The main thing, however, when different books are alniofsfc equally good, is not the book, but) the way in which the teacher is., able ,to use it — skilfully or otherwise. We recommended the Board to , use the Globe Series and cannot see any reason to change our opinion of the value of that series and certainly think that in thesa times it would be a great hardship on parents to put them to the charge of a change, seeing that (in our opinion) tho present books, properly used, answer the ends of a good series of Readers." The question "Whether it is desirable in view of the cost of parents in purchasing new reading books, to continue the u6e of the Globe Readers in Standars V and VI instead of substituting for them . Longmans' Readers, which have been sug gested for adoption in the lower standards ?" Having been also submitted to the head masters of city schools for their opinion, replies were received as follows : —ln favour of the Globe Readers for Standards V. and VI. : Messrs Worthington, Harrison, Bailey, Healey, Coates and Dickinson. In favour of Longmans, Mr Harfc. The Chairman therefore said that no change should ■be made in the reading books. Mr Cooper opposed the motion; and so did Messrs Upton and Goldie. ■ " The resolution was negatived, and this following amendment by Air Cooper wils carried: " That the following reading books be sanc tioned for use in the public schools to be introduced gradually from after January 1888.

Election Notices- TO THE ELECTORS OF NEWTON. Gentlemen,— I have the honour to offer myself as a candi date for your suffrages. I advocate Retrench ment, so that our Expenditure may not exceed our Eevenue, fostering Local Industry, the Settlement of the People npon the Land, the Abolition of the Property Tax, and the sub stitution Of a Land and Income Tax. I remain, Yours truly, A. G. LEE. mO THE ELECTORS OF NEWTON. Gentlemen,— Having received a numerously-signed and representative requisition desiring me to stand as a candidate for your district, I have much pleasuxe in accepting the invitation. I am., Yours truly, EDWD. WITHY. rriO THE YOUNG COLONIALS IN OR NEAR TO AUCKLAND. In connection with hie purely colonial branch of electoral work, Mr J. Aitken Connell hereby invites the support, aid, and co-operation of young colonial hands. Gentlemen willing to act in connection with this branch of electoral work must have one or other of the following quali fications :— ■; 1. They must have been accustomed to a country life; 2. or, They must be members of football, cricket, lawn tennis, or other club for outdoor sport or amusement; 3. or. They must be, or have been, membersof tho volunteer force of the colony; i. or. They must have been born in the colony. Gentlemen inclined to accept this invitation are requested to communicate at once with Mr Wm. T. Davies, Fort Street, next door (but nearer Queen Street) to G. Binney & Son's Auction Mart, who will enrol them; and if any traitor attempts to come among my ycung colonial supporters, I beg to say that from" .the bottom of my heart I pity him. As I have suffered not a little in the past through traitors, I make this move against them, and if they think they may disregard it—well, let 'em— that's all. • ■ . J. AITKEN CONNELL. P.S.—The young colonial supporters will have nothing to do with tho electoral work in the Eden district, .which will bo entirely managed by my working committeo of Eden electors, but I have work to do for the colony which I cannot do unless the young colonial hands will aid and assist me. See my reply to requisition in Auckland Star of 13th and 11th inst,-J. A. C. mO J. AITKEN CONNELL, ESQ. Mount Eden, July 12,1887. Sir,—Wo, the undersigned Electors of Eden_ having heard your views on tho present deplor able condition of our Colony, havo come to the conclusion that you area fit and proper person to represent pur interests at the next Parlia ment Wo also regret that you havo been unable to obtain a fair hearing at your meetings. We bog to assure you that the persons who have interrupted and annoyed you are not Electors of Eden; wo therefore trust that you will see your way clear at an early date to address a mooting olbonafide electors. We arc, sir, ; . - Yours most respectfully, Ghas. A. Macaneny John Campboll Thomas Wyatt Wharton B. D. R. Porcival Walter Smith Wilton Lawson Henry T. Herbets Peter Smith"' Horace Corbett A. J. Corbott Ignatius Graham Waltor Clayton Peter Fleming H. N. Browne Jas. H. Peters •. : C.A.Taylor William Simpkins 11. G. Armstrong Arthur Graham Thos. Harkness David Shortt mO THE GENTLEMEN SIGNING THE