The Patutahi School Affair.
We have received a letter from “Householder,” of Patutahi, on the school trouble there, but it would not be advisable to publish the letter in full. Our correspondent asserts that the Board had nothing but untrue statements before it, statements which were proved to be false at the meeting of householders. “ The very fact of these letters being illegally got up was sufficient proof that the perpetrators had some malicious object in view. No language, therefore, can be too strong to condemn their procedure. la it fair, then, to the householders of Patutahi that the interests of their children should so materially suffer through the actions of the Chairman and hie colleagues, by sending misrepresentations to the Board, and worst of all to have no redress. I would suggest that the Chairman of the Board be written to and aoquainad with the whole case. Had an action like this occurred in the Dark Ages it would certainly have been branded as persecution, Can we call it by any other name to-day
