SOUTH CANTERBURY EDUCATION BOARD.

At the mooting of tlio South Canterbury Education Board yesterday, the Chairman reported that Mr E. G. Osborn, of Waihaoi unga, liad boon granted^a month's sick leave, and thai. Miss Turner had boon asked to Lake his place. Mr M'Murtrie (Kaitangata) was appointed head teacher at Tawai. It was decided to send names of applicants for positions vacant on to the Hakatarainea Committee.

The Waimatc High School Board forwarded a list of names of those who held their scholarships for the present year—L. Cnvwshaw, B. Hayman, K. Hertslet, and I. Ferguson.—lnspector Gow said that this infonuation had been sought because there were eases where scholars held two scholarships, and this was opposed to the rules. II pupils were entitled to two scholarships he or she should choose the mm preferred, but tin's was the first year that one pupil bad been allowed to hold two scholarships-..—The Chairman said that lie had brought this up "<'- 'fore the Waimatc Hoard, but they thought they were, bound to give ;v scholarship to the one with the highest marks, whether that person had secured an Education Hoard scholarship or not. —Mr Annitage thought the regulation meant that a pupil should not be allowed two Education Hoard scholarships at the same time, but Inspector Gow pointed out that that was hardly possible in any case. The secretary said that pupils who had accepted two scholarships had broken the regulations, and should therefore forfeit the Education Board scholarship.—lt was decided to inform the pupils who had broken the regulations that they must give up one scholarship or the other. In regard to the closing down of the. Kihika School, the Chairman of Committee wrote that there was no necessity for this action —there were already foiir children attending with a prospect of about ten. —No further actior. to be. taken.
