THE HIGH SCHOOL.
To the Editor. Sir, --As you have been good enough to insert my letter about the High School in your yesterdays issue, I have read with much regret the communication of “Self-reliance.” How your correspondent can suppose for a moment that his narrow-minded ideas can find lavor withthe public, I cannot understand. To make the High School, as a superior establishment for education, self-supporting for some years to come, is simply not possible, and any money the Government spends on this school in trying to make a, first-rate seat of learning, is indeed well spent. As for reducing the staff < of teachers, I would be very glad if the Go- I vernment would increase their number. No i school of this class in the whole world pays the 1 necessary expenses —not even in Germany, ]
where education is known as being cheap. By all means let us support the High School, after We have seen what the new rector has made of it, as I have no doubt the Government will grant free education there to clever and deserving boys from the district schools.—l am, &c., T H Dunedin, March 3.
