Major JOHN EDWARDSasked the President of the Board of Education whether he has received representations from teachers relating to the effect of the provisions of the School Teachers' (Superannuation) Act in regard to teachers' superannuation allowances and gratuities, 1118W owing to the varying scales of salaries in similar districts being under different authorities; and whether he proposes to take any steps to remedy this alleged grievance?
§ Mr. FISHERTeachers have from time to time written to the Board on the subject of salary scales adopted by or under consideration by local education authorities, and in such letters the connection between salary and pension is occasionally referred to. The Board are watching with close attention the effect of the new Grants and Regulations upon the scales which authorities are fixing, but I do not think that at present any further action by the Board is required in relation to the general body of authorities.
