For this reason he proposed Hint half the committee should retire annually. -Mr F Twort seconded this . if the parents wished to make a complete change they should be able to make it, stated Mr. L. Hennessy, who condemned "any half-and-half business.” -Tw©-years was not unduly long for the life of a committee. The amendment was carried.
