FAIRY TALES AND JINGLING RHYMES

The City Schools Committee Pro test Attains t any Change in Rcariliig Rooks.

At the ordinary meeting of the City Schools Committeo, held last evening, the Chairman ■(Mr Gorrio) mado reference to tho ani mated discussions now proceeding in the press o.nd Board of Education on a proposal made by Mr Thoo. Cooper that there should bo a change of reading books in the public schools. Consideration of this matter had been postponed at tho last Board meeting, and ho now desired to know whether tho Schools Committeo thought it advisable to take any action.

Mr Usaher said that he had takon tho trouble to look over the Globe Headers now used in tho public schools, and he was pre pared to say that ho nevor saw such a lot of complete rubbish, notwithstanding the opinions of professors to the contrary.

Mr McMaator was of opinion that if the Board made another change in tho reading books, parents would simply ignore it

Mr Farrell said that aa Mr Coopor acknow ledged that tlio Board had made a miatako in their last change of book?, probably he would move that the Board supply now books free of charge in place of the Globe Readers,

The Chairman said that this was a courso that was not likely to bo takon, for tho Board hod no fihnde.

Mr Ussher thought that if tho Board had made a mistake they should boar tho ox fjonso.

The Chairman uaid that it was quito true Hint tho Board had made many changes in tho roading-books without good reason, but *.v the caso of tho Globe Readers not only tho professors thon on tho Board, but also tho head teachers of tho various school*?, wuro consulted, and' I heir subsequent actiou was founded on tho opinions ot a de cided majority. It should bo recollected that although complaints had boon mado seams')the (Hobo Headers, nothing hod yet been proved.

Mr Blades said tho Globo Keadora con tained very littio to which objoction could bo takon. Thoy contained fairy talos, it was true, but so did all school books.

The Chairman agreed with Mr Blades. Some people did not realiao what would bo relished by school children, and could not nnderatand that thoy could be interested and taught by means of "fairy taloa or jingliDg rhymca." Mr Ussher : It is a jingling rhymo.

Sir McMaster sa tl that tho groat bugbear was the frequent changes raado in the school hooka. Such changes meant enormoua expense to families, and ns a matter of fact parents cculd not afford

it. Ho behoved that tho Stau had hit tho riirht nail on tho head in attributing tho changes in books to the influonco oxorcisod in the commission business.

Tho Chairman : I do not think it is any thing of tho kind. You are entirely wrong. Mr McMaster : Well, I know that there ia nothing so hard run for commission as tho book business.

In nnawor to Mr Blades, the Chairman stated that tho new Globe Readers had been ordered about twelve months ago, but that thoy bad only beon compulsory in tho pchools for about a month past. He thought that the Board sbould not bo abused because they had adopted tho opii.ions of professors and teachers who should bo qualified to judge. Personally lie did not think that the introduction of the Globe Readers was a desirable change, but he would certainly defer to the opinions of those who should bo recognised as much moro able judges. Mr McMaster was of opinion that Mr Cooper was aa much to blame as anyone, bocauße ho had aat at the Board whon the change was authorised The Chairman said that Mr Cooper had moved in tho matter at the instance of the Parnell School Committee, which had sent a piotest to the Board againat the use of Noa. 1 and 2 Globe Readers. He found one advantage In the Globe Readers, viz.,that tho printing was better than that of the old booke.

Mr McMaster slid that there waa very little that called for objection but tho ex pense of frequent changes. Tho Chairman said that whilet a change in books would entail groat hardship on parents, teachera would also feel it, because thoy experienced great difficulty in getting payment for books owing to tho dulneaa of tho times, and austained many losses. Mr McMaator objected to the Board mukiog any further change unless thoy saw their way clear to relieve paronts of all expense The Chairman snid the Board was not authorised to do tbat, and if they did the auditors would simply refuao to pass the account?.

Mr Bladea thought that the members of the Board might porsonally bear the ex : penses. Tho Chairman said thia was hardly likely. If only Nos. 1 and 2 Readers were changod in the city schools, the cost would bo somothing like £75 to be divided amongst 10 or 12 mombera, and if the whole of the Auckland public schools were compelled to effect the Bamo chango, it would mean that tho members of tho Board would bo called upon to contribute £10 each.

Mr Uaaher moved, "That thia Committeo enters a protest against any change being made in the proeent reading books, on ac count of the hardship it would bo to tho parents at largo." Mr McMaator seconded tho motion, which was carried unanimously, and this brought proceedings to ?, c'oae.

The Frozen Meat Company's Re clamations.

PROPOSAL TO THE HARBOUR BOARD.

