MATAWHERO SCHOOL.
TO THE EDITOR. Sir, —At the annual meeting of the ratepayers in the district of Matawhero, to elect a school committee, there were some discrepancies in the financial statement, made by the Chairman, not satisfactory to the meeting. The meeting decided to adjourn the monetary part of the business until the Chairman communicated with the Education Board. It also decided that the Chairman should convene a full committee to discuss the financial business. The Chairman has called an unadvertised meeting, at an hour’s notice, ignoring me as a member of thtf Committee ; what his object was I cannot tell, knowing the financial business requires an explanation. Can you inform me if that is the proper way to carry out the Education Act.—Yours, &c., Thomas Wright, Matawhero. [We cannot give Mr Wright the information he seeks. The Matawhero School Committee ignores us in the same way as it ignores Mr Wright. It is, however, not proper for the Chairman to overlook any of the members when convening the Committee.— Ed. P.B.S.]
