THE WORKMAN HAS HIS INNINGS.
A peculiar and amusing termination to a school board election has just boon reached at Normanby, a town in Middleeborougb, in Yorkshire. Among the candidates returned lately was an agricultural labourer named George Jubb. The other four members, who were farmer- 1 , thereupon took umbrage and refused to sit with him. They resigned, and the School Board business was brought to a deadlock. On the facts being reported to the Education Department, an order was sent down to Jubb, giving him full power, as the surviving member, to appoint four members in the place of those who bad resigned. Jubb called the electors together, when four working men were selected and appointed. The result is that all the members of the School Board are now working men, and the farmers will have to stand by for the space of three years, and submit to the arrangements the new Board makes for carrying on the educational work of the district.
