SCHOOL FEES, &c.
To the Editor. Sir, —ln your report of the last meeting of the High School Committee, I notice they are going to raise the amount paid for ink and pencils from 61 to Is. Sir, lam well aware that if 3d were paid by eaoh scholar, it would be more than enough if the money, were only used for that purpose, but it is used to pay for repairing the school. I think it would have looked better if the Committee, instead of renting a room to meet in, had saved that expense and let it have gone to whitewash the school if wanted. The retiring Committee did not think it wa3 too far for them to walk and save rent, for it was tried on last year. And Mr Twiss wants a barbed wire fence put up at the back of the school on the children's playground. I warn them that if they do, and any of my children get injured, or their clothes destroyed, I will try and make them pay for the damage or injury done. When on the Committee, I was opposed to this fence being put up, and I have tried every year to get it taken down, but did not succeed. Apologising for troubling you with this matter. —l am, &c, H. White.
