EDUCATION AND THE WAR

STATE TEACHEKS AND MAiUST BKOTHJiKS" EXEMPTION. By Telegraph—Press Association. Auckland, June 28. The Auckland Branca oi the Educational Institute passed a resolution strongly HrocestiUj* ugaiuat tlic powers of veto' oi me Director oi Education over t'ue grading , ' by inspectors. It also placed on record the sense, of injustice likely to bu done to members and of the danger of creating a feeling !in the Dominion that tile calling up for military service is not being clone impartially 'in the following respects, and iur the lolkiwing reasons-.—That notwithstanding that the Teachers' Annual C'onicrence had decided not. to support tho appeals of .member, called up, teaching iiislitulioiis had bi'i'ii classed as essential. That this decision hud h.v:i delayed until pi'actkajly every available teacher in the Fhvit Division in tho Slate schools had responded to the call, whilst one sfction, the JUrist Brothers, had not. only not responded, but had sought exemption. That .these appeals had been allowed until the First Division was exhausted; y?t, that being in sight, this decision was reached, nominally placiir,' all teachers of the First Division under protection, but really securing it for this one section alone. That a section of teachers that by example, if not by precept, inculcates such a negative standard of loyalty and patriotism is loasl deserving of the protecting arm of the State.
