"DROP THAT DRIVEL!"
EQUALITY OF THE SEXES.
MALE OR FEMALE TEACHERS.
"Times" and "Sydney Sun" Services.
LONDON, April 14
At the Teachers' Conference, Miss Croxon moved that equal pay be given to men and women.
She asserted that girls, as the future mothers of the race, were every whit as important as the coming fathers. A male delegate interjected: "Drop that silly psychological drivel." Another male delegate remarked that teaching was rapidly becoming a woman's profession. The male teacher would soon be as extinct as the dodo.
The proposal was defeated by an overwhelming majority.
