Dr. Anderson: "Ministerial approval was given some time ago and has never beeu reversed." He added that only three districts were concerned >u tho matter. . , . Mr. Parr: Well, it appears that in eoino cases theso private teachers are carried free on the railways, while our teachers are not. I know of some eight or nine teachers being carried in this way. while Stale teachers lmve asked for the same concession and been refused., I feel this state of things cannot bo' allowed to continue. It is not logical. , I have quite made up my mind that this incongruity must cease and all teachers in future must be placed on. tho same level in this respect. 1
