MR WALCOT IN REPLY.
SECOND EDITION
[to the editor]
Sir. —ln your leader last evening you express a desire to know what in my opinion is meanness. I call it mean for a man who can afford to pay to allow his children attending the Timaru Public School to use the requisites provided by the liberality of the parents of other children and contribute nothing himself. I do not call it mean for the Timaru School Committee, on iinding themselves through no act or fault of their own unable to supply those requisites, to ask the parents of children attending the school to help them to do so.—l am, &c., R. B. WALCOT, Chairman Timaru School Committee. [Our opinion differs. We coinsider it a mean thing for any School Committee to set a bad example to the rest of the colony by imitating the organgrinder’s monkey.—Ed. S.C. Times.]
