"Woman-ridden Age"

Recently, the Board of Education at London settled the teachers' salary question by adopting Lord Barnham's proposal that women receive 83% of men's wages. Last week, the National Association of Schoolmasters met at Nottingham, condemned women teachers out of hand, said they were responsible for increase in juvenile crime, demanded that every boy over 7 be taught by men, declared that women were unable to understand or control boys.

The National Union of Teachers, which also met last week and in which women have the most powerful voice, announced that the segregation of boys and girls in schools was "silly and unhealthy and ought to be relegated to the madhouse; a product of war and pugnacious prancings by the National Association of Schoolmasters."
