DOWN TO BUSINESS
EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTE CONFERENCE. Eighty-one representatives answered the roll-call yesterday morning, when the annual conference of the New Zealand Educational Institute, which was opened on Monday night, settled down to business.
Consideration of remits dealing with over-large classes and with legislation occupied the attention of delegates at the morning session. It was decided to ask the Minister to reduce the size of classes. Protest was entered against the increasing practice of the Education Department in framing new regulations by Order-in-Council. It was also decided that the institute should persevere in its efforts to obtain the right of appeal against non-appoint-ment and that all new regulations affecting the teaching profession be published in the “Education Gazette” at least one full month before they are put into operation.
The desirability or otherwise of urging the setting up of a court to consider regulations which seemed likely to result in injustice was debated at the afternoon session. A report of the discussion appears elsewhere in this issue. The conference adjourned at 5.30 p.m. until 9.30 a.m. this morning.
