§ Major PRESCOTTasked the President of the Board of Education when it is proposed to review the salaries paid to the staffs of those training colleges which receive grants from the Board of Education; whether he is aware that the teachers in training colleges were led to believe that the Board of Education would take measures to place them on a relatively higher scale as a corollary to the Burnham scale for secondary teachers; that, owing to the present unequal treatment as between training colleges and schools, it is becoming very difficult to secure adequately qualified teachers to fill vacant posts in training colleges and if he is prepared to take action in the matter?
§ Mr. FISHERIt is impossible to deal with the question of salaries in training colleges apart from the question of their finance, and I hope to be in a position very shortly to make a statement on that subject.
