“PERPETUAL MOTION”
THE TRANSFER OF TEACHERS. PROTEST IN PARLIAMENT. (By Telegraph—Press Association.) WELLINGTON, This Day. A protest against the frequent changing of teachers in primary school: was made by Mr Jull (Opposition Waipawa) when the Education Department’s vote was being discussed in the House of Representatives yesterday. Teachers were now being transferred at such a rate that it was impossible to keep check on them, complained Mr. Jull, who suggested that the Teachers’ Institute had gone to the extreme in connection with "this removal business.” The transfers caused expense to the teachers and the country, but generally the only way teachers could get promotion was to apply for schools in another district. Mr McCombs (Government, Lyttelton): “They don’t get removal expense, then.” “Surely we can reduce this perpetual motion on the part of teachers, some of whom don’t even unpack their bags —■ they are shifting so soon.” continued Mr Jull. He considered that teachers should not be given the right of appeal against promotions outside the university district in which they resided.
