LETTERS IN BRIEF
"Parent and Shopkeeper" protests against the instructions which, he states, are given <by some school-teachers that children must buy their books at certain shops. The correspondent states that the small shopkeepers -obtain stocks of the books required for the convenience of parents in the districts, and it is unfair to the local people that the children should be ordered to go past these shops and buy elsewhere when there is no difference in price. .-';•' s
"Pro Bono Publico," after reading "The Post's" account of new buildings for Wellington under the heading "The Era of Progress," comments upon the fact that no provision is made for clocks in these structures. The clocks of the Post Office and the Town Hall do not' detract from the dignity of the buildings. In England architects add this feature to any great edifice, and it would be" possible to do the same here, thus enhancing dignity and increasing public utility, as there are few public clocks in the city.
