The Greytown School Treat

To the Editor of the Standard,

Sia,— In writing a letter to yon concerning the management of the entertainment which was given to the Greytown children on Tuesday last, I am bat re-echoing various complaints against the committee and their chairman, and which it is right should be publicly explained by them: —Complaint Ho. 1. The ball was let by the Chairman of Committee to the Fire Brigade for a dance at 8 o’clock. Complaint No. 2. The Chairman of School Committee being in the chair at the time, shortened the programme, and oo eat oat some well known amateurs who hod promised to assist at the entertainment. Complaint No. 3. The Chairman of School Committee invited openly, before the Mata* raws school children, the whole of them to join in the tea, procession and entertainment. The committee declined to endorse this, because the Ms tors wa people bod not assisted with funds, Ac. Complaint No 4. The ■nave Chairman of School Committee (Mr Pierce Cotter, jun.), on Mr Buchanan vacating the choir, owing to pressing business, took the chair, and from that time to finish, the whole of the meeting was egotistically conducted, and the word "I" seemed to be used as often aa it was possible. Enclosing my card, I subscribe myself, Ni Qcm Nixis. (Not very much.)
