JUNIOR TEACHERS.
OVER-SUPPLY IN AUCKLAND. [THE PRESS Special Service.] AUCKLAND, January 18. The over-supply of young teachers from the Auckland Training College again exercised the minds of Education Board members at to-day's meeting, when it was reported that while only 128 probationary or substitute assistants were required, 220 students had just come out from the training college. The assistant secretary said that employment would bo found for about 100 of these probationers as vacancies occurred. He added that there were about 120 training college students who came out a year ago and had not yet secured permanent appointments. The chairman (Mr A. Burns): A number of these were offered positions but did not accept them. Mr T. U. Wells: The position is that there are over 200 out of permanent positions. Keplying to Mr J. Patterson, the chairman said that another 190 students would be going into the college this year. Mr H. S. W. King: The best thing is to close down the college for a year. Mr E. C. Banks: Or reduce the number entering the college.
The chairman said the number was regulated by the Department. They should estimate the probable number of ■vacancies and regulate the number of students accordingly. On the advice of the chairman it was resolved to authorise appointments recommended by the principal of the training college and to defer further action until the next meeting of the Board.
