THE LATE ENTERTAINMENT BY SCHOOLBOYS AT THE MASONIC HALL.
To tlie Editor.
Sir, —I notice by the newspaper reports that the beys at the above were tested in meutai arithmetic in the cube root. Sir, ia this correct ? I confess it staggered me. Would you, or any of your readers, oblige by giving a few specimens of the questions given. lam sorry l was nt present; had I known that this was to have come off I would nave been there. Were the questions given by the master or by one ot the audience? Please excuse me asking these things ; but i must say L am entirely sceptical in the matter, and think there is some mistake. It may be that lamto be pitied j but L am sorry to say that none of the schoolboys of my acquaintance can lay claim to any such proficiency, Excuse my impertinence.—l am, Ac., W. D. M. Dunedin, July 1.
