SENIOR INSPECTOR O'SULLIVAN AND THE EDUCATION BOARD.

Animated Discussion.

At the meeting of the Board of Education yesterday afternoon, Mr O'Sullivan's letter in answer to the Board's request to be fur nished with proof of the allegations con tained in his inspectorial report came up for consideration. '

Ihe Secretary having read the letter, whicl-Uias been already published by us, Mr >_-arr rose and moved " That the Board regrets that Mr O'Sullivan should have,' in his report for ISSG, expressed opinions whic.i are at variance with the official reports on schools of himself and his fellow inspectors, and is glad to find that "in reply to the request for proof he admits that the charges were made against administration based on very slight foundation, and that he was largely influenced by imaginary fears." After emphatically . denying that he was biassed against Mr O'Sullivan by religious' feeling, the speaker went on to assail Mr Moss for as sisting to bring about this state of things in the educational system, which had been generally condemned. He went on to say that Mr O'Sullivan's report had created un necessary alarm, and should not have been published until accompanied by the reports of the inspectors. Mr Can* then passed on to charge Mr O'Sullivan with ill-temper, and to quote fr&m private letters in sup port of the charge. Mr Cooper rose to protest. He wished to know if teachers had furnished the infor mation contained in the letters.

Mr Carr answered in the affirmative. Mr Cooper thereupon asked for their names.

Mr Goldio objected

Mr Can- refused to divulge tha name.. No teacher would dare to writs openly against an inspector and retain his position under the Board. Kg expressed his deter mination to support tho present system of appointing and removing teachers. Mr Upton opposed the motion, which he did not understand. He was pleased that the somewhat alarming tone of Mr O'Sullivan's report had not been borne out in its entirety. His mind had been re lieved by tho admission in tho supple mentary letter that tho schools were in a fair condition. The Senior Inspector's aim had been to sound a note of warning, and he agreed with his protestagainsfc the system of appointing teachers.' At the same time he did not agree with him that his charges had been proved by Mr Rice's admissions. After citing three proposals made at tho last meeting of the Board to appoint un suitable teachers, Mr Upton went on to argue that an inspector was better fitted than a head teacher to advise the Board re the appointment of teachers. The Board required skilled advice. He fully admitted that great evils arose when Mr O'Sullivan was adviser to tho Board, and he did not wish that system returned to. At the same time Mr Rice was not fitted to take Mr O'Sullivan's place. He had never inspected or taught in a s.hool, and yet he had become the Board's skilled adviser. The Chairman came forward with cut and dried resolutions upon every matter, based upon information furnished by the Secretary. He thought the three inspectors should meet, consult, and arrange their methods of procedure. He moved as an amendment, " (1) -That applications for employment be considered by the Board once a month. That such applications, prior to being brought before the Board, be referred to the Inspector in the town dis trict for his report. (2) That the Chair man, with the Inspector in tho town dis trict, be empowered to decline any applica tions for employment when they may con sider the applicant manifestly unsuitable. (3) That applications for removal and for promotion be considered by the Board once a month. (4) That such applications, prior to being brought before the Board, be re ferred to the Inspector in the town district for his report. (5) That urgent applications for temporary help be dealt with by the Chairman."

Mr Goldie expressed his intention to sup port the resolution ; at the same time there wa3 a portion of the amendment which would enlist his favour. He showed that in the cases cited by Mr Upton, the Board had voted almost unanimously against the appointments. As for Mr O'Sullivan s inspectoral report,npon analysis it proved to contain nothing. Of the 88 schools in Mr O'Sullivan's district he had only examined 3'i of them separately, that is, at a time, apart from that of his inspection, and if the districts had been badly arranged the fault was his own, for he himself had ar ranged them. Instead of giving prooiof the statement that teachers were wrongly ap pointed, Mr O'Sullivan fell back nponMr Cooper's wild and lawyerhke statement that teachers were appointed for their good looks or recommendation of his parson.: Now ' no member of the Board knew less than Mr Cooper how teachers were ap pointed, for the very simple reason that Inn Court duties prevented him attending the Committee meetings at which the, appointments were made. As Co trie, necessity of appointing teachers upon the inspector's recommendation it was a cutiotis fact that of 30 teachers dis missed during tho past lb months .[The, Chairman : '34] 2G had been mg*sffi the advice or recommendation of Mi O bul livan On the other band, of 100 teachers appointed by the Board after investigating thdr credentials and receiving reports from their head teacher,, only 5 had P^f in eflicient. That proved the value ol the Board's present system., Mr -Of*™* 01l to refer to the appointment to Devon port school of Mr Benge, who, he said, had S the school to the first rank and a very bi-h standard of efficiency. As for J& a feed non-necessity of the Whan t .rata school, the Board built it upon the ftrong recommendation of Inspector Fu ler. Thelrarimu Valley school was .a- building upon which, after several yem^free oceu- S the Board had spent L 75, getting a SS for its free use for 5 *%*&* ; .vm_» .- ~. fen t0 deal -writh a ?n°tfe background 6 It was a polite way 3 sayin. tS Mr O'Sullivan's allegations werfuntrue, imaginary and tbat be had •nr.real groundwork for what he said Swt maintained that those a egaUons S Vl _om P^e - knowledge'as other mem ?__« of the Board of the manner m which Laches were appointed. Perhaps it was teachers we ig assess this com flS uhfairnesa of Mr Carr reading deZZT from anonymous letters aga ns m O'lulUvan The teachers who had Elnspiftob^ a M?Udy supported the resolution. ,; .:, TheSSn said he had been pained by Mr O'Sullivan's sensational report. The

inspectors had already as much work to do as they could carry out, and he would not therefore support the reference of applica tions to the inspectors. He could not sup port either proposition before the meeting, and if he had the chance he would move instead, "That Mr O'Sullivan's report be received, and no further action be taken in the matter."

