BOARD OF EDUCATION.

Yesterday's Mooting (Concluded).

ToTTOHiNoTHATfSOO.— MrJ. M. Speed wrote complaining that tho receipt of a previous communication had not been acknowledged. He then procoodod aB follows:—'' I have now to nak you, on behalf of my client, if the sum of £200, and the costs in respect thoreof, havo yet been refunded to tho Board Fund of your education dis trict. If this has not yet been done, my client must take immediate steps in the matter, and I shall be obliged if you will give me an answer to my question without delay." Nkwton West.—A lengthy letter was received from tho Headmaster (Mr Herbert Mason), mainly in reference to ' the School Committee's representations concerning his alleged severe punish ment of a pupil. He also com plained that his assertion "that tho punishment was not severe" had been omitted trom the newspaper statement of his reply to tho Board. He thought that tho complaint of "severe punishment " .would not have been made but for the recent action of tho Committee. It the report of tho Secretary of the School Committee meant that the happinoas of the children had not boon tho main and constant object of his elt'orts, he utterly denied it. If he had boon severe, it had been with tho obstinate and tho spoilt, and though tho teacher who did his duty towards such children mot with odium, ho held that it was tho parents who neglected their natural duty who were in fault. Ho intimated his desire to terminate his connection with tho Board as early as might be convenient to them. Mr Mason also wrote : " May I ask that tho stato of the School as regards num bors, discipline, and work when I took charge 2$ years ago, may bo compared with its prosent stato. During that time the numbers havo risen from 107 to 377, and Mr Fidlor, who haa recently examined tho school, reports that' tho tono and discipline of tho school aro good.' I have a standing oiler of appointment from tho Inspector- General of South Australia; and though I am loth to leave a sphere whore I was bo ginning to eeo tlio fruits of past hard work, my mind is quito mado up that this is the only right courso to pursue."—Mr Mason's resignation was recoived with regrot. Girls Hum School Entrance Examina tion.—Mr Olark moved, "That tho en trance examination of candidates for ad mission to the lower school bo discontinued, and that tho admission of pupils to lowor schooi bo loft to tho discretion of tho Head master; that the Visiting Committee confor with tho llead-mastor as to prescribing an examination to bo passed by pupils before admission or transfer to tho uppor school." — Carried.

Certificate ok Proficiency.—lt was resolved to inform the lad Kooaing, who had not yet attended at tho Grammar School, and who said that he was awaiting tho decision of his futhor, who was away from town, that unless he did attend tho school on Monday noxt, tho Board would grant tuition to tho next highost on tho list. Chairman's Travelling Expenses,—On tho motion of Mr Carr, seconded by Mr Uoldio, it was unanimously resolved to obtain a railway season ticket for tho Chair man in viow of his many visits to town on tho business of the Board.

THE SCHOLARSHIPS REGULA TIONS.

Suggestions from Minister of .Education.

