HAMILTON COMMON SCHOOL HOUSE.

Sib, — £ see from the Tims that nearly all th» district* in Wailtato are getting school houses of their own, aud that even H&utapu haa received, a grant of £80 from the authorities and la about to rave the necessary balance by subscriptioa and giving a public eatertainm«mt. It 11 noisome time tinoe the new education commute* of this dutnob wu elected, but the publio hix heard nothing whatever about the treotion of a-i-obool home, although correspondence has been, leoeived from the Central Board, showing that i hey were willing to behave liberally toward* Hamilton West, if only the local committee w ould do their duty. That they hart done anything except write a fulioina letter to the representative of the district, I am not aware. I supnone they think it. •ufficient to have dove this, and th»t having prayed to the local Jupiter, the waggon will »c lifted out of the mire without their putting their shoulder to the wheel. This ia Hamilton all over. On reference to your back numbers I find that Vlr Danvers collected a considerable amount for the erection of a new r ohool house, and th*t one indivi iual alone had. iiomited £20. If thin be to, why i» not the subtciiption gone on with, aa there must be a earl> £^0 somewhere promixo i and in hani. I my«elf-contnbuted to« r nrds this auiouut, and I should like to mow whab iius been dou- with it, and how much ha« be«n oolleote<i, nnd why the. ua&tter i» lefc to Btaud atill aa is the oa-»».
