COERESPONDENCE.

To the Editor of the Nelson Evening Mail. Sir— Kindly allow r rae through your medium to thank your correspondent "One who was present " for the correction he afforded tne in your Wednesday's issue. I certainly was under the impression that a member had proposed instead of only having given notice of proposing at next meeting, and strangely enough others have been under the same impression. The accusation of personality I entirely repudiate, and would remind" One who was present " that if by. the reserve be inculcated he meant silence until .the motion had passed it would have been anything but " better taste." And after the letters so recently published on the subject of , destroying books, the notice' of motion could- but ; be considered as -personal. enough to the< orjgina-. tor of the discussion. Respecting -the upright 7 and impartial behaviour of the Board I can , only ' say I have as high an estimation of their, judicious, interest in the cause of education as anyone, and should, deeply regret were any "remark of m3ne J to -'-*. be differently construed. On the contrary.l.cpnsider we are all greatly indebted 1 to tho Central Board for their fostering care in securing for , us so excellent a systeni of education, without invading those religious privileges we naturally watch with such jealous care. . .77..,. , '"* ',"'7 1 am, &.c.,'.
