THE MT. CARGILL SCHOOL.
TO THE fcniTOH.
Sir, — In your is uu o£ ilia woek 1 notice that a ooirespondMit makts a eomplaLfc iv re-f.-ienceto the Ct.mmwsioniirs iv. chiwga otlho abxve school. As thin complaint h devoid of
truth, I have to request you to publish an
explanation in justification of the Commissiouers. la the first place, the use of the echool was never asked for by the Rev. Dr Stuart or any of the Mount Cargill Church Committee, till now that Dr Stuart has af-ked for it, and has been refused conditionally, but not absolutely, as the Commissioners acted on public grounds. Your correspondent states that the school was granted all la9t winter for a dancing class. Now this is a moat audacious falsehood, as the dancing class— which was hold through the spring, commencing on the 16th August — was never held in the school at all, but in a private residence. Your correspondent kax little need to talk about religious Hervices when he writes such glaring lias aa these. It shows he has little respect for truth, or else he must have been in a trance when the dancing wa3 being held, for everyone between the Waitati and the North-Esst Valley knew where it was held. —I am, &c, Daniel Winter, Secretary to the Mount Cargill School Commissioners. May 22nd.
