“WORTHY OF PRAISE.”
SCHOOL COMMITTEE AND MINISTER. MR D, G, SULLIVAN’S VIEW. Commenting on Hi© attitude of the Minister of Education, when, the deputation from the. Phillipstown. School waited on him on Saturday morning, Mr I>. G. Sullivan, M.P., stated thathe now had been marl© acquainted with the facts. Three weeks ago tho committee had waited, not on the Education Board, but upon its Building Committee. .Mr C.Towhnrst. a member of tho School Committee, had referred to t.lio overerowdng and had asked for relief, but th© board’s conimitteo had informed him that nothing in the way of extensions could be don© at Phillipstown. The chairman of the School Committee had mentioned th© matter to two members of the Education Board, and an officer had been sent down to investigate th© overcrowding. The secretary of tho Education Board, therefore, was in error in saying th© matter had not been presented to th© Education Board. Mr Sullivan added that the Phillipstowii Committee had done its plain duty in bringing beforo the Minister tho fact that there were 107 children in a room twenty-two feet by twentyfour feet and were worthy of praise instead of being scolded by tho Minister.
