We note a certain hesitation about the tone of the

Board of Irish Education, if the Times telegram of Thursday be correct, to the effect that the Commissioners of National Education have consented to acknowledge the right of Mr. O'Keeffe to the management of all the National Schools under his care "except that of Coolagh." We suppose this means, that the Board now doubt their own right to treat any school but Coolagh as a parish school ; but however the matter may be, it looks like weakness on the part of the National Board, and seems to justify in some degree Father O'Keeffe's boast that he had all the trumps in his own hand.
