TEACHERS’ POSITION.
N.Z.E.I. CLAUSE OPPOSED
Per Press Association. CHRISTCHURCH, Sept. 21. Described as an insult, a clause in the teachers’ cods of conduct was resented by members of the Canterbury Education Board this morning. The clause, which comes'into operation on January 1 next, is that under which the executive of the New Zealand Educational Institute declares it to be unprofessional for any teacher to apply for and. accept a position from which, in the judgment of the executive, a member has been unjustly dismissed. On the motion of Mr R. Wild, the board unanimously carried a motion asking the institute .to reconsider the clause with a view to its withdrawal.
Another member said he felt they all agreed that the attitude of the teachers was arrogant, as defined in the clause. He thought incompetent teachers had been the cause of the clause, by which they hoped to secure their positions to an even greater degree. The institute was becoming stronger and had to he resisted on the question referred to.