Tjik following lettor was received on the eubjoct of scholarship regulations:—" Educa tion Department, Wellington, September 24th, ISSS. Sir,- I have the honour by direction of tho Minister of Education to inform you that ho has had brought undor his notice tho difficulty that pupils of country schools are likoly to encounter in ondoavouring to obtain tho senior scholarships olloied by your Hoard. On comparing your Hoard's regulations with tho.-o of the Boards of Otago, South Canterbury, and North Canterbury, ho finds that your demands aro much more exacting than thoirs. In Euclid, for example, one boclc is required in Otago, two in South Canterbury, and three in North Canter bury, while your requirements include tho Cth Book. Canterbury alone requires quadratic equations, and qualities tho do mand by tho word 'easy.' Roman History is not required with Latin by any of the other Hoards. Mr Stout wishes to suggest that, considering how very few country toachors aro as yot competent to propare pupils for a dith'eult examination, sonio such modifications as tho following might with advantage bo made ;—ln Latin, for ' pasfo^os' say ' taxi/ passage?,' and as sign SOO marks instead of 1,200 to tho tub ject; and it might bo well to limit the choice of passages to tho best examples in tho ' Principia. In algobra, if quadratics aro retained, lot them bo oasy equatiocs In Euclid, limit tho requirements to Books I, and 11. Mr Stout is of opinion that toachors capable of imparting ' secondary ' instruction, and willing to do so at extra hours, whothor for feos or out of bonovolonco, or from a desire to provo their compotoncy, and show themselves worthy of promotion, should roceivo all guitablo oncouragement; and ho fears that if the standard for tho aonior scholarship is placed too high, thoy will bo very much dis couraged.—l have, etc , Wil, Jas Haisenk." On tho samo subject tho following lottor was rocoived from Sir Georgo Grey, M.U.K. (City East), Messrs J. B. Whyto, M.H.R. (Waikato), A. J. Cadman, M.H.R. (Cormnandel), L. M. Grace, M.H.K. (Tauranga), E. Mitchelson. M.H.K. (Maredon), \V. F. Bucldand, M.H 11. (Franklin North), 13. Havnlin, M.H.K. (Franklin South), I-1. J. Mow, M.H.K. (Parnoll), Edward Lako, M.H.K. (Waipa), and K. Hobbs, M.H.K. (Bay of Islands) :— "Sir,-On behalf of a largo number of tho bcliool committees in our rospec tivo districts, wo havo tho honour to draw your attention to tho injustice done to country schools and to tho children of poor parents by tho scholarship regulations issued by your Board, embracing as thoy do subjects not taught in tho primary schools, for which such scholarships havo been constituted. The addition of thoso subjects necessitates extra tuition, and for this, either from public or private teachers, thero aro fow facilities in tho Auckland country districts, and oven if privato tuition were available, or if tho maßtors in our primary schools wore generally able to teach Bueh extra subjact6, it would often happen that poor parents would bo unablo to pay for such instruction, and thus the main object for which theso scholarships are created, viz,, the giving educational facilities to deserving boys in all ranks of life, would be defeated. Having regard, thoreforo, to the injustice that woulcTbe inflicted on a largo Bection of the community, wo hope that you will re consider the question with a view of bo amending tho regulations as best to carry out the objoet in view, and we would sug gost that an emendation somewhat in the direction of tho recommendations of the Hamilton West Committee, which have re ceived the approval of many school commit tees in the Auckland district, might'afford'a reasonable solution of the question," Let ters of a similar purport were received from several country school committees.—lt was resolved on the motion of Mr Goldie that Messrs Luko, Clark, and Coopor should bo a committee to consider the correspond ence.

YOUNG MEN'S CHRISTIAN ASSOCIATION.

Tho Proposed Now Building.

Last evening a special meeting of office bearers and members of the above Associa tion wps held, for tho purpose of passing certain resolutions touching the proposed new building. Tea was provided in the social room, after which the party_ adjourned to the lecture-room, where the detailed plans were on view. The President of the Association the Rev. .1. S. Htll occu pied the chair, and in opening referred feel ingly to the death of tho Earl of Shaftsbury, who had for many years taken tho greatest interest in the operations of the Association. Mr Larkins next addressed tho meeting, and related his recollections of the noble part played by tho deceased nobleman in connection with their own and kindred in stitutions, and in concluding proposed "Thatthe Auckland Young Men's Christian Association, having heard with interest and regret tho death of tho Right Hon. tho Earl Shaftesbury, desires to record its sense of that nobleman's great sorvices to God and man as a philanthropist and Christian worker in tho British Empire during half a century, and especially this Association desires to exproes the gratitude of its com mittee and mombers to tho God of Grace, who made Earl Shaftesbury during 42 years to be ono of the best helpers and promoters of tho work of the Young Men's Christian Association."

