A letter was received from Mr White re establishing a High School iu Hamilton. The Cha’rmau spoke iu favour of such an institution, and said they had one at the Thames, ami they ought t) give the matter their earnest consideration. Aher some discussion it was decided that the Chairn an write to Mr White for further information. A circular was received from the Education Board defining what holidays would be given, thus taking the matter out of the hands of the committee. The opinion of the meeting was that in country districts the teachers suffered loss owing to the non-attendance on show days, etc., as it lowered the average, and the committee would have no power to grant a holiday. A vole of thanks to the Chairman concluded the meeting.—(Owu Correspondent).
