TEACHERS' SALARIES.
(By Telegraph.—Press Association.) ]
WELLINGTON, this day,
At the Teachers' Salaries Commission, Mrs Francis urged that mistresses of separate infant schools, apart from other schools, should tform a separate grade. Under the headmasters' proposal her school would ba shut up, as out of 445 in it there were 163 who were over seven years, and, they were not sufficiently advanced to go to another school. The proposal of the headmasters was actuated by a desire to increase their attendance under the new scale. Mr Bennett, headmaster at Karori, said under the present system of paying- teachers in the Wellington district anomalies and injustices occurred. The salaries paid for the large Wellington schools under the alternative scale were more adequate than at present. He considered there were too many pupil-teachers ia this district, and there would not be employment for those now being trained for many years to come. He did not find any general demand for equal salaries for men and women, and if that principle was put into operation the keener competition that would ensue must result in the breakdown of the women. ,
