A TEACHER REINSTATED.
The Teachers' Court of Appeal sat.at Wanganui on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday last hearing the appeal of R. P. Clarkson, late head teacher of the Normaiiby School, against the action of the Wanganui Education Board in dismissing him. The Board's contention was that the inspector's reports on the Normanby School examination were not favorable. Clarkson held that he had not been guilty of neglect, and that faults which might have been found in his work had been due to circumstances over which he had no control. In extenuation of this Clarkson stated that the children attending the school were rendered unfit for active mental work by the fact that thev had to milk a numlier of cows before coming to school, and that the dairying industrv was inimical to good results being obtained bv any teacher. The Court upheld tho appeal, and ordered the reinstatement of Clarkson.
