GERMAN BAY SCHOOL.
To the Editor of the Akaroa Mail. Sir, —In reference to a paragraph which appeared in your issue of Tuesday, October 1, relative to German Bay School, I beg to inform you that the statement is untrue, as the following letter, copied from my minute book will shew :— " September 7,1878, " As the Board have not sanctioned the appointment of Mr McGregor as schoolmaster, please let me know what stepe we are to take. Could you not send us a master to open the school whilst we get a settled master. " I remain, yours respectfully, " ROBERT DAWBER, " Chairman German Bay School " Committee. " To the Chairman, Board of Education, Christchurch.". [We regret that the Chairman of the German Bay School Committee should have taken umbrage at the paragraph in question, but we must maintain, in the face of the fact that a master did come down, and that his appointment was unknown to no less than three members of the Committee, fjora whom our information was gleaned, that Mr Dawber has failed to prove the falsity of the statement made.—Ed. A. M.]
