MARRIED WOMEN TEACHERS.
Sir,—New South Wales has given our Dominion .a lead which our Government would bo wise to follow. J refer to a recent enactment to do away with married women teachers in State schools whose husbands are in receipt of incomes of upwards of £5 a week. It is more than time tnat our own legislators realised how necessary is this overdue reform. Let the Stale, if sincere in its endeavour 1,0 solve unemployment, put its own house in order first. Then private employers will follow suit. 100 many of our difficulties are due to the participation of the fair sex in various branches of the professions and industry, without our longer suffering the present shameful position that our Education Department allows. H. S. Pa'.TON.
