GOVERNMENT SCHOOL TEACHERS AND THE PRESS.

TO THE EDITOR. Sir, — Can you inform me if teachers under the Board of Education are allowed by the rules thereof to write letters to the public press? I know the Government; and many public bodies strictly prohibit their officers from writing to the newspapers. The sooner such a regulation is rigidly enforced by the Board the better for the peace of the people in and round about Te Awamutu. School teachers would be much better employed in studying for a certificate of competency than in studying to cause discord and illwill amongst the public whose servants they are. — I am, &c, Scribe. Te Awamutu, 22nd April, 1880.

The new Pure Cash System now being initiated by G. and C. will certainly prove a benefit to the public. It has been a groat success in Sydney and Melbourne, and when strictly carried out the customer .who buys at an establishment where the goods are marked low to ensure a rapid sale must be a great gainer. G. and C. sell their drapery, millinary, and clothing at such prices for cash as gives the buyer the advantages of a shareholder in a co-operative society, without the risk of being called upon to bear aportion of the loss should the year's business prove unsatisfactory. Garlick and Cranwell will aim to retain the confidence which the public have hitherto shown them, and are dctirmined to give the pure cash system a fair trial; whether they gain or lose the first year. Country buyers on remitting cash with order will be supplied with goods at co-operative prices ; just the same as though they made a personal se-' lection. Furnishing goods, such as carpets, floor cloths, bedsteads, bedding, and general house furniture, the largest portion of which is turned out at our own factory, will be marked at the lowest remunerative prices, and a discount of five per cent, will be allowed to those who pay at the time of purchase. G. &C. having realised the entire value of their stock during their late cash sale, the present stock is new and cheaply BOUGHT. An inspection is invited. — Garlick and Cranwell, City Hall Furnishing Arcatie, Queen - street, Auckland.
