MATRICULATION.
Sir.—l ain indebted to A.TJ.G. for his answer on this subject, and particularly for his voluntary admission, i.e. " Somo professions are overcrowded and professional bodies have every' right to limit their numbers, etc." That is just the point for they have absolutely no right whatever to prevent others entering into the trade any more than the potato growers have to exclude others entering into their line just because at present there is a glut in potatoes. Nobody begrudges the academic section of the community studying as much as they like, but .they are not going to have the monopoly in all the cushy jobs and easy trades, for every one knows it requires less skill to pull teeth, fit spectacles, or mix drugs than it does to cook a gooddinner, and before the advent of the matrie., greater discoveries were made than the swat-bound academic representatives are making to-day.
