This shows that the workinge lasses are, with their better wages, giving their children better education. The average increase of 37 per cent. in teachers' salaries, he said, is not sufficient, Laving regard

to the cost of living.

A GREAT IRISH PORT,

Interest is being revived in a pro. posal to make Galway a port of call- The Dublin Corporation, which in the year 1917 passed a resolution in favour of the creation of a great harbour at Galway to deal with the American and Canadian trade, has returned to the subject and passed another resolution in similar terms.

The proposer, Mr. Sherlock, said that he understood that within the next month the Dublin Chamber of Commerce and the Dublin Port and Docks Board would combine with the object of approaching the Gov- ernment to enable the undertaking to be started. He added that persons who were interested in the scheme were prepared to find £700,000 to wards building the barbour. The total cost of the work would be £2,000,000.