At the meeting of tho Harbour Board yes terday afternoon, the chairman, in pursu ance of notice previously given.moved "That the deferred business re Now Zealand Frozen Meat and Storage Company's leases be now taken into consideration." In moving the resolution, Mr Waddel explained that it was necessary that some definite action should bo taken, as at present 5 per cent, waa being paid on the money expended by the Company in reclamation works. He mu6t point out that there would be another very large claim to be faced by the holders of thia land. He referred to claims for compensation from ownerß of property ir. Emily Place, who had been delayed from" obtainim* possession of their land. That alone would amount to a larce sum. They had just passed resolutions authorising tho raiaing of a loan of £100,000, much of which would require to be expended in harbour worka, probably for shed accommodation, about which a good deal bad been written lately. He might also point out that in tho South the papers did not advertise their defects, but loft that for othera to find out. The exten sion to the Queen-street Wharf and orection of shedding accommodation would cost about £25,U00, and the Quay street Wharf about £11,000. This latter they were bound by honour to erect on account of promises to Mr Firth, who had leased the allotments with a view to orect ing large mills near the water. Then they wero only waiting for authority to build the Ferry Tee, which would be an ad ditional expense of £15,000. Then there would bo the dredger, £23,000. This with other expenditure would dipposo of about £74,000, and the question waa whether the Board were prepared to expend the greater part of the balance in Bottling this matter with the Freezing Company. It would be necessary for a bill to bo passed during the coming session, and if that were to be done, thoy must face the business shortly. They would remember that some time ago tho Board had offered to take over the land, and then it was declined. How, however, the Company had decided to accept the second offer. The matter ought to have been settled long ago, and some might think that as Chaiiman he might have dono differently, but it was only fair that he should explain that he waa committed to the motion when he was away. Whether the results would have been different had he beon atbome,of cousse it was impoaaible to say. However, tbey knew how mattors stood, and it was high time that some settlement was effected. Mr La Roche asked ii he understood that the Board intended to promote the bill re ferred to.

Mr Waddel said certainly not. That action must come from the Company.

Mr McJCenzie seconded the motion, in order that tha matter could be definitely dealt with.

The motion was then adopted without further discussion.

The Chairman next intimated that he was prepared to accept a motion. Mr Lißoche considered that it would be advisable to call a special meet ing to conßidor the matter. They would then be afforded time to make themselves conversant with the whole business. He then moved that the matter be taken into

consideration at a .special meeting of the Board, to bo held on Tuesday next at 2.30 o'clock.

This was ecconded by Mr Stone, and carried unanimously. The Board thon ad journed. The schedule of cost of reclamations C. and D. rendorod by the Frozen Meat Com pany, including their Bharo of tho compen sation fo St. Paul's and Emily Place land owners, amounted to i' 22,779.

CAIN MURDER CASE.

Sitting of the Appeal Court

(BY TELEGRAM!—OWN CORRESPONDENT.)

CttRisTCHURCir, Tuesday. Tiik Appeal Court met here to-day, to coneidor the legal point reserved in 'the Hall case. Mr Chapman opened tho proceedings by reading tho case aa stated by Mr justice Williams, and citod the authorities on which tho evidence was admitted as essential in tho opinion of the judge to establish the administration of antimony by tho prisoner. Had it cot been , admitted, he would probably havo told the jury in the case on what they could eafely act, A memo, put in eaid that the counsel should be per mitted to refer to the language actually used by the judge, thereby also raising the question of tho correctness of the direction. Mr Chapman wont on to read the news paper report of tho summing up. The gist of Mr Chapman's argument was that tho evidon'co was hot admissible, as the acts referred to woro prior to tho case under investigation, and not sub. c equont. lie tho passible accidental administration, Mr Justice Johnson pointed out that what was beforo tho jury was not accidental administration by Hall, but, by somebody. His Honor furthor remarked that tho only question ivns Iho possible connection of ono crime with another.

Mr Justico Richmond : Tho principle you havo to meet is whether two offences can bo co connected together that evidonco of ono can bo taken to be ovidenco in tho other.

Mr Chapman put the following hypothe sis :— Supposing a bank wore robbed and only two could have committed the act, and both wore dismissed ; in tho caso of the doath of tho innocent party, could evi dence be given that tho other man had com mitted a similar robbery previously 1

Mr Justice Johnston : I am free to admit that in the present state of the law such evidence would be inadmissible

At this stage the Court adjourned. So far as can be judged at present, tho argument will occupy at least two days.

After tho rocoss, Mr Chapman wont on citing the Palmer forgory caso, in which the jury wero diroctcd to cxcludo firm their mindß the ovidonco of other forgorioa and discreditable circumstances.

Mr Justice Johnston : That waa only the Attoriioy-Gonoral'a view, and doos not bind us.

The learned counsel enterod into a variety of oases on rocord at great longth. The hearing was adjourned until Wed nesday.

FIRE AT MATAMATA.

At 3 30 o'clock on Saturdoy afternoon a stack of oats belonging to M r J. C. Firth was almost totally destroyed by lire. The stack was situated at Mr Firth's Matamata farm, and was valued at £250. Tho lire waa so intense that a thrashing machine caught fire, but it was soon tiken to a place of safety, and tho flames extin guished beforo any real damage waa done. All hands then turned their attention to saving a large barn near tho blazing stack, in which woro stored about 250 sacks of oats. Some of tho men mounted tho roof, while others brought tanka of water and assisted to empty tho barn. Their labours resulted in saving the born, and during the succeed ing night watch was kopt in order that the fire from the smouldering stack might not bo comraunicatod to any of the eidjoining buildings. Every effort has been mado to discover the origin of the lire, but hitherto without success.

