[BY TELEGRAPH.— ASSOCIATION.] Wellington*, Wednesday. At tho Education Board mooting to-day there was a discussion on tho Dunedin Womon's League's resolution demanding equal pay for women. The chairman said to do this they musb reduce the men's salaries, or get an increased grant from tho Government. They had appliod to the Department and boon told that no provision for teacher's salaries could bo made except from the capitation grant. Several members considered the male teachers were entitled to higlior salarios than women, bub Mr. Young warmly protosted against this. His experience was that women were just as good as men, and entitled to bo paid accordingly, but ho admitted it was a question of finance, and tho Board had no money to do ib with. Tho communication was noted is rocoivod, hub no resolution was passed. Tho expenditure of tho Board ilnriiis? the year was £49,324, of which £31.996 went in teachers' salarios, and iljo'-'i! in buildings.
