Milton Branch Educational Institute, Otago.

Office-Bearers 1886-87.

President: Mr. C. Mahoney.

Secretary And Treasurer: Mr. W. McElrea.

There were four meetings of this Branch held during the year. The attendance at these was unsatisfactory, and for this reason some papers which had been promised were withheld.

Several education questions were discussed during the year, amongst which were "The Establishment of a Teachers' Pension Fund," and "The nomination of Delegates to the Council of the New Zealand Educational Institute."

Mr. Mahoney (Milton) will read a paper at the Annual Meeting on "A Comparative View of the Education Systems of the Australasian Colonies."
