AUCKLAND, Last Night. At the Board of Education meeting this fternoon a letter was read from Mr J. P. Vause, of Te Aroha, as follows : " I respectfully beg to ask whether Chinese children are admitted to public schools, anil if not whether you are aware that a Chinese hoy is now attending Te Aroha public school (apparently with the sarction of the School Committee, as no notice had been taken by them of the matter) having commenced to attend on Monday last." The writer went on to protest against his children being associated with " such loathsome and objectionable characters as the Chinese," more especially as the lad l ; ved in squalid filth in a shanty a few feet square, known as a den of opium smoking and other vices (!) and it ivas very wi pleasant to come within several yards of him. The writer wished to know if the Board had the power to exclude the hoy. The Board referred the letter to the Te Aioha School Committee.
