I think it is iH&re should be a full number of local representatives honseholders on that odcasion, and that it is the dufy of)the ■ present chairman to take steps to bring about the election of a * new member.Ac;,: 'W: - ? Households!:. [The Education Act omits to make any , prevision for disqualificationof members, of Sehool Committees, on account of non: attendance.. We presume, therefore, that it ia axpectedlthat the School, ;C ommittee themselves make a standing Prder or byelawon the subject. Clause 64provides (inter aKa), that aU vscanoies on . School Committees, occasioned. otherwise than by effluxion of e .time, shall be filled up by the remaining members of the Committee.— e».'0.1
