RANGIORA SCHOOL.

DISPUTED APPOINTMENT. The dispute between the Rangiora School Committee and the Canterbury Education Board over the appointmentof a headmaster continues. . Last evening the committee again discussed th© matter, deciding that it would refuse to endorse the recommendation of the Education Board for the appointment of Air C. At. G. Boyce, St Albans, on the ground that it objected to the action of the board in submitting only one name for selection. It was resolved that in the event of the board confirming the appointment of Air Boyce without submitting three names, the committee would resign. To-day an official of the Canterbury Education Board said that a previous resolution on the subject passed by the Rangiora committee had been forwarded to th© Department. It was entirely owing to the Department’s regulations that only one name had been sent forward. The board would much prefer to giro every committee tlie choice of three applicants it could do so, but the Department insisted that only the name of the teacher with the highest grading should go forward, if h© was considered suitable in other respects. The board, therefore, had no option.
