At a meeting of the Wellington Education Board, for the purpose of further considering the charges of immorality in the public schools preferred by the N.Z. Times and Mail, all the speakers strongly condemned the statements made by the papers in question, and also sharply criticised the Rev Coffey’s connection with the scandal. The Rev Mr Patterson said in his opinion the denominational party was behind the Times.
