WOMEN INSPECTORS.
APPOINTMENT IN SPECIAL CASES. Wellington, Yesterday. The fitness of women as school inspectors came before the Council of Education yesterday. Miss Coad moved that women be appointed to the inspectorate. All 1 Caughley, director of education, while agreeable to the suggestion, did not think women could undertake all duties that fell to the lot of an inspector. For instance, he had to make long and tiresome journeys into the backblocks and rely for shelter iii wayside huts. It was a common occurrence for an inspector to pack up his swag and ride on horseback for a day over the roughest country in the Dominion. Aliss Wilson said she was quite capable of performing the work of a male inspector. It was decided that women be appointed only in special cases.
