INSPECTION OF PRIVATE SCHOOLS.
|BY TELEGRAPH—PRESS ASSOCIATION.] CimrsTCiiuitcii, Wednesday. At the last meeting of the North Canterbury Board of Education, the Very Rev. Father Cummings, Vicar-General 'of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Christchurch, applied to have Roman Catholic schools inspected by a Board inspector. The matter came up for consideration at the Board's meeting, to-day, when it was proposed that a committee should be appointed to inquire into the whole question of the inspection of private schools by the Board's inspectors. To the motion Mr. A. Saunders moved an amendment to the effect that it would be a violation of the first principles of the Constitution Act of New Zealand, as well as of the letter and spirit of the New Zealand Education Act if the North Canterbury Board of Education were to sanction the diversion to any sectarian or denominational purpose of any portion, however small, of the large sums of the public money collected from all classes and denominations in NewZealand, and entrusted to them for the promotion of the free, secular, and unsectarian instruction of the whole of the children of New Zealand. This was carried by six to three. J
