ALLEGATIONS OF IRREGULARITIES.

"Serious allegations of irregularities nave been made in connection -with the examinations for the- junior scholarships and national scholarships, which took place recently at the .Aratapu centre, , ' announced the chairman of the Auckland Education 'Board at this morning's meeting. "These reflect seriously on certain persona in our employ, and it is necessary that the Board should hold a most searching inquiry. There should be no room for even suspicion to rest on our employees. I am- sorry these allega--1 tions have 'teen nrade, but they were ' made to mc in such a shape and form ■that there is no option but to hold an inquiry. I may cay that the Education Department consider the matter so grave that- they intend having a- departmental officer present." It was agreed that Messrs. Wallace and Murray and ■the chief inspector hold the inquiry at Aratapu. ___^________
