TARADALE SCHOOL COMMITTEE ELECTION.

[To the Editor of the Daii? Tei,eCHIAPH."| Sib, —As next Monday is the day on which the election for the Taradale School Comnritte takes place, the Taradale electors would do well to earnestly consider the matter, and be prepared to elect men who, with common-place abilities, will perform the functions invested in them for the benefit of the public at large. The electors would do well to remember some of the acts of private and petty spite shown against the master by the present Committee, and charges brought against him, which, on publicly investigation, were quite unsubstantiated by those who brought them. I doubt not some of the Committee at that investigation felt thoroughly aHhamed of the position they were placed in by their leaders. I would advise the Committee who will be elected on next Monday to study their duties more, and private spite less, than has hitherto been done by the present Committe, by doing which they will make such an institution a benefit to the public at large, and not a disgrace to be pointed at by the finger of public scorn. By studying their duties as a public body they may perhaps remove the opprobrium so deservedly cast upon the Taradale or Meanee School Committee of late,—l am &c,

Settles.
