§ Mr. C. WHITEasked the President of the Board of Education whether he is aware that distress exists amongst supplementary teachers caused by the low salaries paid and the high cost of living; that many of them have devoted their whole life to teaching and have done splendid service; and whether he can take any steps to see that their salaries are increased on somewhat similar lines to those of teachers who come under the Burnham scale?
§ Mr. FISHERThe Board have only recently obtained from the local education authorities returns as to the present salaries of these teachers. Before I make any statement on the subject, it is desirable that these returns should be tabulated and their results considered.
