ONE ELECTOR DOMINANT.

HOUSEHOLDERS' MEETING.

Public interest in school committee elections is never remarkable for tumultuous enthusiasm, states the ‘Auckland Star,’ and rarely do the faithful group of civic workers who carry on the self-sacrificing tasks attending to the business details of education ever come into the spotlight of publicity, or receive public encomiums - for their work well done. At one suburban meeting recently, however, one solitary householder, who attended to hear the committee’s annual report read, did his best to reward them as per established precedent. Rising in his place amid a desert of empty benches, he moved a formal vote of thanks to the outgoing committee for its assiduous labours; as no one else was pres-' ent, he then seconded the motion, supporting it with his best wishes for their future endeavours. Thon, as the modesty of the chairman made it difficult for him to put a motion adulatory to himself, the householder put his own motion to the meeting, and carried it unanimously with acclamation, with a request that the motion be recorded in the minute-book of the committee. This public encouragement of its good work gave such a filip to the outgoing committee that they all agreed to stand for another' term, and were voted in by the householder present.
