London’s shortest anain line is the Great Western Railway, which has only 42.5 miles of passenger railway lines in Greater London. “Teachers get any amount of concessions as it is,” declared Mr. iA. W. Jones, of Southland, at the Education Boards’ Conference in Wellington recently, when a remit suggesting that the department be requested to withdraw the regulation which required deduction of •holiday pay in the case of teachers who had been obliged to take leave of absence without salary was before the .conference, “Teachers only work on 200 days of the year and, they enjoy three months’ holiday. Holiday leave, at present is vei-y liberal and I do not think we should rush into these tilings so lightheartedly.” . A word for the teachers was. spoken by Mr. T. Forsyth, .Wellington, who expressed the. opinion that the average man did not work us hard as the teacher. The conference adopted the amendment.
