HAWKE'S BAY.
At the meeting of the H.B. Education (Board on the 20th it was decided to represent to the Education Department that the pre--eent basis on which the building grant was distributed was singularly unsuited to the present condition of the country and unfair to boards like Hawke's Bay. Canterbury received at the same rate per head of the population as Hawke's Bay, although it was reported that the schools ■there were being closed for want of population, while throughout Hawke's Bay, and especially at Gisborne and the districts along the East Coast, the population had enormously increased. The present grant to Hawke's Bay would not, it was pointed out, nearly meet the reasonable needs of Gisborne and the East Coast.
