Rural Education Proposals Questioned by Ashburton Teachers
At an Ashburton Teachers' Institute meeting led by Mr J McLeod the debate focused on Rev J G Fraser of Otago advocating moving school classification from teachers to Board inspectors and having resident inspectors acting as headmasters. Debaters argued Fraser is out of date while praising current teacher classification and noting rising costs chiefly from technical and university education. They endorsed maintaining the current flexible system during its experimental phase.
