SERIOUS SHORTAGE OF TEACHERS
STUDENTS FOR RELIEVING WORK
DIFFICULTY IN KEEPING GCHOOLS OPEN
"For the first time we have had to ask students from the training colleges to do relieving work." said the secretary nf the Wanganui Education Board (Mr G. N. Boulton) at the board's meeting recently, referring to the grave shortage of teachers.
"Despite all the difficulties we had during the war we have never been so short of teachers as we are today," Mr Boulton said. Three students from Ardmore Training College had finished serving a relieving capacity, and he had to ask the Canterbury Training College for six students from the beginning of next month to fill staff vacancies. "I have been through the files," Mr Boulton continued, "and have communicated with eveyone who has been a teacher and those who have resigned during the past three years to marry. We do not like to use students in our own schools, hut it is the only way we can keep these schools open."
