fiom the Local Government Board dealuig with the proposed acquisition as the site for a new elementarv school, and new road, of parts of a plot of land acquired by -the Council for the purpose of a depot. Ihe letter said it would be necessary for the Town Council first to obtain the approval of t' e Hoard of Education to the proposed


.site. The Clerk said he had written to the


Board of Education but had not received a replv. He would, however, write agahi.


A circular from the Boa.d of Education


wa» submitted, authorising local authorittes to find employment for children leavmg


school. The Clerk said the circular did not


apply to Clitheroe. The Chairman said that matter was con

.SALARlI'iS. The minutes of managers of the -Vaiiona I s / '


scliool were presented, and they dealt with the failure to secure an untratned cerlili- cated teacher to take the place of one who leaves the mixed department of the scliool tills week-end. 'liie minutes pointed out that they advertised extensively, otferhig a salary of ;£60 per annum, risuig lo ;£dU. There were Li replies to the advertisement, only two of wliich were from utitraiiied teachers. Of these, one was married, and the other asked a minuiiuni salary of The managers then opened negotiations with a trained certificated teacher residing ui Liverpool. She came to Clitheroe for an interview with the managers who otfered her the post at a salary hi accordance with the local scale. She declined to accept it, however, and in answer to an inquiry as to whether, in the event ot the .-luthority being willing to pay her


as a trained


teacher, .she wouhl take the jxist. she .slated that .she would conic lo Clitheroe pendin her appointment to a post in l.-lverpool .AskeiJ if she would undeilake to remain at Ciitheroc for twelve months, the apiilicant declined. Tlie chairman of the managers then wrote to another trained te.acher re- siilhig at Cockerniouth. He fully explained the circumstances of the case, and asked if she would accept the post .it ;^60. Up to the present, no answer hail been receivet. to that coiiiniiinication. .-Xs the managers had not been able to olitain any a])prn:ant at the scale fixed by the kxa! antliDrity thev were driven to the conclusion that, so long as the local scaje remains so much below the scale p.aid by adjoining nuthoritie there is no inducement for teachers to rake .service at Clitheroe. 'I'he managers, there­ fore, requested the committee to adiWnisc far a trained certificated teacher to till the vactnicy .so that they would be able to carry on the work of the school in an


(. } ■


eflicient manner. The Clerk itated tliar if the manage's


were authorised to obraui a trained teach they would probably be able to do so. 'hie Vicar: We hope so. Councillor Hardacre thought it was a


M'


verv inopportune time of the year to ad verti.se for any grade of teacher, as di‘- holidays were not ^>ver when the advertise ment appeared. Other managers had been placed in a similar -position but. when they had advertised a second time, they had received a sheaf of applications. If the National school managers adverrise.l again, he was convinced that they would have pleiitv of applications, as ic.achers were now leaving the college. He contended that an un'raitied certificated teacher was


able to teach a class quite trained teacher.


The Vicar stared that with regard to the argument ;is to the time l>eing mopportmm


. . m i'iS'.'!


he held exactly tlie opposite view holidavs was a time when all teachers came out of'ihcir engagemeiHs and were looking for fresh ones. Had they advertised in October or November, or any other tim in the .school year, they might argue that it w-as inopportune. The training co ege had just outpoured a number of teachers who had completed their course and were


looking for employment. Coundllor Hardacre suggested that


teachens would not apply for dtuations until thev had completed iheir holidays. ^ The Vicar ridiculed t 'e suggestion. Mr Apperley said that if Ee, was *


Macher who was looking for a s^ataon, he would apply to that authonty offering the best salary. When all such positaon.s were


filled, there would be more teachers avail­ able.


The Chairman pointed out that me ,


teachers leaving the colleges did not come within the scope of the advertisement, as thev were only authorised to advertise lot


an untrained teacher. Alderman Roberts said there were as


many trained teachers at the Naiioiiai chool as any other school hi ihe town. The Vicar: 1 deprecate these miserabie


comparisons of one school with aiiotltei. . am not entering into competition lo try and secure one more trained teacher than any of the oclier scliools. What we are here lor, as trustees of the public, is to to' and se­ cure for the children of the working people ol the town the vieiy best education poss­ ible, so as to fit them for the struggle of life.


