OTHER PEOPLE’S IDEAS
USE OF COLLEGE HALL (To the Editor) Sir, —As a member of the commtitee of the Masterton West Home & School Association, may I be permitted to enter a very strong protest against the altitude of the Wairarapa College Board of Governors in refusing our application for the use of the College Assembly Hall to hold our children’s fancy dress dance? I would like to know, how and why, they consider our association an “outside organisation.” Their refusal of our application means that all primary schools in the Masterton district are forbidden the use of the College buildings, which, I understand, were built for the betterment and education of our children. After all the primary children of this year are the secondary children of next year. It seems incredible that we have a board of governors who cannot define the difference between letting the hall for open dances and a fancy dress dance of a primary school. The decision of those members who voted against our application, to say the least, is pathetic, and a continuance of their attitude will be to the detriment of the children of the Masterton district. —I am, etc., H. L. ESAU. Masterton, April 2.
