SCHOOL COMMITTEES.

K TEMUKA. The following is a continuation of tbe meeting of householders in connection wich the above school ; Immediately after the nomination of members of the Committee had closed there were loud calls for the candidates to address the’meeting, and, after much persuasion, Mr K, F, Gray opened the ball. He said he was willing to serve them again. He had been on the Committee off and on nearly since the school started, and very often had onerous duties to perform. In the early days they often sat from 7 o'clock in the evening till 3 o'clock the following morning devising ways and meaus for paying their way, and they had in the end to become personally responsible for debts contracted. He would do his best in the future, if elected, and would always bear in mind the interests of education. Mr James Blyth said the last Coram’ttee worked harmoniously together and he hoped the next woqld work in the same way, if elected he would do his best, Mr J, W, Miles also bore testimony to the cordial relations which existed between the members of the late Committee, and proceeded to say he regretted very much the feelings which had been exhibited. It was evident there was a good deal of dissatisfaciion with the appointment of the teacher, but he believed the Committee had selected the best man. Mr Harrop ; Do you think it right to allow the Presbyterians to hold their Sunday school in the public school, and is it not contrary to the spirit of the Education Act ? Mr Miles was not aware that (hey did. The question never came bet ore the Committee. Mr Rout said the use of the school had been given years ago, and the Presbyterians paid for the cleaning of it. Mr Coin ; How do they pay, and docs it appear on the balance-sheet I Mr Rout : It is arranged with the janitor. Mr Coira ; Oh ! They donT pay anything to the school. Mr Harrop ; Would you be in favor of other denominations getting the use of he school. 1 Mr Miles could not see how others could have the use of the school at the same time. Mr Rutland : Are there not other rooms ? Mr Vlilessiid if any other denomination applied ho wpuld bo in tavoy of consider ing the application favorably. Mr Harrop here essayed to speak again bpt tlie noise became deafening, and tyvo dogs added to the tumult by lighting underneath the Chairman’s table. As soon as order was restored, Mr Bolton proceeded to address the meeting. He had been on the Committee

for the pasi three years, and trusted he would be again returned. He had always endeavoured to do his duty to the beat of bis ability, but there was one thing he did not agree with, and that was giving pr'zes. All children were not equally gifted, and giving prizes created jealousy and dissatisfaction. It would bo far better to give the children a treat which they could all enjoy. The majority of the pn’zea always went to the children of five or six families, and some pupils got as in my as three and four prizes at once. Ho voted against the new teacher because he did not believe in putting a gentleman just arrived in the colony over the head of a master who had had 11 years’ experience of teaching in first class schools in New Zealand, and wholly his own exertions had obtained the B.A. degree from a New Zealand University. Ho thought it a great mistake to take a man they knew nothing of in preference to a msn who had proved himself worthy of the charge by the work he bad done in the colony. It was a bad principle not to encourage teachers brought up in their midst. As the Committee had to apply to parents of children for money with which to purchase fuel he thought if the Presbyterians were asked they would gladly pay £lO a year for the use of the school. Mr Russell said he had been asked to stand for election by persons who thought he possessed abilities for the post. He was not going to say he did not. It was not till yesterday he made up his mind to stand. For certain reasons he did not offer himself for election for the last few years, but if elected he would do his beat for the school. As regards the Sabbath School, children of all denominations attended it. There were Church of England, Wesleyan, and Salvation Army children in the school. Mr Rutland said there were no Oiui rch of England children there except the children of parents who had seceded from the Church. Mr Wills said he objected to (lie sectarian tone the discussion had taken. This was received with cries of “ Hear, hear,’’ and applause. The Chairman then declared the result of the poll. To show how the voting went, we give the following :