Bishop Cowie in seconding the resolution mentioned that the Earl of Shaftesbury was not only an earnest student, but a brilliant scholar, and was a man of very decided opinions. Tho resolution was carried un animously. Mr Witiiey spoke next, and being a member of tho Building Committee, gave an interesting description of tho proposed building, Amongst other valuable addi tions, ho stated that on tho upper lloor would bo a large gymnasium 59ft x 40ft, with bath and dressing rooms adjacent. The locturo hall will be 59ft x 40ft, fitted with a gallery, and capable of seating an audience of <jj>o persona. Tho Rev. .T. S. Hill summed up the preaent position of tho Association and pro posals for tho future as follows:—The Young Mon's Christian Association of Auckland is about to undertake an impor tant and difficult work—a work which will largely influonco the future of this city ; and, as ono who has had very favourable opportunities of observing the requirements for such an association, I may bo allowed to placo before you, at your honorary socre tarios' requost, some reasons for tho vigorous ontoring into such a scheme, and some principles to aid us in carrying it out. A word as to tho origin and objects of Young Mon's Christian Associations. Tho neces sity for tho Young Men's Christian Asso ciation arises out of tho circumstances of city life. Manufactories, banks, law offices, largo business houses, togother with smaller though numerous undertakings, mako special domands for young men. Thoso young men, congregating in large towns, aro surrounded by peculiar tempta tions ; honco tho need of Christian co-opera tion in seeking to counteract those ten dencios ; in other words, the need of—what every Christian association should en deavour to bo —a Christian brothorhood; more than that, this brotherhood being Christian, is bound to be aggressive, lhat tho Young Men's Christian Association has in the past proved it ia deeiroua of oarrying on such a work, wo havo only to glance at Its present position. Forty years ago Mr Georgo Williams startod tho first V roung Mon'e Christian Association. Today theio are three thousand associa tions in existence. Tho American asso ciations alono havo a membership of 110,000. Wo start, thon, from this posi tion. Tho Young Mon's Christian Asso ciation is an organisation winch has for its objects tho uniting of Christian young men for tho purposo of the evangelisation and tho ChrUtian edification of nil young men within its roach. Such a position has its responsibilities. It is a comprehen flivo view of thoso responsibilities which all'ords reason for the vigorous ontoring into such a schemo us your Committee propofo : — "1. Tho Association should sook to reach the highest standard of pos sible usefulness. 2. Tho Association should employ all available means for reaching young men ;it should attract young mon to its rooms. 3 Tho Association should aook to devolop tho powom and talents of all its membois by encouraging intellectual culturo, a? the best kind of evangolistic work requires cloarnous of thought. 4 The Association should aim to bo as the GoodSunmrilan. If v young man is unsaved, wo aro bound tJ sefsk to win him. If a young man is in need, wo aro bound to sock to holp him. If a young man is in want of sympathy or advice, wo aro bound to offer it him. 5. Tho Association should seek to oxorciso a boneficial social infiuenco over young mon. C. Tho Association should pro vido moans for tho proper physical educa tion of young men." All thoso advantages our new building will supply. As to the principles which should guido us in the carrying out tho work which our now do parturo involves, they seem to bo two : 1. Tho proposed now building scheme should bo undertaken and carried on in humble and prayerful dependonce upon God, who can and will supply all our needs. 2. Tho spirit of solf ■ sacrifice springing from gratitudo and thanksgiving should bo the motive guiding us in nil our proposed new efforts. Tho hist prinoiplo i-uggosting tho thought, not how nuar wo can go, but how far we can koep from questionable methods ; the second principlo suggesting the thought not how littlo, but how much wo can do for God. Wo havo struggled on against almost overwhelming difficulties, but now the dawn of a brighter day seems close at hand.

Tho following resolutions wero then put to tho mooting, nnti carried unanimously. — Propobed by Mr Wilson, seconded by Mr Withey, " That tho Committeo of the I- sso ciation bo empowered to accept tho most dosirablo tender for tho enaction of a now building." Proposed by Mr Battlky, seconded by Mr I'ooglas, "That tho trusteoa be em powered to negotiato a loun or mortgage for such a sum of money as may bo necessary for tho completion of the proposed new building." Proposed by Mr Lahkins, seconded by Mr Caixknhkr, "That tho Committeo of tho Association bo empowered to soil the prosont building to the highost bidder, and lease aa long as necessary the most con vonient promises procurable"

Several other speeches were madesappcrt ing various resolutions and referring to the work done in the past by the Association, and also prognosticating hopefully for the futuro.