JL REQUISITION. Gentlemen,—lt has affordod mo extreme gratification to receivo this morning your spon tanoous requisition expressing your approval of mysolf as a fit and proper person to represent your interests in Parliament. I may say that I quite agree with you that the persons who persistently interrupted mo alike at St* Sepulchre's Schoolroom on the 4th inst., and more unfairly after tho acceptance by them of tho conditions I advortised at the Opera House on Monday night are not, excopting perhaps in a microscopic proportion, electors of Eden. 1 may add that not only do I know who they are not, but I know well enough who they are. It has suited my purpose hitherto to face alone the utmost force which they were capable of bring ing against me which was certainly considerable and clevorly organised. It, now suits my purpose to put an end to it, and I have taken my own measures to do so, which 1 think are likely to prove tolerably effectual. If any man hereafter, at any of my large public gatherings in Auckland, persistently interrupts me with the evident purpose of endeavouring to prevent my thoughts and wordsfrom reaching the audience, I beg to inform him that if the consequences of his conduct should prove of a surprising and unpleasant character he will have himself alone to blame. Any individual harbouring the in tention after, this warning of .disturbing any public meeting at which I speak must be pre pared to take the consequences imposed by the Polico Offences Act, 18SJ. I think even tuo enemy must admit that I have given them every fair chance of displaying their hostility. I now feel' that it is necessary in the interests o f public order to make a move against them and if they are i wise mon they will hereafter, keep out of my; road. '.With regard to your request that I should at an early date address a meeting of bonaflde electors, I may explain that in standing for Parliament I have two distinct and separate purposes to serve which I must keep in view—the one is to win the Eden seat, the other is to aid in influencing public opinion throughout the colony in con. nection with the election on, subjects which! deem of vital importance to the well-being , , and even, perhaps, to tho very life of the colony. This last is, in my rnihd, the liioro important matter of tho two, and in, order to tho effectual carrying of it out on. my part, it ie absolutely necessary that I should, early in the ejection address: large meetings of the electors of the colony in Auckland. . j ; , ; I trust the electors of Eden will believe that I adopt the plan of campaign which will be ad vertised in Thursday or Friday's Star under a due sense of the propriety and necessity of treating the olectors of Eden, whom I hope to succeed in winning as my future constituency, with proper respect and courtesy. , If I fail in satisfying any elector that it is my sincero desire to do this, I venture to ask him to suspend judgment in the meantime, and not hopelessly and finally condemn me. I hope this evening when! meet for the first timo my working com mittee, to obtain their approval of the course which I will to-night lay before them. And again, I beg to say that I want no man to attend my meeting to-night unless he is prepared to yield me his loyal and hearty support. • Thank' ing you, gentlemen, most sincerely for your ex. tremely kind and wholly unsolicited expression of approval and confidence. I remain, Your most obedient servant, ;'j i J, AITKEN OONNJfILL. Fert'Btfteji, July |Btb, JBBf f



Election Notices. TO J. AITKEN CONNELL. Esq., (CANDIDATE FOR EDEN). We, the undersigned, electors of the district, -are desirous of testifying our adioiraUon and appreciation of the wise policy advocated by you at your meetings, and of the straight forward manner in which you have stated unpalateable hometruths to a very turbulent audience. We cordially sympathise with your noble efforts to secure the introduction o£ the Bible to our Godless secular schools, and we earnestly wish that you will not be daunted by factious opposition. Though residing at too great a distance from the city to attend your meetings, yet as Electors of Eden, we have perused with very great interest your admirable politioul speeches as reported in tho Stab, and we have been greatly impressed by the courage you have shown to state your views undismayed by ignorant inter ruptions. J Assuring you that you may rely on us for support, we subscribe ourselves :— ■ J ohn Brierley, J.P. 1 saac Jones A ndrow Caw S am Dixon I sidore Sera . O liver Holmes T nomas Scarrotto F red. W.

