SAME HERE 1 The following letter appeared in a recent issue of the St, Marys Jour- nal': "To the Editor : Dear Sir,—In 1014, just before the war began, statistics showed the fol- lowing : In the German Empire— Men teachers, 148,217 ; women teach- ers, 39,208. In England and Wales— Men teachers, 42,573 ; women teach- ers, 127,842. Does the German, taught chiefly by men, stand higher in our estimation today than the Englishman, taught chiefly by wom- en ? We find efficiency in both hut we like the character of the English- man better,"—A Citizen. BEEN GIVEN HIS COMMISSION. J. G.

In England and Wales— Men teachers, 42,573 ; women teach- ers, 127,842. Does the German, taught chiefly by men, stand higher in our estimation today than the Englishman, taught chiefly by wom- en ? We find efficiency in both hut we like the character of the English- man better,"—A Citizen. BEEN GIVEN HIS COMMISSION. J. G.
