EDUCATION BOARD AFFAIRS.

TO THK EMTOU. Sir, — I thank you for your reply in the Post, of the Ist inst." to tho query" contained in mine of the 27th ult. in 'regard to F.diti'iitiou Hoard matlcis. It is quito tine what you say "thai a certain o Hicer was tianhferred to another position on tho staff." It i.s the method and way of tho transfer 1 disagreo with, and think your readers should know the facts of the co.se. The oHicer you refer to wns originally a truant inspector receiving jiboul. £150 per annum, The Hoard abolished the ollice, and immediately created a position for him on Iho oftice stl.ilY, wheie ho now receives £200 a year. This position in the office did not exist. hcfoH'. Why was the place not advertised for, the sn me as for a teacher or hecieUry? Why wan not the report of the Investigation Committee as to the working of tho otlice ma do public? X wonder if it made any comment on this particular case. I note the present secretary has resigned and the chairman inUsnda to retire, so I hope with a now secretary and chairman thcio will be new methods. — I am, etc., HOUSE HOLDER. Wellington, 3id March. FISH, OHI TO THE KDITOR. Sir, — There is ample evidence to provo beyond all doubt: (a) That tho Premier and party went on an excursion down the harbour on a Sunday ; (b) That they used the Janie Seddon ; That they caught fish. The Premier himsielf may not have caught a fish. He may not have had tho luck; but the party was the Premier's, and they caughL fish. Why can't he bo straight and say : " I did go out fishing, tind I don't care a fig who knows it"? Vory few people- would have thought any tho less of him if he had taken this stand ; "but his old habit cannot be shaken oil". — I am, etc., GROUPER. Wellington," 3rd March.
