GRADING OF TEACHERS
COMPLAINT FROM OTAGO.
(BI TELEGRAPH.—PRESS ASSOCIATION.) DUNEDIN, This Day.
Discussion occurred at tho annual meeting of the Otago Educational Institute concerning the Dominion grading scheme. Finally it was resolved: "This meeting of teachers emphatically protests against the very apparent want of uniformity in tho standard by which grading 'marks between' district and district, and especially Auckland and Otago, ha,ve been granted." It was stated that in Grades 6 and 7, head masters, ten Auekjanders: out of 26 were graded perfect, as against two of 14 in Otago. This showed, it was claimed, that the Auckland inspectors worked on a lower standard. Similar discrepancies in other grade schools, which would tell heavily when the grading scheme becomes the Dominion promotion scheme, were quoted.
