AUCKLAND.
January 27
The Board of the Grammar School Governors has carried the following resolution, moved by Judge Fenton, " That the board of governors concur in the opinion of the Boyal Commission on education that the head master should be a graduate of a university." The motion, which is levelled at the present head-master, and is considered to be the first step towards a complete change in the school, excited a long and animated debate, and was carried by five to four. At the Police Court to-day a large number of boys were sentenced to a whipping, end one to three months imprisonment, for robbing orchards. The Herald states that the Governor gave great offence at Ohinemutu by refusing to shake hands with a Maori woman who held out her hand to him, and resolving at the last moment to stay at an hotel owned by one tribe, when preparations had been made for his entertainment at an hotel owned by another tribe.
