I'lwn the motion of Mc-sr.. Eaull and Kennedy, it was d.-cided to request .Mr. F. McK. Morison, the instructor in ag rieulture, to attend the winter show at Palmerston North, at the Board's expense.

Upon the recommendation of the inspectors, the Boa Til decided to amend regulation 11 of the Board's senior scholarship regulations, so that, instead of the candidates having a wide choice of subjects, they 1«- reipiired to come up for examination m the following sulijeets of the Junior Civil Service examination:—l.atin. English, mathematics, arithmetic, and science.

The Department forwarded a suggestion that the Board direct the atten tion of teachers and committees to the danger from fire caused by allowing a growth of gras. clo.e to the building, and added a note that the Inspectors should be requested to pay attention to this matter.