HARBOUR BOARD

At tho meeting yostcrday a lottor waa road from Joeeph Scott objecting to tho stato monts mado at mcoting that damage had beon done to tho machinery on Dredger 121 through caroloesnosa, and requesting that the matter bo more fully explained. Some discission took placo on tho letter, which was finally referred to tho Works and Tariff Committee, with a requost that tho whole matter be reported upon. The re port of the Works and Tariff Committee waa road and adopted, with tho exception of Clause 1, re cite for Naval Brigade's boat Bhed, which, on tho motion of Mr Niccol, seconded by Mr Winks, waa roterrod back to the Committee. Mea?ra T. and S Morrin and Co.'s tender was accepted for the supply of weighing macbinoa for tho wharf. Various other correspondence was dispoeod of.

The New Hospital.

(To the Editor.)

Sir,—As tho now additional wards of tho Hospital are approaching completion some thing should bo dono, if possible, to relievo the cold, choorlees appearance of the baro walla. May I ask your assistance in obtaining a fow pictures to decorate the wards? Many pationts havo to etoy months in bed, and all who have aufferod from any long illness know what additional suffering it is to have nothing to relieve the monotony of a sick room. Any of the illustrations of the "Graphic" and other papers would be acceptable, and if those who have no pictures would send a few shil lings to help towards tho cost of framing, they would assist in roliovinc the suffer ings of many a patient. I have already eeverol ongravinga promised, but thoy will all require to be properly framed, so that thoy can be easily cleaned. Any con tribution sent to the Hospital, or to my house, will bo gladly acknowledged.— Faithfully yours, G. TOUSSAINT GIRDLER.

LATER EUROPEAN NEWS

A conflict occurred on February 16th between a forco of polico on their way to execute a number of evictions and a part of the population of Donglin, Co. Kerry. Tho people barricadod tbo roads, and in some places thoy built atono Walla acrOsa them. Tho police was at first driven away. Thoy re-formed, and attacked tho people with batona and clubbed riilos, forcing thoni to givo way. A numbor of mon and women wero injured. The Pauaniii Canal The latest reports from thia work nro to tho effect that it ia not boing prosecuted with vigour at present, owing to n lack of labourers, Tho brat dredgor ia IB milos inland from Aspiowoll, on tho Atlantic; but tho channol will have to be widened to twice its present capacity.

Many of tho unfortunate pasaengera, pinned in the debris of the cars, could not be extricated, und wero burned alive. The Warlike Situation. The Berlin "Nachrichtn," of Feb. 10, says: —The threatening character of the situation across tho western frontier ia bo coming much moro acute. In view of the fact that forts bavoj already bean constructed to shelter 100,000 men, and preparations made to shelter a similar number around Bclfort, wo have, beyond doubt, to deal with nothing else than the strengthening of tho French line to enable them, at tho com mencement of hostilities, to throw a largo force across tho frontior, and thus transfer the held of operations to Gorman territory. A London cablegram of February 16th Bays that a general war fs regarded by tho four Great Powers aa and in Downing-Btroet tho situation is the all absorbing topic. Tho jingo element oppose any scheme for tho neutrality of tho Suez, that will prevent Eng lish ironclads reaching the East in time of war. They prefer fighting for the reten tion of the delta to allowing tho canal to pass out of British hands, and will offer tho French territorial compensation elsewhere. A Cloud Burst. A terrible cloudburst or waterspout oc curred at Susanville, Ohio county, Cali fornia on February sth. The inhabi tants of a canon near the place named were Btartled about four o'clock in the after noon by a dull, heavy roar, and on running to their doore, were astonished to see the canon rapidly filling with water. The rain waa pouring in torrents, but realising their danger the villagers left their houses and sought bighor ground. Hardly had the frightened people gained a place of safety before an immense volume of water came down from a dark cloud bang ing over tho mountain, carrying everything before it, and leaving destruction in its track. Two persons were drowned and many housos washed away. Cholera. Great excitement prevails throughout Chili at the appearance of cholera on its boundaries. Strict quarantine wa9 enforced against vessels coming from suspected ports, and the Andean passes on the Argentine frontier wore closed, but the disease, according to the latest dispatches, had Burmounted all barriers and reached the Pacific shore. A correspondent writing from Chile, says ; " Time and space would fail me were I to attempt to discourse upon the clouds of decrees relative to the preservation of the public health which have lately been issued. From the Argentine Republic telegraphic news for some days past hae been of an exceedingly alarming character and in Mendez, at the foot of the Cordil leras, on the other aide, and its neighbour hood, no fewer than forty cases have been reported iv one day. They epesk of bodies unburied, of houses abandoned, and of children attacked by tho disease, and lelt to perish on the wayiide by their relative?, who were fit ting southward for safety.
