SWEATED TEACHERS.
The quarrel between the teachens of Herefordshire and "the county education authority, which has culminated in the resignation of a hundred headmasters and headmistresses, is of more than merely local importance, says the London Daily Mail. The future of a people depends largely on the education of their children, and it is essential that their instructors should not be underpaid. The eult of economy is in itself laudable, but when a county boasts, that its educar tion rate is the lowest in the kingdom, while the salaries of its head teachers are about £SO . belowthe average for the whole Couiitry, it becomes fairly oivious tfyit, economy is encroaching on efficiency.
