Of the 23 applicants for the position of first assistant at the Nelson Girls’ College, Miss Pearce, M.A., has received the appointment. A letter from the rector of the Norma School in regard to the -classification of teachers has been referred to a committee of the Otago Education Board. The writer points out that of the Otago teachers, 79 hold a C or a higher certificate, and 343 hold a D or a lower certificate. It is clear, he says, that the privilege of reaching the higher certificates has in the pa t been confined to those teachers who have been fortunate enough to secure positions in the city or suburban schools. Many of the teachers in the country schools are for this reason practically debarred from any chance of promotion to a higher class. The rector thinks that if all appointments to junior positions in the city and suburbans schools were made subject to the condition that the holders of these appointments could be called upon to change places for a certain time with teachers in country schools, it would to some extent, at least, iremove the disability under which they work at present. Of course, he refers only to young teachers, of whom a fair number might be expected to prooeed'to the higher examinations if some regulation.of this kind were brought into operation. There are about 30 or 40, junior teachers in Dunedin and suburbs. The Board might perhaps insist on these attending university classes, and, on keeping two years’ terms, obtain the first section of the B.A. degree and a C certifi jate. After obtaining this certificate a teacher might fairly rest awhile and change places with a fellow-teacher in the country, to enable the latter to improve his professional status. The rector has no donbt that such a proposal would work out satisfactorily. jue also eu| erests to'the Board the advisableness of grantinga small bursary, say £lo,sufficient to pay the University fees, to all students in Training College who keep terms in their second year. The schedule of work for 1898 for pnpil teachers in the Wellington distriot is as follows : —Junior (first and second year) pnpil teachers —English, including reading, recitation, writing, spelling, composition, and analysis ; geography; science, inolading sound, light, heat and magnetism; sohool management, Garlick’s book, chapters 2,4, 5,6, 8 (to page 127), 9 and 10; drawing and singing. Senior (third and fourth year)— English, as for juniors, with derivation of words added; geography, science, school management, drawing, and singing as for juniors, and one of the optional subjects for D (generally Euclid, Latin, French or algebra). Among the successful candidates at the recent matriculation elimination were Misses Clare Zohrab and Ethel Casey, aged 14, of St. Francis Xavier s Academy, also an expupil of the same institution, Miss Winifred Stevens, who had twice before successfully passed the examination in her school days. The Misses Neby and Jessie Seaton, pupils at the Academy, have just received certificates of comp tency as the result of an examination iu Pi tin m’s shorthand.