P., The Grange Villa (As revresenting the numerous electors of Eden signitig the requisition, and his other ■ , followers.) My Dear Mr Bkierly— ■l'o attempt to convey to your mind or to the mind of th at numerous an d most intelligent body of Eden electors who, I doubt not, for good and sufficient reasons, rank as your followers, and whose wishes that you should present the requisition tome personally were only defeated by the untoward but, I doubt not also, uncon trollable circumstances which imperatively demanded your personal presence at Heleas villc—l say to attempt to convey to your mind, or to their minds, the feeling of satisfac tion with which. I pernued your flattering requisition, is, I feel, altogether futile, and. indeed so entirety beyond my power, that in despair I abandon the attempt, and must, therefore, leave it to a man of learning, of feel ing, and of culture, like yourself to imagine. I may say, my dear Mr Brierlv, that I abso lutely pine for that meeting which an unhappy fate—in some way or another connected with Helensville—has denied me to-day. To meet men of your evident refinement; and delicacy I need scarcely say cannot bus afford me a pleasure which I instinctively feel must neces sarily exceed all the meaner joys of existence 1 havo hitherto known. The touching manner in which you verify the bona fides of your own and the other signatures to the requisition by the addition of the mysterious symbols which we are ac customed to associate with the ideas of high standing and personal integrity on the part of the person entitled to affix them to his signature, the extreme thoughtfulness with which you anticipate and seek in an effectual and wholly unimpeachabld manner to allay even the shadow of suspicion in the mind of a person of such a simple and genial a nature as my own, by your accompanying letter. Las, I feel, placed me under an obligation which I can never ade quately discharge. It must however, at all hazards, be publicly acknowledged. So flattering is the estimate, my dear Mr. Brierly, that I have framed of your interesting, character, that I feel that I cannot properly dis charge my dmy to you without suggesting, and even urging seriously upon you the duty you owe to yourself and to the colony, of permitting yourself to be nominated at the approaching election for a seat in tho House of Representa tives. I can assure you, my dear sir. that in your, appreciation of the necessity for the verification of Important documents, in the use of certain terms employed to express the ardent state of admiration to which J. have reduced yourself and your followers'by my truly noble behaviour on recent public occasions,: more particu larly by the use of one of the terms contained in your accompanying letter, and from other internal evidence which the requisi tion and the other accompanying document and oven the envelope bears. I have formed the conclusion that you do yourself serious injustice to allow professional talent of so marked a character to hide itsef under the thin and comparatively obscure mantle of a Justice of the I can assure you, my dear Mr Brierly, -that ■ with a little judicious training you.would be an ornament to the legal profession, and if you stand for a seat in the House you might perlmps conic day or other aspire to become a Minister of the Crown; 1 have known, I will not say stranger things, but I will say quite as strange things happen in New Zealand before, as your actually becoming a Minister of the" Crown. : Should you. as I have not a doubt you will, adopt my t advice, permit me to recommend for your serions consideration tlie advisability of contesting cither the Newton or Ponsonbyscats, It is, 1 feel sure, now that I have your porsoiml assurance of attaolnuent to myself, perfectly plain to you and your followers that the Eden Electors are determined to have no other representative but myself. Eden then is of course out of tho question. But so deeply am I interested about you, that I have to-day made some considerable enquiries on the subject, and I find that you are personally well and intimately known to the great i mass of the Newton Electors. In these Election matters please accept the advice of one who knows just the least bit. in the world of what lie is talking about, and announce yourself without further ado for Newton. Delays, my dear friend, particularly in these times, are dangerous. Should you. howevei", be mad enough to dis regard friendly advicfs and really think of standing for Eden (where Eden is concerned, as a " tactician," I must consider even so impro bable a contingency as that), permit me to advi=e you to renew your former intimacy with our mutual frond, Sir Georgo Grey. 1 fancy I can detect in recent deliverances of that high political authority a slight (possibly I am fanci iul), just a .very slight, indication of a disposi tion to help you. Your merits are of course quite unknown to the genoral public, but your old friend, equally with myself, recognises, I know, your nierit. You may bo surprised at this, but, my dear Brierly, you may rely upon it lam correct Do not lot any little temporary (for I can assure you it is but temporary), estrangement with the great man I refer to lead you io doubt this. Do nothesitate, therefore, if yoit really desire Eden,,to run for it, or permit .the friendly feel ing so manifest on the face of your requisition to deter you from declaring for Edon. 1 can assure you my, dear Brierly, that the esteem I entertain for you, since the receipt of your ad niirable requisition is so deep that it will not be in tho