The Westland Board of Education lias gone/put. of- its way to object to the appointment of Mr Price,ll. M. as one of the Commissioners, under the Act. The West-Coast- Times : makes the folio wing very just comments upon this course of action :—" They may as well at once claim the right of appointment of the whole five Commissioners, vote the "Education Reserve. Act "as illegal, and proceed to select Commissioners from amongst those who have had no misunderstanding with the' Chairman of the Board or any of its members, and from those only. In experience, and in being thoroughly conversant with the nature of the reserves, the leases, the rights and powers granted to and by the Board, no one in the community is better fitted for the position of Commissioner than Mr Warden Price. In his private capacity there cannot be the least objection taken to Mr Price as ■a Commissioner, seeing that Jie has no'

interest at stake, no business influences, no object whatever to serve, whereat the least shadow of a cohiplaint could be raised."
