;; f A. male teacher in Now South Wales has ' ' written to the -'-'Sydney Morning Horald" : suggesting that as it recently published tin . "article headed "The Teacher's Frock," snowing how liard it is for a lady teacher to' dress, another article should bo published under the heading "A Teacher's Trousers," " .-' to show the plight of the men. Ho rather ' ungallantly describes the lady toacher as a notoriously ovor-dressed -person. "As for myself," ho says, "1, have a service of aoout r : thirty years, the highest certificate possiblo 'by examination, and a family'of four. My salary is that of an ordinary mechanic. J." ' 'am obliged to dress well; my wifo and children aro obliged to do tho same; my wifo is : unablo to employ assistance, though in poor health herself, and sho does all hor own " "sewing and that of tho children, who often aro obliged to attend school in the clothes discarded by their parents. . I can honestly say that'l .do not . expend on .mv own clothes ' one. quarter of: the/money , used for dressing ..'by'9o per.cent. ;of the: lady,,teachers."-'
