Mr. Forsyth raised the question of the foes to bo charged for attendance at the. primary department. It appeared that as there would only be 30 pupils this year, a.3 against 40' last year, the fees would have to be increased. The primary department would have to bo self-support-ing. It was resolved to hold a special meeting to fix the fees when the number of pupils likoly to attend is more exactly known.

The Napier Boys' High School Board of Governors wrote asking for the support of a. resolution in giving an increased 'grant to secondary schools for free places to enable secondary school teachers to obtain increased salaries on account of the higher oo6t of living.
