OPARURE SCHOOL.
Tha Editor.
Sir, —ln connection with the rpport of the Oparuze School picnic I am. sorry that no reference was made to «the eSorta of Mra Josephs, .or Mihinga. as the lady is more generally called, in getting the school established. It will be remembered by the "older residents of the district that Mrs Josephs gave the three acres of land on which the school is built to the Department, and also worked very '.hard to have the school established. gener'ods/acta are not to be forgotten as time goes on, and reference to, them . at-" the.-school functions would serve to give credit where the utmost credit is due.—l am, eti r OLD RESIDENT.
(Oat correspondent is perfectly correct in his statements* and we hEve much pleasure in recording the generous action referred to. At the opening of the school Mr Greenslade, who was then member for Waikato, suggested that -an inscribed tablet commemorating the facts should be placed in a suitable place in the school, but Mrs Josephs characteristically requested that the money would be more suitably expended on improving the road to the . school.—
