PRINCIPAL OVERWORKED
MINISTER CRITICISED FOR OVERDUE APPOINTMENT BOARD’S CAUSTIC COMMENT Press Association WELLINGTON. Today. The Hon. H. Atmore came in for severe criticism at today's meeting of the Education Board. The chairman took exception to the manner in which a conference had been arranged at Silverstream. He wanted it laid down very clearly that the board came next to the Minister. No Cabinet Minister, Mayor or Director came before the chairman of the board in his own particular district. "Another point at issue is the appointment of a vice-principal of one of the training colleges,” -said the chairman. A meeting of the board chose the most suitabe candidate, and asked in March for the Minister's approval, but up to now nothing has been done. It would almost appear that the Minister wanted a certain individual appointed whom the Board of Advice did not think could be considered. I have been endeavouring to point out the very unfair position in which the department is placing the Principal of the Training College in asking him to do two men’s work for three months.” The chairman continued that the Hon. H. Atmore had promised to attend to the question of an appointment on his return to Wellington, but he had come and gone, and had come and gone again, and nothing had been done.
Before the meeting closed, a resolution was carried: “That tile Minister be written to. pointing out that his action in withholding the approval of the board's recommendation to the vice-principalship was causing serious disability to the working of the Training College concerned, and that he be urged to make his decision at once.” CONTROL OF EDUCATION CONFERENCE TO BE HELD (Special to THE SIX) NEW PLYMOUTH, Today. The Taranaki Education Board has decided to hold a conference at New Plymouth on July 1 to discuss the suggested unified control of education in the district. The chairman and two members of each High School Board will be invited to be present.
