/(Per Press Association.)

A deputation representing 346 school committees of tho colony waited on the Premier to-day and drew attention to the need for amendment of the Education Act in the direction of making more ezplioit provision for the consultation of commitiees by Education Boards in the appointment and removal of teachers.
The Premier agreed that the matter wsb of considerable importance, and that the present condition of affairs needed alteration. There should be something more .definite than what now prevailed. If the oommittees were to have powers they should be defined. If their duties were to be merely perfunctory the Legislature should say so. Qe was satisfied that committees should have greater powers than now, and that there should be a higher authority to settle disputes. He advised the deputation to embody its request in a petition to Parliament.
