We have been requested by the Hon Secretary of the Lower Wakefield School Oommittee to publish the following resolu- ' tions recently agreed to in consequence of the Central Board having appointed a successor to Mr Chattock, the late master, without consulting the Committee:— At a meeting, held on the 6th inst., it was resolved, " That iv consequence of the action of the Central Board, iv appointing a teacher for the Lower Wakefield school withont first consulting the Committee, in contravention of the 45th clause of the Education Act, this Committee wishes seriously to impress on the Board that if this is to be the interpreting of the Act and general action of the Board, they, as a Committee, decline to act." At a subsequent meeting, held a week later, it was resolved, " That holidays be given to the children from July 20th to August 3rd, in order that the Central Board may have au opportunity of re-considering their appointment of a teacher without consulting this Committee." (2)' "That this Committee still adhere to their resolution to resign if the Centra). Board declines to consult them in the appointment of masters and teachers." A special meeting was held on the following day, six members being present, when it was proposed by Mr R. M. Smith, That the school be opened on Monday, the 22nd inst.
