The other day an Elaglißh schoolmistress brought an action against a man fartho sum of £2 2s, feee owing for his daughter. The child had been taketr away from school without any warning, and the fees were clain.ed: in lieu of a quarter's notice. The defence of the lather was that the schoolmistress was ai suffragist, and he could not allow his child (aged. 10) to stay in the suffragist atmosphere It was proved that although ■the teacher was a suffragist—niOit a suffragette, which is vastly dlifferent— she did not in any way •■neglect her duties or her pupils, and the judge decided th'a,t she was entitled, to the school fees claimed. ■
