He is the responsible officer, .answerable for the discipline, interior economy, and proper management of i thpi school under hi? orders ; jvst' in the sauie' way that an officer commanding a , .regiment, Or one of Her Majesty's ships, is answorablo for the efficiency and good order of the men and vessel under his command. Of course, he (Mr Worthington) reported th& matter to the board, who should diiect • enquiry to be made into the charges, not \by the Board of Education or their iuspoc- » tor, but by a mixed body, say of six, equally ■ .combined of head teachers and members of 1 committees, the proceedings to be for- " warded by the president (who should bo a member of the board) to the chairman of the Board of Education, •and action at once taken thereon. It is time that the Minister of Education was awakened from his slumber of supiuess and " laissez faire " action, and drew out for the guidance and information of all parties, from the chairman and members of the yarious boards to the committees and . toiwhbra in' the colony ; rules and regulations to meet cases connected with management pf the fechbols, which Bhould be of uniform application throughout the colony. I have rioihe idea Of onco reading that an inapoctor w» sent out to a school to examine ' and 5-5 -' ' r«po"rt upon certain charges made-direct to the board by some person in ' ' a' School dibtrict.- This was an evidence of « grdss -mismanagement on, the part of the board, and it is similar acts and attempts ■"io* ride, 'rough-shod over, the officers appointed by the Minister of Education, 1 '(uriaei 1 " commission, who regardless of the •-want of euphony of sound, not to say i. courtesy) the board's servants on more than one occasion have been spoken of as "male" and ''female "teachers. If the boaid don't mend their ways we shall have . a. Royal Commission appointed to enquire into all matters connected with education in the province, the dismissal of home teachers, and the appointment and continuance in office of officials ignorant of the moral proprieties and social conventions, whether tin setting an example of chastity, or of ignorance of the proper application of the possessive pronouns, '• Mine " and "Thine."
