SCHOOL EQUIPMENT.
CONSIDERATION FOR TEACHERS.
"I think it is an absolute disgrace mat many young women teachers in country schools have no privacy whatever in their schools, even if they can obtain reasonable accommodation,' said Mr. C. R. Munrv at the Educational Institute conference in Wellington. "Perhaps a lady teacher has to ride three or four miles in the wet, and when she reaches her school there is no place for her to change her skirt and stockings but behind the door or the stove. Every school, no matter how small, should liave a special room for the use of the teacher, and a room, moreover, with a fireplace in it.*' A Canterbury delegate remarked that in more than one city school still in use there was not even a cupboard large enough for the teacher to change her stockings.
