Mr Monk, who is an ultra-loyalist, wants directions given that all school children must parade at least once a quarter and be shortly addressed by the headmasters and instructed in the history and the respect due to the New Zealand ensign.

A return giving the cost to the colony separateiy in connection with the Sydney Commonwealth and Melbourne Federal Parliament celebrations is to be moved for by Mr M'Guire ; while Mr Monk wants details of the expenditure connected with the Eoyal visit. Mr Miller is asking for a comprehensive return showing what is the value of the 'Frisco mail service to the colony.

The re-establishment of one or more inebriates institutions is being urged by Major Steward. A Bill amending the Industrial Conciliation and Arbitration Act has been introduced by the Minister of Labor. The Premier is determined to give day sittings a fair trial.
