i At a special meeting of the Dunedin School Committee, held lash week, the Chairman (Mr Bolt) reported that in con junction with Mr Green he had waited on Inspector Weldon for the purpose of bringing under his notice the advisability of taking further action in compelling children of school age to attend School in conformity with the compulsory clause of the Education Act, which the Committee had adopted some time ago. He stated that Mr Weldon wa^ anxious to assist the .Committee in carrying out their object, but was sorry to say that he could not give them efficient service with the num ber of men he had under his control. He wanted at least, four additional constables to carry out the work in the city pro perly. They could not possibly expect the compulsory clause to be properly carried out unless they had a man speci ally told off to look after children Wander ing about the, streets, and he recommended them to make application to the Minister of Justice for a special constable to carry out their ideas. A short discussion followed, in the course of which it was stated that there were , numbers of boys and girls in employment who should be at school, and whose parents were in a position to send them to an educational institution. The discussion ended with a motion to the. effect that the, Secretary shoujd be .instructed to apply to the Minister of 'Justice to appoint a special constable in Dunedin for, the purpose of looking after children of a school age, and enforcing them to attend. Mr M: W. Green,, speaking on the subject, said he considered that, children should be.edu cated at lea3t up to, the sixth standard before they left school.
