THE SCHOOL COMMITTEE.

. . \To the Editor. Sib, —Perhaps you will allow me a little space to close the correspondence, on my aide at least, in regard to the re cent action to the School Committee. l«t. " Householder" presumes that I should know what was meant if my vestry . Were to ask me to res<gn my present posi tion. Certainly I should know what was . meant I should understand that they considered me incapable of properly filling that position. . I should, I hope, believe that they were actuated by a due anxiety for the welfare of the parish. If I considered them mistaken in their opinion I should use my "right of appeal," calling a meeting of parishioners »nd lay ing my case before them. If the meeting condemned me and I still considered myself misjudged, I should request my • Bishop and his Standing Committee to institute an enquiry, and I should abide the result. There is a very fair analogy between the two cases. 2nd. "Householder" considers that the readiness of the Committee to undergo ~~ public critioisxn is an instance of the biblical saying, " The wieksd fleeth when no man pursueth." I leave the public to judge whether his logic is sound. 3rd. "Householder" taunts me with '' the Chairman's refusal to supply Miss Harband with the reasons of the Commit tee's resolution. The taunt, as " House holder" must be aware, is unfair. Neither the Committee nor any member of it were responsible for this refusal, and in mj last letter I expressed my regret that it " had been given. Moreover, at the meet ing held yesterday morning, I proposed a resolution, which was carried—" That a . copy of every document which was to be - forwarded to fch* IMTi'»fiH'*n "Board should be sent to Miss Harband." I could - - . more.' "With reference to Miss Harband's let ter, I must admit that I was under a mis apprehension as to the length of < time she rhad'baea aware of -the discussions of the -.Committee in reference to the fourth . standard, and, at the same time, I may ♦ assure her that my last letter was in print before the correspondence to which she refers was hud on the table of the Com* mittee.. - - ',. Thanking you, Sir. for the apace you have allotted to my letters, —I am, etc., - E. A. Scott. . Ashburton, Jane 27, 1884.
