EDUCATION QUESTIONS.
DEPUTATION TO AIINISTER.
Per Press Association
WELLINGTON, Aug. 21
Four questions of importance to teachers, viz., salaries, superannuation, smaller classes and regulations, were brought before the Alinister of Education by a deputation from the executive of the Educational Institute. Hon. R. A. Wright said that one factor seemed clear—that any new basis of salary would increase the cost of education. However, it seemed to him that the present system had served its purpose, and was now practically obsolete. Any assistance the institute could give in drawing up a new scheme would be welcomed. The Alinister thought that the Government would have to strengthen the superannuation fund. It was his aim to bring all classes down to 40. He had been striving as far as possible to give classes separate rooms. It should bo their aim to make the primary school system as perfect as possible.