The declaration of the po 1 ! was received with groat applause. Mr 6. J. Mason moved a vote of thanks to the Committee of the previous year, which was carried unanimously. The meeting then separated. jG-EHALDINE. A meeting of the Geraldine School Committee was held in the schoolroom on Monday evening. Present—Messrs E. H. Pearpoint (Chairman), T. Farrell, J. Cunningham, C. E. Sherratt, and Geo. Ward. The minutes of last meeting were read and confirmed. The Chairman said it was desirable to remind the incoming Committee that it would be necessary for them to nominate two persons to serve on the Education Board in the room of Dr Foster, and Messrs M. Gray and J. Talbot. Accounts to the amount of 8s Id were passed for payment and the meeting adjourned to allow of the annual meeting being held. ANNUAL MEETING OF HOUSEHOLDERS. The annual meeting of householders was then held, at which there were present about 80. On the motion of Mr C. E. Sherratt, seconded by Mr Lodge, Mr Pearpoint was voted to the chair. Before opening (he meeting the Chairman read the 64th clause of the Education Act, which referred to the purpose for which the meeting was held, He then read the minutes of the last annual meeting, which were confirmed. The following is the report of the retiring Committee “Gentlemen, —Your Committee at the close of their year of office have the pleasure to lay before you the principal items of interest in connection with the work of the school during the past year. The Committee have to report that the school has made good progress. The number of scholars on the register at the present time is 220, and the average attendance has increased from IG9 to 175. The school has lately been examined by the Board’s Inspector, who lias given it an admirable character ; the percentage of passes being over 88 per cent. The report is nowon the table for inspection. The school has been regularly visited by your Committee, who report that everything has been carried out to their entire satisfaction, and that Hie teachers have worked harmoniously together. The school concert has lately been held, and proved a great success financially, over 2 being raised towards the pripe fund, and the singing and recitations reflected great credit on the teachers. The prizes will shortly be presented to the children in the schoolroom, ot which due notice will be given. During the year a slight change has been effected in the teaching staff owing to the resignation of Mr F. Belhnne and Miss Freeman. Three ex*ra pupil teachers were put on in their place, and your Committee are glad to report that the staff in the present form is giving great, satisfaction. Your Committee have only obtained one small amount, £4, from the Board during (he year (owing to shortness of funds), and as there has been over £l4 expanded in necessary repairs, the balance is considerably less than it was last year, viz., £25 4s 4d, against £lB 13a 2d this year. Nothing has been done re the proposed new school, but it is to bo hoped that the Board of Education will shortly have funds to devote to this purpose. i(c the scholarships. At the recent scholarship examination Mias Alice Meredith, apd Masters Jas. MpLean and Jas. Colbert obtained scholarships, Ycur Committee before ' dosing their report doAre to record a hearty vote of thanks to the teaching staff for the very efficient manner in which they have conducted their duties during the year, as the Inspector’s report and the high percentage of passes fully corro-

borate. (Signed) R. H. Peaepoint, Chairman. Jan, 26th, 1885.” The Chairman then informed the meeting that anyone was at liberty to ask questions or make any remarks. Mr G. E. Sherratt moved—“ Hint the incoming Committee be requested to urge upon the Education Board and the members for the district the necessity of building a new school on the site obtained for the purpose,” This was seconded by Mr G. Ward and carried unanimously. The Chairman said he had spoken to the Chairman of the Education Board on the subject and he had assured him that there was a promise on the part of the Board to carry out when their funds would permit. Mr C. E. Sherratt proposed—“ That the report as read be adopted.” Seconded by Mr Taylor, and carried unanimously. The Chairman thenjread the Insnector's remarks on the school, which were received with loud applause. The election of the Committee for the ensuing year was then proceeded with, and resulted as follows :

The Chairman declared the first seven duly elected. There- were several informal votes. The Rev. James Preston proposed a vote of thanks to the Chairman, which was seconded by Mr C. E. Sherratt and carried. Mr Cunningham proposed a vote of thanks to the scrutineers, the Rev. Jas. Preston and Dr Fish, which was seconded by Mr Pearpomt and carried. The meeting then terminated. COMMITTEE MEETING. A meeting of the newly-elected Committee was then held, at which there were present Messrs Farrell, Cook, Dunlop, Lawson, Lodge and Ward. Mr Dunlop was moved to the chair and he said the first business before them was to elect a peimaneut Chairman. Mr Lodge proposed, Mr Farrell seconded, and it was carried —“ That Mr N. Dunlop be Chairman for the ensuing year.” Mr Dunlop thanked the meeting for the honor conferred upon him, and trusted that as he lived close to the school he would bo able to attend to its interests. On the motion of Mr Geo. Ward it was resolved to meet on the last Wednesday in the month, the same as old Committee at done. It was resolved, on the motion of ftlr Ward, seconded by Mr Lawson—“ That the Chairman and any one member of the Committee be authorised to sign cheques, and that the Committee’s