COURT OF APPEAL.
THE SCHOOL HOURS. QUESTION. [PiR Priss Association.] WELLINGTON, April 13. At the Court of Appeal, Mr Skerrett, for the respondent, contended that the argument for the appellants, carried to its logical conclusion, would reduce the position of the Education Boards to an extent never contemplated by the Act. The whole scheme of the Act was that the Board should be the dominant power, and where powers were given to a committee they were either minor powers or special powers, to be exercised subject to the sanction of the Board. As to Section 124, the words " as herein provided" referred only to the powers of the inspectors, not to the powers of the Board. If the committee had power to fix school hours without control of the Board there would be a want of uniformity in the school hours in- the various school districts under control of the Board. Section 137 of the Act showed that the Board was intended to have control of school hours. Mr Hutton also addressed the Court on behalf of the respondents and Mr Myers replied. Judgment was reserved.
