SCHOOL COMMITTEES
ELIGIBILITY OF ALIEN
A query as to whether an alien who had been elected to country school committee was ehgible to serve on it was received at the meet ing of the Auckland Education Board yesterday. An opinion from board's solicitors states that theie was nothing in the law, as it no.v stood, to prevent an ilien fi-om b-ii.g elected to a school committee. The board decided to request the Education Department to jeconsider the representations mate by tne board in this connection in 1923, with a view to amending legislation an making it impossible [or an alien not naturalised either to vote' at householders' meeting or to become a member of a school committee.
