MASTER AND PUPILS.
QUESTION OF PUNISHMENT. [BY {TELEGRAPH.-—OWN CORRESPONDENT.] Waihi, Saturday. As an upshot of the recent inquiry by the local Schools Committee into the charge preferred by a parent against Mr. Stewart, master of the District High School, for punishing a scholar with undue severity, the boys in the m'aster's class have subscribed their names to a letter, in the course of which they say they have never been caned unjustly by Mr. Stewart, and have never seen any ' boy treated unfairly in any way. All agree that they are more than satisfied with Mr. Stewart as a teacher. The committee's finding in the recent case was to the effect that there was not sufficient evidence to show that the punishment had been unduly severe.
