CORRESPONDENCE.

OUR HEADMASTER

To the Editor.

Sir,—At the annual meeting of householders called to elect a School Committee for the Clyde Quay (Wellington) School, attention was called to fhe fact that Mr W. T. Grundy had been headmaster of the school for a period of twenty-ono years. It was ab once decided to mark the occasion by some form of testimonial to Mr Grundy. It will be remembered that prior to his appointment to Clyde Quay Mr Grundy had charge of Masterton School, and when he k-ft many felt there would be difficulty in getting a worthy successor. Mr W. H. Jackson was then appointed, aud the steady, consistent development of educational interest in various forms in Masterton U largely the result of his ability and persistent effort. The incident at Clyde Quay suggests that we too in Masterton may well express our appreciation of the services of the headmaster of the Masterton District High School. Mr R. Brown, the chairman of cur School Committee, is just now away from Masterton, but as the result of speaking to several this morning hearty agreement with the suggestion is found to exist, and it is proposed to restrict the subscription *o one shilling, that all may jin in. Fending a meeting to be called, Mr George Cullen, solicitor, Mr J. Brown, Age Office, Mr A. Wi9e, 'Daily Times' Office, or myself, will be glad to confer with those interested.—l am, etc., CHAS. E. DANIELL.
