EDUCATIONAL MEETINGS.

Auckland City.

Tiik annual meeting of householders of tbo Auckland City School District was hold luat evening. There v/ae a fair attendance Mr P. A. Philips was voted to the chair. Annual Rei-ort. — The annual report was read by Mr Edwin Carr. Refer ence was made to the fact that at the last meeting a resolution was passed requesting the City Council to reduce the charges for water. The Com mittee, however, used someapplinnceswhich reduced|the waste of water to such an extent that the application for reduction of charges was deemed unnecessary. The cost of water supply was £26 4s Bd, as against £50 9s 2d in the previous year. The Committee were also requested to con sider the advisability of making two classos of scholarships—one for those of school age, and one for thoso over age. The Committee had called the Board's at tention to the unfairness of the present system to tho children of school ago. The Board are now considering the matter. An experiment was mudo with tho Kin dergarten system of education, but after tho establishment of the class, circum stancoß outßido their control caused the teacher to resign, and as no qualified teacher could be found the class could not be continued. Tho prizes apportioned at the late demonstration were divided amongst tho various schools for sports. Tho committee have tried to obtain more school accommodation, and urged the Board to erect one wing for tho proposed school in Napier-street, and regretted that the Board had nit tho moans to build this much-needed school. The Committtee are glad to report a large increase in the number of scholars in the branch school at the Methodist School room, Franklin Koad. The monthly reports by the head-teacher v, ere now sent to the Committee, but were not made public. The Committeehadanumberofapplicationsfrom parents to admit or continue in the schools children over age ; but they determined to discourage these, especially where parents werj in a position to pay for their children's education. Owing to irregular attendance, the Committee had circulated 3,000 copies of a paper to be printed, showing not only the loss of education to the scholar, but also the money loss to tho educational district. The new Head-master of Nelson-street school is giving great satisfaction, and the attendance has largely increased.—ln con sequence of complaints, the Committee have most carefully considered the system of writing in the schools, with a view to remove the dissatisfaction (if well founded) and yet maintain a good system. Accordingly thoy made such representations to the Board. Alterations have been made which thoy think will remedy the evils com plained of, and promote much good The account showed a balance in the bank of £8 15s 4d. Tho report and balance-sheet were adopted. Anvertisino, — A discussion took place re specting tho insufficient publicity given to the meetings, it being pointed out that the notice in the Stab, which was the paper most generally read by householders, Leing very slight. A resolution was passed, on the motion of Mr Brearley, drawing the attention of the Board to the desirability of greater publicity for the future. Nkw Committee.—The Committee then proceeded to the election of a Committee For the ensuing year. Mr Edwin Carr de clined to stand again, owing to a rheumatic complaint, which he feared would interfere with the performance of his duties. He was, however, suesequenUy induced to reconsider hia determination. Mr William Swanson alsodeclinedtostand.

Cambridge, this day,

The mooting of householders last night at the Public Hall to elect a school committee was well attended ; the Hew H. B. Dews bury in the chair. Mr Sargent, Chairman of tho outgoing Committee, read the annual report, which has already been published. Mr Wells referred at length to the progress which tho schools had made during the year under the management of tho Com mittee, and particularly under the personal supervision of the Head-master, Mr Stewart. As an instance of the growing prosperity of the schools, ho quoted the fact that that morn ing no less than 20 new pupils had been enrolled, four of which entered the High School. The ropoi t as read was adopted. Mr Well's then proposed tho following Committee:— Messrs Sergeant Houghton, Hcslting, Dickonson, Webber, Hewitt, and Gilbert, In doing sa fee made a few remarks on the qualification' of. the candidates and growing importance of the High School. Ho spoke of the valuable services of tho late Chairman, to whom he attributed a great measure of the success that has attended thG working of the school for tho past twelve months, and trusted they would now return him at the head of the poll. He further referred to the pro posal of the " Herald' and " Times to establish a Central High School in Hamilton, which he ridiculed as something too good to be entertained by the settlers in this part of tho country. The Hamilton High School was on its last legs, and the proposal re ferred to was a mere spasmodic effort to ro animateitintoanewaxistence. He compared this with the nourishing condition of the Cambridge High School under Mr Stewart. Largo centres of population were now springing np in the vicinity of Lichfield, Oxford, etc., for which Cambridge was the centre. No other candidates being pro* poeod, those named were deolared elected. Mr Surgant was |re-appointed Chairman at a subsequent meeting of the Committee.

These Pills are highly recommended for In digestion, Headacho, Biliousness, Liver Com plaints (the "latter uro frequently the cause of Irregularity), Giddiness, Constipation, and especially in conjunction with the Calendar Pills, with which it is suggested (for reasons fully explained in circulars accompanying Medicines) they should be obtained. All who havo used those Remedies testify to the kindliness and regularity of tho monthly sickness. In many cases of palonoss, debili'y, and loss of appetite of months duration, causing the gravest fears of consumption, the judiciou3 use of the Pills and Tonic has restored the bloom of health, strength, and enjoyment of food. The attention of lady principals, matrons of public and private institutions, mothers, mil liners, dressmakers, shop-girls, domestic ser vants, factory girls, and all engaged in seden tary occupations or cloaely confined situations, is called to the unequalled Tonjc and correotive virtues of these famous Remedies.
