SCHOOL BOARD. —On Monday afternoon, the
ordinary monthly meeting of this Board was held,
when Mr. Geo. Green presided.—After the reading
of the minutes. Mr. Cave referred to a resolution
passed at the last Board meeting, that the Education
Department be written to with regard to the per-
centage of passes in the Inspector's report of the
Cradley Heath School. He aske i for his name as
having voted for that resolution to be erased from
the minute book, inasmuch as he objected to one
particular teacher's case being singled out to be
reconsidered by the department. The fact of the
matter was it was intended to try to put £lO in that
teacher's pocket, and it would 'vault in a loss to the
Board of 1.8 or £lO. A more unfair, dishonest, and
disreputable action he had never known. Mr.
Hadley was under the impression that the Board
did not give their consent to the proposition, or else
he should have opposed it. The teacher in question
was the wile of the sub-clerk, and it appßired to
bins that there had been a great deal of partiality
and officialism shown in the, matter. The Chair-
man said that was the first time since his chairman-
ship that the passing of a resolution had been
challenged. The fact of the matter was that the
assistant-clerk pointed out to him that the Inspector
had probably made a mistake in the report of that
school, and he (the chairman) after looking through
the reports acquiesced in the view of the Clerk and
thougot there would be no harm in writing to the
Education Department, because the Board would
not only have a better report if the Inspector had
made a mistake but it would be advantageous to the
ratepayers. HA was surprised at the remarks of Mr.
Hadley, but certainly not at those of Mr. Cave.
who had a "wonderful bi,ts- (laughter and
applause).—Subsequently a letter was read from
the Education Department, refusing to increase the
grant for Cradley Heath Schools, and shortly after-
wards the matter dropped.—A.comnts amounting to
£525 on the general account and £l3O on the loan
account were p2ssed.—The Inspector's report on
the Gorsty.Hill Schools was read. It showed that
the scholars had passed in a very creditabla manner
The amount of the grant was £60,85. 4d.—The Rev
H. N. S. Lenny moved—`‘That in the case of a fresh
appointment of a teacher in any given school it
will be the duty of the committee to take steps to
receive and read the testimonials of the applicants
and appoint two of them to appear before the Board
who will make the appointment," After a long
discussion, it was decided to defer the matter till
the next Board meeting,—This was all the business
of importance.
