THE ABOLITION OF THE TRAINING COLLEGE.

At the meeting of the Board of Education yesterday afternoon, the recommendation of tfre training College and Visiting Com. mitte'e, that Mr Gulliver's letter re en gagement as Principal of the College should bo forwarded tb= the Government, created some discussion:- At first it was decided to defer the matter for one week, but it was subsequently resolved to consider the report, at the meeting, as several members were a little late. •; ■ , : ' ' The Chairman, Mr Luke,, again lamented the lqss to the country in the abolition of the College, and consequent loss of Che ser vices of Mr Gulliver. He then said the Principal of the Training College had fotf wurded- a statement of the work clone in the institution. It was as follows:— "No. of students who have attended since April, 1881, 109,; &o. of e^-students who are still teaching, in the public schools of the colony; 72 ; No. who have died or who have left the service, 12; No. at present attending, 25 ; average number of uncertifi cated teachers on eorrespohdence roll from 1882 to 1887, 60; No* of pupil teachers un certificated and certificated teachers at tending on Saturday, about 170; pupil I teachers attending classes on Monday and Thursday afternoons, 50. Of the above students 27 matriculated, a few before, most after entering College." . ■ , - Mr Cooper said that the statistics juSb, road really confirmed the wisdom of the, Government in abolishing the College. rlhle cost was too great for the work done. The report showed that only 25 students were regularly attending the CoUege. Mr Luke reminded the Board that the correspondence roll entailed an amount of work, and did a good deal of valuable work amongst the teachers. He had visited the institution last week, and was quite as tonished at the amount of correspondence that required to be attended to. On the motion of Mr Carr it was decided to ask for a return of the work done on Saturday last, and as to whether the time table was adhered to. He did so because he saw that the time had been occupied by Mr Gulliver in giving an address to prove the value of the Training College. Mr Cooper said that he believed that the remainder of the morning was occupiod by Mr Worthington in defending his position. After some further discussion the report was adopted. A letter was also read from the Auckland branch of the New Zealand Educational In stitute, forwarding a series of resolutions passed at the last meeting of the Institute. These have already been published. Tho letter was received, and consideration de ferred.

BOARD OF EDUCATION.

At the meeting of the above body yesfcer day a letter was read from the Education Department, Wellington, notifying the re duction of the capitation grant to the statutory capitation grant of £3 15a. Another letter was read from the Education Department,:intimating that in future tboi'e would be no.povornmont gran,t for children under six years old, or for any who huvo passed the Sixth Standard. The Secretary said that this would cause a reduction of tho Board's income to the extent of over £3,000. After some discussion it was ro solved on the motion of the Chairman, "That the circulars received from the Minister of Education be referred to a com mittee of the whole Board for the purpose of considefring what re-arrancemenb of ex penditure^ must bo mode; the Committee to consult the Inspectors of Schools aa ( to fedubing ■the number of teachers."—lt was also decided to forward a telegram ask ing the Government to exempt coun try schools from the operations of the proposed reduction of School rfge ; also, whether qountry schools would be exempted from the role re "strict" average and " working " average. Couxitoi SchooW; —Mr Brabati bapptorod on behalf of the residents of Tiauranga to request tbat a new schoollibuse should be erected. The matter was referred to Mr Ailrightfr to report, A number of other applications from couutry schools were dealt with.
