HOUSING FOR TEACHERS
MMISTEH'S SUGGESTIONS
(Our Parliamentary Correspondent.).
WELLINGTON, September 22
j The difficulty experienced by Educa- ‘ tion Boards in staffing country schools, ,'was mentioned in the House. The MinI ister for Education replied that lie j realised that the lack of housing was one of the chief reasons why teachers did not care to igo to country schools. A proposal to erect small movable cottages, which could be packed where they were required had much to commend it and he agreed that the Department should assist financially in the provision* of these houses. The Minister added that hundreds of teachers now working in towns could get better money if they would go into .the. country., The. country children were suffering because they were taught bv linccrtilirntcd and unqualified teachers while betters teachers el rin gto the towns. He- proposed to meet this difficulty by providing increased payment for lower grade schools. Members would see, when the new scheme was presented! that the Department had s made an honest effort to attract teachers to the country schools.
