VOLUNTEER HELPERS
TO THB EDIIOIk. Sii',—Why does "Honour to Whom Honour is Due" attempt to besmirch with, the lust for "tangible reward the brotherly love exhibited by the epidemic workers? The world is sadly wanting such love, and it is the lust and; greed for tangible rewai'd that is boxing us each in his narrow windowless cell and making us strangers one to another, aye, ■ and breeding mutual distrust in place of "the brotherhood of man." No, sir, away with such triflings as money or certificates fqr the noble Work accomplished by the voluntary epidemic workers—they have learned '"the luxury of doing good," and their Teward is not front departments of State. Your correspondent writes of "the intelligent men and women of the community, very largely our indifferentlypaid teachers." There is nothing to show that school teachers mote than drapers' assistants or some of the wharf Workers did better service. Indifferentlypaid or not, the school teachers will have had three months away from work without deduotion of salary.—l am, etc., IMPEIMATUR.