banker be notified to that effect.” Mr Farrell proposed—“ That Mr Foster and Mr J. Talbot be nominated by this Committee as fit and proper persons to serve on the Board of Education.” Seconded by Mr Ward and carried. Messrs Cook and Lodge were appointed visitors for the month. Mr Hughes, the Head Master, was present and drew the attention of the Committee to some urgent repairs needed to the stove in the master's house. It was left for the Visiting Committee to attend to—they to got the necessary repairs done at once. This being all the business the meeting adjourned. WATTOHI FLAT. The annual meeting of householders was held in the schoolroom on Monday, January 26th. The attendance was small, consequent on a good many farmers being busy hay-making. Mr J. Talbot was elected Chairman. Only the requisite number to form a Committee were proposed, and therefore declared to be duly elected, viz., Messrs Talbot, Anderson, Moore, Scott, Cunningham, Andrews and Fraser. The following is the report of the late Committee : “ Gentleman, —Your Committee beg to submit to you their report for the past year as follows : The retiring Committee are Messrs J. Talbot, L. Scott, M. Moore, J. Fraser, H. Hullen, J. Anderson, and D. Cunningham. Mr J, Fraser was elected at the ordinary meeting of the Committee in May to fill a vacancy caused by the resignation of Mr S. Currie, and Mr D. Cunningham was elected in the same manner in July in the room of Mr A. 0. Gilmour. Twelve Committee meetings have been held during the year, the attendances of the different members having been as follows: L. Scott, 15 ; D. Anderson, J, Talbot, and M. Moore, 11 ; D. Cunningham, 6; H. Hullen and J. Fraser, 5 ; A. 0. Gilmour, 4 ; and S. Carrie, 3. Teaching Staff; Mr J. T. Campbell and Miss Drybrugb, head teacher and sewing mistress respectively, resigned their positions about the first of June, and Mr and Mrs Joseph Watson were selected out of several applicants to fill the vacancy. The staff at present consists of Mr Joseph Watson, head teacher : Mrs Watson, sewing mistress ; and Master Geo. Anderson, pupil teacher. The number of children on the books is now 69, and the average attendance for the past quarter has been 48.33. The school was examined by Dr Anderson, the Board’s Inspector, early in November. The result of the inspection gees to show that very unsitisfactory progress lias been made during the year, the passes gained being only 41 per cent. This result is no doubt mainly due to the unsettled state of the school consequent on a change of teachers, The Inspector exonerates the present master from blame, on account of his having been so short a time in charge, and, on the contrary, he expressed himself as ho'ding a favorable opinion of bis qualifications as a teacher. The Committee endorse the remarks of the Inspector, and trust that when the result of the present year’s work comes to be shown it will ppo.ye that confidence hast not been misplaced, ft is also hoped that parents will do theif dpty by sending their children as regularly as possible, as it is only from stoady work that satisfactory results can bo looked for. The system hitherto in force of keeping school books for sale to the children has been found troublesome apd altogether satisfactory ami, lips'been discontinued, ''eaelier, however, keeps a 'supply of books and other requisites on 'hand, from whom, if parents

wish, they can obtain what is required, The school buildings and premises are in a good state of repair, and the accommodation afforded is ample for present requirements. The usual Christmas treat and sports in connection with the school were held on Decembei 30th, which gave an aftornooii’skeenenjoymentto the children, ! and was also appreciated by a goodly number of parents and friends who were present. The Committee are indebted to those who assisted by subscribing the requisite funds, to carry out the object, and also enabled them to give a liberal number of class prizes as well, in connection with which a donation of £5 by Win. Postlethwaite, Esq., may be specially mentioned. Financial.—The Committee came into office with a credit balance of £9 8s Id, The receipts from all sources, including this, were £52 14s 6d. The expenditure has been £35 7b 3d, the chid: item being ; Cleaning, £lO ; sundry repairs to buildings and fences, £9 14s 9d ; and fuel, £6 9s. The balance in hand is £l7 7s 34, which is sufficient to meet all outstanding liabilities. The accounts have been duly audited by the Board of Education officials and certified to as correct. — J. Talbot, Chairman.” A meeting of the Committee was held after the close of the public meeting. Mr J. Talbot was re-elected Chairman. It was decided that the school should break up for the usual Christmas holidays on Thursday, January 29th, and re-open oj Monday, March 9th. It was agreed that the Committee meetings should be held as formerly, viz., on the first Wednesday in each mouth. Mr Watson handed in 12s, and Mr Geo. Gibbs 11s, for the use of the room by the Blue Ribbon Army and by the Salvation Army respectively. An account for £1 tor cleaning the schoolroom