Dr. Lyon Playfair complains that, whereas the 30,000 medical men of England are protected by law against the competition of unqualified practitoners, the 150,000 teachers have no such protection' and have no recognition r m the face of the law as constituting a distinct profession. Anyone who ha^t failed m any other calling may, if hjp* please' open a school or seminary, anfi no one can question his right. Dr. Playfair intends to move m Parliament for a bill to determine the qualification of teachers, and to exclude from that profession all but duly registered aspirants. A man has invented a chair which can be adjusted to 8,000 different posstionß. It is designed for a boy to sit m when having his hair cut.
