EDUCATIONAL MATTERS.
[PER PBESS ASSOCIATION. J Wellington, March 29. A deputation from the Education Board waited on the Minister for Education in connection with teachers' salaries. Mr. Walker, in replying, said he recognised the importance of the subject from every point, especially as to finances of districts and the efficiency of education in the colony. He mentioned that the standard attainments of teachers in various parts of the colony varied, some being not so high as others, and he would like this remedied. He did not approve of teachers' salaries being reduced when a Board found itself in financial difficulties. He was preparing a scheme for fixing the rate of salaries, and when it was ready for discussion it would be submitted to Boards throughout the colony, and he trusted it would be discussed in the fullest sense. In tbis manner he hoped to get an expression of opinion and their professional criticism of his proposals. Under the scheme only a margin of capitation would be at the disposal of Boards for general purposes, but their financial position would be improved and their work rendered less difficult. ,
