Teaching Study Abroad
Sir, —There was a time when our Government was willing and even eager to shout any teachers overseas trips of unlimited duration caring not whether they were university, secondary or primary personnel, but that was in war time when a lot of people were in quite a fret about keeping their exalted skins from getting holes blown in them. As soon as peace broke out the old order was speedily restored; university fellows became great again, deserving of high salaries and mind-broadening overseas jaunts while secondary and primary teachers, weakened by the war-time deaths of many of the finest and boldest of them, and no longer required for the defence of the realm, slipped even further back than their pre-war level in public esteem and in eligibility for
overseas trips. But just why can we not now afford to send abroad one teacher of the deaf?—Yours, etc., J. F. WILLIAMS. January 6, 1965.
