AUCKLAND, March 20.

The Chief Inspector of Schools in the Auckland province, Mr D. Petioe, submitted a report to the Education Board to-day on the question of changing the school reader as follows : — "I beg to bring under the notice of the Board the desirability of making a change in the principal series of readers now in use in the colony. It is a good few years since these books were introduced, and' they have long since become stale, both to teachers and pupils. Knowing objections are invariably raised to alii changes of works, I would •suggest that the Board decide that a new set of principal (readers shall be adopted in the beginning of the year of 1909, and that a committee of suitable composition be set up at >aa early date to examine and report upon the Tecent series of school readers with a view .to selecting the best that can be had for use in our schools."

The Chairman (Mr Bagnall) pointed out that the Department wiere about to issue a School Magazine, and) he moved that the matter be deferred until the outoome of the Department's puoposaQs in. this regard was seen. Agreed 1 to.
