MISS HEDWIG WEITZEL.
Several of the extreme Labour organisations in New Zealand, together with the National Peace Society, have passed- resolutions protesting against the alleged "victimization" of Miss licdwig Weitzel. who has been expelled from the Victoria University and the Wellington Training College. Miss Weitzel. it will be remembered, was lined £lO for distributing seditious literature. The fact that her University comrades collected the amount of her line, is evidence that she was exercising tm unhealthy influence over her fellow-students. If the Minister of Education had permitted a vounc: lady
of Miss Weitzel's peculiar mentality to enter the teaching service, he would
have earned the reprobation of every patriotic citizen in the Dominion. He has done the right thing in removing her from a position in which she might do incalculable injury by the disseminating of doctrines of a pernicious character. Those workers who arc entering protests arc paying a poor compliment to the 100,000 soldiers who fought to maintain the integrity of the Empire.
