* * * * Teaching is commonly regarded as a

rather ill-paid profession, which owes its attractions to other 'compensations —such as long holidays and the nature of the work itself. But the High Mastership of St. Paul's, vacated by the appoint- ment of Mr. Bell to the Headmastership of Cheltenham, is being advertised, I understand, at a salary of £2,500 with house. St. Paul's, of course, is a great school, and it has the wealth of the Mercers' Company behind it. Not many such salaries are available, but it is well that men entering the profession should know that there are substantial rewards there for some. * * * *
