BOARD OF EDUCATION.

The weekly mooting of this Board was held this afternoon, thero being present Messrs S. Luko (in tho chair), W. F. Buckland, J. W. Can-, D. Goldio, F. J. Moss and D. H. MeKenzie.

Finance Committee.—This Committee reported on the liabilities of the Board in regard to buildings The report stated that The liabilities, including bank overdraft (£4,452 Ss 10c!) and all charges on account of buildings under contract, grants authorised, &c, amount in all to £12,320 14s 4d. The grant alloted to Auckland out of last session of Assembly is £9,G82, which sum will be paid to the Board beforo the close of the financial year—3lst March proximo. The Board has thus contracted liabilities in excoss of giant amounting to £2,038 14s 4d. Relying upon a grant of at least £14,000 for the current financial year, the Board obtained from the Bank a temporary overdraft as above, not exceeding £6,000, which overdraft will bo repaied by the 31st March next. The Committee having considered the posi tion of tho building fund as affected by the unexpected reduction of tho annual grant, recommend :—(1) That application be made to the bank for a now overdraft of a sum not exceeding £0,000 in all for the twelve months ending 31st March, 18S4, upon security of next year's grant. (2) That the Government be furnished with a full and detailed statement of tho Board's position in regard to buildings, and of tho presont immediate requirements, amount ing to more than twenty thousand pounds. (3) And that, until the Government uuthoriso further expenditure for buildings, all new works bo delayed, except thoao for which local contributions have already boon accepted by tho Board.— Mr Buckland pointed out that, according to tho Act, the Board had a perfect right to forestall itscrodit, and tho best answer that could bo made to all tho recent outcry was that tho Board was now in a bettor position than it was last year. It was agreed to postpone tho consideration of tho report for a fortnight, in order that Messrs Hobbs and Cooper might have an opportunity of being present. The Parr Scholarship.—The correspon dence which had passed on this subject along with the Secretary's explanation of the mistake having been read, Mr Parr (who was present), handed in tho following written statement, which was then read :— I, Reuben Parr, of Ngatumanga, Waitoa, in the colony of New Zealand, farmer, and father of Christopher James Parr, do solemnly and sincerely declare as follows, that is to say : (1) That before last Christ mas, on account of being in tho country, I gave instructions to Mr O'Donoghue to in form mo, as soon as the result of the scholarship examination had been declared, whether my son, C. J. Purr abovonamed, had boon successful in winning a scholar ship or not. (2) That the letter signed " D. O'Donoghue," dated at thoThameson the 20th January last.had been received by me at Waihou on the 20th January afore sail. (3) That I hesitated beforo acting, according to that lottor, for two days, becauso I did not wish to involve Mr O'Donoghuo into any unpleasant rfejgm ship with tho Education Board, aiwolso because I had intended to como direct to the Education Board office and to personally demand justico to be dono to my son. (4) That so soon as I observed tho list published on tho ISth January last, I determined to demand a revision, but before doing bo waited for Mr O'Donoghue's promised letter. (5) That through pressure of harvesting I decided to take tho course I took on the 29th of January last, viz., causing my said son to telegraph and write as ho has dono. (5) That I received no official intimation regarding the rectification cf tho omission of my son's name from the list of names of winners of scholarships until tho 31st of January last, and had no such intimation on tho 29th of January last. (7) That I suspect injustice had been first attempted towards my son, seeing that his namo had been ex cluded from the list published on the IStli of January last, and that I still su poet injustice dono him in tho position (6th) asssigned to him. (S) That I therefore demand justice to bo dono my son (above named), and that by means of indeV pendent, disinterested examiners revising the work. And I mako this solemn deck? ration conscientiously boliovjng tho pairuj to be true, and by virtue of tho Act of the General Assembly of New Zealand intituled "The Justices of the Peace Act, 1882."