NO LEAVE ON PAY.
Department Refusal Due to Cabinet. Per Press Association. AUCKLAND, April 11. The Auckland Education Board today again criticised the Education Department for refusing to allow Mr D. M. Rae, principal of the Training College, leave on full salary while absent abroad under a Carnegie scholarship offer. Mr Rae in a letter said he had now applied for eight months’ leave on half salary. The chairman (Mr Wills) said he had discussed Mr Rae’s original request with the Director of Education, but could do nothing, as Cabinet had decided that no highly paid officer should be given leave of absence on salary. He thought it deplorable that a man of Mr Rae’s qualifications, who had done so much for education, should not be able to take advantage of a scholarship offer. To ask him to pay his own expenses was asking too much. The board decided to support Mr Rae’s present application.
