SCHOOL CAPS,
(To the Editor.) Sir, —It has come to the notice of business people that the headmaster of the Hastings High School has posted a notice on a board at the school that pupils are not to wear New Zealand-made caps. The fact is that the headmaster informed the several outfitters in the town about nine months ago that the caps he wished the boys to wear were to be got from a source in England. Some of the outfitters knowing the caps could 1 be made equally as well and sold nt a lower price if made in New Zealand stocked these. Has this headmaster the right idea of patriotism? We wishes pupils fo attend the Hastings High School and yet he and three other masters live outside the Hastings boundary. Can he expect the Hastings business people to support the school?—I am, etc., NEW ZEALANDER. Hastings, 16/8/27.
