BEING IGNORED.
THE COUNCIL OF EDUCATION. A MEMBER’S PROTEST. WELLINGTON, June 6. “We might'as well be wiped out of existence if we are treated in this manner, ’' declared Mr. J. R. Kirk (Gisborne) at to-day's meeting of the Council of Education. He was speaking about the deletion from the order paper of some remits sent forward about the new syllabus. He said that the council had not been directly represented on the syllabus revision committee; it had simply been ignored, which showed the view held of it by the Department of Education. The Assistant Director of Education, Mr. A. Bell, who was in the chair, said that there were four or five members of the council on the revision committee, and there had been no intention to slight the council. He suggested that the council should go on to l the next business. Mr. Kirk: “Well, I have uttered my protest; we were not directly represented; we were ignored and should not have been.” (Hear, hear.) —-(P.A.)
