Writing with reference to Education Board appointments, “ StraightDinkum ” says: There are seven vacancies advertised by the Education Board in your columns, and no doubt there will be many applicants. Would it not save them trouble if you stated plainly that no application will be considered from teachers not already in the Board’s employ? The fact is so, and I consider it a great injustice, not only to possible applicants* but t® theso country schools. Such an a P~ pointment as that at Masterton might attract very suitable men r why should the Masterton Committee be debarre from their undoubted right to have the best man thev can get for the money? .
