PUBLIC EDUCATION.
Sib, —In your leader on the above subject on Thursday last you say in instituting a comparison with the distribution of prizes in Otago, “in Wellington, on the contrary, no notice appears to have been taken of the primary schools when breaking up for the* Christmas holidays." In reference thereto, allow me to speak for myself by stating that prizes were distributed in my school, by Mrs. Sharp at the time referred to, in the presence of a number of ladies and gentlemen, and that this ia an annual custom. In reference to the value of the prizes, I am bold in the belief that they comparo favorably with the prizes distributed in the public schools of Otago,—l am, &c., * Jeremiah Hurley. St. Joseph’s School, Boulcott-street. Wellington, January 2. [Mr. Hurley will perceive, on consideration, that his letter does not in the least affect our position with regard to the provincial schools of Otago and Wellington.—Ed. N.Z.T,]
