Women in Education. ' A meeting of the Women Teachers' Association, which was held in tho Sydney Street Schoolroom last evening,'was addressed by Dr. Agnes Bennett, on tho subject of "The Economic Position of Women in. .Education," the.chair being occupied by Miss Myers, president of the association. Dealing very comprehensively with the isubject she had taken for her lecture, Dr. Bennett said that the greatest test of a great nation lay in the amount of freedom it could give its social unit and yet remain a coherent whole. Real freedom, however, would not be obtained here .till the principle of equal pay for equal work was established. If a woman allowed her work to bo undervalued in any one profession that.same wrong valuation was carried into other walks of life, and would prevail whoro the men of that occupation were receiving a minimum living wage' Dr. Bennett did not believo that tho freedom woman was gaining in world's work was I'olping a decrease tho birth-rate. It could not yet bo told whether intellectuality unfitted a woman for maternity. Women were-doiug their best to get tho truth' of this matter:. -The four women who had been appointed by the Birth-roto Commission that is'' to sit in London next year kav© made it their business to compare the number of their families with general statistics.. ' . x '. ■ .

A resolution congratulating the Minister of Education' on the progressive ; Bill brought down, particularly on the recognition of the principle that women should be associated with men in the control of education in this country by 'providing for the appointment of Women to the council, and to tho inspectorate,, but protesting against tho ..failure of the Bill, to recognise the principle of equal_ pay for equal work, and hoping that it would not pass without putting the women teachers in a just position, was carried unanimously.
