EDUCATION OF GIRLS
Sir—Does any good ever come out of writing to the papers? You have to-day a letter'signed "The Watchdog,' which exposes the inferiority of the education given to New Zealand girls, and tho consequent loss to the industrial and professional worlds. But who is moved thereby ? Who cares whether girls are "looked on ns fit only for tho home or domestic service, for knitting, washing cooking a chop, or sweeping a floor. Tho working mothers care-poor slavesbut thev are inarticulate. The teachers, for reasons of their own, add insult to tho injury done the girls by publicly stating that girls have the same opportunities as boys. They make this statement with their tongue in their cheek, for it is not true. I would like the working mothers to form a league and insist that their girls should be educated for something better than tho existence of a German lvausfran.—l nm, etc., BACHELOR UNCLE.
