Greytown School Committee.

The Greytown School Commiitee met last evening. Present—Messrs Gray, (Chairman), Cotter, Trotter, Wood and Nation. The treasurer, Mr Wood, reported credit balance at bank as £l3 14a sd. Several accounts were passed for payment. Mr Cotter, _as one of the visitors for the past month, called attention to the'docks and thistles growing in the yard, and to the damaged trees, and suggested that a man should be put on to put things right. The matter was left to the visitors for the ensuing month. The school picnic was then discussed. Mr Trotter complained that the paper had left his name out, although he had been elected upon the committee. The Chairman thought that newspaper reports should have no influence with any of committee ; the minutes were for them to go .by. Mr Nation said he was not aware that Mr Trotter’s name was placed upon the committee ; and therefore the name had been omitted in error. Mi Trotter said he declined to act in any way. In discussing ways and means for the picnic, the difficulty was felt of getting some energetic person to cauvas the town for the necessary funds, although it was thought that the parents and friends could not but subscribe as no call had bean made upon them for the school prizes. Mr Cotter proposed that the committee as a whole take measures for organising the school treat. Mr Natien seconded. Mr Cotter further suggested that a meeting be held on Saturday evening at 8 o’clock. This was agreed to and the ringing of the firebell brought the meeting to a close. Messrs Gray and Muir were appointed visitors for the month.
