TEACHER'S APPEAL.
HIS REINSTATEMENT ORDERED. (Per Press Association.) NEW PLYMOUTH, Last night. A sitting of the Teachers' Appeal Court was held to-day, to hear an appeal by Herbert Victor Searle against his dismissal by the New Plymouth High School Board, on the grounds that he created disaffection amongst the teaching staff of the school. Appellant had held the position of third assistant master before going to the war and the Board had promised to keep his position open for him. Searle obtained his B.A. degree at Cambridge University last year, and returned to New Zealand in March last, when he was offered a position as fourth assistant, the Board having meanwhile appointed a former junior to Searle as third assistant. The Court upheld the appeal, holding that the Board was not justified in summarily dismissing appellant, and ordered that he be reinstated in the position from which he was dismissed', with salary as from the date of his dismissal. Mr F. H. Campbell, of the Secondary Schools Association, appeared for Searle.
