AKAROA BOYS.
To the Editor of the'Akaroa Mail.
Sir,—As a"stranger, I bav'e' been very much.struckipn'ce or twice- lately, by the conduct of Akaroa/boys, even in the pre sence of grown-up people. At a public entertainment T noticed a large 'number of bOys together without any control. Upon making enqujriesjjl-find: they are not all orphans, as Isupposed, but some of them are the sons of men who pretend to have a conscience, and to be respectable.' Well, Sir, my ; opinion of such men is of very little consequence, but it is this, that the man who turn's his boys into the street and trusts to the charily of his neighbors to look after them, and does not care how offensive his children are to other people, is neither conscientious rtor respectable.
