EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTE.

The usual meeting of the Auckland Branch of the New* Zealand Edncational Institute was held on Saturday afternoon at the Wellesley-sfcreefc School-room. There was a large attendance. The President, the Rev. Mr Gulliver, occupied the chair.

Dr. Laishi.ky's -Work.-The Secretary reported that the Board of Education had forwarded to the Institute twelve copies of Dr. Laishley'a work upon " Education." New Membebs. — The following new members were elected :—Messrs \V. Tibbs, W. H. Murray, J. Lindley, Jameson, 1). Brown, C. McLean, H. PhiUipps; Mrs J. G. Blythe, and Misses Westwoodand A. Bealc.

Ohdixakv Business, — Mr Worthingtoni laid upon the table certain Otago news papers which had been forwarded to him by the Secretary of the Otago Branch of the Institute. They contained a report of the discussion by the Otago Branch upon the action of the .school inspector in the examination of the Greymouth school in February last. The resolution stated that the inspector in question had exceeded hisright in examining, and had also exceeded the requirements of the syllabus. The Secretary of the Otago Branch had also written asking that some action might be taken in the matter. Mr Worthington stated that he had communicated with ►Sir Kobert Stout upon the matter, and on the 18th of July had received a reply to the eifect that the Minister of Education was of. opinion ".that tho inspector made some de mands upon that occasion that were not justified by the syllabus." This intimation, was thankfully received by the meeting.

Donations.—A vote of thankswasaccorded to Messrs Kidd and Wildman and Mr J. H. Upton for donations of books towards the library of the Institute.

Standing Orders.—The meeting then proceeded to consider the proposed standing orders.

Syllabus ok Ixstrcctiox. —Tlio follow ing report was submitted by the sub - committee, which was appointed last January to consider tho re-arrange menb of the syllabus of instruction in the public schools, and was laid before tho. i members :^-" 1. That the number of com pulsory subjects included in the syllabus is excessive. 2. That the compulsory sub-1 jects for individual examination and mdi-; yidual passes be restricted to reading—in cluding explanation, spelling, and dictation ■ —writing, arithmetic, and composition. 3. That class subjects be divided into two groups, compulsory and optional, (a) Com pulsory group : Grammar, geography, and ; drawing. (l>) Optional subjects : History, JSnglish literature, extra drawing, elemen tary physics, botany, physiology, chemistry (elementary and agricultural), mineralogy, jpr other authorised' subjects, (c) That one scientific subject shall bo selected from the optional subjects, (d) That the additional subjects remain as at present. 4. That in schools with only one certificated teacher, nny two successive atanclards may be c.v amined together in reading, writing, composition, grammar, geography, and in the optional siibject or subjects chosen." —Mr Harrison read reports condemning the proposed syllabus from Inspectors Hill (Hawke's Bay), Bindon, (Wangauui), Hobson (Nelson), Lee (Wel lington), and others. The Otago Board of Education had invited the opinion of mem bers of Boards and Committees, and of ex ]X)rts throughout the country. Fifty-three returns had been received, amongst which were communications from Sir Robert Stout and the Her. Mr Habens. Mr Harrison agreed with the views of the in spectors that the syllabus was excessive.— Mr Hosking moved, '-That no step be taken in the revision of the syllabus." Pre vious to the introduction of the syllabus the examinations hail been carelqsbly con ducted. He agreed with tho report that the syllabus was a laboured one, but tho committee had not considered their work sufficiently, and J&er^geport should be re ferred back to them. they wanted was to have the inspectors, the teachers, and the committees pulling well together. He considered, that ss . the syllabus was only a year old it' sliould be given a fair trial.—-Mr Scott thought that were the syllabus propc ly worked the teachers were equal to the task. He thought the teachers should not lose heart. They had passed a fair percentage. He con sidered that the primary schools would have to do yet more than waa accomplished at present. ("Oh, oh.") He thought the primary schools should have the Kinder garten "at one end, and the matriculation ex amination at the other, to fit scholars for the University:—The Rev. Mr (.'oaten thought, that the present was not the most opportune time to change the eylkbua, as the enemies of the system were oppos itig it upon the ground of expense.-i- Mr Dickenson thought that the real object of education should be, not to fill the minds of the scholars with information, but to make them think. He had told the com mittee in the district hi which he had con trol tbafc he would not get more than 80 per cent, of passes, and he did not get it— (laughter)—but he had something better: he had boys \vjio were thoroughly instructed because they could think. He moved as an amendment, '' That the report be adopted." —This was seconded by Mr Robinson, and «s the hour for adjournment Lad arrived, fee discussion was adjourned until next Meeting. rr~- "r

OUR GOLDFIELDS.

