WORK FOR RELIEVING TEACHERS RESTRICTED.
ECONOMIES NECESSARY, STATES HON H. ATMORE. Per Press Association. WELLINGTON, July 22. Replying in the House this afternoon to Mr V. Ward (United, Invercargill), the Hon H. Atmore, Minister of Education, said that, in view of the financial stringency, it was necessary to restrict to some extent the employment of relieving teachers, and until the financial position improved it would not be possible to employ them as freely as in the past. It was proposed to reduce somewhat the number of probationers to be appointed next year on account of the number of unemployed teachers, but the effect would not be evident till 1936. The course of training occupied four years. The average number of teachers who retired from the service annually was known, and each year the Department had estimated as accurately as possible the number of teachers it was necessary l:o train to make good staff wastage in the service five years later. There would be a shortage of teachers to fill vacancies in 1936 if the number of probationers were reduced too much in 1932, _ „ U ' '. ~ • ,
