BUSINESS TALENT REQUIRED
To the Editor “N.Z. Times.” • ■Sir, —Lord Kitchener, in the oiU'iy days of the war, complained bitterly of the unsuitability of the men for their work in. the War Office. Lawyers and men who had no commercial ability were placed at the head of departments which required the keenest business talent, and the. Array suffered greatly in consequence. In a lesser degree wo find in XeV Zealand in our parochial Parliamentary! affairs that men quite unsuited to their ta.sk are dumped into office for reasons which are not generally made public. An example of this nature is afforded' in the Education Department, where the use of a simple invention of dressbufctinji is being opposed by men who probably have never even cut out or made a pair of trousers. Women teachers, doctors, and principals of colleges have asked again and again for permission to use this system, and been refused—by men! Ye gods and little fishes! Mcthinks it is time that women' were represented in Parliament by women. —I am, etc., : OUT-OF-DATE.
