A member of the Terrace End School Committee at last meeting, brought up the matter of waste in school books by scholars. The headmaster explained that in Terrace End School the teachers did all they possibly could to prevent any waste. In many cases it was duo to the delib.rate acts of the children themselves, who failed to look after their books. In the case of copy book., it was the customwhen a scholar was absent that he should omit the lesson given while he was away,, as the class could not be kepS back for one pupiL When children passed they seemed to have a fixed idea that they must obtain an entirely new set of books, whereas the old ones could be used1 up I before purchasing new ones.- The | committee expressed its satisfaction at the master's explanation. At. last meeting of the Terrace. End School Committee there were present-' Messrs. G. J. Scott (Chairman), P.. Smith, R. Dewar, G. Jarrett, W. Mathieson, j. Robbie, and G.H.Bennett. An apology was received frbni the secretary, Rev. S. Baker, for absence.. The' Chairman reported that- he had written, to the Board with reference to the over crowded state of the infant "room. The Board replied that application had been made to th..:pepartment-:_6r a grant for ''enlarging the room, but no reply had been received. Mr'Scott-also wrote to Mr WT. Wood, M.H.R., asking iris co-opera-tion in: the matter. '-. The Chairman and: ; Mr Bennett were appointed to interview : Mi-.Wood and-lay the facts of the case before him. The treasurer reported, a credit balance of £8 17s lid. It was decided that in future the Committee meet on the third Thursday in each. montli.. The Inspectors' report on the school was read and the motion passed congratulating the headmaster and staff on' the satisfactory condition of the school -as disclosed by the report. Mr J."C. Cooper, of Masterton, gives an. unqualified denial of the statement of the Masterton Age that he recently , expressed a poor opinion of the official organ of the Farmer's Union.. In writing to the latter journal he says: —" I pointed out that tbe majority of the delegates at the Colonial.Conference considered the paper invaluable as a means for circulating Union news from one end |of the colony to the other, and other information of great value to farmers.' 1 jklso pointed out that it was the only paper which.made a determined effort to combat the political views, of singlefixers, protectionists and others ; whoso organised influence on tho Government was inimical to the best interests of tho faming community.. Speaking personally, I expressed'the hope that its rer cent issues would satisfy those who had been opposed to it. and Purged all farmers to subscribe to it." • , -. - - ' | During liis visit 'to/Kumara this week Mr Seddon went the'round of his friends ajul inspected the /'borough generally a. tjie head of a train of admirers.
