Foreign News: Teacher in Uniform

Should Bulgarian school teachers don uniforms varying in color according to the teacher’s rank? Should, for instance, a headmistress wear royal purple, a primary school teacher baby pink, a teacher of science electric blue? Should the uniforms extend below the knee?

Such were the questions which sophisticated Europeans discussed last week. For from Vienna came a report that the Bulgarian Government had decided that teachers should no longer dress at will, but should, instead, wear uniforms. But, also, European sophisticates, knowing how many unfounded rumors start in Vienna, gave only moderate credence to the story.
