Teaching Appointments
Sir, —Would the senior inspector of primary schools, Mr .T. F. Johnston, explain why the position of head teacher in a certain MidCanterbury school, recently upgra’ded to three-teacher status, was not fully advertised? This school has a new three-bedroom brick house (built 1956) as well as a very lucrative bus run which go with the position, yet neither of these was mentioned when the position was advertised in a recent Gazette. Surely it is unfair to all those teachers seeking positions to have such facts withheld. —Yours, etc., CURIOUS. November 29. 1957. IMr J. F. Johnson said -that vacancies are advertised by the Education Board, not by the senior inspector of schools, Mr S. J. Irwin, chairman of the Canterbury Education Board, said that the usual practice when positions are advertised ifc for those teachers who are interested to get such information as they require from the Education Board or the local branch of the New Zealand Educational Institute, which this correspondent had apparently done.l
