THE HOUSEHOLDERS' MEETINGS.

The annual meetings of householders tor the ©lection of school.committees in the various school districts were held throughout the donunion last evening. In the districts in Christchurch and the neighbourhood the meetings were generally well attended, and considerable interest was shown in the elections, but there was no organised attempt to bring.any educational matter of general interest before the meetings, and the subjects discussed were almost invariably of purely local importance. In a few cases women were nominated for election as members of committees, and were returned.