from Miss Anderson was passed for payment, and tho meeting terminated. MILFORD. The annual meeting of the householders of the above school was held hat Monday evening, Mr J. B. Wareing occupying the chair. The following annual report was read : “To tho householders of the Milford District. Your Committee have the honor to submit their report for the past year. There have been a few changes in the teaching staff. Mrs Cain resigned her position ns sewing mistress, and Mrs Anstead has been appointed in her stead. The school average having increased, Miss Brown was appointed as pupil teacher. After her appointment, however, the average decreased somewhat, and there was a probability of tho school being again without assistance. This quarter’s average is up to the required number, and your Committee fully expect a still better average for 1885, as also a larger roll number. The annual examination took place on October 30th, the result of which was reported as not fully satisfactory, but your Committee think, considering the very bad state the school was in when the present master took charge, that there is room for congratulation on account of the marked improvement, seeing that the percentage passed last year was 25, and this year 70. The most important part of the Inspector’s report was that pointing out the unsatisfactory condition of the school buildings, and the imperative necessity of something being done to them. Your Committee, acting upon tho report, have obtained an estimate ot tho cost of the necessary improvements, for the purpose of submitting it to tho Board and asking it to grant the required sum. Your Committee report with pleasure that the Board granted the sura of £5 at the beginning of last winter for a few minor repairs. Your Committee report their gross receipts to have been £26 8s 7d ; and the expenditure, £25 18s Bd, leaving a balance of 9s lid.— Caleb Woodley, Chairman.” The meeting then proceeded to elect a new Committee, when the following gentlemen were duly elected, viz, j—Messrs Christmas, senr., Christmas junr., J. Brown, T. White, T. Parke, C. Woodley, and J. B. Wareing. COMMITTEE MEETING. The new Committee held a meeting afterwards when Mr J. Brown was chosen Chairman for the ensuing year. WINCHESTER. The annual meeting of householders of the Winchester School District was held in the schoolroom on Monday evening last. Mr George Tayler was elected Chairman. The Government notice calling the meeting was read, and the minutes of the previous annual meeting and the Committee’s report of their stewardship were also read and unanimously adopted. The following householders were then proposed as members of the Committee for the ensuing year, namely : —Messrs W. Klee ; R. Smith, Alfred Ensor, Jas. Northam, Win. Oarston, Geo. Tayler, Tbos. Houaley, Wm. Deßenzy, Jas. Curtis, Wm. Sharland, and Wm. Page. The last four gentlemen refused to stand, and no other householders being present, the Chairman declared tbs first seven duly elected. A protest against one of the members was handed in, but the Chairman ruled that all the candidates were eligible. The following is a copy of the Committee's report“ To the householders, parents, and guardians of the Winchester school district: Your Committee have much pleasure in submitting the following report of their stewardship for the year 1884. Your Committee have hold 20 meetings dining the year, which were attended as follows :—Mr Northam 17, Mr G. Tayler 15, Mr Billings 14, Mr Klee 15, Mr Carston 10, Mr R. Smith 7, Mr Spurden 7, Mr Ensor 3. Mr Ensor was elected in place of Mr Spurden, who was unable to attend. With regard to financial ufiairs, your Committee have much pleasure in being able to state that they have been able not only to pay off the debt of £2 10s with which they took office, but by means of a concert which realised £4 19s, and by strict economy, they havs now a balance in band of £2 13s 34. Several needful repairs hnye been done both to the schoolhouse and to the master’s dwelling, but much still remains to bo done before either can be said to be in a satisfactory condition. Your Committee regret that it fell to their lot to undertake the unpleasant duty of requesting the Board to remodel the teaching st»ff of your school, but, feeling their duty in the interests of both parents and children of the district compelled them, they, Reluctantly yet unflinchingly, dpi what they considered necessary to alter the unsatisfactory state of the school. The Board in reply to your Committee's tetter of complaint informed them that the schppl would be examined again in three

