ABSURD NOMENCLATURE.

I Wk are about to point out what seems to us. 'a serious anomaly existing in the ndmes of some of our country schools. : The irregularity we refer to is one, which if once perpetrated, will in all probability ; multiply itself ad infinitum. Close to thejTaonui Railway -Station we fiud what is called the Bunnythorpe school; and at ) a distance of from tLree tqf four atfiffs * further on we havefhe sT.te for the Manchester school, directly opposite to the Bunnythorpe Station. Crossing over from here to the line we-tfud.- - t^heiTaonui sclwoifat a distance of some seven or eight miles from the Taonui i Railway Station. Now we are constantly heading from many of those connected with the institutions in question of the •erilms inconvenience which often arise-. /froAi this absurd. confusion of names, an inc«>nverfeh'de u atTac'Fie(l'' afifce' i# rkiw'a.y ' and; postal transactions. The remedy for '$ti. this Jjes, iv qur opinion, with thejlpeal* committees, wlib should represent the state of affairs to the Board of Education, Jandj endeavour to have their respective districts re-named? * ' Th'e'-'pkeVeut B\iimy- ? thorpe schooi might take the name of ' T&qnui ; the ..Manchester, scbopl that of , Jiu|nythdypey and' for tiie pVe'sent Tiionui : school we would suggest the nameV'of ' Raijgitikei road, or Collinsville, the lat- . tor being the name of Mr Edward Collins property', wliib'E "is situated' lmmediately opposite the school. The sooner, in our estimation, the above course is taken, the better, for new schopl .districts are being constantly-' 'formed,'' and more mischief ' " ; -li .-'• ti\ ii ■ may possibly ensue. 1 A ! ————.——
