A Schoolmistress’ Ways and Means.
One of Dr. Holland’s letters to the Jones
es adddressed to Thomas Arnold Jones,
teacher, has brought out a reply from a fe
male relative of his. We cannot do better
for tbe class of school teachers, of both sex
es, than to allow Miss Mary L. Jones to
speak for herself:
You addressed a letter on school teach
ing to my brother, but inasmuch as
there are certainly six men to one wo
men engaged in the occupation of teaching,
I wonder you did not address your letter to
me.
