Mr Hathaway pointed out that in the past there had been considerabb disagreement with the Board, but he considered this was brought about simply by the action of one of their committeemen, and they had been led somewhat by the nose. In his opinion no fault could be found with the' old members, and he thought it would only be fair to re-elect those retiring. Mr Daniells said be was of similar ©pinion. He had been to Wellington ou deputations, and found tbat the Board were ever anxious to do all in th«ir power for the good oftho school. They stuck- to certain rules, and were all men of business. When ever the Committee were in unison they had been treated fairly, and if they had orossed the Board it was to a largo extent their own fault, Mr Pranguell: I- disagree with you regarding rules. Ido not think they have stuck to rules.
The Chairman said that the Board had not been so fair as thoy might have been perhaps regarding the appoiutmeut of teachers. Mr Hathaway stated that he was fully satisfied with the explanation given by the Board regarding the water supply, and he considered that for every stop taken by tho Board an explanation could be given. Mr Danielle proposed tbat the old members, Messrs Bunny, Buchanan end Fraser be re-eleoted,
