ABOLITION OF THE TRAINING COLLEGE.

DISCUSSION AT THE BOARD OF

EDUCATION.

At the meeting of the Board of Education yesterday afternoon the following discussion took place with regard to the stoppage by the Government of the grant for the train ing of teachers. After reading tho corres pondence, and the explanatory paper pro pared by Mr Rice, and published in yesterday's issue, tho (secretary said that the Board were pledged to retain the Principal of the Training College, Mr Gulliver, and some of the masters until the 31st of July next. One year's engagement was guaranteed to Mr Gulliver. Mr Lennox said that evidently Mi' Gulliver was engaged for one year, and could be dispensed with at the end of that period, but if they allowed any further time then they would be compelled to give six month's notice.

Mi- Eice said that Mr Gulliver's term would end on the Ist of February.

Mr Upton said with regard to the students, the Board were really the agent of the Government. They should give notice to Mr Gulliver and then try what they could do with the Government.

Mr Luke said he was sorry for the country that the Training College had to be closed, but if supplies were stopped by the Govern ment they could not help themselves. It was resolved with regret that Mr Gul liver and the vice-principal be notified that their services will havo to be dispensed with in consequence of the stoppage of the grant. The Secretary said that there were several students with whom arrangements had been made.

Mr Lennox thought that these students might be distributed amongst the other schools.

The Secretary said that there were only six students under contract. The question of dealing with the students was referred to the Training College and Visiting Committee. The Chairman thought thafc the Board should protest against the abolition of the Training College. He wou'd move: " This Board considers that the :: maintenance of a Training College for the Auckland district is absolutely required in order to produce an adequate supply of skilled teachers for the many country schools which would otherwise be inefficiently taught, and the Board urges the Government to reconsidor their decision in this matter." Mr Lennox said ho would like to support such a resolution, but the Government were bound to retrench, and the Board ought not to hamper the movements of the Govern ment. He valued the Training College, but afc the same time he thought that perhaps the Government had applied the retrenchment in the best direction. Mr Carr supported Mr Lennox's view of the question. Mr Upton said he could not support Mr Luke's motion, although he valued the training of teachers. He had frequently expressed the opinion that the Training College was too expensive, bub still it was necessary that some system for training teachers should be adopted. He would move that the consideration of the matter should be adjourned for one week. Mr Upton said that the Board had squandered money in paying people to learn their trade, and it was no wonder that at last the Government should have put a stop °uitimately the matter was deferred for one week. , . .. . Applications were received from 20 per sons wishing to enter the Training College. Under the circumstances consideration ot these was also deferred.
