§ MR. SLOANI beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland whether trained teachers will be awarded increments in the case of schools where the general proficiency of the pupils at the annual inspection is 587 described by the inspector as fair, but which suffer from irregular attendance.
§ MR. WYNDHAMThe course adopted by the Commissioners in this respect is defined by Rule 200 (b) of the Code. Awards of good service salary will also be contingent on the actual incomes of individual teachers, the average attendance at their schools, and other considerations. Each case will be judged on its merits, subject to the general rules governing all cases.
