TO THE EDITOR. Sir, — Some time ago I saw a manifesto in your paper from a Mr T. Bell, to the effect that he was appointed by the Education Board to teach singing in the schools of the Waikato, under the " Tonic Sol Fa system." Now, Sir, us that gentleman has never once put his foot inside the school of this township, may I ask you — for the information of the good ladies who are desirous to get up a choral class here — upon what system of taxation the young olive branches of the more favoured and pretensions settlements of Hamilton and Cambridge are to have their vocal powers trained, whilst the promising young flowors of this and other frontier settlements are allowed by a paternal Government to "waste their sweetness in the desert air." — I am, ike, Pimus IxsiaNia. Kihikahi, January 23, 1880. '
