CITY SCHOOLS.
_ TO THE EDITOR. Sib,—l notice in an article in your columns of yesterday's issue, headed " The Education System," the following "In regard to our own City Schools Committee, various rumours have been current that a system of petty jobbery prevails in regard to work connected with the school buildings. These reports, however, found no expression at the meeting of householders, so that we must assume they have no foundation." You will please permit me to say that it is a great pity the originator or originators of such a rumour did not put in an appearance at the meeting on Monday evening last, and give particulars of the great system of petty jobbery which prevails, for it would have been deeply interesting to have seen the individual or individuals who could have had such imaginative faculties. There is not the slightest truth in the rumour, it is nothing else than a mere fabrication, and I emphatically deny that the committee have carried on any system in the direction stated, not only with regard to school buildings, but any work where the administration of the funds of the committee is involved.— am etc., Joseph Blades, Chairman City Schools Committee.
