EDUCATION CONTROL.
UNDEK THE NEW ACT. (By Telegraph.—Special to "Star.") WELLINGTON, this day. As the result of the Education Act of last session, the control of NewZealand's primary education system "is being largely reorganised. Threatened education boards may continue to exist a few months or even a year longer, until now boundaries are fixed by a commission and approved by Parliament, but tho Education Depa: imerrt, in a practical sense, is talcing control of the inspectorate at once". A conference of senior inspectors and those temporarily acting in that capacity, will be held in Wellington at tne end of February to discuss the working of the new Act, and to arrive at a common working basis. Details relating to the work of inspectors will also be considered. Tlie conference is expected to last three days. Various far-reaching alterations in the administration of education in the Dominion are made by the new Act. For instance, henceforward, the inspectorate is now controlled by the Department itself instead of by the local education boards. Technical colleges will be under the direct supervision of a board of governors, while education boards will be reduced to not more than I nine and not fewer than seven.
