THE TEACHERS' SUPERANNUATION FUND.
THE PREMIER OX INCREASED SALARIES. WELLINGTON, This Day. Replying to a deputation from the Educational Institute urging that the Teachers' Superannuation .Fund Bill be passed, the Premier said lie doubted whether 25 per cent of the teachers in the colony were in a position to provide the contributions necessary to form the nucleus of such a fund. Unless the scheme was started financially sound it meant trouble later on. He was having the bill carefully gone into by actuaries, and if they could not igive the scheme a good start >t would be better not to have it at all. Xo one could gainsay the necessity for it. There vas a way of giving it a start which would r!o away with the necessity of providing a lump sdm, and that was giving better salaries, which would make teachers content.. To his mind that was the direction they should go. The question of the increase of salaries was one of the most important with regard to our educational system, and he would •do his best in the matter.
