The Board were also of opinion that advantage should be taken of tbe option allowed ; under the scale, and therefore proposed Ito remove the third standard from the AlI lerton school to the borough, thus doing I away with the neoes-sity for a pupil teacher thaw, and leaving Miss Burr in charge at a salary of £150 per annum, instead of reducing her to £IGS. It was decided to protest against the decision, and to urge the Board to allow a continuance of the existing conditions.
