DISORGANISES STATE EDUCATION. Mr Punches famous "Don't,*' on the subject of matrimony, uttered to t he world at large, is apparently not' being hearkened to in the teaching j.rtifession, to judge from some remarks which were heard at the meeting of the Wellington Education Board yesterday. The Board had,just accepted the resignations of certain teachers who bad decided to taste the joys and sorrows of matrimony. Mr A. H. Vile rose with some concern, and suggested that the Board had better look to its interests in this matter. It was a serious 1 thing to have teachers coming into the service for a year or so and then leaving to get married. "You can't stop them," said the chairman. "I am given to under.tartd,"' continued Mr Vile, "that quite a number of the girl students at the Training College are wearing engagement rings." "There's no remedy—they will do it," was all the comfort vouchsafed to Mr Vile, Mr Hogg said they shouldn't get so many pretty girls into the service, and added, with some levity, that trie Board might consider the queston of giving wedding presents to the happy couples. Whereat everybody smiled indulgently.—Dominion.
