UNRULY SCHOLARS.
(To the Editor.)
Sir, —Would you kindly allow me a little space to comment upon the disorderly conduct displayed by the ‘school children who travel between Greymouth anti Blackball. It seems to be great sport for some of the big boys to start pulling ouf the girls’ combs and pulling their hair about until they resist and some of the boys who are a dirty lot of cads also help to annoy them. It is impossible to read a paper in the carriage in which they are in on account of the bedlum made by them. Yet if you speak to them they mutter all the names that would disgrace- a mob of drunken dagoes. I think that all school children should be separated, the girls in one half of the carriage and the boys in the other half, and if any trouble occurred the tickets should be taken from them. —Yours etc., PASSENGER.
