.A letter was read at the meeting of the .Board of Education, on , Wednesday, the ? 17th .of June, from the De- . partment of Education, in reply; to the . Board's protest against the observance of j; wnpirc Day as a school holiday. The :v Minister, in the communication referred to, ; ; pointed out that the children were being .. kept at school to be trained as citizens of the Empire, and setting aside one day »i the manner named did not, seem inappropriate. The secretary (Mr. V. E. Rice) said that the Department was not, perhaps, aware that on 16 days in the year the Board had instructed the hoisting of school ■ nags in order to remind scholars of the Em- . Pne. It was decided, on the motion of Mr. 1,.- J. ]]agnall, to notify the Department of this fact.
