Patutahi School.
(To the Editor of the Times.) Sir, —Allow me through your valuahlo paper to draw the attention of the Patutahi School Committee —if there is one still exists, as judging from all appearance it scorns to mo to he a one-horse show—l should like to ask them by what authority they allow the children’s play-ground to be fenced off and kept for the purpose of making a dairy farm of it. I have always thought that the paddock behind tho school was for the benefit of the horses of the children who have to ride from a distance, instead of their being boxed up together in a corner as they have been this winter, up to their fetlocks in mud, with nothing to eat, while the master grazes his own horse and cow in tho paddock whore the children’s horses ought to be. I hope the Committee at their next meeting will sea and have the paddock thrown open for tho children’s horses, and have the cow removed, for if there happened to be an accident the Committee would be held responsible.—l am, etc., Patutahi.
