Electoral PUPATION BOARD ELECTION. •10 THE SCHOOL COMMITTEES OF THE AUCKLAND DISTRICT. Gentlemen,—l am a thoreugh believer in the socalled secular system of etiu ation, and hold that it is the paramount duty of the State to educate the people. I have been, associated with school affairs In a country district for many years, and can bear testimony to the great success that has attended the working of the *' Auckland Education Act, 1872 " — a success chiefly attributable to the secular basis upon which that Act was framed. If elected a member of the Board of Education, I will endeavour to sse that the provisions of tbe < "Education Act, 1877," are faithfully carried out, ! and that all moneys wbich may be at the disposal of < the Board are equitably distributed over the Auck- J land District. SAMUEL LUKE. ( Otatuhu, 2nd February, 1878. TO THE ELECTORS OF THE DISTRICT OF PARNELL. Gentj.ejikn,—Mr. Reader Wood having resigned his seat as your Member in the House of Representatives, I beg to offer myself as a Candidate for your suffrages. M»ny of you are aware that 1 have, from the first, heartily sympathised with Sir George 3rey in his wise : and patriotic efforts to secure for the people of the Colony the fullest powers of self-Government. This ! is not only the right of the people, but their best ' against the future domination of a ruling class, with tho depression and misery which such a ! rule must inevitably bricg upon them. You will find i me, if elected, among the most earnest supporters of Sir George Grey and of his Ministry in any endeavour ; to attain this end which he has kept so steadily in view. The taxation of tbe country, under the present system, bears unfairly on labour. I hold such a change to be necessary as will throw on property and on wealth of all kinds, a just and proper share. The Ministry prouvise a Native Lands Bill during tho next session. Previous Bills appear to me to have erred chiefly in two directions. They have tffcred facilities to Urge purchasers only, aud have endeavoured to force the Maori—by limiting his market—to sell at their price. Any measure based ou an opposite policy I shoald heartily support. I >hall take an opportunity of laying before you, in greater detail, my vie*-s on these matters, as well as on the*e more especially afft c.ing the Parnell Flectoriai District, the interests of which I should always fetl it a duty to the best of my power to advance. I am, Gentlemen, Yours faithfully, F. J. MOSS. Parnell, January 23.1575. Educational. f Auckland college and grammar SCHOOL. The First Quarler wiU on TUESDAY, sth February.
