The Greytown School Committee.
To the Editor of the Standard. Sib, —I was glad to see that the committee of the Greytown School Committee have tried to put themselves right with the public concerning the cutting down of the programme of the recent entertainment. Such a proceeding was universally condemned and I am glad to see that the Chairman of the meeting, Mr Cotter, has acknowledged his error. But there is another matter I wonld like the committee to inquire into. They have I believe spoken of it amongst themselves privately, but it should be brought before the committee as a body. One of their number used language before the children which was anything but becoming. If he wanted a child to get out ol bis road, it is said be swore at them. Now, if this is true, it shows a very bad state of affairs--the sooner snob men are off the committee the better. I am, Ac., Pabent.
