It was resolved to apply to the Government for an extra capita'ion of ninepsnee, which will yi«W £175 a year, an amount; tha* will still leave the Board unable to meet presring requirements. Inspector Harkness reported that in the OpararaKaramea district a household school attended by twenty ehildren is conducted in a slab building with earthen floor, originally a cowshed, the door being fastened with a strip of cowhide, and the light cf day coming through the chinks between the slabs.
