The secretary: None. Mr. Fraser asked if the invitation had been made general.
The secretary: It went out from the press. He, however, did not know if Mr. Pridham had issued a circular to the parents. The matter was then held over pending the arrival of the principal.

Mr. Pridham said he did not know about the circular, but there had been no complaints. The chairman was turning to asother matter, when Mr. Dockrill suggested that it would be as well to determine, before leaving the subject, who was to issue the circular. Mr. Fraser said the invitation had appeared in the papers, and no further invitation from the Board should be necessary.
Mr.'Dockrill: ''An invitation from the Board would be ?nore direct." He ha<i got into touch with numbers of parents, and from the conversation that had ensued he was convinced that there woula be few, if any, complaints.
