STRIKE BY TEACHERS
Protest In Scotland
(N Z.P.A -Reuter—Copyright) GLASGOW, May 8. More than 5000 of Glasgow’s 7000 school teachers went on strike today in protest against "proposed dilution” of the Scottish grammar school teaching profession by the introduction of non-graduate teachers. About 130,000 of the city’s 180,000 schoolchildren have been told to stay at home until next Monday, when the strike is expected to finish. More than 100 schools were without teachers, and the remainder were understaffed. Nearly 4000 of the strikers at a mass meeting demanded that "steps be taken to obtain control of entry to the teaching profession by the profession itself, and salary negotiating machinery acceptable to the whole profession.”
