He noticed that Mr. Wylle went round with Mr. Ralphs, but was there any system in force whereby Mr. Ralphs visited the schools periodically with members inter ested? Allmembers would like to be know how things were going on from time to time.

The Chairman replied that the Inspectors visited, all Govern- ment schools. If members were interested in any particular school it was only necessary for them to speak to the Inspector aad be would arrange for them to accom- pany him.

Mrs. Hickling remarked that in the early days of the Board, sub- committees were appointed for the purpose of visiting schools.

Rey, T. W. Pearce: It was felt to be desirable, if not essential; that members of the Board shou'd inform themselves as to the work

of the schools, and two or three made it their business to go round with the Inspector when he visited the schools.

Mr. Alves thought the idea an excellent one. He suggested that special forms be provided on which members might make their observa- tions.
