From one aspect the cumulative vote is very unsatisfactory. No man having served wellaiid faithfully on a school committee for one year has any guarantee of being reelected for a second'term. This wus illustrated by the result of the poll last evening ai Masterton. Messrs McCardie, Vile, and Russell., had a decided claim for past services, and yet they were rejected, not on any intelligible public grounds, but simply from the opera ion of the cumulative vote. If one ihdivid ual did more than another to secure the erection of the new school buildings a' Masterton, it was Mr McCardle. ' In his case urtue must be its"'own reward.
