At. the Education! Board Mr. White moved that the granting of special favors (holidays) to city children is unfair, and opposed to the best interests of the whole children, and that the action ,of the chairman and secretary in conniving at the breaking of the Board’s by-laws is deserving of censure. The- mover pointed out the discrepancy between holidays granted to country and city school children. County children were given one holiday for the local show, but not more, while in the city a special holiday was granted during the month of November, when conditions were unsuitable for holidays. In seconding the first part of the motion, INIr. London regretted any deprecation that might, he inferred from Mr. White’s allusion to t he holiday granted to the city schools on the departure of Lord Jell icon. Mr. R. A. Wright strongly deprecated th» motion as a reflection on Lord Jellicoe, who had a great affection for children, among whom he was exceedingly popular. Other members spoke in a similar strain, and the motion was lost, Mr. White only voting for it. OHRLSTCHUHCH, tin's day.
