VAGARIES OF SCHOOL COMITTES.
(To the Editor of uh~ Tuapesa Times ) Sir, — Our Lawrence School Committee must have a strange idea of justice and liberality. A vagrant showman with, a Punch and Judy comes into our district, asks and obtains the use of the schoolroom free, and yet the same con - mittee wh n applied to by one of our resident clergymen for the us<s of the schoolroom in which to teach young men free of charge after their wording hours (notwithstanding the laudable attempt of the rev. gentleman) charged him five .-.hillings a week for the use of the room, hvidently the committee think the instructive and elevating exhibition of Punch and Judy superior to the education of our working classes. By the way, I am also informed that a member of our Church Committee, wirh the same noble liberality, gave the use of lamps, &c, purchased by the congregation for their own use, to the itinerant stroller. — I am, &c, A Workixg Mast. Tuapeka, November 15, 1870.
