Man's Monopoly. One of the- remits brought forward at the conference of the N.Z.E.I. proposed that duly-qualilied women teachers only should be in charge of tho upper slaiidurd girls in the schools. This remit was turned down on the ground that this would be creating special positions for women teachers. The reason given was distinctly humorous in the face of the fact that those responsible for turning down the remit have a monopoly of such positions as first assistantsiiips in the better schools, headmastcrships in tho better schools, inspectorships and organising teachcrships. And this was done by a sex that, has claimed in the past a monopoly of logic and humour. However, there is another aspect to this question. Would not most mothers, if they thought tho matter over, prefer that their growing daughters should be taught by women aud not by men. In America, from-New York to Kan Francisco, women teachers aro the dominating factor in the schools. - Women have charge of the infants; wornon have charge of the lower standards, possibly because that work is distasteful to men, and women have charge of the upper standards for girls, for the simple reason that anything else would not he thought desirable. All that is left for men are the upper standards for boys. Tho idea is that teaching is considered to be peculiarly women's work, and thai; there were other fields into which men could put their energies. It may be remarked in passing that American schools are said to be second to none. Yet another remit that was turned down was one. urging that women should bo m.ido eligible for inspectorship appointments. Presumably had this remit been carrjed. women inspectors would not have been appointed unless they were qualified, and why, if they aro qualified, should they not in a country that claims to ho democratic, _ be appointed. All that is wanted is equal opportunities for both men and women, provided the children do not suffer. Teachers are for children, and not the children for the teachers.
