UNSUITED FOR POSITIONS.
AUCKLAND, Aug. 15.
“There are teachers.in the service, some of them married men with families, who should never have been teachers,” said Air E. C. Banks at the Auckland Education Hoard meeting to-day. They should have been weeded out long ago,” he continued. “They are misfits, and tho inspectors have not the heart to say they have go. Their own careers are a failure and they are spoiling the chances of hundreds of children.” A memorandum from the Education Department suggested that the board should remind head teachers of the importance of furnishing full reports on probationers, and that the principal of the Training College should be asked to report promptly when a young student showed’unfitness for the profession. The chairman (Air A. Burns) said that some teachers had unfortunately been kept on too long, and those in charge had not the heart to dismiss men who had wives and families dependent upon them.