OHINEMUBI

(fEOJI OUR OWN" COKKESPOXUKXT.)

PAiiKOA, Saturday. The list of assays .of samples of pro peculiar to this district wlu'ch you published not lonj>% since appears to have attracted not a little bit of attention, and I am now making arrangements for assaying quite a number pf samples of ore from dif ferent mines, and I will ask you to publish the list and take charge of tho cor responding samples of the ore from which the results were obtained. This is not with a view to create any excitement, but for the purpose of confirming statements previously made, viz, that the very richest specimens of ©re obtainable from a majority of the mines in this district show no gold, and that mdi' cations of the presence of silver are distin guishable only to those whose eyea are accustomed to note the form in which it occurs.

K.\KAyGAHAKE, Saturday. Why don't the Woodstock people remir their water race ? is a question very often put by visitors to this district, and it is one which I now repeat for the benefit of the Company. This nice was constructed about too yeais ago, at a cost of not less than JU},COO, and the owners run the risk of Wrecking the whole concern by neglecting to repair a small break which was made in the fluming by the late flood, and as this could be done for an outlay of about L3O it is somewhat surprising that the Company has not undertaken the work before now. To effect the requisite repairs to this structure would not only save the fluming by enabling it to be filled with water, but it would also supply the neces sary motive power for working the Com pany's stone-breaker, which will be in request for reducing ore during the coming spring. A trial crushing of one ton of quarto from the Imperial mine has just been finished at the Ivanhoe battery for a return of 4oz 16dwt retorted bullion, of which the value has not yet been declared. The stuff was dealt with as above, for tho purpose of comparing the bullion return with that obtained from the treatment of

a 5-ton parcel from the same mine at Eailcy's Mill, and the results will be ; made known in a few days' time. \Y hue and party, tributes in the Rose mine, are now crushing a 6-ton lot : of quartz at the Ivanhoe batt&y, where it i is shaping-fora favourable return, and this | should induce the party to continue cipara, tions. In the Ivanhoe mine there avo three ; parties of fcribufcera at work, and they are all doing well, especially McWilliams Md party, who are breaking out stone from & j reef 3ft thick, and in which gold is freely visible. Since the time of my last visit to the Crown mine a winze lias been started from the interme diate level, and is now down to a depth of about 10ft. At this point tho size of the No. 2 lode is an unknown quantity,as neither of the walls is in sight, and some of the best stone ever obtained from the mine is being grassed daily. Owing to "light air" Heiteman and party, tributers in the Woodstock mine, were obliged to suspend work in their rise at a height of 40ft above the level, and they are now running a. level out to the face of the hill for ventilation purposes. By the 'time this work is accomplifihed,'the tributers will have a large block opened up, and if they can only re deem 50 per cent, of the precious metals contained in this ore, the results will be highly satisfactory to themselves as well as i to°the Company. A start has been made by the tribnters in the Kenilworth mine to " screen" their ore, of which they haye 1 now got a large tonnage.on hand- The No. 1 stone will be resorved for shipment to some of the foreign ore markets as soon as the roads arc tit for its transport, and the No. '2 oro will be sent either to the Ivanhoc Battery or to Itailey's Mill for treatment. Owitaeoa, Saturday. The Smile of Fortune battery is now running one shift on crushing dirt from Farmer and parties' (tribute) section, and judging from the show of amalgam on tho plates tho return should bo quite up to exjjectations. Efforts are being made by Reid and party to get into the old work ings of the Annie mine, which was amongst the iirst locations in this section of the field, and which has now been closed up for many years. At the time this mine was in operation tho owners knew little and ! cared less about ore of any description unless gold was freely visible or easily ob tainable by the mortar aud dish process of I testing aurii'erous.deposita,an.d therefore the ! party who have now #ot it in hand are of ! the opinion thafc.it is quite possible some I good istufi may have bpen overlooked, hence I their desire to gain access to the old work in fAS. •;WvYhi, Saturday, Cleaning up for tho Silverton mine at the Martha battery will take place to-day, and the manager expects a return somewhat above an average of one ounce per tpn from tho'whole parcel treated, which amounted I to about 90 tons. McDonough and party, tvibutors in the ■Martha mine, aro keeping five becw of j stampers employed in tho reduction of ! general crushing dirt from their seotion, and | the Ptutf is shaping for a return whioh will i give them fair wages. All work in the j Union mine has been stopped pending the | result of the negotiations now on foot for I the floating of a large company with suffi cient, capital to thoroughly develop the whole property which em braces a conrider • able area of auriferous country where there are sevei-al well defined lodes that have been - proved to carry gold and silver in re ' munerative quantities. Waitekacki, Saturday. Mining in this section of the field is on | tirely confined to the operations which are , being carried on in tho different mines by tribute parties, who have done fairly well '. jin the p^t. bjut'/nost of the blocks above ' the levfj^si© pretty well exhausted, and capital i^^quired to open up hew ground [ by running' tow levels, for which purpose the conformation of the country generally offers " splendid facilities. This is especially the ■ ' case with regard to the Wiiitekauri mine, from which two parties of tributary ex tracted about [L 20,000 Worth .of gold within . j two year's, and the lode from which this was [I obtained has never'yet been thoroughly ' prospected beneath the present levels.

