Dear Mr Editor - .
(ontinuing/my statements of the
24th inst, would say that before con-
solidation, the preliminary qualifica-
tions of teachers in different sections
of the town varied greatly in some
districts, new teachers in the guides
were required to be normal graduates
In one district, at primary teacher was
hardly a grammar school graduate.
111 another district, graduation from
1 State Normal school seemed to dis-
qualify. Now, the condition of eligi-
bility for teaching positions are uni-
t form. Kindergarten teachers enter-
ing the service for the first time must
-¢ be graduates of an approved kinder
garten training school; grade teach
ers must be Normal graduates; teach-

and teachers of the junior high col'

district committees and a central
board of school .\‘isitor‘.~l, there did not
seem to be a central directing agency,
for the simple lesson that the Board
of School Visitors had no power ex

and adopt text books. Money for the
current expenses of the schools (for
junttors, textbooks and the like) was
raised by general taxation, yet the
benefits to be derived from that moll-