Tho Hon. Secretary, Mr Thus. Buodle, Btated that they had received much en couragement, already a few friends had promisod ovor £1,000 to the institution. It was their intention to hold a farewell meet ing in the present building, when full dotails would bo given. The meeting closed with the usual dovo tions.

MR JOHN BUCHANAN ON "EVOLUTION."

On Thursday evening a locturo wan dcliverou in St. Anr raw's School-room by air John Buchanan on " Evolution." Thcro was a fair attendance, considering the state of the weather. The chair was occupied by the Rev. Sir Carrick, who brielly opened tho proceedings. Tho lecturer disclaimed speaking with uorsonal authority, but rather approached the subject as a.juryman deciding upon ovidence. We were compotent to decide upon hearing ovidence. elae what was the uee of popular seientilic works relating to thte topic. Kvolulion whs readily ice.v ted by tho lover of tho niarvullou.->. Lucretius, G.'Othe, Erasmus Darniii afforded examples. The charms of Cnailes Darwin, Huxloy, and Tyndall were duo to their globing fancy. This would account for tluir ac ceutancp of ovoiution. But science hud rules to try hypotheses. Tho applica ion of these rues would bo a tost us to -whether it we;c a, souud hypothesis. Kvolution failed beeauEO it could not bo demon strated ; because it was nut one, but consisted of many arbitrarily connected suppositions, and not complying with the canons, it ought o be abandonou. Ho compared it to a tapjworm. whic.i. cut into a hundred parts, each part would still be a tapeworm ; so this hypothesis, though dividod into as many portions, oach would bo a live hypothesis. "There was no proof of astecies being modified into another by descent. There ere seveial instances of tho sudden "ap parition of living forms." Human beiogr appear for tho first time as they do now. The authorities boing npeeialiste, such as Barrando, Bigsby, Davidson, aro absolutely opposed to evolution. Brewstpr, Iloische.1, Murchison, Edward Forbes, Aga6Biz, Liouel Beale, Sir M. 'Ihomeon. and tho JJuka of Argyle, with the most fober thinkers of the aif.s. are all opposed to this looep style of thinking. Huxley was on both sides of tho question. Tho lecturer opposed tho advocacy of evolution in sohoolbioks, an inet.nco of which was found in Sir J. D. Hooker's Punier of Botany, because evolution affected to portaiu nut only to ccienco, but also to religion It was th refuro against the spirit of the Education Act We cannot identify science with the crude suppositions of i s votaries. Freedom will not tolurato tyrauny, though it assumo tho garb of science, any more than when it assumed 'he garb of religion. The usual voto of thanks was unanimously accorded to tho lecturer before tho meotiug dispersed.

