The Taranaki Education Board wrote to Saturday’s meeting of the Stratford County Council stating that the department had approved of the establishmentof a board of managers for the Technical High School. The Stratford County Council was entitled to elect one member to this board. Mr. A. H. R. Amess waited on the board to explain the position, as he thought there was some confusion regarding the constitution of the board. Each of the local boodies within five miles was entitled to nominate a candidate for appointment to the board. Two members were required, and there would be one nomination each from the Eltham and Stratford County Councils

and the Stratford Borough Council. The members of these bodies would be the electors, and unless they wished their nominee to be out-voted it would be necessary to attend at the poll at the school on Tuesday night. Mr. Amess ' said he would like to see the country j districts represented, as the school had ! a strong agricultural bias. Mr. J. H. Thomas was nominated as the council’s representative.
