THE EDUCATION BOARD MEETING.

To the Editor of the Evening Star. Sm,—My attention has been directed tq the report of the meeting of the Education Board on Thursday, 18th instant, contained in your issue of same date, in which, with reference to an application from the Green 'aland School Committee, you have referred to matters which your contemporary has very wisely left alone. You state “the quarrel was of a personal rather than a professional character, and that it was intensified through the religious element having been introduced, Protestantism, Roman Catholicism, and Free Churchbm being ranged against each o-her. ” May I ask what was the quarrel ? Who introduced the religious element into the matter? What is the difference between Protestantism and Free Churchism ? In what order were the three isms you have designated ranged against each other ? Were there two of them against the other one, or was it a triangular arrangement, like the duel recorded in Jack Easy pj: famous memory ? Answers to these questions will, I have no doubt, enlighten and instruct' you)? readers and the community at large, while they will also greatly oblige Your obedient servant, Thomas Kino. Green Island, 23 rd August, 1870. [Our report was correct; and if it was considered wise ou [he part qf the Un.Uu Times to have suppressed [be attempted to be called in question, how much wiser would it have beep had the parties themselves not brought t em before the Board. —Ed.
