Remits.

From Otago Central Branch.

(1)"That this Branch, being dissatisfied with the present mode of electing representatives from Otago, who are nearly always members of the Dunedin Branch, would bring this matter under your notice, and ask for your co-operation in altering the constitution of the Otago Educational Institute, so that country Branches may have fair representation on the Council. Our suggestion is that of the four representatives from the Otago Educational Institute, the Dunedin Branch elect two and the country Branches two."
(2)"That the Institute take into consideration the advisability of reducing the contributions from the Branches to 5s. per male member and 2s. 6d. per female member."

From Waitaki Branch.

(1)"That the change of franchise be extended so that electors should vote for members of the Educational Board in the same manner as they do for members of Parliament."
(2)"That a recommendation be sent to the Otago Educational Institute from this Branch, 'That the Education Board be asked to remove the vote of censure passed on Miss Andrews and Mr. Fraser, for omitting to remind the Inspector that he had not examined certain subjects.'"
(3)"That the time has come when teachers should have representation on the Education Board."

From Waitaki, Otago Central and Bruee-Clutha Branches.

(1)"That this Institute expresses its strongest disapproval of the abolition of the regulations regarding 'Exceptions,' the abolition of which, although quite just and fair in large towns, is most unjust in country districts; and that this Institute approves of the action of the Inspectors' Conference, in requiring 250 attendances during the school year."
