EDUCATION BOARD AND DEPARTMENT.
PLAIN SPEAKING BY THE TARANAKI BOARD.
{ Pun Piif.Bß Association.! NEW PLYMOUTH, Dec. 15
At the Education Board’s meeting to-day a discussion ensued on a suggestion of the Department that this Board should consult with Wanganui regarding a proposed new school, and it was resolved that the Board regrets that the action suggested as to conferring with the Wanganui Board before opening a school at Oeo was not adopted in the case of the Makaka School, when it was erected by the Wanganui Board, and when additions were contemplated at Awatuna. In every case this Board carefully inquires into" all the facts before any steps incurring expenditure are entered into, and are of opinion that they are in the best position to judge the requirements of the district. The mover said that the Board was being treated like a lot of old women. They did not seem to be able to do anything right. Everything done was being criticised by tlie Department, and they were not given credit for any honesty of purpose at all.
