There is a scarcity of teachers for the small counti-y schools of South Canterbury, especially for thos<> which have salaries ranging from £9O to £IOO. \ member of tbe Kdueation Board told a "Herald'' reporter that the reasons for this were quite clear. There were ab-'olutcly no attractions for 3-oiuig peopl'e to go iuto the backblocks and teach.
