SCHOOL COMMITTEES' POWERS
(To the Editor.) "ir > —'Permit me to pTnliin *i. wtat ro »t.«d ."Sort ol ffiVuV™?' in the State schools is vested entirely in the school committees; they may give it or omit it, as they deem fit. Neither the Minister nor the boards have power to use the school registers for the purpose of taking a poll on a religious question. In secular matters their authority is paramount; in religious matters they have none. It was for usurping the powers rightly belonging to the school committees that the Minister was censured and the Wellington Education Board severely taken to task.—l am , etc., 14th May.
