CAPITATION ALLOWANCES
Al IN IST ER REPLIES TO SC HOOLS. By Telegrapb.—Press Association. Wellington, June 10. “Financial stringency? was the reason given by the Minister of Education, the Hon. H. Atmore, for the inability to increase the capitation allowances to school committees, in a letter to the Wellington association. Neverthless. the recipients are not satisfied, and decided to send a deputation to the Government. The chairman suggested an increase in the amusement tax, and another that they should keep on hammering at the authorities. The association also had a lively debate on the vexed question of married women teachers. One woman member called it a “crying shame” to see married women with husbands in good positions keeping teachers out a job. Another member said he knew of a woman who was teaching and whose husband had £5OOO a year, but he thought it must be because of her love for children. Eventually a motion was carried that when married women resigned single teachers should be appointed.