UEW ZEALAND MEAT & STORAGE COMPANY, LIMITED. CAPITAL, £200,000; CALLED UP, £100,000. DIRECTORS: A, Bull, Esq. D. L. Murdoch, Esq. J. Banks, Esq. L. D. Nathan, Esq. P. Comiskky, Esq. Hon. J, Williamson. Sir F. Whitaker, X C.M.G. The Company begs to notify to the public that tho works at Auckland and the Waiters have now been computed, and constitute the most extensive Meat-preserving and Freez ing Works in Now Zealand. WHOLESALE MEAT MARKET AND SHIPPING DEPOT Is now open at tho Company's Works at tho Railway Wharf, where Town and Country orders will be attended to with the utmost promptness and despatch. Tho Company can refer with confidence to the superior quality ef its Prime Mbat, as selected for the market from large quantities of first-olasa West Coast stock, dealt with at tho Company's Works, Waitara. SALT BEEF. Special attention is directed to tho Company's brand in this line, which, with tho faci lities affordod by the cold-air process, can be cured in mild pickle, and the necessity of cutting up in small pieces obviated. As contractors for H.M. Navy, here and in Sydney, large stocks are kept on hand. BACON-CURING. Tha CooKng Chambers for Bacon-curing at the Company'! Works In Auckland are now bo far advanced that this New Industry has been commenced, and choice Hams and Bacon can be offered cured on tho most modern principle. Particular attention will be paid to the selection of Pias for this use, and on no account will any except Dairy ob Corn Fed Piga be purchased, as it is purposed to build up a reputation for an Auckland Ham and Bacon Factory. MEAT-PRESERVING. This braßoh is equal to an output of 120,0001b5. per diem, and the Company has the greatest confidence in recommending its PRESERVED MEATS As superior to anything of the kind heretofore offered to the public. The Company would specially call attention to the fact that the COMPRBSSBB CANNKD BEEF AND MUTTON, PACKED IN lfflt SQUARE CAN (Tho right to which is patented), is tho first sample from any part of the world that has been able to compete successfully in the London Market with the beat Chicago brands. Hitherto the Colonial meats packed in the round cans, although called compressed meats, were only saleable in the English markets, where a low price was the first consideration, but meats of the New Zealand Packing Company, submitted in competition for Admir alty supplies at Deptford Dockyard, were awarded the highest commendation, and placed on the register of accepted brands. The following extract from tho letter of tho Company's Agents in London, the New Zealand Loan and Mercantile Agency Company (Limited), is referred to, who write as follows : — " We have the pleasure to hand you herewith an extract from a letter received from the War Office, Army Department :—" Bamples of tho Peach Brand o( the Now Zealand Packlufc 00, unbmltted by you, havo been teßtod and proved, and the Brand will be addod to the Selected List of the Department." This bow entitling you to the privilege of comp- ting:, wo therefore tendered on sour behalf at 60s 3d per 1121b: and to-day were grut'fled to hear that the oifer had been accepted notwithstanding that it was 9d per cwt. higher than the leading Amorloan brands, showing that the quality was fully appreciated." Consequent upon the temporary stoppage of production during the transfer of the Company's Meat-preserving Works from Auckland to Waitara, and owing to tho fact that the reserve which had been relied upon to meet current demands was taken by the .New South Wales Government for tho Soudan expedition, the Company haa been unable to comply with numerous demands from customers, but are now prepared to execute with promptitude all orders with which they may be favoured, WHOLESALE BUTTER DEPOT. The Company is about to open a large Wholesale Butter Depot at their Freezing Works, Railway Wharf. Cooling Chambers and the necessary plant are now being prepared. It is anticipated that with the appliances, cold-air chambers, and facilities for dealing with the ever-increasing surplus, the Company will be able to offer a regular and satisfactory market for Dairy Produce, The Company's Managers of this branch are cash purchasers of Prime Butter and Fresh Eggs. Communications may at once be andreseed to them. The utmost care will be taken in the selection of Butter for table use. This will be made up fresh every morning. As early as possible, wholesale orders of Butter will bo delivered in refrigerated carts, so that retailers will be able to obtain a day's supply each morning, and householders, by insisting upon being supplied with the Company's Brands of Butter, will obtain a table delicacy throughout the year. The department will be under the management of Messrs Glanville and Ellyett, whose Butter Business is being taken over by the Company. ACID AND MANURE WORKS. The Directors being very desirous of satisfying the public as to the genuineness of their Manures, have requested Prof. Brown, of the Auckland University, to aot as thoir Analyist, and he has agreed to certify to the Analysis of the Superphosphates. Tho Company will defray the cost of any Analysis of Manures purchased diroct from thorn and duly Bampled, the result of which may be proved to fall below tho guarantood standard, and also allow 4s 6d per ton per unit for the deficiency. Samples and further information may be obtained at the Works, Otahnhu, or at tho Office, Railway Wharf. STORING. The Company is now prepared to enter into arrangements for Storing Genkbal Me: r ' andisk, etc., at current rates. The Storks have a line of rail running through the building to the end of the Rail way Wharf, ao that all cartage, either by rail or vessel, la avoided. All good* stored are aded and unloaded under cover, hydraulio lift and other appliances being available. '
