To the Editor of the "NortH-Curwa Dai News"
Si—I wrote to your esteemed Paper under this caption on July 30 lof this year and again crave hospitality for the benefit of the Public [School teachers who are precluded rom airing their grievances in the ipublie press.
I suppose nobody will bother to Iprotest about the lotter from "An-lather Ratepayer," but it would be interesting to know what the said ratepayer wants school teachers to do. They must teach and look after lot of spoilt and undisciplined chi surprisingly dren, devote their time to take the place of the family, correct and review exercises, etc. Is not that} enough; must they also send the bills out to the parents who neglect ito pay the school fees?
I read in every Shanghai newspaper that the fees are to be paid jin advance; that is the rule in every' school and not only in the Public Why the parents who are respon-_ sible for. their children do not comply with these rules and not expose their children to the indignity of being shamed before their schoolmates from either the carelessness or deliberate neglect} jof their parents to comply with the, jules under which their children are being educated, I do not understand.
In the letter dated September 16, "Another Ratepayer" remarks that the teachers have early three months' holiday with full pay ang a' bait day extra on the dey of thet laponing of the school.
