Several interesting topics came up for discussion at the Masterton School Committee meeting last night. Attention was very properly drawn to the dilatory manner in which the Education Board is dealing with the second school question, and we cannot help thinking that the local representatives of this district on that body have been supine over this matter, A sensible protest was also made against thg silly holidays granted by the Board, which again suggests that the interests of country schools are not properly represented. A third question was one af corporal punishment. On this the committee came to a right conclusion, As a rule it is not the few formal corrections inflicted by ahead master which are open to objection, it is rather the many informal cuffs and blows of hasty tempered subordinate teachers.
