BOARD OF EDUCATION.

The ordinary meeting of the Board of Education was held yesterday afternoon. Present — Messrs Luke (Chairman), Carr, Goldie, Clark, and Professors Tucker end Aldis.

Chairman's Report.—This report was brought up with recommendations, and adopted.—Mr Cooper.wrote, to the effect that being busily engaged at the R.M. Court, he was unable to attend the Board meeting yestorday, "Writing in Schools.—Mr Carr, Chair man of Committee, handed in report re system of writing .in schools. There were complaints from many quarters of the pre judical effect on the pupils, of a rigid adheronco to the strict letter of the Board's instructions, not only in standard and scholarship examinations, but in the ordinary overy-day work of schools. The Committee thorefore submitted to the Board the desirability of relaxing to n considerable extent the directions to teachers on this subject. Tho Committee, whilo recognising the valuo of Vera Poster's system as a basis, suggests that tho instructions with reference 10 a strict conformity thereto might bo, with advantage, considerably modified, and teachers bo allowed a reasonable discre tion, so long as they take every care that the writing shall be distinct and clear. The Committee further suggests that writ ing in copy-books be not compulsory lor fifth and sixth standards ; and that in scholarship examinations the "plucking" for writing should be exercised only in very extreme cases. — The sevoral members having remarked upon the recommenda tions of the Committee, resolved, upon the motion of MrGoldie, seconded by Professor Tucker, that tho report be passed to the Inspector to report upon a fortnight hence. Balances at Bank.—The following are balances at bank to date October 31st:— Building Fund, debit, £4,149 18s 9d ; Edu cation Fund, credit, £3,607 10s; debit balance at bank, £542 8s 9d.

Application*—Several applications were received and dealt with from Hamilton West, Peria, Wnitemata, Newton, and Waimate, re fencing and small require ments.

Quarterly Report. — Tho Inspector's report on unsatißfactory"Btandard examina tions was brought up and adopted. Other Business.—The remainder of the business consisted of applications for exemption from teacher's examination, ap lications for employment, and the passing of approved accounts.

CORRESPONDENCE.

Runaway Railway Engine Accident.

(To the Editor.)

Sir,-I have been anxiously lookinw for some timo to see the report of the inquiry into the rauso cf tho rim. away railway inline acciden*, In your issue of the 20th instant. I notice that the preliminary inquiry here had been conducted with closed doors, tbe press even not being admitted, which I havo no doubt was strictly in accordance with instructions received from Wellington. But why, I would liko to ask, was it con sidered necessary to burke an open, bona fide, nnd public investigation of co important an affair ? To induce such an objectionable procedure there surely must be somo glaring neglect of duty to conceal in eonnec fon therewith. I confess that from the account of the affair given in your issue of the loth inst., I am satisfied that had the runaway engine, while standing in the Auckland Station-yard been left, properly secured, by the reversing lever being placed in the centre of the lever guard (namely, in a neutral position); with the regulator shut off, it would have been utterly impossible for any shock, however severe, from another engine, to have turned on the steam of the standing engine, The result of what at first seemed an almost . imminent collision in such a confined place as the Auckland tunnel would, but for the presence of mind of the engine driver of the passenger train in shutting off his steam and applying his breaks, have been to carry death and desolation into the homes of scores of families; and when we - find so momentous un affair treated so lightly by our railway officials that merely a private hushed-up inquiry is mado, and especially by those who only ought to have been called upon to give evidence, it is certainly time the public should bestir themselves and demand that a thorough, strict.and public investigation be mado into such disgraceful mishaps. It ■ seems to me very forcibly that the manage ment of tho New, Zealand railways is rapidly drifting into a complete state of collapse; and why the servants of the public, who aro all, I believe, pretty well paid for the service's they perform—from the Minister downwards—are to be allowed to go on so heedlessly, so recklessly, and so surely to ruin without being called to account, I cannot conceive; and Ido hope that some movement will bo made to remedy such a monstrous state of things before some terrible catastrophe takes place. I see the Minister, in his Public Works State men.,freely admits that the management of our railways is in a very unsatisfactory state; and he further says that members (andT would add the public also) would be amazed if they knew the extent of the powers vested in the General Manager oi Railways by the late Government ; and at the same time he makes the astounding announcement that he has the highest opinion of the ability and zeal of the General Manager, which means, I presume, that he considers him fully competent to grapple with all the duties of his position, INow, how in tho namo of common sense tho Minister can really conciliate such statements, I am perfectly at a loss to understand, First, he tells us that the railways are badly managed; secondly, lie intimates that tho General Manager is vested with all tho necessary powers to manage the railways in a proper manner ; and thirdly, that he has every confidence in the ability and the zeal of the General Manager ; and yet what is the result ? Bid management, by tho Minister's own admis sion. It strikes me very forcibly indeed that both the Minister and the General Manager aro playing at a game which they are most profoundly ignorant of; bilt.it would not matter much if their own pockets were only affected how the game ended, but when it is well-known that such reck less conduct will surely entail heavy extra taxation upon tho whole colony, then the sooner both those gentlemeu- relinquish their rcspect've positions into moro able hands, the better both for their own credit and the public exchequer.—l am, &c. R. VV. Moody. M C. and M.E , Auckland, 30th October, 'IS.I.

The Codlin Moth.

(To the Editor.)

Sir, —Mr Sanford, writing in your issue on Wednesday'last re the codlin moth, takes a very one-sided view of the question. Ho evie'ently has no money invested in applo orchards, or ho would net have treated the subject in such a cavalier manner. He says " the moth is no worse now than it was four years ago." Upon what authority does he make such a statement t What data has he to go by ? Can he give us an idea what it will be four years hence should the wholesale introduction of infected apples be permitted as per last two shipments from America . He also says "we want to grow a greater quantity of apples so as to get them cheaper; the people would then acquire a taste for fruit." But I think that unless the producer can manage by co-operation or in some other way to dispose of their fruit to the consumer without the intervention of the middle-man or dealer, it will be a long time beforo the people will get fruit sufficiently cheap to acquire a tasto for them. " W.S." further says :" As long as we havo orchards we shall have various pests." That being so, I thihk it be hoves those interested to jealously guard against the introduction of any more, particularly the codlin moth, the wore*

pest known to apple culture, and more par ticularly so now, seeing that If a measure now being introduced into the Legislative Council becomes law, the orchardist will be severely taxed to endeavour to eradicate tbe pest. And so far from the gentleman who started the discussion making a mis take, as "W.S. " infers, I think he did a very praiseworthy thing, and deserves the thanks of all those interested in apple culture."—l am, &C, V. ,

Birkenhead, October 30,

To the Editor; Sir, — Knowing your willingness at all times to ventilate a grievance, I take the liberty of asking you through your widely-circulated paper, what redress I have against the wilful destruction of my dust-boxes by the carters employed by the City Council for its romoval. This morning the carter's assistant took my boxes off the path and handed them up to the driver on the cart, a distance of about Bor 10 feet. On his emptying them, he exclaimed "This will not come out again," and he deliberately tore the side out of thp box and threw it down on tho street.- .Last week he served my next-door neighbour the same way_ and this week they provide a sane bucket, whioh he also threw from the top of the cart to the street, and on being re monstrated with was most impertinent. I would like to know if wo pay rotes to have ouv property destroyed and get impudence into the bargain. It i- timo the City Council or some ono in authority put a stop to it.—l am, etc., As Aggrieved. RATE PAYER. . , .'«•'■.
