AN ARROW GRIEVANCE. TO THE EDITOR.

Sib,—ln last week's issue of your paper appeared a telegraphed communication from Arrow, for what purpose it is better known to your correspondent. The readers of your paper here only laughed at the absurdity of it, and one and all whom I have heard commenting on the matter say that it was a pity to see the columns of your paper used for any other purpose than the public weal. The sequel to the first paragraph of your telegram may be found in the Daily Times of the 23rd, which I will leave the readers of your paper in this part to consider for themselves. The second part is very easily seen through by a good many here, as it is well known that a certain correspondent to a leading weekly paper, circulated throughout Otago is now debarred from using its columns for the purpose of J. A. M ing cheap advertisements in for a certain medico practising in New Zealand. The third and last paragraph is too thin a fill up altogether. He stated that a thaw had set in. Why, that particular morning was one of the hardest, if 'not the hardest, that we have had for some time. If you are going to have a correspondent from here let him be one that will not make ridicule of your paper, as, heretofore, we, in these parts, have looked on it as one of reliable authority.—l am, etc., "Arrow." [As we ate quite ignorant of the trend of local feeling in Arrow, in connection with the above matter, we deem it best to publish this letter, although we think it should have appeared oyer the writer's name and not over a worn de plume. The telegraphed information complained of was a common item of news, which struck us as possessing nothiug more than ordinary significance, and we therefore published it, as we,would again, unless we were in a position to detect malice in tendering it to us for insertion. We may say that the reference, by his initials, to a well known Arrow correspondent of a leading New Zealand journal is unjust, as our correspondent is not the gentleman referred to.— Ed. O.A.] EDUCATIONAL. TO THE EDITOR. Sir, —As the motion I intend to move at the next meeting of the Schools' Committees Conference re increased allowances, is being supported by the Donedin and Suburban School's Committees who are instructing their delegates to vote for the same, I shall be pleased if any of the committees in your district who favor the proposal, will pass a resolution to that effect.and send me a CO Py» so that when the motion comes up for consideration a strong consensus of opinion from those interested may be brought under the notice of the Education Board and lead to practical results.—l am, etc., M. Fraer, Delegate Kaikorai School Committee. August 17th, 1895.
