TOLAGA SCHOOL
(To thn Editor ot tlm Herald.) Sir, — On reeding I lie Hawke’s Buy educational report in your Saturday’s issue, I was greatly struck with the move of the Tolaga householders m urging the heard to provide a separate school for their children. Now, sir, might it be their object to try arid edge the Maori children out of their own school? The report does not furnish us sufficiently enough to gather what they Want. I do not want to enter into deep discussion, on this matter, _ but would like '.o point out as ail old identity that the Tolaga school stands on land given by the Maoris for a native school, and is rightly still a native school. Evidently those who initiated this ffiove are birds of passage, and ignorant of knowing the real position concerning the school. —Yours, etc., OLD IDENTITY.
