Mr Thynk? made_a mis-stat«ment at a public meeting at Poxton when he Said that Poxton was not the only district that asked for a change from the Wanganui to the Wellington Education Board, as Palmerstdn and FeiWing also desired a change. There is no such feeling existing m Palmerston, as MrThynne affirms, nor do we believe m Feilding either. Palmerston haa no reason to he. dissatisfied with the regime of the Wanganui Board. Because Mr Thynne personally is hostile, he should not conceive that the district m which he resides is so also. At the meetina: at which the proposition was made to endeavor to get separated from Wanganui and attached to Wellington, nine . hands were held up for the proposition arid six against. Now, where' ia Mr Thvnne's assertion that the feeling of hostility was universal. The following extract from the leading col i) hi ns of the Wanganui Herald best explains the position. Our, contemporary says :— " We stood by Mr Thynne and the Foxton Committee m their complaintß till we were forced to acknowledge that they had notWleg to stand on, and then, as became .an jnd.e, pundont journal; proved l 'the,' ihconsis^ lenoy of the Committee's" :' 'oo'n'diiptV, Relating to the Otaki school district, * th/» correspondent of that placo writes to the same paper as follows ;— The Committee here are rather anxious that* it should be known that the article published last Wednesday week m the Manawatu Herald has not ' their sympathy m the slightest.

Under date March 2Gthtliß Home News says : — The universal depression m trade has largely increased the social wreckage of the great towns, as well as the actual criminal classes. It ia out of such elements that the mobs are formed which are inflamed by the speeches of Socialist orators. There appears to be nothing concertive or constructive m their outbreaks, but only a wild determination to sack the wealthier quarters of the towns.
