The Board could make no allowance to Mr E, Samuel on account of the falling off in attendance. It was decided to allow house rent to the master of the Waihakeke school. A Wellington correspondent telegraphs as follows;—At the Education Board the question of tho Masterton school came on for discussion, and it was decided to appoint a sub-committee to confer with the school committee re agitation for side school versus additions to present building, The agitation for a side school appears to have damaged Masterton as the Board had a second school well in view in the' near future, and at the same time had let a contract for' the additions' to thepreaent building, so. that Masterton would have secured both. Now- the contractors' deposit is to be returned and the contract terminated, and .as the money is not enongh for a side school, neither will be done this year.
