In reference to the extraordinary effect of the depreciation of the value of money in Vienna, Dr. Ada Paterson, in speaking, recently, said that when paying for any simple thing it was customary to add at last 1500 kronen to the price, and at luncheon one day at a restaurant they had the moat disconcerting bill presented to them. Its size was enormous, apparently, but when "boiled down" it proved to be the moderate amount of eighteenpence 'each. A bath cost 3000 kronen, which, before the war, would have meant about £50 in English money, but which is but, a few pence nowadays.

The appointment-of a,-woman to ths-in-spectorate for technical education was urged in a letter received by the Auckland Education Board from tie board of managers of the Christcbjirch Tech nical College. It was stated that the matter would come before the department shortly owing to the retirement of Mr. C. E. Isaac,'the opinion being expressed that an additional inspector, who should be a woman, ought to be appointed to inspect the work of classes in domestic science, household arts, and home-mak-ing generally in both the technical and primary schools. The supervisor of the manual and technical branch, Mr J P Kalaugher, fully concurred in this opinion, and urged that the board support the proposal.

In speaking- about the size of American hotels, Dr. Ada Patersott said ,at the Pioneer Club reception that' two thousand bedrooms, -with their accompanying bathrooms, seemed to be quite -usual ; while aho heard of another which was to be larger than those by a thousand.

He asked for Dr. Paterson, of New Zealand, and the operator said, "Where is New Zealand, anyway?" Ho explained that it was so many thousand miles away, and she said, "Shall I put yon on to the longdistance, 'phone?" It was impossible to imagine that this country was at all well known in America.
