KARORI.

The committee of the Karori School refers to the much-greater interest taken in sport Ly the children during the past year, and expresses appreciation of the work. done by the staff in the fostering of that interest.,

Various improvements have been effected durinsr the year. A suitable fence was erecte? along the. Main-road .frontage, the. gate-ways have been altered, and a sot of concrete steps constructed at the main entrance.. But much yet remains to be 1 done. While many shriibs and trees have been planted, garden plots laid out or extended, both the committea' and "the staff are desirous of further improvements. »Gifts of shrubs, plants, seeds, eto., will be gladly welcomed.

The committee finds itself at variance with the Education Board in the methods employed in making appointments to the school staff, says the report. The tend-, ency sosms to be to destroy the authority of school committees, to reduce them to a condition of impotence. The most that a committee can do seems to be to lodjre a\stron<* protest. What is needed here, and throughout the country, is a virile, shall we say, a combative, public opinion that will not have less than it demands.
