A COINCIDENCE.
In yesterday's issiue tho "Age" pxiblished an article suggesting 'that the proper method of securing an <uni-
fonmity in. tho promotion of school » teachers was to place the power of ■appointment and transfer ontirely in the hands of Education Boards. By a singular coincidence, the Hawke's Bay Herald of yesterday, in an 'article on the same subject, says.:— "If the Education Boards h>aid 'the control, as they should bare, it is possible that matters might be •fairly satisfactory, but under the present, .system, which gives the sohool committees the final voice, the resuit is often highly unsatisfactory. The fact is undoubted that in'.only too many cases a less qualified man is preferred to a more qualified ma.n. So ifar from the committee ibeing able to judge of the suitability of teachers for a particular post, the only considerations, as a rule, are purely personal or local, iln this way a double injustice is done. The school does not always get the host teaching, and the teachers do not get the encouragement and promotion which is their due."
