SCHOOL COMMITTEES. Richmond.
The monthly meeting was held on Wednesday evening ; present — Mr Abercrombie (Chairman), and Messrs Anderson, Bell, Burns, Hughes, and Shaw. An apology was received from Mr Petrie. The master's monthly report was read, stating that the number on the roll was 552, and the average for the last four weekß 450. The attendance was not so good as it ought to be, as there were than 102 children unaccounted for. The report also mentioned some repairthat were needed, and drew the attention of the Committee to the nuisance caused by larrikins visiting the school grounds at night. The Committee resolved to bring the compulsory clause of the Education Act into force in the district, and to have the repairs done as asked for. It was resolved — "That the Chairman should write to Constable Stunner, asking him to take action and make an example of any persons found on the school premises after three o'clock in the afternoon." The Committee discussed, at some length, the retrenchment proposals of the Board and the Inspector's report. Accounts to the amount ot J.IS 18s 4d were passed for payment.
