TEACHERS' GRADING.
GROUP CLASSIFICATION URGED. (Per Press Association.) DUNEDIN, June G. After some years' experience of the present svstem of grading teachers the Otago Education Board is satisfied, savs the annual report, that it does not produce such good results as could be secured under a more elastic system, while it is alsd the cause of friction and dissatisfaction. The Board agrees that it is "desirable that teachers should be graded in order to secure systematic promotion in the service, but it is of opinion that this end Would be as well served by a classification of teachers in groups co-equal with the classification of positions. Such a system would obviate any necessity for attempting to gauge, the whole of the teaching profession in numerical order, which is a proposition incapable of realisation, and it would enable education boards to select from each group the teacher best qualified of any particular appointment. • In the opinion of the Board it would act as a spur to effort and solid service, and would be to the general advantage of the cause of education.
