EDUCATIONAL CONFERENCE.

(ijy TELEURAriI— OWX COBKE.SrOSDE.NT.)

Dcxedix, this day. A. laiiuk and representative conference of School Committees in and around Dunedin waa held on Tuesday night, when the following resolutions were unanimously agreed to, with the exception of the exclusion of geography, for passes — a minority thinking this should continue to be taught in tho higher classes : "That in tho opinion of this conference it is desirable that cumulative voting should bo abolished, provided that only bona fide householders in the school district, or parents, or guardians of children attending the schools of the district, should be allowed to vote at the annual election meeting ; ulso, that voting powers be extended to females who own property in the district, or are parents, or guardians of children attending the schools. That it is desirable the clause re compulsory attendance be altered in the direction of compelling every child of school age residing in a school district to attend school forty-five days in eacli quartor. That the Education Department should appoint truant oilicers, on whom would rest the duty of enforcing the compulsory clauses of the Act. That tko powers of school committees should be considerably enlarged, especially in tho direction of tho appointment of teachers, A motion was also proposed : " That tho present syllabus is excessive, and requires modification ; that history should be taught in tho fifth and sixth standards only." Several speakers wished geography taught in the higher standards, but did not desire it to be a compulsory subject. Pro fessor Sale would like to see history and geo graphy out of the syllabus altogether, even in standards five and six. So far as inspectors' examinations wore concorned in both sub jects the questions wero utterly boyond the children's capacity ; indeed, ho doubted if somo children in tho secondary schools could answer some of them. F.o moved as an amendment, "That history and geo graphy bo oxoludod from tho Standards as examination subjects." This was carried by a decided majority, At an adjourned conference, it is intended to doal with tho following questions :—ln spectors should make allowance for absence of scholars when satisfactory causo can bo given ; the desirability of inspectors being brought undor the Education Department, with a view to securing uniformity of action.

RECOGNITION SOIREE AT NEWTON CONGREGATIONAL CHURCH.

A rkcoqnitio:* soiree to the Rev. Thomas Adams was held in tlio Newton Congrega tional Church on Thursday evening, and was very largely attended. Trays were in : the hands of ladies of tho c'.urch, and the Kood things thereon supplied to the company. Tho ladies we-3: Me6dames Adams, Currie, Ellyett, Fisher, Gledfern Herle, Hobson, L"-.nbourne, Leo (2), Rowe (3), Service, Spragg (2), Stuart Taylor • ' VVaddel, Warren and Wood, also Messrs Baxirac, Buchanan and Firth. Mr J, C. Fivth occupied tho chair at the meeting-' and delivered an excellent opening address. He said the recognition of Mr Adams as minister of the second Con gregational Church in Auckland was an evontwhich would bo regarded by Protestant congregations as an encouraging aud hope ful sign of the times. Mr Firth then gave an historical sketch of Congregationists showing how they struggled for that civil and religious freedom which wo now enjoy. In theso days all relkioig bodies havo equal rights, and in claiming for Congregationo'iHts a foremost position in tho arduous contest, ho only claimed what ' history has recorded. Tho speaker then pointed out the duties of Christians in the * present age, in tho midst of Atheism and Paganism, in hooping constantly beforo them the bright oxaniple of their Maater ' and with a loving devotion endeavouring to follow Him. Mr N. Wood followed with an interesting review of the history of the Newton Church, which .wm ttarted by Hew Mr Hooker with a gather ing of eight porsosa. Tlic Church continued to advance in iiu.abers and infiiionce until March, 1871, when it was blown down with a debt of £200 on the building ' Messrs Thornton and Rout were the '* • creditors, and those gen Semen forgave tho debt justly duo to them. The late Mr W. C. Wilson roidc.ed valuable aaeiEt. unco towards the election of the new church, The subsequent .-peakers were Mr E, Wood, Rev. Thomas Adams, the new ' minister, Revs. Messrs Rice, Robertson !

All the parties who nfc at work there are thoroughly well satis lied with their prospects, and some of them ■ are doing remarkably well. Of course, fore most of these is the Matawai claim, from which some very rich gold has been got ■ lately ; many of the stones are estimated to yield over three ounces of gold per pound. The general stud' is also very good. This - reef lias now been tested for over three - hundred feet and found to be payable nearly the whole distance. The Council are call ing for tenders to form and metal the road -' ■ to the battery, which will be a great boon to this and adjoining claims. . : Central. —The manager has lined out the reef from the Matawai, and started trenching to cut it. He has found "good : coarse gold some distance below the line of : reef, and is very sanguine of getting the reef as good as Ids neighbours. :'> Vizards.—A drive has been put in to cut - ". the reef from which the late rich stuff was.,/:; taken, and the manager expects to. cut the*" gold in some ten or twelve feet driving. ■ ' There is no doubt it is a line body of stone, but so far there has been very little work done on it. Matawai, No. 2.— A largo amount of '[ prospecting has been done on this mine, but up to the present time nothing rich has been got. Tokatea.—The ground is still very hard in the main level. Some of the tributers are getting a little gold, but nothing extra ordinary. Royal Oak.—They have splendid country r in the low level. The reef looks first-rate, but they cannot get payable gold. The Last of the Mohicans have a very nice leader in hand, from which they have ■" ~ obtained very rich specimens. It is con sidered that this leader might have shed the rich specimens and gold which have been got in Paul's Creek. The Success continues to get nice patches * of gold. They have evidently got into a ' .'. better channel of country, and may get a ■■ large haul any day. UNION Beach.—The manager reports ; having a nice leader in hand at the 180 feet ■ level, supposed to be the same from which rich specimens were got in the intermediate ; level.
