My return to a seat in the Central Board of Education is very gratifying tome, r T - ; As an old settler iv New Zealand, I naturally view with affection and pride the institutions that yew by year have grown up in oar midst. All must realise that New- Zealand's children are* iiow from time tot (time called upon in political, professional, , mercantile, and Bocisl life, to succeed those, who from the Colony's birth made its advancement and prosperity one of tjhe main objects^ojE their existence, and to whom), and to whose memory, therefore,. so. much, is due. (- A We cannot then value too highly a system which brings free education within the reach of ' the poorest and the most isolated j a system which being pursued will place the rising generation upon a footing with tha many who must immigrate to our shores ; will enable them to develop the unlimited resources of thin country ; will tit tKem to exercise with judgment and discretion tha great liberty and power which -coloniajta enjoy ; and will qualify them to fill with honor and credit positions which ,«very citizen is supposed to aapite to. . f '- 7 : i Like yourselves, I look with delight upon the schools which exist and flourish in this large and yet sparely- populated district, and realise— ais indeed all must do'-^thkt withont them no inconsiderable number of intelligent children would be reared in cruel ignorance, to their own detrimentj and certainly to the injury of the Colony in various ways. itrußt that for many years to comedy State schools may^be at any sacrifice maintained in the highest state of efficiency jand that by liberal endowments of land the more industrious and the brightest of our scholars may eventually obtain an entrance into one of our numerous Universities. That our clergy are fully employed there can be no doubt, at the same time Saturday olasses for the expounding of the Bible to the children of their flock, would go far, I think, to remedy that which many regard aa au evil, as a blot upon our avßtem of F«duoation— tho absence of religious instruction. The class established in connection with the Episcopal Church, at Hokitika, is well supported. ; , Finally, I shall do all in my power for the district as a whole, and I think you may rest assnred the Board's earnest desire i«, and will ever be. That the children of those who have done so much to build np our Colony, shall obtain that which money cannot purchase in the after years of life— a good, useful education^ * -.
