Total ...

£1,143 0 0

Messrs White and Kettle thought the list was altogether too light The vote for the Greymouth School was not nearly sufficient. The Chairman said the whole vote of £l5O was in reality for repairs. Mr White said the schedule should have come before the board. Mr Kettle said that next year they should have the estimate earlier. This was agreed to. The schedule of teachers as asked by Mr Kettle, in the Boards employment, showed a large number of uncertificated teachers and it was resolved that the question be dealt with at next meeting. From the Minister of Education asking that in all cases of lire an enquiry should be made. Eesolved that letter be received and no action taken, members being of opinion the department had no right to dictate to the Board. If the Board thought an enquiry necessary good and well, but if not they were not disposed to incur the expense. Prom Secretary of the Paroa School Committee asking that Mi«s Kemple be appointed head teacher and Miss Byrne assistant. Mr Petrie said both were capable teachers but before appointing the former her explanation for not attending the technical classes be dealt with. The explanation given was that she had not attended on the day in which illustrations were given of what she had learned under Miss Weaver. Mr Petrie said it was not much return for the expenditure incurred by the Board or the drawback of closing the schools to afford teachers an opportunity of attending, to find the matter treated in this way. The explanation was unsatisfactory. Mr Kettle seconded the resolution holding that any teacher who elected to cbie her school should have done so for the purpose sanctioned by the Boird. Mr Marshall declared he had no sympathy with teachers who acted in such manners, and the Board must provent like occurrences in future. Mr Kerr said they should proceed first with the election oE the teacher, The Chairman remarked that it was scarcely likely they would go on with that till the complaint made at last meeting was dealt with. He held the explanation to be uery unsatisfactory. The resolution was then put and carrie 1. Mr Petrie said that having so dealt with the matter he recognised Miss Kemple to be a capable teacher, and moved that she be appointed. The other member.*, however, declared that under the circumstances the appointment should be put off, and on the motion of Mr White consideration was deferred.

Prom Te Kinga declining to appoint anyone to the school, being quite willing to accept the Board's choice. Resolved that Miss Manners now in charge be appointed.. From Grey Teachers' Institute, asking the Board to furnish te3t books on manual instruction, and to appoint Mr Bromley to instruct teachers in drill and physical exercises. Mr Petrie said it was almost a reflection upon teachers to have a letter from them asking the Board to appoint one of their number to instruct the rest in what they were supposed to.know. He should like to see Mr Bromley appointed as a Board's officer to go round the different schools instructing and drilling the pupils. Mr White said they must get the cost first, and moved that the Government be asked what was the amount of the grants to be allowed the Board towards the above question, the matter to stand over until a reply was received. Seconded by Mr Flynn and carried.

From the Blackball committee, asking the Board to*allow them to proceed with the erection of a verandah, the cost of which would bo about £l3.— Some discussion ensued, and it was, on the motion of Mr "White, resolved that the committee be informed that when the building grants we're received, the matter would be attended to.

From Mr J. Hargreaves, notifying the Board that his daughter would continue her duties until the end of the year.— Agreed to. From Thomas Greenshields, Blackball, offering to soil the Board his house at Blackball for a teacher's residence for JBlßo.—Resolved that Mr Greenshields be informed that the Board does not contemplate purchasing a residence. Mr Marshall reported that he had visited the Lower Moonlight school as directed. He did not feel justiQed in giving his opinion as to the teacher's capabilities, but thought the matter should be left with the Inspector to deal with, considering that he would ba examining the school on Thursday.—The suggestion wai actod upon. From Miss A. Kemplc (Dunganville) and Mr Malone (No Town), stating that their abseoco from technical instruction wa3 owing to illness. They had, however, kept the schools open. The explanations were satisfactory. _ _ Mr Harris said that as the capitation was very low owing to prevailing sickness, the Government be asked to take the matter into favorable consideration. Mr Byrne seconded. -Carried. Mr Harris brought up several matters that wanted attending to at the Cobden school.— Resolved that the Chairman be authorised to get them effected. Mr Harris gave notice of motion to come on next meeting:—" That any scholar who has passed the sixth standard and desires to go up for a scholarship examination be granted free tuition at the Hiah School." Mr White gave notice to move at next meeting:-" That a list be prepared, showing the Board's expenditure in leasing buildings for school purposes,

SANDER & SONS' JSUOALKJm *SX. TRACT-—Under the distinguished patronag of His Majesty the King of Italy, as per com munication made by the Minister forfForeign Affaii-3, through the Consul-General or Italyat Melbourne, March 14, 1878. Awarded diploma at the Amsterdam Exhibition, 1883Acknowlcdged by Mdical Clinics and Universities all over the Globe.

There are imitations of Eucalypti Extract in the market, products of simple distillation, forming crude, resinous oils. In order that these crude oils may not be taken for our pursolatile Eucalypti Extract, which is recognise by the Medical Division of the Prussian Goernment to be of perfectly pure origin, as per nformation forwarded to us through the Consul at Melbourne, Blarch 2, 1878, we vtate: — It is proved by toits made by the Medical Clinics of the Universities of Bonn and Griefswald (Prussia,), and reported to by Dr Schultz Professor of Pharmacology at Bonn, and Professor Dr Mossier, Director of the Medical Clincs at Griofswald, that only products that are saturated with oxygen and freed of acids resinous and other substances adherent to primary distillation, will develop the sanative qualities proper to the plant. All crude oils or so-called Eucalypti Extracts, are to be classed according to the named authortfi >s, among the turpentines, which are abandoned long since as an internal medicament. TL €se crude oil, or so-called Eucalypti Extracts, are discernible: -

1. By their deficiency in pungent odor Iwhich our product, the only genuine Eusa ypti Extract, develops most freely througa t 3 surplus oxygen.) 2. By their alcoholic, thin, and mobile ap pearance, being reduced to specifio density through the presence of acids. 3. By their taste, the result of contract ing tendency of resins and tanats. If these crude oils, or so-called Eucalypti Extracts, are applied by mistake in cases of croup, bronchitis, dipthcria, internal inflammation, dysentry, etc., the consequences are most appalling. For safety's sake ask always or Sander and Sons' Eucalypti Extract.— Sandhurst, Victoria, Australia.—SANDEß & SONS.
