at the Grindleton Niitional School still continues. The scliool managers have, undoubtedly, been placed in a very queer predicament. I t is close upon six months since the late lieadinustor relin- Ciuished ills post, and since then a various number of female substitutes have boen.sent.thoEducation Authority at AVakeiield deciding that in future a headmistress should bo appointed instead of a headmaster. The school manageis thought other­ wise, and naturally protested against the scheme. Much correspondence ensued, and each side re­ mained firm, the school manngers declaring th.at they had a larger average attendance than their neighbours and could not see the reason for being treated in such a manner. Tho managers were told that they would have to ho satisfied with a mistress, and in the case of any rough male scholars they must be sent to Sawley School. At this stage the managers threatened to close down the school but were informed that they could not do so. Whether they can legally close the school or not wo cannot say, but on Tuesday evening the managers decided that unless a teacher arrived ou Wednesday tlioy would close the school until the end oi April. No teacher put in an appearance and now tho school is closed. ’1 lie scholars are delighted, but i t is disappointing to •see the children’s education being neglected for the sake ot what appears to be a lot of nonsense.
