FALSE CLAIMS
MUSIC TEACHERS* TITLES The Music Teachers' Registration Board of New Zealand is concerned about the use of fictitious titles and distinctions by persons teaching music, according to the registrar of the board. Mr. E. C. Cacliemaille. He stated that there was no law to prevent this practice, although those who made false claims to existing distinctions, such as a music degree in the University of New Zealand, could be prosecuted. The board felt that the public should be warned of the deception thus practised, as there were persons trying to enter the musical profession as teachers or performers by making use of degrees from entirely unknown sources or of qualifications from examining bodies which had no recognition. These titles were entirely worthless, and there was evidence of definite harm to students from the work of these unqualified teachers.
