EDUCATION POLICY.
POST-PRIMARY SYSTEM. New Plymouth, February 24. The proposal of the Education Department not to appoint a successor to the organising teacher who had left the Taranaki district was the subject of representations to the Hon. H. Atmore by the Education Board on Saturday. The Minister replied that the provision of training colleges in all the chief colleges and model country schools had raised the standard of teachers, and done away with the necessity of organising teachers. He was not surprised to hear that 'inspectors could not find sufficient work for them. Whereas three years ago there were 32 uncertificated teachers in Taranaki, to-day there was only one. In reply to numerous applications for increased accomlmodation, the Minister said that nothing would be none until some decision was mado regarding the general policy of post-priiniary education, a proi nouncement regarding which would be made in about a fortnight. If the top classes were taken away from the primary schools, the position would be relieved, though accomlmiodation would have to bo found somewhere.
