BOARD OF EDUCATION.

[FRIDAY CONCLUDED.]

Beresford-street ScnooL.->-Mr Boler was appointed temporarily as second as sistant of the Beresford-street School, in terms of the Committee's recommend ation.

Teachers of Singing.—Mr Goldie moved, " That a return be prepared and submitted to the Board as early as possible showing—(l) the number of classes and schools that each singing-master is at pre sent required to visit and instruct; (2) the time devoted by each teacher to eacli class; (3) what is the relative salary in each case; (4) what has been the result of each teacher's work as shown by the last examinations."—Agreed to. —A lengthy letter from Mr Cranwell was referred to the Secretary for his report. Defaulting Teachers. —Mr Goldie re marked that he occasionally noticed that one or other of their teachers figured in Court as a debtor, and an instance had just occurred wherein a teacher named Bruford had made an assignment of his estate for the benefit of his creditors. Now, their teachers were not required to teach reli gion, but they should bo expected to teach commercial morality by a good example. He therefore moved that an explanation should be obtained from Mr Bruford as to the circumstances under which he had been brought into a position necessitating an assignment of his estate. Teachers should be made to live within their incomes.—The Chairman endorsed Mr Goldio's remarks. Example was stronger than precept.—Mr Cooper mentioned that a suburban teacher was recently sued upon judgment sum mons, but that nothing could be got out of him.—The motion was then passed. An* Astute Youth.—The Chairman re ported that a youth who had paaeed the pupil teachers' examination very success fully had been seen during the examination with an open book on his knee bearing upon the subject that was set before him. Ho had boon questioned by the Inspector and j himself, and had frankly acknowledged his offence.—The Inspector therefore recom mended that he should be deemed to have ! failed in his examination.—Agreed to. Auckland City.—A letter was received from the City Schools Committee stating, with reference to Mr Rout's offer to give a right-of-way to the High-street School, that a statement was being prepared which would alter the Board's mind on the matter. The subject was therefore deferred, pending the receipt of the Committee's statement. —An application for a second grant of 35s towards the High-street School Library was referred to the Inspector. Henderson's Mill.—lt was resohred to have plans and specifications prepared for a teacher's house of six rooms at Henderson's Mill.

Mouot Eden.—lt was stated that, where as a school site had been purchased at Mount Eden for £1,100 on the express con dition that the Committee should raise iso towards the expense (£lO of which had been paid), the Committee had returned noanswer to three letters from the Board re the other £40.—The Secretary was instructed to write again asking a reply.—Mr Clark thought the site should be sold if the Com mitteo did not honourably fulfil its under taking. Paknell.—The Committee wrote express ing an opinion adverse to any change in the school age as tending; to call into existence numbers of private infant schools to which parents would send their children.—Mr Cooper gave notice of his intention to move at the next meeting of the Board: "That the resolution, dated the 13th July, 1883, approving of the Inspector's report in favour of making seven years the lowest limit of age for admission to school, be rescinded, and that a letter be sent to the Minister of Education informing him thereof, and that it is the opinion of this Board that not alteration in the Education Act should b« made in this respect."

The remaining business was unimportant.

CITY SCHOOLS COMMITTEE.

The usual fortnightly meeting of the City- Schools Committee was held on Friday evening. All the members were present, Mr Carr presiding.

Beresford-street School.—At a pre vious meeting the Chairman agreed to measure the floor space of the Beresford street School, in order to find what number of scholars it was equal to hold according to the Act. He stated that lie had done so, and gavo the total accommodation at 753 children. Tho Board allowed SOO on the roll, the largest attendance having been 713 at one time. Messrs Thwaites, Offer, and the Chairman were appointed a sub-com mittee to make inquiries in the matter, and report, the Board having suggested that 70 additional desks should be placed in tke school, which is already said to be full.

Dismissal op a Teacher.—Communica tions frcrn the Board, from Mr Worthing ton and others, having reference to the dismissal of Mr Brown from Wellesley stre'et School (as stated in our report of the Board of Education meeting yesterday), were read, and a special meeting of Com mittee will be held on Wednesday evening next to consider the whole question. Water Meters.—The Town Clerk wrote asking for particulars re faulty meters, as it was intended to remedy any defects.— Agreed that tho information be given. Punishment.— The Head-master of Wel lesley-street School forwarded a memo re charges made by Mr Mitchelson against one of his teachers, being in reference to alleged ill-treatment of Mr Mitchelson's son. He declined to sanction an apology, (1) because the punishment was deserved ; (2) if the boy's head was injured, the injury was done unintentionally; (3) the report of injury appeared to be exaggerated; and (4) it would not be conducive to discipline in the school.—The matter was left in the hands of the Chairman and Mr Brame for further investigation. Sohool Doors.—The Secretary of tho Board wrote aaking consent of Committee to alter school doors, commencing at Wel lesley-street School, so that doors would open outward, and thus lessen danger in case of panic cauaed by fire.—The Com mittee agreed to the proposed alteration, but suggested the doors should open both ways. School Accommodation.—The aub-eom mittee appointed to report on this subject furnished the result of a canvas as follows:— Within the boundaries Franklin Road from water to Wellington-street on the west, Wellington-street to Hobson-street, Cook street to Chapel-street on the east, and Customhouse-street on the north, there are 1,082 children within school ago, as follows: 60 attending Wellesley-street School, 343 Nelson-street, 148 Beresford-street, 8 Mr Andrew's School, 20 Miss Tapper's School, 3 Grammar School, 164 Roman Catholic School, and 65 not attending any school. The result of the corrected lists showed that out of 60 returned as attending Wel lesley-street School 26 do not attend, of 343 Nelson-street 10!) do not attend, of 148 Boresford-street 28 do not attend, of 8 Mr Androw's School 3 do not attond, and of 20 Miss Tappor's School 5 do not attend, add to which 05 who could not attend for want of accommodation, and it gave a total of 237 who do not attend any school. The re port further urged that the High-street School should be closed so soon as a new building was erected in Freeman's Bay.— The report was adopted. This concluded the business.

