EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTE
COMMENT ON AUCKLAND ACTION.
By TeloizriiDh—Press Ajßoclatlon., Invercargill, July 5. At a meeting of the Southland branch of the Educational Institute, a motion was passed expressing regret that- the Auckland branch, in opposition to tho institute's long-estnb-. lishcd policy of an undivided servico enjoying under the uniform Dominion system equal rights and opportunities, lint no sectional privileges, should proceed to form a separate association, basing its step on the unworthy plea that teachers in one district have peculiar needs not felt by teachers in other districts. The institute had always represented the national spirit in education as opposed to mere parochialism, and its efforts to remove district barriers to promotion by means of a grading echomo formed a consistent part of its programme. Tlie forming of a separate association was a virtual assertion of an opposite, policy, and wns particularly unfortunate at the present stage whon the institute's increased influence held such gcod promise in the immediate future for schools and teachers alike.
