'A'AT - 1 I Thecommi&ee'pb^ teachers^appear r to. be '.ioa^re, largely ' employed 'in. schboia Jn, .the. -_outherh districts than in schools of ft f similar elze in tbe Wanganui district.: This employment ;/ 0f ... pupil ' tebcherja in place of assistant masters or mistresses deflects a ■ considerable saving in the cost of teaching power, and ,the . committee suggest that, as circumstances permit, changes ; might be made in the direction "indicated. To ■ijuote an example :[. Tin. Palmerston '^Tprth (Central School), ? with;* an . Average of 326, the Board employs Jive teachers and three pupil teachers in Otago . • and North Cfinterbury, a echool of: similar strength is officered by four teachers and four pupil teach-ers.-AThe difference in cost is apparent!. The committee also, recommend that the ' regulation; providing dfor an increase iv , teaching power where the attendance is increased by Xraduathpo !.of 25, should not be en- ' forced, after a limit of, say, 250 had tjbeen reached; '. From -that point the strength of the staff should be fixed "by the Board according to the. special circumstances of each case,. ASSISTANT TEACHERB. ; Seeing that the cost of an assistant •jaasteris so much higher than that of an mistress Ihecommittee suggest t^iat regulations ; be r amended proiha, attendance necessary for^an r assistant master, ahould be at leas.i- 12 more ithan is required for an assistant mistress.— Herald.
