EDUCATION BOARDS.
: — * METHOD OF ELECTION. AN ALTERATION PROPOSED. By Teiecraph.—Press Association. WELLINGTON, Wednesday. A proposed change in the present method of apportioning seats on the education boards, which according to the Education Department has been found inequitable, was discussed by the Wellington Education Board today. A letter from the Department stated that the Minister was considering the question of amending the Act in several directions, but before proceeding further, wished each board to consider the proposals so far as they affected its district, and the Minister would consider any suggestions received within a month from date. The general effects of the proposals would be to reduce the number of members in most of the districts, to give rural districts better representation, and to apportion representation more equitably. After the Board had ascertained from the Department that it was hoped the matter would be pushed through this session, a discussion on the proposal took place, during which members expressed disapproval of the suggested change.