Saved From the Poorhouso. For years David Allingsworth suffered with rhoumatism, and notwithstanding the best medical attondanco, could not find relief. Ho camo to tho Sciota County Poorhouse, and had to bo carried into and out o£ bed on account of his helpless condition. After tho failuro of all tho remedies which had been applied, tho direc tors of the Poorhouso resolved to uso tho celebrated Gorman remedy, St. Jacob's Oil, and this was a fortunate resolution; for, with tho trial of one bottlo, the patient was already better, and when four bottlos had boon used upon him he could again walk about without tho uao of a cane. The facts, as above stated, will be verified by tho editor of tho Portsmouth (Ohio) " Corres pondent," U.S.A. Sold by all chemists. Price, Three Shillings.—M. Levy and Company.

The new organ imported by Mr T. H. Webb, of Oak Cottage, Hobson-street, for Holy Trinity Church, Otahuhu, has at tracted considerable attention during the week, and is pronounced to bo a very fine instrument for the price, something lees than £43, wo believe—is wonderfully cheap. It has an attractive appearance, and possesses remarkable power and volume of tone for its size. It has five octaves, eighteen stops, sub-bass, octave coupler, and two knee-swells; the stops being the following: — Principal, diapa son, sub-bass, piano, trumpet, Bourdon bass, diapason forte, octave coupler, vox celeste, dulcet principal forte, trej molo, echo, clarionet, melodia, flute, right knee-stop, grand organ knee-stop. The case is walnut, carved and ornamented with 'burl panels, and the pipes are painted, is 102 inches high 50 inches long, and 26 inches wide. Cornish and Co., of Washington, are the makers. It will be taken out to Otahuhu on Monday, and will be formally opened on Tuesday evening, when there will be a full choral service, at which St. Mark's choir will assist. His Lordship Bishop Co,wie will preach the sermon.

CORRESPONDENCE.

North Shore Highway District.

(To the Editor.)

Sm,—My attention has been called to a re. port of a meeting held at Northcoto, which I should otherwise pass over but for an untrue statement reported of Major Benton with respect to "the presenta tion of the plans for the lean," and which I cannot allow to go uncontradicted The history of the loan ranges.back to last summer, and emanated from our chairman Major Benton, presiding at a'public meeting' and warmly expounding the advantages of the scheme of borrowing money under tha Roads and Bridges Construction Act and subsequently applying to the Gov ernment. A sketch plan was con tributed by myself for his use at the meeting, the application being too late for that session. He has, by authority o{ the Board, renewed it to be in time for the last votes, June 30th, and has, in reply been furnished with lithographic forms and directions as to the manner of making up the estimate, and handed them tomoforthafc purpose. The work has been done on the basisof the preparatory plan, aecordingtotlio regulations detailing the general scheme. In the last week in June, the plans being ready, he appointed to call on me in Auck land to post them. He failed to do go. They have been sent to his house, but re turned with expressions as insulting as they are characteristic of his conduct. I met him afterwards, and ho asked me to bring them to the meeting. This I refused to do. He told me that Mr McCallum (a new member) was opposed to it, but on his promise to lay them before the meetings I took them to the Board, He said, in answer to my calling his attend , tion to the time having lapsed, "that he had made that all right." The meeting passed over and the plans were placed 09 one side, where they remain now unopened as they came at first. Thus, like other in terests of the district, the consideration of the ratepayers is wholly ignored, the new Board being made the instrument forthrov> ingover works initiated by their predecessor*. I content myself by giving an emphatio denial to his statement, and in thanking you for allowing me the space to reply, Ibsg to say that I have no intention of further trespassing on your space.—l am, &c, W.F.Hammond. Northcote, September 7th, 1883.

The Waverley License.-Retrospective.

(To the Editor.) Sib,—This matter being settled, and a littla more competition removed, and the value oi the adjacent hotel a little more enhanced, it will not be out of place if we take a re- ' trospective view of the subject, and ask the position of matters, If the company who have leased the old site had elected to maintain the license, provide an hotel site, In that case it may be presumed the wants- of a first-class hotel would at once have been admitted, &a, although the same difficulty must have existed in providing a temporary home for the "wandering licensee. Nq doubt the proprietor of the Waverley " committed an error in removing his license until he had obtained . a regular transfer, because to judge tho matter fairly in all its aspects, we should ask what would be the position of a • first-class hotel admittedly meetingpubllc re» I quirementa if it were determined to rebuild t The removal of the license of the Metropolis ian Hotel from Fort-street to the corner of Shortland-street appears an exactly similar case, so that the Waverley has some fair grounds to complain of being exceptionally treated, unless it is considered that it is tha site which is licensed, and not the building. The insinuation that the main object was to get a price for tho transfer is simply ridi culous. The lessee applied for a trans fer of the license, and the City Council, considering it had a value, fixed »• price. If he had not applied, tha' license would doubtless have lapsed. '! He had only a short time previous paid his yearly license. There was no objections to him personally or to his building, and those who held the property in the license had no just reason to anticipate objections which were not raised until after tha license had been temporarily removed, and which to a considerable extent emanate from the trade itself, and in which no : questions of principle are involved.—Yours, H &c, M.
