MR BUNNY'S CIRCULAR.
, + TO Tflß EDITOJt OP THE ItfDEPBNDENT, Sic, — Another ]juL off. Just as education seemed aboui, entering its haven after cola 1 wiol.ry lossi'iga, struggling, io ! it U drivon back aud soused under flits bitter cold "oh Iculav" wave of ouv helping (?) G-overnmenl. Tlits cannot fail to excite a sharp initanoy of nwtmer towards tho Government by those who lake un interest in this question, and indeed I hypo (\i some extent by all people. What does Mi' Bunny mean by talking about fees? Who is to collect , the fees ? The achooliMialev? He has no legal standing. Tho Sohool Committee as standing lor the Education Board ? The board is prohibited from taking fees. Who will under those circumstances enforce fees and face litigious parents ? Doos Mr Bunny intend sending education to Jericho ? Between the dissolution, of an old and tho | meeting of a uew (Imperial) Parliament, thirty-lire days only is, I believe, allowed to ( elapse, Cannot Mr Watorhouso's " little parliament" (the Education Board) be oalled together in a fprtnight— the winter holidays, and bother and irritating disputes avoided. Every one will readily give Mr Bunny credit i for energy and ability enough to accomplish this or nior,o. I beg, sir, the personal favor of publicly suggesting to the prinoipftl.Bchoolinaßterß.and those most centrally situated in their several districts the desirability of calling meetings of schoolmasters to consider their position. I would suggest, therefore, that Mr Morton, of Wairarapa Valley j Mr Williams, of Hutt Valley, and other schoolmasters, oall meetings" ;of the several schoolmasters in their several districts. — I am, &0., T. Wakbiin, Schoolmaster, Kaiwaiwai. P.S.— l have juat boen informed that Jfr Morton is calling a meeting of one or two schoolmasters. >~ ;. *■• . % 1
