Employment of Girls.

(To tho Editor.)

Sir,—You state in your sub-leader of yesterday that complaints aro continually reaching you from females employed in boot factories and other places of their beini? kept 12 and 13 hours a day at work, to the great detriment of their health. I bee to state as a large employer of female labour in the boot trade that the hours of labour in my factory for all employes, whether male or female, adults or underage, are from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., allowing one hour for dinner, closing Saturdays at 1 p.m., and in no case are these hours departed from • and I may further say, in justice to the trade as woll as to myself, that theso are the usual hours of work, and 1 am not aware of any boot factory in which this rule is broken Young women generally leavo my employ ment to get married, not to be buried. B? inserting tho above, you will oblige -. Yours, &c, J. Tkenwith, Waketie'ld street.

The City Council and Our Water Supply.

(To the Editor.)

Sir,—lt is high time, I think, that a publio meeting of the citizens wos called to con sider the above subject. We have a water works and an abundant supply 0 £ the purest water that ever could be obtained in any city ; our object is, therefore, to obtain the land contiguous to our present Water works, through which thesupply comes, and which has been offered to the Council for the sum of £12,000, which includes the present Tallow Company's land. They demanding £1,000 compensation for their landj and having to remove their wonts away, the Tallow Company have given only until the 29th of May for a decision. Now, after that, the Council would havo to pay per haps, £2,000, and some say £3,000, for the Tallow Company's property. Then in the face of these facts,why so much supineness? We are heavily enough taxed already, and therefore the strictest economy should be used—for what is £12,000 to complete oui water supply, compared with what it would cost to bring water from either the Waitakerei Ranges or the Wairoa South and not only so, but the water froni either, of these places is so impure owing to the" vegetable matter it contains, that eyery summer our citizens would he attacked with diarrhcea and dysentery, which is not'the case now. We have had the citizens and ratepayers money spent ostensibly to select better water supplies, but which seems to us ratepayers to appeal- more like City Council picnics, and it is time a decision was come to in the matter of this pure water supply, moro especially as there are those who are doing all they canto buyparta of Edgcombe'sland, through which the water rises and runs, on purpose to ultimately lay an embargo on the Council to obtain a much larger sum or sums for their property. J_\ they could purchase of the present owner, the Tallow Company have under offer two miles further off 30 acres of land at;£2oo per acre, and which they would purchase and remove their works to, but the decision at the £1,000 must be given on or before the 29th May.—Yours, &c., J. P. King.: ~__

CITY SCHOOLS COMMITTEE.

The City Schools Committee met last evening. Present: Mr C. Carr (in the chair) and all the members. The Rev. S. A. Golstein, Rabbi of the Hebrew Congrega tion, wrote asking that the children of.the Jewish persuasion attending the city schools should be allowed to leave at 3.30 during each Wednesday during the winter months, so as to ensure their attendance.> at .the Synagogue for Hebrew instruction..[The Committee agreed to reply that they, could not deviate from their regulations, and had therefore to decline the request. A circular from Mr Steward, M.H.R.; ,waa received. It contained particulars ol the bill entitled "The Schools Cornmittees.Billi" which it is proposed to introduce during the session of 188-1. Consideration was post poned. Mr McMaster gave notice of motion, " That the Committee should con sider the advisability of recommending thy» Board to dispose of theiland in Napier-street, with the view to obtain a more suitable site;? Letters from the Board were read as fol lows : —(1. That the following changes have been authorised—Wellesley. street. School. Miss Amy E. Moss, employed. as a pro bationer, and Miss Margaret McLarnon as pupil teacher on probation. Beresford street School: Mr Walter W.Waddenand Mr George Blaekett to be employed m"piq. bationers ; Mr H. J. Carson, probationer^ and Miss Mary Eraser, pupil teacher,^re moved. Nelson-street: Miss EvaP.Catoj employed as pupil teacher. (2) That re proposal to remove Mr Thwaites from Nel son-street School, no further action will be taken in the matter. (3) That the Board had agreed to terminate Mr Brabazon's engagement as Head-master of Nelson-street School at December 31st next. (4) That the Board consider the Committee'e recommendations for a special regulation regarding the punishment of girls by head teachers. (5) Asking for an approximate estimate of all schools, dwel ling-houses, fittings, and other property owned by the Board on March 31, 1884. Mr William Gorrie was elected to fill the vacancy caused by the de parture of Mr Offer from New Zealand. Messrs E. Carr, Crowther, and Shalders were appointed a sub-committee to protect the interests of the Committeel re sale of High-street School, the owners having only given three months' notice, while it is asserted that the Board claims 12 months' notice. :,' ;:.-..

