MORNINGTON SCHOOL.

To the Editor. Sir, — I rejoice in knowing that tho columns of your journal are ever open to defend the cause of injured merit in whatever position of society it may be known tq exist. So in reference to an advertisement for a schoolmistress for the district of Mornington, I do perfectly coincide with your correspondent that there is some misunderstand* ing, or rather a mischievous understanding, with some of the school committee, which the inhabitants of the district will do well to investigate thoroughly ; for where it is shown that prevarication abounds, as a na« tural result all confidence is destroyed ; and to show that such i? the case at Momington, I will state a single instance. It has been made a current report to us in Dunedin that ill-health is the cause of the schoolmistress resigning ; therefore judge my surprise on reading your correspondent’s letter on the subject, and I set myself about to obtain information on the subject—the truth if I could find it—and the result is, that doubtless t’-cre is, or has been, a something “out of order,” and for which the children wih again suffer a drawback in their educational progress, as. it is impossible that so many changes can occur without hindrance, and the parents must suffer by having to pay for results altogether unsatisfactory and disheartening. Sir, I regret to impose on your space ; but you will at once see the object, and I trust espouse it, I am, Ac., Donedik JnneJ, 1872.
