The Wairarapa Daily. TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 10, 1885. THE SCHOOL DIFFICULTY.

The commissioners of the Education Board and the Committee of the Masterton School met in conference yesterday afternoon, and all sides of the question were pretty fully discussed. It would be idle to go over the ground that was covered at the meeting, as the real issue was a very simple one. The proposals of MessrsHoao, Reese, Woodroofe, and Girdwood were obviously favorable to the interests of settlers in the northern part of tho town had they not involved a sacrifice of the efficiency of the existing school. That they did this was apparent from the contention of Mr Reese that a second school would drain the present one of a hundred and fifty children. This to all practical intents and purposes, meant that the present school would be reduced from its rank amongst the first-class schools in the Education District. The Board could not consistently accede to.a step of this land. Some provision must undoubtedly be made to meet the special claim made by settlers in the north Of Masterton, but this provision must be one that will not injure a school in which, every settler in the town ought to take a pride. The question will, we trust, shortly be settled in the interests of all parties, and the two sections of the committee having done all in their power to give effect to the views on which they were elected, will unite to promote to the utmost extent in theii power the cause of education in Masterton.

Messrs Bell, Chamberlain, Girdwood, Harding, Kingdon, and Woodroofe were nominated this morning for the Borough Licensing Committee.
