BRUNSWICK SCHOOL
Sir,—Would you kindly publish this letter to clear much misunderstanding? Parents at Brunswick on Monday discussed a proposal that a bus service be arranged to convey fifth and sixth standard and secondary pupils to town, the school to be retained for pupils up to the fourth standard. As the secondary pupils have long distances up to five or six miles to cycle to Westmere station to connect with the train for town and as there is an insufficient number of them to warrant a bus service, a compromise was considered that the fifth and sixth be brought in to help fill the bus. More primary children could be picked up en route at the Westmere end, conveyed to Westmere School and replaced there by Westmere secondary pupils. The bus could thus be full for practically the round trip. The parents rejected this proposal by a substantial majority, and the proposer escaped alive. The position is now that the school retains its present status, but not, we hope, its present state (verb. sap.). ALEX C. JONES, Chairman Brunswick School Committee. ,
