TEACHER INELIGIBLE
ELECTION TO SCHOOL COMMITTEE A headmaster, or any other employee of an education board is ineligible to hold office on a school committee. and consequently the election recently of the headmaster of the Raurimu School, Mr. L. Brown, to the Raurimu School Committee, is invalid, resulting in the Wanganui Education Board deciding yesterday to authorise another election for the committee. There were eight nominations for the seven vacancies on the committee and in the ballot following, Mr Brown was one of those elected. Attention had later been druwn to the fact that a board employee could not hold office “The Act says the matter in dispute should be submitted to the board for decision, which will be final. It is not necessary to call for another election unless it desires so,” stated the chairman, Mr. E. F. Hemingway. The board, faced with the problem of either calling for a new' election or appointing the eighth man. decided that a further election should be held.
