SCRIPTURE IN SCHOOLS.
A DEFIANT COMMITTEE. WELLINGTON. February 27. A Scripture sheet containing the Ten Commandments, recently authorised by the Wellington Education Board to be hun°- up uTthe schools of this district, was under discussion by the boaid to-day. One committee— that at Pongaroa— has refused to have anything to do with the sheet. A member: What, were the secretary s Instructions in the matter? The reply was that copies of the sheet had been forwarded to the committees with the request that the sheet ehould be hung on the school walls. , , ,-, Mr Vile : The Pongaroa. School Committee has absolutely refused to place it in its school. I think we should be more emphatic. Tho board should issue instructions to the head master to comply with the board's decision. No action was taken.
