THE PROPOSED SCHOOL OF AGRICULTURE.
TO THE EDITOR. Sir, —In reply to your correspondent, "No. 5," who plays upon the word "reserve," I desire to say that to the best of tny recollection the Waikato County Council, about IS months ago, applied to the Government that a block of land (called, I believe, the Peach Grove) should be set apart as a site for a School of Agriculture ; and their application was acceded to. The chain-nan of the council, Mr Primrose, and Captain Rnnciman, a councillor, were both in the room at the time of the remark, and would doubtless, if I had conveyed a wrong impression, have corrected me. The fact remains that the application of the council was gvanted, and nothing further has been done in the matter. "No s'' merely endeavours to throw dust in the eyes of the public by tortuous writing. The next time I address a Hamilton audience I shall be prepared with copies of the correspondence.—Yours obediently, G. W. Russell. Cambridge, June 25th, 1887.
