Dr Anderson attended and informed the meeting of the steps already taken. He also stated that he had reported to tho Board of Education that it was advisable that the school at the Opihi should be closed, a central school built at or near Frasor's corner, and the Mount Gay school maintained for tho present ; but that m consequence of tho objection of tho re-idonts near the Opihi, the board had decided not lo close that school for tho present. He consido-ed that ono good central school with a certifi cated master, would be better than three aided schools, one m each corner of the district. Mr Howell spoke m favour of maintaining the three aided sohonls. Three Bites were proposed as suitable, one on Mr D. Blue's land, ono near the bridge opposite Mr Hayes' land, and one at or near Fraser's oorner, on the land known as the triangle. After considerable discussion, the votes for each site were taken, and resulted m a majority for Mr Dugald Blue's site. Votes of thanks to the chairman, Dr Anderson and Mr Shaw were passed, and the meeting separated.
