The case of Mrs. Bridget Peixotto has formed a precedent in New York. Instead of receiving leave in view of prospective motherhood, Mrs. Peixotto was dismissed by the New York Education Department. Mrs. Peixotto contested the case, which was heard in several courts. Now the State Commissioner of Education in New York has decided that prospective mothers may have leave of absence for two years, and that it is unlawful to dismiss any teacher on such grounds. The decision is greeted with wide approval. The wife of a member of the 10th North Otago Company, Otago Infantry Battalion, has submitted to the Otago Daily Times letters she received from her husband, written by him in the last few days prior to the embarkation of the New 'Zealand forces from Egypt for the Dardanelles. She has done eo because, as she says, these letters show the fine spirit of some of the married men who have gone to the front, leaving behind them wife and children and all they hold dear m order that they may fight for the honor of women and children. <r We are all well and hearty," the writer of the letter says, "and quite ready for the fight as the sooner we get into it and get it over the sooner we will come home." There are frequent exhortations in the'lctters, also, to his wife and family to be brave during the,, period of anxiety and suspense they have to undergo. The soldier's wife expressed a hope that the young unmarried men in the Dominion will "buck up" and show the married men who have none that they are not less high-spirited and courageous.
