EDUCATION BOARD ELECTION.

T& THE 2B WOE

" Sir,—l would like to know whether - Mr'R. A. Storey is justified, iitr tafcmg. a seat on the Board when by the lawquoted below he is not a member. Tne facts of the case were well-known, and! yet not one of the. members— m ot even the one who objects to things on principle—r-raised any objection to a non-member taking part in. the business oi the Board. It is a question whether any business done at the last; meeting is binding. Mr It. A. Storey was at the time of his nomination interested in a contract with the Board, and is still so interested,' and therefore cannot be a member of the Boaxd. ■ JUSTITIA. [Education Act, 1908, clause 32:: Every person, -male or female, of the .-• full sr^ge of twenty-one years, "and! not disqualified'" as mentioned in the 1 next succeeding section . . . shall beqiialifiedi to be a member of theBoard.- 33 (2): If any member receives any salary from the Board, or" accepts or holds any office or employment from or under the. Board to which any salary, fees, or emoluments are attached, or is or becomes interested or concerned•■;(except as. a~ member of a registered •or incorporate^ company) in any contract under which any money is to be paid' by the ■ Board—he should immediately thereupon cease to be a member of the Board.] ~ o

The, amateur photographer will sometimes give up his hobby just'at' the time when it should be holding him fascinated. ""What is there to show for it," he liequently laments. Well, it does seem a pity spending ; time and money on photography, and* having ag a result pictures which, though good, canal best only be of use in an album. The way out of the* difficulty is to hare your favorite' studies enlarged bo that, framed, they can occupy positions on the walls of your home. Harringtons' specialty isenlarging from negatives. Our cbargeß* are low. When your enlarged printis returned to you neatly mounted - on good art board you will be 'delighted! with it. Send along a few i negatives to-day.—Harringtons, N".Z., / Ltd., 42 Willis Street, Wellington.— ■' Advt. No cold is "XAZOL- proof.—Advt.
