THE SCHOOL COMMITTEE.
(To the Editor of the Moctnt Ida Chronicle
Sir, —Formerly there was wont to appear in your columns a report of the various meetings of the School Committee. Of late I have sought for these reports in vain. This is the stranger as there are rumors abroad that the School Committee and the teacher are at loggerheads. Now, Sir, if such be the case, the public have a right to know what is the cause v>f the disagreement, and to what length it has gone. Surely the School Committee have not had the imprudence to close their doors against the representative during their hours of meeting. If so, their meetings will have become of the "hole and corner" stamp, and the practice should be at once exposed by you with the view to its being remedied. If, on the other hand, the press has had access to those meetings, it was its b unden duty to "publish the proceedings, more particularly at a time like the present when ".education is the great question of the day. When, Sir, you can find space in your columns for lengthy and senseless letters like those of "Thiggiu Thu," I have the less hesitation in requesting the insertion of the present short note. —I am, <fec, Fa ib Plat.
