BOARD OF EDUCATION.

A meeting of the above body was held at 2 p.m. yesterday in the Board's office, Victoria Arcade. There were present: Messrs Luke (chairman), Carr, Lennox, Upton, Udy and Cooper.

Cjiaibjian's Report, r—This report was read and adopted. Amongst other matters it stated that tho Newton East School Committee had been requested to furnish particulars re the late caning , case in order that thoy might be forwarded to the Minis ter of Education.

Training College Visiting Committee. —The report of this Committee recom mended : In reply to Mr Jeune's letter, your Committee report that the reasons given by the head master for closing t'Jft free night school on the oceasicw of the public inquiry held by tMT Newton School Committee are satisfactory ; also that Mr Reed be relieved at his own request from nightly attendance at the night school, and be replaced by Mr W. H. Newton until the midsummer vacation. With regard to the letter from the City Schools Committee relative to the stoppage of salary in the case of teachers absent from duty without permission, the Committee recommended that a reply be sent to the effect that the Board is pre pared to consider any recommendation for salary which the Committee may make in special cases of teachers absent without leave.—The first two clauses were adopted. The last clause was adjourned on the motion of Mr J. M. Lennox, as he wished to bring for ward a motion dealing with the matter. He gave notice that he would move as fol lows:—"That the following alterations be made in clause 19 of the regulation. After the word ' obtained' and before the word ' every' in the second line, the foL lowing be inserted: ' All teachers absenting themselves from dutyshallhavetheirsalaries stopped during such absence. Any cases of hardship arising from this regulation may be considered on application to the Board.'" Mr Cooper favoured the report of tVie Com mittee being adopted, lie thought that the school committees were the proper pei-sons to state whether or nob a teacher was entitled to payment for absence. Mr Upton thought that such a resolution as that proposed by Mr Lennox would press very hard upon some teachers. The Chairman thought that the Committee ought not to interfere with teachers' salaries. That was a matter entirely for the Board

School Management.—A letter was re ceived from the Government, asking for the views of the Board upon the following points: (1) As to raising the age upon which the capitation allowance is paid. (2) As to the payment of fees for higher stan dards. (3) Whether your Board can make any suggestion as to the most economical working of tha Act. (4) If your Board can suggest any alteration which would improve the syllabus. The letter further stated that tho Committee proposed asking their in spectors, also the various teachers' as sociations, for their views upon the above points.—The consideration of the letter was adjourned for one week.

Christmas Holidays.—Mr S. W. Hill wrote protesting against the shortening of the Christmas holidays. A number of letters were also rend with regard to the midsummer vacations. The Auckland branch of the Teachers' Association wrote protesting against any reduction. . Mr O'Sullivan also wrote pointing out that owing to the examinations coming on during tho holidays, some teachers would be re quired as supervisors. A letter also rcadfrom the Chairman of School Committees, favour ing the curtailment of the holidays. Mr Cooper considered that the holidays were not too long. They would bo doing a wrong both to teachers and scholars in reducing the holidays. He considered that the teachers wore a very hard-worked class, and required some consideration. The truth was, that some parents would rather have the children at school all the year round than be compelled to keep them under their own eye. They seemed to think that the State should train their children altogether. He would favour an eight weeks' vacation at Christmas instead of the few others duriug the year. Eight weeks would afford an opportunity for the teachers to go into the country. He there fore moved, " That it is inexpedient to shorten tho midsummer holidays."— Mr Lennox moved as an amendment, " That the request of the united committees be complied with." He thought that the children were better in school than cramped up at home. Ho looked upon the request of the Chairman as the voice of the people. While he thought a great deal of their teachers, he must say that they had easy times. If they could not work 202 days of 5£ hours a day in the twelve month, or 126 days at 8 hours a day, then the teachers had no right to be getting so much money for so little work. He would certainly say let the holidays be shortened.— Mr Upton supported Mr Cooper's motion, as he thought tha shortening of the holidays was inexpedient at present. For financial reasons alone he should ap prove the amendment.— Mr Udy said that he would vote for the amendment. Hβ thought that it would be no injustice lo shorten the holidays, at the same time he thought it unjustforteachersto.be com pelled to study for examinations during vacations. He would like to see the midwinter holidays entirely stopped, He thought that the Board should pay some notice to the voice of the school committees.—lheChair man said he would vote for Mr Cooper's motion. He would, however, be very sorry to see the midwinter holidays stopped. That was a nice break for the teachers. He drew attention to the regulations dealing with tho length of the holidays which had been formed after a conference of school committees. Clause 18 of the Auckland Educational Act reads as follows with re card to the holidays:-" Class I. In all Schools within a radius of three miles from the Auckland Post-office, and in all other schools which have an average attendance of 100 or more for the last preceding quarter —Christmas, from the Friday next before Christmas Day to the Monday following January 29th (both days excepted); Easter, a week; midwinter, a week (the last m Tune); Michaelmas, a week (the last in SeDtember); also, the following single holi laK Good Friday, Queen's Birthday, the ShdayofthePrinceofWales,andanyother holidays public which the Committee may think it desirable to observe.

