CHARGES AGAINST A SCHOOLMASTER.
fBY TKI.EGRAPII. — OWS COKHKSI'ONDKNT.]
Tauranga, Monday. CiiAi«;i;s of cruelty have been made against the head-master of the district school. The Timc.», referring to the matter, says : — " From ocular demonstration we arc in a position to iitiirm unhesitatingly that corporal punishment of a very cruel nature was inllieted on at least one lad, and wc hear of live more cases. This lad we have examined, ilis ilesh is terribly lacerated, and ilis father has, we believe, written to Captain Tunks, chairman of the District School Committee, demanding an investigation into the whole matter. Pending this enquiry, we do intend to make public all the intormation in our possession, but we consider ourselves warranted in recommending the immediate suspension of the master. The parents of the children injured were with ditiiculty dissuaded from taking out summonses against the teacher."
