SCHOOL COMMITTEES
Annual Election Favoured
Approval for the remit, ''That the Government be asked') to reinstate the annual election of school committees,” to be forwarded to the national conference of the school committees in August was given by the Wellington School Committees’ and Educational Federation at its meeting last night. Mr. A. Parlane said he felt sure the biennial election would kill interest in school committees, and he thought the federation should press for an annual election. Mr. G. Rogers said two years was too long a period. If fresh members with new ideas were elected to the committees there would be more progress and more enthusiasm.
Mr. J. Fife suggested that efforts should be made to allow nominations, even for the larger schools, to be ac-
cepted at the actual meeting instead of having to be received before the meeting. Two members suggested that the remit should be deferred, but the motion was carried by a show of hands.
