The Wairarapa Daily. THURSDAY, MARCH 14, 1889.
We understand that the Education Board threatens, that if the Masterton School Committee, meekly kneeling on their knees, do not accept in a spirit of gratitude and thankfulness the unsophisticated youth, whom tlioy offer to send up in place of the experienced teaoher who is being withdrawn, they, the Board, will send in place of the unsophisticated youth a still moro unsophisticated maiden, andthelast state of the school will be worse than the first, It is expected that the Masterton School Committee at their special meeting this evening will be brought to a proper state of mind by this menace. The Education Board has slowly but surely absorbed the functions of School Committees, and, perhaps the local body at. Masterton is the only one left that still makes some claim to exercise the power 3 conferred upon it under'the Education Act. The threat now hurled against the Masterton Committee may be expected either to snuff out that body or to again remind Committees that they have a status under the Education Act, although they have allowed their ground to be cut from under their feet by the Eduoation Board.
