THE HIGH SCHOOL.

I To the Editor. 1 'Sir,—ln ii recent issue of your paper I noticed that the High School Hoard had not at that time managed to (ill the vacancies caused by the resignations of two of its members. Failing anyone else, how would it be to ask those gentlemen to shoulder the honors again? If they refused, then the Board will 1 •kave to adopt some other method, for,' of course, the vacancies must be filled, as the chairman has told us that he is going to make the school "live." ]i isn't so very "live" at present. How would it do to advertise the job, applicants to state remuneration required, and also to give in full their opinions as to the value of history, and to submit also an essay on the examination fetish. In addition to the "ad." in the wanted column, could the town crier be engaged for some line Saturday afternoon, or even a sandwiehman? Whatever scheme commends itself to the Board, there is no doubt, sir, that the town is suffering from the fact that the Board is minus two members, and in the interests of the higher education of our children I trust that some active steps, as suggested, will be taken without delay.—l am, etc., TENAX.
