'temporary appointments of teachers xnauo in lho Auoiuuiiu district since tnu outureuK or tno war was again diseusaeu oy tlie Jhaucauon Jjuaru. liit-se appointments wero made to till the piaces or teacners who nave gone to the iroiit. in some oases only were the applications invited by advertisement. Vv nen the first; of the appointments wero niaUe it was expected that the Avar would not! bo of long duration. The fact, however, that the end of hostilities is nob yet in sight, coupled with the lengtli now reached by tho list of appointments, has produced a representation from the Teachers' Institute to the effect that the manner in which some of the appointments have been made has placed tho general body of the teachers at a disadvantage. It was stated that a list of temporary appointments had been handed by the institute to the board. Members were divided in their views a.s to tho adrfeableness of opening all the vacancies to competition by advertisement, but all were agreed that tho board must reinstate all soldier teachers who are able to fill their former positions on returning from the war. A proposal to appoint) a committee to ronort upon the question did not meet with the support of a majority of the members, and it was decided to publicly invite applications for the temporary filling of all the positions in question.
