There is a good deal bf reason and comjnon sense in. the. suggestion n^dp that the time has how arrived wheh the residents in thie part bfithe-Wari-ganui Educational District should earnestly consider whether it is hot desirable to take peonie steps ;';in Vthe direction of separation.

On these two points the present Board would have to be satisfied ."Before they gave their consent to the prbposed disintegration .

A ' school year! shall be from the first dayot January to the thirty-first day of December, both days inclusive in each year." ''..■... In order that the matter may be thoroughly ventilated ,ye invite correspondents to express thair opinions in our columns;
