TRAINING OF TEACHERS
MORE STUDENTS INVITED. CRITICISM IN DUNEDIN. DUNEDIN. October 21. At .a meeting of the Dunedin Education Board the chairman, Mr James Wallace, said that at the beginning of next year there would be between 1900 and 2000 teachers without permanent work. The filling of probationary assistant positions, and general relieving work, would employ only between 900 and 1000 daily. These facts must be known to the Department, and yet in this month's “Educational Gazette" it was inviting applications from suitable applicants from all over New Zealand to become Division C students. The Department offered to pay travelling expenses from Christchurch to Auckland and one return term-holiday fare in addition. Perhaps sound reasons could be advanced for the Department's action, he said, but on the facts available it looked like extravagance to spend money on training teachers next year whose services would not be required for at least throe years. Had the Government adopted the recommendation of the House of Representatives that the training of teachers be continued under the four University Colleges it would have saved the country some £IO,OOO during the years 1933 and 1934
