COURT OF APPEAL.
THE SCHOOL COMMITTEE CASE. _ (Per Press Association.) AVELLINGTON, April 13. The case Bruce and others versus tho Wanganui Education 'Board and another, ail anneal from a decision of Judge Cooper, delivered in Wanganui on the 21th February, was continued in the Court of Appeal to-day. Mr. Skerrett, for respondents, contended that tho argument for appellants carried te its logical conclusion would reduce (the position of Education Boards to an extent never contemplated by the Act. The whole scheme of the Act was that the /Board should, be the dominant power, and where powers were , given to a committee, thev mado either minor powers or special powers to be exercised, sub-ject-to the sanction of the Board. As to section 124, the words “as herein provided” referred only to the powers of the inspectors, not to the powers of the Board. If the committee had power to fix school -hours without control of the Board, there would ibe a want of uniformity in school hours in the various school districts under control of the Board. Section 137 of the Act showed the Board was intended to have control of school hours. Air. Hut-ton also addressed the Court on behalf of respondents, and Air. -Alyers began his reply.
