MEETING OF THE COMMITTEE. At the monthly meeting of the Brooklyn School Committee Mr A. J. White presided. Complaints were received that tennis players were constantly climbing over back fences adjoining the school courts in the early hours oi the morning looking for lost tennis balls. —Resolved that tho secretary be instructed to write the various tennis clubs advising them of the complaint, and if it continues to seriously consider the advisability of letting them have the further use of the courts. A letter was received from the Eastbourne Borough Council drawing the attention of the committee to the advantage Eastbourne is offering for school picnics.—The matter was left over for next meeting, when the date of the picnic will be discussed. The children of the higher standards availed themselves of the invitation to visit H.M.S. Chatham on Wednesday last. They were escorted by the headmaster, Mr J. B. Hopkirk, and teachers. The initiation of children into the Young Citizens’ League took place at the school on Thursday, the 15th ultimo. Advice was received from the secretary of the Education Board that Mr C. li. Brock has been selected for the vacancy that occurred through the resignation of Mr H. B. White.
