TEACHERS' CODE.
A CLAUSE RESENTED
"ARROGANT ATTITUDE." EDUCATION BOARD VIEW. (By Telegraph.—Press Association.) CHJRICTCHURCH, this day. Described as "an insult," a clause in the "teachers' code of conduct' , was resented by members of the Canterbury Education Board this morning. The clause, which comes into operation on January 1 next, is that under which the executive of the New Zealand Educational Institute declares it to be unprofessional for any teaclfer to apply for and accept a position from which, in the judgment of the executive, a member has been unjustly dismissed. On the motion of Mr. R. AVild, the board unanimously carried a motion asking the institute to reconsider the clause, with a view to its withdrawal. An ther member said he felt that they all agreed that the attitude of the teachers, as defined in the clause, was arrogant. He thought incompetent teachers had been the cause of the clause, and that they hoped by its means to secure their positions to an even greater degree. The institute was becoming stronger, and it had to be resisted on this matter.
