[To The Editor of the SPECTATOR.]

Sta,—In your issue of January 28rd, " Old Reader " says : " Without any details before me, am I not right in stating that pre-War salaries were raised 150 per cent ? "

If " Old Reader " will apply to the National Union of Teachers, they will furnish him with the correct figures, which show clearly that thousands of teachers in this country are

paid starvation wages.—I am, Sir, &c., NEW READER.