— Reuben Parr. Declared at Auckland, this day of February, 1884, befoie me, D, B. McDonald, Justieo pf tho Peace." Mr Parr then submitted the following letters, which had been sent to him by Mr O'Ponoghijo: — Ist letter; "Thames, 20th January, 1884. My Dear Sir,—To my intense grief I miss James's name from the list of winners of scholarships and certificates of proficiency. Tnero must bo something rotton and wrong somewhere to find such a result. I never know a candidate better prepared than he was or one yvho did his work better. It is awful to look at tho result, haying such a feeling in my mind and soul. lam so excited and scalded with anger, that I don't know what to dp, and pl<eac.o excuse a short note now, as I intend, with your help, to pursue this matter to the bitter end. Sond telegram (as attached) at once, and get him to write as welf.—Yours over faithfully, D. O'Donaojide. R.. Parr, Esq,, Waitoa,"—[Telegram attached; "I claim reyision of my ansyverfng and papers returned me, —C. J. Parr, Scholars!)jp Can* didate."—2nd letter (draft for young Parr to send te Board) : " Wajtoa, Jan,, 1884. Sir,—l noiice my name to be not among tho names of winners of scholarships or certificates of proficiency, I am not satisfied with the result us I know I answered every paper well and fully. My rough work and tho answers I hayp with roe will show this. I respectfully re quest my answering to be revised by some one competent, different from him or them who have already examined it, Evi dently it ivould be useless to get those who have already examined it to re-examine it, ,as they would be sure to justify themsolves, I also request that my papers be not destroyed, aa, if they are to be returned to me by lav, I will have recourse to law to get them returned. I have no doubt but I have been subjected to some treatment that I don't understand. If this is hard language for me to use, I trust the Board will inquire and see if I am not justified. I am as sure as that I live that I have not got fair play, and that I answered better than some judging from my conversation with them during three 0? four days, who have got, as I see, scholarships. I have the honor to be, sir, your obedient servant, C. J, Park, the Secretary Education Board, Auckland, «. p.g. lam head over ears about Newton, but will Bee you through in this affair, What makes me so mad is that I know James has dono well, haying seen his papers, but this knowledgo is not to bp used by him at all. Nothing has ever more' surprited me than his failure, I was proud of him and his work, and would hazard all my worldly goods that he would be first or near it. I have an explAnatipn which, by and by, I'll let you know, It is aimed per haps at eonio one besides dear James, These notes are pi-iyate, and strictly confidential, because I haVe faith, in you and in him: Keep popy of telegram and letter sent. Destroy this letter as it would ruin me to drive you on,if the Board knew ft, which you wpuld not like to do b me. 'Ex r cuse haste. Newton is yep undecided 'Give my love' to Jaroea, who is not yet to lose his heart.—" D.O.D.f In answer to a question from Mr Moss, Mr O'Donoghue (who was present) acknow ledged lia'ving indited the draft letter in serted above, which the boy Parr copied and forwarded to the Board. Mr Parr claimed that a revision should bo granted of the scholarship papers, inasmuch as he believed that his son should occupy first place on the list of candidates instead of sixth.—A lengthy discussion' ensued, Mr Goldie supporting the (application for re vision, and moving that the papers should be referred to the University profe'ssoi'Sj and Mv Moss objecting strongly to the proposal, on the ground that it would bo unworthy of the Board, as showing a want of faith fn the gentlp mon who acted as examiners. Eventually Mr Goldje?s motion was negatived, and an amendment by llv Moss, to allow Messrs Parr and O'Donoghue aeppfs to the papers, was withdrawn. (Loft sitting.)

To the Editor: Sir,—ln reply to your correspondent "A Woman," Clause 146 in the Licensing Act says :—'" If any inn' keeper permits drunkenness, or any violent, quarrelsome or riotous conduct to tako place on his prem bos, or sells any liquor to any person already in a state of intoxication, or by any means encourages or incites any person to drink, ho shall be liable to a penalty not execodingtwonty pounds.andfor second offence not exceeding fifty pounds.' Again, Clause 166 : "Any licensed person who allows to be supplied in his licensed premises by purchase or otherwise to bo consumed on the premises, any description whatever of spirits, or of wine, ale, beer, or porter, to any person apparently undor the ago of 10 years, of either sex, not being a resident on tho premises or a bona fide guest, lodger, or traveller, shall, as well as the person who actually gives or supplies the spirits, wine, ale, beer, or porter, bo liablo to a penalty not exceeding ten pounds for overy such offence." Tho above clauses appear to bo very Httlo understood, and are very often grossly violated. You will con for a benefit to Society by making thorn more generally known through tho medium of your Star.—Yours, &c, J. Newman,
