The 'Uniform' System, 1899	frontispiece
A cartoon by Ashley Hunter reproduced from The New Zealand Graphic and Ladies' Journal of 6 May 1899. The explanation to the cartoon runs: 'The public is beginning to realise the fact that our present methods of national education may not be absolutely perfect, and the question is being asked whether the educational clothing which a boy receives under the "Uniform Standard" system is that which best fits him for the practical work of life.'
