewed an income ot £341 6s lOd, and an expeaditure ot £335 Is 6d for the yeir. The Committee also pointed out that the Board had taken no action tor the appoint ment of a caretaker to each school, as suggested, and they further explained the dispute in connection with the with drawal of a room in WeUesley-street school fur the purposes of the Training College.—Mr A. M. Williams moved the adoption of the iep»rt, and in doing so cen-urcd the practice of removing assistant teachers,—Mr Rafton seconded the motion. —It was thereupon farther agreed, " That this meeting desires to express its opinion that the frequent .removal of teachers is injurious to tho best interests of the child ren," and on the motion of Mr Campbell, teconded by Mr Knight, it was resolved, " That .the iacoming committee be tecom mended to request the Board to mnkt provision for the training collegt by hiring a building in preferenco t( occupying the WeUesley-street school "- Messrs Bramo and Ryan complained thai children from a distance crowded out thi children of the district frsm the Well-sley stteet Schorl. It was stated that then were about 1,500 children in the city nnabli to get admission to the schools, »s all thi schools were filled.-Mr W. Swanson, M Hannafotd, and otheis, spoke strongly it favour of the children of the city ha»in_ the preference over children outside thi district in obtaining admission to thi schools.—On the motion of Mr Brsme, i vote of thanks was passed to the out-goin_ committee for thsir effort in promoting thi education of poor and neglected city child ren.— The ballot for the election of a Scnoo Committee resulted as follows:—Campbell 51; Aley, 43; War burton, 41 ; Brame 37 ; Thwaitf s, 29 ; Carr, 28; Ryan, 23 Rafton, 14 j and Knight, 20.

The total expenditure was £108 7s lid, leaving a bal.nce on hand of £9 3s, and all current accounts to date paid up. in May, the head teacher reported tho number of children in attendance was 561, snowing the staff of teachers to be very deficient, whereupon the com mittee urged the Board to supply tbe want, and in reply the Board promised to attend to this important matter, and have made several change?. The committee an« ticipates that at the opening of the school, the staff of teachers will be »ati.factorily filled up. In October, the Hon. Mr Stvanson presented the school with two maps (North and South Islands ot New Zealand), which grffc the committee suitably acknowledged. In November, the com mittee finding the funds at its di.posal in sufficient to cairy on the various works applied for and obtained from the Board an increase of £.0 per annum, nuking the amount of grant now at the rate of £80 per annum.—Messrs . Board mau, Thorne, and Gittos, the crs todians of a certain sum of money de posited in Savings Bank, have out of that sum purchased and forwarded to the school a large number of illustrative and instruc tive diagrams of natural hi-tory, which tbe head teacher will have hung on the school room walls for reference. The committee has urged upon the Board the advisa bility of securing sites for public schools m the Stnrey Hills Estate, near Ponsonby, Richmond Koad, and Home Bay, before it is all tsken up for private pur poies in these rapidly-growing districts. The statement ot accounts shewed—Re ceipts : Balance in bank, £37105; ordinary grant, £60; special grant, £20. Total, £117 10s lid.

Lusher, 7. Messrs Devore, Boardman, Bees, Co.per, Dutton. Evsns, and Allen were therefore elected. This concluded the business. In proposing the vote ef thanks to the out going committee, Mr Laing drew attention to the fact that we would shortly hare a University in Auckland, and he consequently hoped that the. com mittee would render any asststaioe to turne of the chi'dren of the poorer clauses who showed a likelihood of making their mark in. the world.—Mr Boardman said the Committee would be only too happy to further the suggestion of the last speaker. Votes of thanks were pasted to tde out going committee, to the chairman, and to Mr Bailey, head teacher, —' *> '..-
