TEACHERS' SALARIES.
TO TIIK EUITblt. Sir, —Tennyson wrote;— A lie that is half a trnth is ever the blackest of lies: A lie that is all a lie may be met with and fought outright, But a lie that is half a truth is n harder matter to fight. Yout correspondent writing under the nom de plume of "Town Teacher," is guilty of (1) either rushing into print without an accurate knowledge of f;scts~if so lie proclaims himself untrustworthy; (2) or wilfully perverting the truth—then Tennyson aptly describes his statements.—l am, etc., JAS. C. Dickenson; Headmaster Ponsonby School. Wallace-street, May I.