Mr Upton asked and obtained leave to modify his amendment by leaving out the second clause.

Mr J. M. Clark in supporting Mr Upton's amendment, admitted that Mr O'Sullivan had not ' proved his particularised alle gations, but 'maintained that the In spector was right in his contention that the Board had refused to take advice regarding the appointment and removal of teachers from tho officers who were best able to give that advice.

Mr Lennox twitted some members of the Board who made grand speeches with being conspicuous by their absence from Com mittee meetings. He admitted the value o Mr O'Sullivan's educational services, but then the gentleman had been remark ably well paid for them. His inflam matory report was unsupported by proofs. Again, of the SS schools in his own district he had left no less than 27 uninspected. He condemned Mr Carr's reading of anony mous, letters, but Mr O'Sullivan had also stabbed his co-inspectors in the dark by at tacking them in his report.

Mr Can- briefly replied,

By arrangement it was decided to treat as separate resolutions Mr Carr's and Mr Upton's propositions.

Mr Carr's resolution was then put, with the following result: — For : (4) Messrs Can*, Goldie, Lennox and Udy. Against: (4) .Messrs Upton, Cooper, Clark, and the Chairman. The Chairman also exercised his casting vote against the resolution, which was accordingly rejected Mr Upton on Mr Goldie's suggestion altered the term " month " in his motion to "fortnight.*'

After some discussion the amended motion was put and lost, upon the Chairman's casting vote, the division being: For: Messrs Upton, Goldie, Cooper and Clark. Against: The Chairman (two votes), and Messrs Udy, Carr and Lennox.

Matters were thus left as they wero be fore. It was then resolved "That tho inspectors' reports, and the memorandum of the secretary with reference to Mr O'Sul livan's report, be sent to the head teachers."

What is Blight's Disease?

So much has recently been said regarding " Bright's Disease " that we give our readers a diagnosis of the disease expressly pre pared by a medical man :—

Blight's disease of the kidneys consists of such a degeneration of the tissues of tho kidney, that it loses its full power to separate the urea or urine from the blood. The flow of blood through the kidneys is retarded in the minute vessels, congestion follows, and, instead of the urine only passing through the walls of these minute cells, the albumen and fibrine, "the life properties of the blood," escape, the poisons remaining. Eventually the entire blood becomes thoroughly cor rupted, and ruins every organ in the system. There arc various names given to disordered conditions of the kidneys, such as albuminuria, unemia, nephritis, fatty de generation of the kidneys, inflammation of the kidneys, &c M &c, but they are all allied to the dreaded Blight's disease, and will „ eventually terminate in that fearful malady. Indeed, many persons aro carried oil by insidious kidney diseases without really over knowing what ailed them. " Blight's disease has no symptoms of its own, but lias the symptoms of every other disease you can think of." Albumen and casts may or may hot bc.presont, and the specitic gravity is not an absolute test. If a. man breaks a limb he will expect to feel pain in the injured member, but in kidney disease he may chiefly suffer in the other organs of the body. Tho secondary symptoms of Blight's disease are among the commonest ailments of humanity, and their ordinary occurrence disarms popular suspicion.

" Oh," exclaims the man of active life, who does not feel as well as he used to, " 1 haven's any Bright's disease !" Pre cisely! Yon do nob feel as well as formerly. Your head aches oftener and your eyesight suddenly proves faulty. The verdict of a celebrated authority on the subjeeb is—" These symptoms are a sure forerunner of Bright's disease." You' have had a recent and mysterious attack of asthma; you have a hard cold on your lungs which you have been unable to dislodge -you have spit bloody mucous ; you havo felt a new and singular sen sation of heaviness in the region of the heart; you havo a great depression of spirits without any known cause ; you have found it impossible to eat Avhatever and whenever you wish ; your stomach has been very sore, your appetite feeble, your bowels irregular; a mysterious weariness comes upon you ; your muscular system seems utterly helpless. The highest authorities tell us that all these symptoms are sure in dications of Bright's disease ! Whatever disease affects the kidneys pro duces the same effect in the liver, and the purging of blood, nausea, vomiting of bile and" food, indigestion, constipation, piles, dizziness, persistent diarrhoea, coming oa to a person who has always been robust, are certain premonitions of Bright's disease. Having made a tour of the body and finding no other organs which it can destroy, then the disease returns to the kidneys ; the back apnes intolerably, the urine is dark, full of brickdus- deposit, and ropy ; casts appear, albumen is abundant; then come muscular relaxation and nervous prostration ; puffs appear under tho eyes, the countenance is pale and wears an appearance of fright, convulsions ensue, the fatal diarrhoea or pneumonia sets in, and death is the end. With some patients the disease runs slowly and for years. With others it comes as a thief in the night. Note these facts :-~ More adults arc carried off in this country by chronic kidney disease than by any other malady except consumption.— Thompson. Deaths from such diseases aro increasing at the rate of 250 per cent, a decade.— Edwards. Bright's disease has no symptoms of its own, and may long exist. without the knowledge of th 6 patient or practitioner, as no pain will be felt in the kidneys or their vicinity.— Roberts. In the fatal cases—and most cases havo hitherto been fatal—the symptoms of diseased kidneys will first appear in extremely different organs of the body, as stated above.— Thornp- Only when the disease has reached its final and fatal stages may the usual symptoms of albumen and casts appearin the water, and will great pain rack the diseased organs.—Thomp son '•'..*. . , There is but one remedial agent m the world which has ever cured a pronounced case of Bright's disease, and has thus in spired the confidence of the physician, tho patient, and the public, and that is Warner's safe euro.
