THE EDUCATION BILL.
(by telegbaph, peb pbess agency.) Wellington, September 19. The general effect of the amendments made in the Education Bill is as follows: — The general inspection of schools is to rest with the Boards, the Minister only appointing one general inspector. Maori children may attend schools, but Maoris are not otherwise subject to the Act. Reserves and endowments for Educational purposes are to be dealt with under a separate Bill. Open scholarships are established, in addition to those for pupils of Government schools. Committees must be consulted regarding all appointments or removals of teachers by the Board. All the provisions relating to the capitation tax are excised. Elementary Bcience and the principles of domestic economy are added to the subjects of instruction in public schools. All religious teaching is forbidden by a provision that education shall be entirely secular. Private schools in outlying districts, if they comply with the terms of the Government schools may be assisted by money, books, or apparatus. The Compulsory Clauses are made optional with local committees, regular attendance at any school being a ground for exemption ; and power of appeal to the Board is given.
