Beyond their ordinary work, the Education Boards regularly are called upon to do a great deal more that is necessarily hidden from the public eye. They are in reality courts of inquiry often required to deal with matters of a personal nature, and not infroquentely of a delicate character. They are the means of removing troubles, settling disagreements, seeing that allround justice is done, the teachers protected from annoyances, and the right thing done for the children. In short, upon the boards devolves the task ol making the machinery of education run smoothly by prompt removal of causes of friction. It is a work that cannot be as well done by officials innured to routine official methods as by men who approach the task in a sympathetic and judicial spirit, and with the sole aim of securing peace and harmonious and united effort.— Oamaru “ Mail.”
