EDUCATION BOARD.
GRIEVANCE AGAINST THE DEPARTMENT.
’(Per Press Association.) Invercargill, last night Ac a meeting of the Southland Education Board, in dealing with the Department's letter re disposal ef the building grant for the year, members spok 6 strenuously against what they held to b e the desire to centralise all authority in Wellington. They also spoke against tbo Department’s treatment of tbo Board’s application for funds to build new schools, some of which had been in abeyance for yoars, while the children wero growing up without the education that the Act was supposed to assure to them. The whole tenor of the Department's methods, it was said, was to belittle the Boards which represented the people by their votes. It was resolved that the Board strongly dissents from the final clause of tho conditions under which the grant is allocated, which restricts the purposes and operations to which the Board may apply the annual Parliamentary grant for school buildiDgs. A copy of the resolutions will be sent to all Education Boards
