CORRESPONDENCE.

TO THE EDITOR. Slß,—Will you kindly allow me space in your valuable columns to explain how the lamp was not in the Mairoa school for the social held on September 11th. In regard to the Mairoa corespondent of September 18th re "Why was the blind horse like Mairoa school?s Because it had lost-the only light it had." It hadn't lost its only lamp, because it was only taken to be cleaned, as at the last Committee meeting I was unable to attend and they could not light the lamp and they had it screwed out of working order. I presented this lamp to the school about two years ago. My house is only a few chains from the school, and it could not have been hard for any person to come for.it, and they would have been shown how to work it as none of us were at the social and dance. But instead they threw the hangings into the open school shed and upset the fixtures so as the lamp could not be put up again until the fixtures are re-erec-ted. The settlers have been misled over the above so I trust you will insert the above to explain matters. Thanking you in anticipation.—l am, etc., R- CHESTNUT Mairoa, Sept. 18th, 1908.
