POWERS OF SCHOOL COMMITTEES.

TO THE EDITOR. • Sir— ln the matter of appointment of teachers, I think that, as it is one of vital importance to cvrry member ot the profession, their opinion should be asked for through the medium of tho Educational Institutes. We shall be either gainers or losers by any change in the modo of appointment, and in my mind thero is no doubt which it would be. If more power should bo given to School Committees, then gone is all hope of promotion ; then tho man who can cringe best, who can wait on the members of a committee hat in hand, and flatter their scn&o of power, is tho man who will succeed. If the governing "body has not full power to make appointments, there can be no promotion, no justice; and this at tho very time when efforts arc being made to render the service more attractive to young men. No greater blow could bo struck, no better means devised to keep good men out of the profession, than the granting of any power of appointment to School Committees, — I am, otc, COUNTRY TEACHER. 6th Soptomber, lUOo.
