* A -warning note as to the dangers of transferring teachers was sounded at the meeting of the Brooklyn (Wellington) Home and School Association. Mr N. A. Ingram, secretary of the Wellington School Committees' Association, said that he knew of one school where there had been thirty-six changes in three years and a half. Mr R. McKeen, M.P., spoke of a school where one class had had seven teachers since the beginning of the season. The impossibility' of attending to pupils' individualities in such circumstances was stressed, and it was also stated that there was a possibility, if the Mental Defectives Bill became law, of children suffering in their mental classing because teachers were not long enough with them to understand them.
