* •_• TO THEgEMTOE. SiE,-— Ha*ving, beep presentat the distribution of pHzes. at the school tQ-night, I was •very much surprised to see' such expensive prizes Awarded to the: few first class scholars. Now, Mr Editor, do/ you" not* think, it would have been for the first class prizes to have .cost- half the 'money; ; so that the younger brariches^may get prizes also ? Ido not thank it a- fair thing for a few advanced scholars to oarry off all the prizes, arid the little * child that strives to do its addition, sum 1 , to get noihducement to ixriprove.-^-I ami, Sir, One oe;..the Paeents. .„■ Palmerston Niorth, .
