BOARD OF EDUCATION.

At the meeting of the Board of Education yesterday afternoon, Professors Aldis and Tucker were elected representatives upon the Board of Governors of the Grammar School. Professor Aldis was also unani mously appointed Chairman of tho Board of Education in room of Mr S. Luke, retired,

The Board having found tbe experiment of fortnightly meetings, with an Executive Committee doing work in the interim, to operate unsatisfactorily, they have given the quietus to their devoted Executive, and, despite a protest from the country members, reverted to the old system of weekly meetings. In acknowledging the receipt of a request from tho Board of Education for the hand ing over of the Howe-street Borne for the purposes of the Girls' High School, the Under Secretary for Education has written to say that he intends, if possible^ to visit Auckland soon, when be will see into the matter. As to the position of tbe Girls' High School, the Minister thinks it a pity that it has not been made a branch of the Grammar School for boys, inasmuch as the girls havo as much right to the higher education as the boys. On tho motion of Professor Tucker, the Board resolved upon making a grant towards the formation of a reference library for the Girls' High School, and the head master is to be requested to draw up a list of the works he deems most essential,

THE TRAINING COLLEGE.

Principal McAbthub's report upon the Training College for 188. was submitted to tho Board of Education yesterday. It stated inter alia that at the beginning of the year there were 10 male and 23 female students, while at the end the numbers were -9. males and 22 females. During the year the students bad secured three ol the four University College scholarships. Six students passed the annual examination of the University College, and two of them gained a first-class certificate both in Latin and English. At the Matriculation examination in December, 9 passed out of 11 who entered, and 1 passed the Srst section of the B.A. degree. 21 students had gone forth from the College during the year as trained teachers. In this connection Mr McArthur thought that sreat care should be taken to admit to the ollege only Buoh as were physically capable of undertaking the teaching work, and he suggested that in future the Principal should be associated with those who , have the selection of candi dates for admission. In conclusion he re gretted the rather small proportion of males among the pupil teachers.

To the Editor: Sir,—Through your columns I might observe to the public that a great deal of worthy praise has been paid to our Volunteer corps, but cannot help stating, from personal know ledge, that there are scores of men, even in this city, who have served the New Zealand Government but decline to serve it again, yet are willing to enroll as a citizen brigade two or three hundred strong. This would embrace the feelings of those men who lately so freely supported Bennett's Soudan contingent, I therefore say, Bury any opposition feeling, and let two or three good worthy citizens take the matter up, and make use of such men, and thoreby for defensive pur pose have one strong and willing corps to support our fivo or six small Volunteer corps. I submit one Volunteer is worth two pressed men, and we cannot depend upon tho Government,—! am, etc., W.J,
