EDUCATIONAL.
From education, as the leading cause, Tlie public character its colour draws. — Cowper. Mr H. Worthington, headmaster of Wellesley-street School, is reported to be seriously ill. Mr Vinobnt E. Bice, Secretary to Auckland Board of Education, is reported to be a candidate for holy orders. Is Mr W. F. Draffin, who is giving thought-reading exhibitions, a teacher under the Board of Education ? If so, 'tis a queer way to spend holidays intended to repair nervous exhaustion. Mr A. Grant's circular to School Committees, in furtherance of his candidature for the Board of Education, is an able document, and gives some hard knooks to the town teachers and their friends on the Board. Articles are in preparation dealing with the personal qualifications and past career of the different candidates seeking election to the Board of Education. A few idols will be smashed by these truthful but unsparing criticisms. Dr Macarthur most emphatically contradiots th 9 rumour published in our last issue, to the effect that he is a candidate for the Board of Education, in the interests of the town teachers' clique. He is not a candidate, and if he were it would assuredly not be as the nominee of the party of extravagance and corruption.
