CENTRALISED SCHOOLS
TO THE EISITOX - Sib,—Sarcasm is usually considered by educated people of good taste to be botn cheap and nasty, but when founded, on inaccurate conclusions it is quite miwortny of the chairman of an education board. In the fourth paragraph of his statement covering the position of the Uniakau School controversy the chairman makes the silly suggestion that the doctors were opposed to long distance travelling only as applied to Omakau, but were in favour of it as applied to Lauder. Personally, when I was asked for my opinion on this subject I was not even aware that there was an alternative scheme with Lauder as its headquarters. Fair-minded people, knowing that 1 have no sort of axe to grind, have accepted my opinion against long distance travelling for small school children as an honest one, and if the chairman's ' statement" is to go on the board's words J contend that this foolish paragraph olioulcl be deleted. —I am. etc., ' A. E. Gladstone. Alexandra, -May 18.
