THE GREYTOWN SCHOOL.

A meeting of the householders is fco bo hold on Thursday evening at the, Greytown schoolhouse, called by the; school committefl, :to. consider a communication from the Education Board re the head master. In order that oui readers may thoroughly understand, the case, we may-state that at a special, weetiug of the committee, hold on the 18tli November, it was resolved "That the Chairman write to the Education Board earnestly requesting' the Board either to exchange the head master of tba Greytown school to some other school, or that be .(Mr Porritt) be immediately asked to resign his position at the Greytown school, and that the members of the Education Board for the district be written: to asking them to support the resolution," This resolution was passed because; the committee were dissatisfied with the progress! of the scholars. Tho Inspector examined the school on the 20th October, and tho result was as follows :

Percentage of passes 54; percentage of failures 25. Mr lee, the Inspector, ia liia. report added " For next year, and for one year only, I suggest that St. 11l be given to Mrs Scale; St, V, VI, to Mr Cox, and that the head master take St. IV. giving close supervision to. P.T." In our last issue we ,reported that the Education Board had replied, stating that if the ;next examination be unsatisfactory the appointment of the head master will'thereupon terminate. This reply is considered very unsatisfactory by.the Committee, and they have therefore resolved to call the householders together to consider the matter. It is therefore to' be hoped that all householders will assemble on Thursday evening and vote in accordance with their convictions.—Standard, 1 ——-i —innrnnwi m wm
