IN TRAINING
PAYMENT OF TEACHERS EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTE’S VIEWS. [Per Press Association.] WELLINGTON, May 17. The Now Zealand Educational Institute to-day made known its official ’ views on the proposed change in the method of paying young teachers during their training period. “There is the gravest reason to , fear,” said the statement, “that if the * new proposals are carried into effect ! the good quality of intellect and character necessary will not be maintained.” They fear that only those will enter the profession who are able to pay for their own training, thus introducing an undesirable class distinction. Youths, who this year are probationers, will next year be students in the training colleges, either without pay or subject to a long period of liability, which they have no. assurance of being able to meet. The consequence is they are already considering the advisability of withdrawing fr'om the service.
