THE EDUCATION BOARD.

(To the Editor,) Sir, —As far back as the Welling* ton Agricultural Show you devoted a leading article to the way the Education Board did business. While that Board is made up of Wellington men, I ask will the country schools receive fair play ? There is a doubt about it. Then why not follow the example of the Mauriceville East School Committee and return new blood. This Committee has nominated Messrs McCardle, Vile, and Von Eedin, and they have a good reason for doing so. Why, on Monday, the 2nd inst., the schoolroom here was covered half way over with water tc a depth of three inches. On the Thursday following, when the visiting member called, there was still one-and-a-half inches of water on the floor. This kind of thing happens nearly every week, and the master is compelled to hug the children together in a corner. The attention of the Board was called to the dilapidated state of the school about nine months ago, but nothing was done in the matter. Therefore, I advise Committees to yote for new blood!—I am, etc., Parent, Mauriceville, Feb. 12.