CORRESPONDENCE.

HEREKINO VILLAGE SETTLE MENT.

(To the Editor.)

Sib,—Your leading article in last night's Star contained a letter written by a Herekino settler on the 9th insfe. The letter and your remarks thereon will, unless contradicted, lead the public to think that the cause of the famine at Herekino is due to irregular running of the subsidised steamer Oreti ; but this is not so.' The Oreti is sub sidised to make one trip per month. This service commenced in June, and the trips have to be made when the weather will allow. The dates of her running since the service commenced are : June 24th, July 27th, August 25th, October 4th, and November 4th. No trip was run in September, owing to an accident to the Oreti's machinery, but this only caused & delay pf one week past the usual date for running. In October the Northern Steamship Com pany elected to commence an opposition service, the Macgregor being advertised to leave the same day as the Oi - eti, November 4th. The Oreti left, and arrived at Wan gape on Sunday, the sth, and returned to Onehunga on Tuesday, the 7th, having had a most successful trip ; but, unfortunately for the settlers, the goods for the store keepers were sent by the Macgregor, the opposition boat. She did nob leave One hunga until Monday, the 6th, and for some reason not yet made public by your shipping reporter, she did not enter Wangape, but landed her cargo for that port at Hokianga, where it etill is. When the Oreti arrived at Onehunga from Wangape on the 7th, Captain Robertson reported that there were no stores whatever when he left, excepting about three tons the Oreti took for a Mr Powell, all the other storekeepers' goods being on board the Macgregor ; so that I am not surprised to see from the letter written on the 9th that the settlers were nearly starving. But if they were in that predicament then, what must they be now, fourteen days later ? I merely write this note of explanation to let those interested know that the fault of short supplies does not lie with the Oreti.— I am, etc., J. W. Waller.

MR GEORGE STAINES AND NEWTON EAST SCHOOL.

(To the Editor.) Sir,—Jn your Table Talk of last evening, you stated that the people's champion, ondit, has not yetheard the lastof thegallant rescue of Newton East School. You, sir, are evi dently well and promptly posted up in facts. By the same day's post I received a letter as follows :—" Sir, —I am directed by the Committee of the Newton School dis trict to request a public apology from you for interfering with the management of the Newton East School on the 14th inst. Kindly let me hear from you on or before 4 o'clock p.m. on Monday next, the 21st inst., and so prevent the matter being placed in the hands of a solictor. I have the honour to be, sir, your obedient ser vant, S. Brooking, Secretary." Now, sir, having acted as you so graphically described in Stak of Tuesday last by rushing in when screams were heard from inside the school building so loudly as to convey the impres sion that the child from whom they pro ceeded " was being murdered," I fail to see that I have done aught which can be construed as having wilfully disturbed any school, as you imply, unless, as you alsp suggest, that according to the Dotheby Hall principal, my appearance, and not the screams, disturbed tho school. I am at a further loss to under stand the purport of Mr Brooking's de mands. It is not my intention to comply with this arrogance, prompted, I am in formed, by the Committee's reading of your quotation of Section 96, Education Act of 1877, as I consider and am also advised time I was fully justified in my action, hearing a youngster scream out loudly in a manner which would convey the impression he was being murdered. In doing this I feel confident that what I was prompted to do by manly instincts on tho impulse of the moment can never be construed into wilfully disturbing any school, or upbraiding, insulting, or abusing any teacher in the presence or hearing of the pupils in school. If I had done so I should be indeed penitent, seeing as how, according to your report, the little ono cried out before he was hurt, which, I now realise, was very wrong of him to do. —1 am, etc., Geokge Stainjss.
