EDUCATION BOARD DIFFICULTIES.
(Per Press Association.) INVERCARGILL, Feb. 3. At ,'a meeting; of the Southland Education Board to-day, in dealing l with the department's letter re the disposal of itho building "grant for the year, members spoke strenuously against what they held to be a desire to centralise all authority in Wellington, also against the department's treatment of the board's application for funds to build newschools, some of which have been in abeyance for years, while children have been growing up without, the education that the Act was supposed to assure to them. The whole tenor of the department's methods, it was said, was to belittle boards which represented the people by their votes'. It was- resolved, "That the board 1 strongly dissents from tho final clause of the conditions under, which the grant is allocated, which restricts the purposes and oj>erations to which the board may apply the annual Parliamentary grant for school buildings', a copy of the resolution to be sent to all other education boards."-
