COST OF LIVING.
MORE FOR MALE OR FEMALE TEACHERS ? £BX TELEGRAPH — SPECIAL TO THE POST.} AUCKLAND, This Day. The vexed question of the cost of living was touched on at a meeting of the Education Institute yesterday, when a lady teacher said the male teachers had always argued as a reason why they should receive larger salaries that the cost of living was greater for them than for ladies. The spenker tersely characterised this argument as "humbug," and remarked that women almost invariably had to pay more than men. She said that in Auckland nearly every boarding-fconse-keeper demanded more from a woman than a man, and that if the gentler sex wanted to ensure themselves against old age, or wasted to buy a pension, they had invariably to pay more. Further, the lady said very often women teachers had to support an aged mother, and in cases of widows hud to support a family.
