COUNTRY SCHOOL TEACHER
APPEAL AGAINST DISMISSAL (Per United Press Association.) WANGANUI, May 29. The hearing of the appeal by Miss C. E. formerly teacher at the Eangiwahia'School, against her dismissal by the Wanganui Education Board was continued to-day. Appellant contended that no school could have been happier for the two years and a-half she was in charge of it, and the children made good progress. She inferred that there was petty jealousy among three people who had no children at school. She contended that the inquiry leading to her dismissal was out of all proportion to the little trouble that arises at any country school through the children carrying tales. She contended also that the appeal was not one against her dismissal from the Rangiwahia School blit her dismissals for the last 10 years. Mr W. H. Swanger, secretary of the Wanganui Education Board, was crossexamined at length by the appellant. William Adams, a member of the Education Board, said that as an old and superannuated school teacher, as a member of other educational bodies in New Zealand, and having a total of 57 years’ service in the cause of education he could not remember a dirtier educational wash than the present case. The hearing will be continued to-mor-row.
