TEACHERS' SALARIES.
PROPOSED INCREASES^
(Per Press Association.)
. WELLINGTON, August; 10. ;".| The Minister for Education announces that Cabinet ■ has . agreed ;,to find about another £250,000' a/year for primary school teachers. This will be available for distribution as soon^as a just and equitable scheme of increase is got out. Provision is also being made for increases for technical, native, and secondary teachers. The Hon. O. J. Parr proposes to ask Parliament to pass legislation to do away with the present system of paying technical and secondary teachers out'of the capitation grant, and to substitute a more satisfactory basis. Any delay in the payment of increases to technical and secondary teachers is not going to be material, as payment will be retrospective to A-pri}'A. . t Referring^, to the exception *taken''W; a statement which he is alleged to have m ade, in Parliament, that^ .teachers had already received 66' per * cent. * increase on pre-war salaries, Mr Parr explains that what he intended to convey, wa.s that, as the result of many increasespaid to teachers frpm_ 1914^ to 1920;. the annual cost of public school -teachers' salaries had- increased.'jbjy '66rsper cent., He did not intencj at all,ti? convey the impression that' each*'teacher! had received an increase of 66 per cent., bep cause -that was »not correct.
