BACKBLOCKS TEACHERS.
lii the Wellington education district-, as in ether part-; of the Dominion, tlio utmost difficulty is experienced in procuring toachers for the bactobloeks seh-v.')is.. It is that teachers arc mt nvailnblrs. Whenever a. vacancy for a schr.ol near a city is advertised, there arc a scon* or more applicants, for the position. The difficulty seems to be in the isolation and comparatively small pay offered, A teacher who goes out into the wilds has little or no opportunity of improving his, or her scholastic status. The time is coming when the salaries for backblocks teachers will ljavo to bo considerably increased, and opportunities afforded, by correspondence and otherwise, for these, officials to improve their knowledge and fit themselves for larger schools.
