Weekly Summary : [The Rev. Dr. Badham, of the Sydney University], single work column

The Freeman's Journal comments, ironically, on Charles Badham's proposal to teach French and Latin to working men living outside Sydney. The Freeman's finds the idea 'ludicrous', 'even in our age of humbugs', but invites all its readers to fill Badham's 'waste paper baskets with any amount of "rosa the rose", or "parlez-vous,"'. Even if it does their readers no good, the Freeman's suggests that it will 'occupy the time and talents of the head of our University – not a very easy thing it appears'.
