“TREATED LIKE CHILDREN”
EDUCATION BOARD’S COMPLAINT “Realising they can’t get us knocked out by Act of Parliament they are asking us to commit suicide!” Loss of power was a topic of the Auckland Education Board again this morning, and the above was the comment of the chairman, Mr. A. Burns, on the latest move of the department. THE Minister of Education wrote asking for the board’s views on the suggestion that the control of teachers’ training colleges should be transferred from the boards to the department. Canterbury and Otago boards wrote protesting against the proposal and Wellington asked that “joint representation” shQuld be made to the department. Mrs., Nellie Ferner suggested that the boards should try to get back some of the powers they had already lost. “They treat us more like children than men and women,” said the chairman. Mr. Burns was empowered to protest against the suggestion and it was decided to ask the Minister to call a conference of Education Boards. The Rotorua School Committee forwarded a resolution which protested against a suggestion that education boards should be a.bolished, and asking that their powers should be increased.