The Otago Representative Team.

(BY TELEGRAPH. -PHKSS ASSOCIATION.)

Dunedin, Saturday. A football match was played this afternoon between the Otago team selected to go on the Northern tour and a fifteen from the Southland Rugby Union. The weather was miserable, rain falling nearly tho whole of the first Bpell. The ground, after the first few minutes' play, became very slippery and greasy. Otago soon had the leather in Southland's ground, and Diamond fot over the line and scored, but Thomson's ick at goal failed. After some good play, in which, however, the blues (■ tago) placed too much reliance On their backs, Keogh secured another try, just after the colours had been twice forced down; but Thomson's kick at the bars from a difficult angle was

again a failure. In ther seqoud spell the colours struggle hard to equalise xn«*CeH_. but though they played really Wj.. antC tackled in a superior manner [to the Qfcago mon, the latter, when they at lftsta-ealisftelth^ fact that the state of the groun#e^fcually prevented passing and" runatflg, kspfc ths play mostly, ia the colours' quarters. The dribbling and rushes; in which Morns and Isaacs distinguished fcjieiisseb«ss, were several times nearly bete successful. At lost Eraser, passed to Thomsoa, and' W latter potted a goal ia <* second. _ Mo sooner was the ball kicked off than it was back in Southland's quarter, and Fraser following up fast secured another try *or Otago, from which, however, no goal re sulted. Miller nearly secured another try a; minate afterwards, but It only proved a force down. A few mmiites later Fi-aser, in the opin^ou of many, a^ain got in, but as he waa pushed against the corner Hag, it WW g'ven as^a touch-in-goal. Time was dealared shortly after, the Otago team winning by slxpomfes to rut. There is some doubt whether Isaacss one of Otago'e best forvrarda, can set away, &s the Railway department, in whioh he is engaged, refuse to give him leave of ab eevic». , -- _

CORRESPONDENCE.

The li»ngwortUy Mwrrl&Rc.

{To the Editor.)

SiR.-r-lt is worthy of remark in fbhis well known case that the troubles of JtLvs Lang worthy (or Miss Long, as I suppose she should be named) avo due entirely to her not having been married civilly. She was twice tied- once by a Rfiffi&Q Catholic priest in Franco, and again by a Presbyterian minister in Boljrium— to Mr tangworbhy in the " hply bonds, of matri mony," and yet neither, of tliofio knobs were effectual, and ah© was at last compelled to sue merely for breach of "promise" of marriage. But had she, iv ■e&lirn- of these countries, entered the much ehunned Rogtstrar'ts Office, (or what ever they term it there), and1 been married civilly, Mr Langworthy, with double his legal knowledge, would have been unable to prove the marrjage nuMl and void. I know that in New Zealand, sad I presume it is the same in France and Belgium, a false declaration of the bride's age, ff ehe be under ago and*. ,is being married without her parents1 constant, although a criminal offence, does not annul the marriage. New Zealand ladies sopiild be careful when being married by a clergy man to see tft*t the civil forms bo-Vie been attended to. Jn Jflsl hw%'» caw it is, however, perhaps better for her that tho marriage was not leeal.—Simiartha.
