Later.
This day,
The remainder of the sitting after ten o'clock last night was spent over the estimates, discussing the education vote, £217,370.
Mr Gisborne wanted the whole colony made one educational district.
The Colonial Treasurer said the Government, after a careful consideration of the whole question, had arrived at the conclusion that, the only fair basis was population, and he promised that the question of supplimenting the salaries of teachers in outlying districts, by employing them upon other Government duties, would be considered. The formation of the colony into one education district was impi'acucable. It would not be wise, he maintained, to return to the central aystem of control.
The vote eventually passed as printed, and the House adjourned at midnight. '
