Tomlinson was in the chair, thirty delegates wore present. The value of tho Education _ Pill of 1924, giving tho power of disciplining members, was appreciated in the report, which, after dealing with salaries, regretted that no further progress had been made in tho matter ol superannuation. There had been only one disagreement during the year between teachers and their hoards. Gratification was expressed that the department had agreed, under tho abnormal conditions, to safeguard the interests of all teachers where a reduction in grade was threatened owing to a fall in the numbers in the school. Tho report referred to the matriculation examinations as unsatisfactory. It said that there was unevenness in the nature of the papers and discrepancies in the marks allotted.
