“NOT HOSTILE”

TEACHERS’ ATTITUDE TO BOARD COLLECTION OF SUBSCRIPTIONS Brief mention was made by the chairman (Mr. A. C. Blake) at last night’s meeting of the AVellington Branch of the New Zealand Educational Institute to the agitation on the part of local teachers to use tho Education Board as a means for collecting their subscriptions to the institute. Mr. Blako reported that the Management Committee had obtained a legal opinion to tho effect that the board could not refuse to make tho necessary deductions from teachers salaries, if the latter authorised the deductions to be made. The committee had accordingly sent out tho necessary authorisation form to members of the branch for their signature and for forwarding on to the board. A point made by Mr. Blake was that what tho committee was doing was not being done out of a feeling of hostility to the board. They ware acting upon the legal opinion given by one of the members of the board, who was a lawyer. This gentleman had distinctly stated that there was no need for teachers to go to the board, as tho matter was in their own hands. The committee had accordingly taken the matter into their own hands. Mr. Blake went on to state that one of Hie chief objections mode to their request was that it would throw extra work upon tho officials of the board. Tn this connection it was worthy of note that two or three years ago headmasters had, at the request of the board, lightened the burden of its officials by consenting to make out teachers’ salary cheques at the end of each month. This work had been cheerfully” undertaken, as headmasters were only too pleased to do anything in their power to assist the board. This sort of thing, he continued, hit both ways. Personally he viewed the whole matter o’ n storm in a teapot. A tremendous amount of fuss had been made about a very small matter.
