PILLARS OF THE STATE
THOSE WHO TEACH THE CHILDEEN. (By Telegraph—Spccial Reporter.) i Masterton, May 28. That many promising young teachers are lost to the teaching profession through tho absence of good prospects was deplored by speakers at the 'Wellington Farmers' Union Conference to dayW. B. Matheson (Eketnhuna) moved that tho Minister of Education be urged to carry through a, 100 per lent, increase of teachers' salaries. This would be a sound step towards national ij|icicncy. Mr. Matheson said that thjjro were not half a dozen teachers in Ne«v Zealand who were receiving over JMOG a year. The teacher should be a man we could all look up to, for in hia hands lay tho future of many children, and therefore 'ie waf indeed a pillar of the State. To be sure of having the services of the best iren for the service, better salaries should be offered. The motion was carried almost unanimously. Mi W. J. Moore (Mnlcuri) opposed tUe motion, saying that tiiere was no evidence before the conference that teachers were not well enough paid, and adding that ho believed that they were well paid.
