TEACHER’S APPEAL.
SUSPENSION CANCELLED. CHRISTCHURCH, April 4. The suspension of two weeks imposed on Miss Ethel May Livingstone by the Canterbury Education Board has been cancelled by the Teachers Couit of Appeal. In giving it decision the Court, which consisted of Messrs H. A. Young, S.M. (president), H. _ F. Penlington (nominated by the North Canterbury branch of the New Zealand Educational Institute), and William Brock (nominated by the Canterbury Education Board), stated that, in its opinion, Miss Livingstone, a teacher at the Phillipstown School, should not have been suspended by the board, and that the Sentence of suspension was too severe from the point of view of probable loss of salary. It was alleged that Miss Livingstone refused to co-operate with the headmaster of the Phillipstown School in training students, and on this charge the decision stated that the Court found that Miss Livinstone had refused in one respect only to co-operate. It had not been proved, that, generally she had shown herself not amenable to the discipline required of members of the board’s teaching staff.
