In .her report to the High Schools Board of Governors Miss I>. N. Allan, headmistress of the Girls’ High School, reported that 50 girls out of 120 firstvear pupils were taking the commercial rmr.se, says the Taranaki Herald.

Of late there lias been a good deal of discussion as to the difficulty of finding work for hoys, and it .seems probable that it is not any easier for girls who have had a secondary education to find suitable occupation. Teaching is the natural opening for the more able girls, but the competition for appointments is now so severe that they are not easy to secure. Nursing can absorb a fair number of girls, but the work is harder and worse paid than -teaching, so it only appeals to those who have a natural bent foi it. Probably as time goes on the educational standard required from nurses will be raised, .so as to demand a. secondary education from en-ndi tales. Apart from teaching and nursing, almost the only opening is commercial work, since under present conditions high school girls do not often take up domestic work. RHEUMATIC SUFFERERS . ARDENT WISH.
