Invercargill, June 1.
The Education Board passed the following motion at a meeting to-day :— ‘ This Board desires to record a protest against the proposals now before Parliament having for their object the abolition of the education boards, as in the opinion of this it would be inimical to the successful carrying on of the colonial system of education if the benefits of local administration were taken away from the several districts of the Colony, while it is doubtful if the centralisation of the administration would conduce to greater economy.” . It was decided to forward to the members of both Houses copies of the resolutions passed by the Board in December last in reply to a circular from the Parliamentary Education Committee of last session.
It is reported in town that a young man who had charge of one of the offices cleared out for Melbourne by to-day’s steamer: _ It is said that the only information left behind him was a scrap of paper on bis desk, on which he had written “ I am rained.”
The rinking fever is very had here just now. New rinks are being opened in several buildings which are being adapted for the purpose.’