BOARD OF EDUCATION.

The following business was transacted at yesterday's sitting of this Board (MrHobtfii in the chair) after our reporter left:--:_ -..-_

Mk McAethuk's Application.—A long discussion took place on tho question of rescindingthe formerresolution of theßoard. The Chairman reviewed the case, which, ac cording to the Official Assignee's report, was a very bad one, and he saw no reason to alter his view as previously expressed,— Mr Moat came to the Board perfectly un decided as to what he should do. Mr McArthur had raised himself from a humbler position to that of a schoolmaster, and possibly from lack of a praotical know ledge of the world, he had easily fallen into trouble. He was inclined, with Mr Moss, to give him another chance of retrieving himself.—The Chairman put Mr Clark's motion, "That tho Board decline to alter its former decision," which was carried.

Mk Newell PniLLirs's Letter.—A letter was received from Mr Phillips, Wai kato, touching certain damaging allega tions made by Mr O'Donoghue as to the state in which he found the school when Mr Phillips left it.—lt was agreed, on the motion of Mr Goldie, to forward to Mi?. Phillips a copy of that portion of Mr O'Donoghue's letter referred to by him.,' '"' Punishment op Children.—The corres pondence on this subject from the City. Schools Committee was introduced, ...to which the Inspector appended the following memo:—" The plan followed in some of tla schools is that corporal punishment shall not be inflicted on girls except by the 'order, of the head-master, who selects one of the femalo assistants to inflict it This is a good plan so far as it goes, but is evidently nob' applicable to all the schools.' lam inclined' to think that it is best to leave the' mat-'. tor to the discretion of the head teachers!1 Corporal punishment is not often really re-' quired for boys or girls, but the possibility of its being used should be always present." —It was agreed to forward the memo to'the Committee.

Mr Joseph Bkabazon's Case.—A long letter was received from Mr Brabazon, enumerating his actions and services for forty years in the cause of education, refer ring particularly to tho case of the girl Hicks, about which such a fuss had been made, and complaining that no examination of the girl's hand had been made. He would not com plain of the decision of the Board, but asked, as a compensation for years of steady service, twelvemonths' salary.—lt was de cided to forward Mr Brabazon's letter to the City Schools Committee.

The remainder of the business consisted in dealing with country applications and passing accounts.

The value of this well-known Family Medicine has been largoly tested in oil parts of the world, and by all grades ot sooiety, for upwards of Jiftv tbabs.

Collis Browne (Lato Army Medical StaiD, to which he gavo the name of CIILORODYNK, ond which is admitted by the profession to be tho most wonderful and valuable remedy ever discovered. CIILORODYNIS is tlie best remedy known for Coughs. Consumption, Bronchitis, Asthma. CHLORODYNE acts liko a charm in Diarrhoea, ond ia the only specific in Cholera and Dysentery. , .

From BvmcH & Co., Pharmaceutical Chemists, Medical Hall Simla, January 5,1580. To J. T. Dovonport, Esq., 33, Great IlUßSoll-street, Dloomsbury, London. Dear Sir,—Wo embraco this opportunity of congratulating you upon tho wide-spread reputation this justly esteemed medicine, Dr J. Collis Browne's Chlorodyne, hus earned for itself, not only in Hlndostan, but all over tho East. As a remedy of general utility, wo much question whether a better i 3 imported into the country, and we shall bo glad to hear of its finding a placo in every Anglo-Indian home. The other brands, wo are happy to say, are now relegated to the native bazaars, and judgingfrom their sale, we fancy their sojurn there will be but evanescent. Wo could multiply instances ad infinitum of tho extraordinary etlicaoy of Dr. Collis Browne's Chlorodyne in Diarrhcea and Dysentry, Spasms, Cramps, Neuralgia, the Vomiting of Pregnancy, and as a general seda tive, that havo occurred under our personal obßcrvotion during many years. In Choleraic Diarrhoea and even more terrible forms of Cholera itself, we have witnessed its surprising controlling power. Wo have never used any other form of this medicine than Collis Browne s from ftllrm conviction that it is decidedly the best, and also from a sense of duty we owe to the profession and tlie public, as we are of opinion that tlie substitution of any other than Coins Browne's is a imcuukkatk m.EACii ok faith ON THK PART OF THK CHEMIST TO PItESCIiIIIEK and patient alike.