months, and that if the examination wanot then deemed satisfactory the master and mistress should consider their appointments at an end without further notice. At the appointed time the examination was held, and was of such an unsatisfactory nature (only 44.4 per cent being obtained) that this Committee ftp themselves compelled to recommend to the Board immediately to remodel the teaching staff. The Board agreed to the Committee’s request, and, in reply to an advertisement for a master and mistress, Mr Cooke, of Geraldine Flat, and Miss Pearson, of Timaru, were appointed to fill the places of the late master and mistress. Since the present teachers commenced their duties twenty new scholars have been enrolled, and the average now stands higher than it has done for several years past. This leads your Committee to believe that their action met with the full approval of the majority of the householders.” RANGITATA ISLAND SCHOOL, The annual meeting of householders of this school district took place on Monday evening, the 26ch. A very moderate number of householders were present. The Chairman of the meeting (Mr Robertson) read the annual report of the outgoing Committee, including the receipts and expenditure for the year, which showed a favorable balance of £7 10a 6d. The Inspector’s report on the recent examiuatiou of the school was also read by the Chairman, and the results were considered highly satisfactory by those present. The election of a new Committee was then proceeded with, and after a very exciting contest Messrs Buxton, Watts, Robertson, Grainger, Snell, J. Wright, and Sheehan were elected to form a Committee for the ensuing year. A vote of thanks to the energetic Chairman of the late Committee (Mr Robertson) and the teacher terminated the business of the public meeting. COMMITTEE MEETING. The newly-elected Committee then held their first meeting, and Mr Robertson, who had so worthily filled the office of Chairman during the past year, was again appointed Chairman for the present year. It was resolved by the Committee to close the school for the usual harvest holidays from the 6th of February to the 16th of March, a period of five weeks. A few other affairs of little importancs brought the meeting to a close. WOODBURY. A fairly large number of householders were present at the annual meeting on Monday night. Mr Thomas Hardcastle was voted to the chair. On taking the chair, the Chairman read the minutes of the last annual meeting, which were unanimously confirmed. The Chairman then called upon the Chairman of the outgoing Committee to give a report of the past year’s proceedings, and the report was read as follows : “ Your Committee have much pleasure in laying before you their report of the past year’s proceedings. The Committee have held ten ordinary meetings and three special meetings with an average attendance of five members for the year. Finance—During the past year the Committee have received from the Board of Education £4O 5s lid, including special [grant of £9 6s 2d. They have expended £37 10s 7d, leaving a balance of £2 15s 4d to credit of new Committee. In addition to this they have received from various sources (a schedule of which is herewith presented) the sum of £37 8s for school treat and prize fund, out of which they have disbursed £35 Is o£d, leaving a balance of £2 6s as a nucleus for next year’s funds. Repairs— Various small repairs have been effected both to school and master’s bouse, but much remains to be done as soon as the Board grant funds for the purpose. Condition of School—The attendance has fluctuated slightly during the year, but on the whole the average has been satisfactory, and the past year closes with a higher average (82) than has been recorded during the year in any previous quarter. Through a change made by the Board at the beginning of the year, the staff was augmented by a pupil teacher, this adding to the efficiency of the school. The Committee congratulate the parents on the eflective instruction imparted to their children as shewn by the Inspector’s report, and for their efficient I staff of teachers, and they trust that dur- { ing the coming year they will second the I efforts of the staff by sending their chil- \ dren regularly; for it is only by I good attendance, coupled with dili- ' gence on the part of the pupils themselves, that they can become thoroughly grounded in their work, and receive what is deserving the name of education. Your Committee also report that they have during the past year insured the school and I furniture, and added considerably to the ’ property of the school by purchasing lamps and timber for stage. During the past year the Committee and teaching staff have worked vary harmoniously together. —J. H. Dean, Chairman.” The report was adopted. The outgoing Chairman, Mr Dean, reported that a £1 note had been found in the schoolroom, after the last dance, by one of the children, and suggested that the meeting should decide wbat should be done with it. Proposed by Mr Thatcher, seconded by Mr Cook, and carried—“ That the £1 note found in the school be advertised in the local paper, and if not claimed should bo handed over to the Committee, to be dealt with according to their discretion.” Mr Geo. Hammond proposed a vote of thanks to the outgoing Committee, which was seconded by Sir Fifield, and carried unanimously. The meeting then proceeded to ths election of new Committee, which resulted in the following gentlemen being elected for the ensuing year;—Messrs Flatman, Dean, Webb, Hammond, McDonald, Thatcher, and McKenzie. A vote of thanks to the Chairman of the meeting was passed.