least disturbed by any little passage at arms we may have in open arena. You maybelieve this, my dear Briorly, when I venture to tender to you advice even unasked fprbyyou,; You must do something to waken up the-electors." Now sirqpose* yoii came out strong as a " patriot." Confidentially I may say, that 1 detest patriots. My suspicion of these interesting individuals has always been, it is now, deep and strong; but this unhappy sceptical habit is due to my early familiarity with the writings of that great, but much mistaken and most unfortunate man to whom I referred at the Opera , House on Monday Inst— David Hume. Fortunately for you, my dear Brierly, the bulk of the electors arc not. so deeply imbued with the suspicion of patriots as I arc, and for eloctioii purposes a ' patriot is, as Polonius would say, r ' good." ■ Now, if you are yourself a patriot, enlist the aid and lifting power (by the by, no one better knows the efficacy of this. I. am sure, than yourselt) of a-" great statesman," and if you only hold out one linger you n * a & a A SO secure ; the,.variable assistance of the Premier of the Colony. Surely among you. between you, or all together, you will soon enough make short work of an obscure indi vidual like myself, who is content to aspire (but hei does-aspire to that) to be recognised as "an old colonial hand. .Bvthcby, my dear Briorly, talking of scep ticism (I cannot for the life of me understand why I should communicate all this to you, unless it is that your masterpiece, the requisition, has won my heart). I say, talking of scepticism, I am almost ashamed to confess that my suspicions of Patriots extend, though in a somewhat modified degree, to "great statemen." My experience of these individuals has been a singularly unhappy one. * a . m . afraid that short ns my career as a politician has been, I should have been in politics, as in times past I have been in philoso phy rcauoed to utter scepticism and despair, had not the good old "common ssnse" idea nblped me onco more on my feet In conclusion, my dear B'rierly, permit me to requi-styou to convey my sincere thanks and kindest regards to that interesting, and I doubt ?nr, ffi Person you so .informally address (on the outside of theenvolope) as Mary. ■ Hie promptitude and eflect with which that Vi on - an Can ' icd out your instruction to forward the important requisition by " Bus," t« ™ l 'f 18 ? dln my - renst tho keenest anxiety to make her acquaintance. I should certainly have sent her a epocial menage of thanks by the lad who deUveyed the



Election Xoti'cs. requisition atmy oificeto-day.buthe disappeared after delivery of his missive with a rapidity which perplexedmy simpleand confiding nature. Can you explain this ; 1 confess it puzzles me altogether. .„ Hoping, my dear Brierly, that you will soon return from Helensville (alas, unhappy Helens ville, when deprived of the light of your presence) and a/ford me the pleasure oi your personal acquaintance. I am, yours gratefully, J. AITKEN CONNELL. P. S.—Please convey my grateful thanks to the numerous electors signing the requisition. I find they are none of them on the roll, out x feel certain they would vote f orjme if they coma. By some strange mistake your own name, too, J. -t , - s. .The Minister of Justice is in Auckland at present. See him at once, and get the tellow dismissed from the service who is responsioie for this trulyridiculous blunder.—J.A.C. PP.S.—Let me calm your fears; my seat upon that mysterious substance you refer to acrosti cally, but which I have never hitherto been able to define to my (defective?) imagination, is all right. In case of any further anxiety of your self or of any other of my anxious friends about the impaired condition of my nervous system, I refer you to our well-known citizen, Dr. Hames, who, I believe, is in a position (although I nuist confess I have not consulted him specifically upon the point, but upon another point) to re assure you. If Dr. Haines, from the amount of extra work I thus throw upon Mm, is disposed to consider the matter in a strictly professional light, well he must send in ■" his bill, which I must make up my mind at all hazards to face. This branch of work has hitherto been one of the heaviest I had to face, andlambeginning.togetjust a little tired of it. Old Colonials like work, and I may say a good deal of work, but there is a limit even to their powers, and unless I can get ■Dγ Haines to aid me I begin to feel that I may sink under the pressure of this branch of election work. [Mr Connell, at 9.53 a.m., on Friday, 15th inst, immediately on being informed by me that Mr Tole had retired from the contest for Eden, pro duced the foregoing reply to the requisition, covering ten pages of manuscript.] 10.56 a.m.—Mr Connell now instructs me to hand the manuscript to' the Printer, without alteration, with instructions to see that the Stab reader, after carefully comparing the same, sends to Mr Connell's office three copies marked "firstand corrected proof of Mr Connell s reply to the Requisition," each of which is to be signed with the readers name for verification. These proofs so signed will afford. Mr Connell thinks, satisfactory evidence of Mr. Connell's opinions before knowing any thing of Mr. Tole's announcement of his retire ment from his candidature for Eden, I now proceed to the Star Office, and will give these instructions. Any alterations or additions to the manu script as written last night will be at once apparent by comparing the certified first proof with the answer to the requisition as to be pub lished in to-night* Stab.