I think, therefore, this contmual jealousy between the schools is exceedingly


poor and petty. Alderman Roberts said the other schools


must be efficient because they earned as much in grants. If they would look at the list of grants, they would find that the


National sdiool tvas not at the top. The Vicar: Does Alderman Roberts


.sugge.si that our mixed department is not earning as much in grants ;ts an\ other


school in the town? T’ e Chairman: 'fhe sole question we


have to decide is whether the managers of this particular school .should be instructed to advertise again for ;in uncerliticated te.acher, or. in view of rite fact that :i teach­ er Is badlv wanted, ''or a te.acher at a salary whic' is more, and. therefore, more likelv to bring desiralile appli'cation.s. Alderman '.Xfitchell: We don’t seem to


h.ave had any trouble with the other schools. Are'thct-e different circumstances in the case of the National School? How is it t' e other schools can get teachers, and the X.ational schoijl except at a higher


.salary? The Vicar: I am not going i” touch on


other schorls at :ill. ;uid 1 am not going to ormpate one schinrl with tinothet. We have been at infinite pains to prociife tlie best teachers, ami during the last two or three vears, 1 venture to think we have introduced a verv go«.rd cla.ss of teacher into the Nation­ al school. The iotal scale offers .such p<ror inducemeiit.s to teachers, however, that they enme to Clitheroe merely as a stopgiip, ami rlirecth rhey get :inother po.sitioii under a ini.n-e liberal' :iuthoriiy. they leave. Thar i.s the rea.son we have so much difficulty with our teachers, .and the only w;iy to obvutie that is to alter the scale, or be l.■ontent with ,1


more stupid grade of teacher not w;uued


b\ other authoritie-s, and. who are, there­ fore, comjrelled to accept the .starving wage paid at Clitheroe. Before coming to any decision on the


above subject, it was decided to discuss a resolution upon the scale, imnjduced by the Vicar. .-V petition signed by 1.S local certificated


,a.ssi.stant teachers wa-s presented, urging rhe Comniitree to place the fijcal scale upon an equality with tho.se adopted in nei^bour- ing towns. The Vicar then introduced his re.s<altuioii ’that a .sub-commiuee be appointed to


coiisider the revi.sion of the existing scale of salaries paid to te.ichers.” Disclaiming all knowleilge of the petition until that afiemtKHi. he s.aid they would remember that he iiiiroditced the qiie.Mioii .'ome three or four months ago.

the greatest discrepancy occurred in the maximum rather that, in die mmimurn salary. Clitheroe was below all the auth­ orities quoted, except one, m the minimum, but, on studying tiie maximum, it wdl be tliat riiey were behind one authority


as much as /OO, and, hi every case, he did not think they were behhid less than /tiO. What did that mean ? It meant that they were offering absolutely no future to a teacher in CHtheroe. As a teacher gamed experience and became of greater use to tliem, they ceased paying him or her. Other authorities went on paying. He ventured to think that was a very discreditable thmg for Clidieroe. It showed that they were gros.lv underpaiing the teachers who were working, and, he thought, working well for diet!. But it was not that aspect of the question he wished to emphasise. Into the iiands of every certificated teacher whether he or she was trained or untrained, was placed a book pving the scales paid by different authorities, and warning teachers against coming to Clilheroe. 'I'hey occupied a verv lowly place in that hidex expurgator- ious. ’ He would be the List to suggest that money ivas the sole thought in the minds ol teachers, but diey nad their way to make in the world, and he thought they were Ijerfeclly right iu seeldng tlie autliority that would give them a fair liviiig wage and a fair prospect hi their profession. 'I hat being the case, he was not at all surprised that thev had a small number of applications to advertisements. In the long run it was in­ evitable that they would only be able to get such teachers as were unable to obtain situations under authorities who paid the market rate of wage. He tiioroughly ap- jireciated the desire for economy which actuated the chairman of the Finance Com niittee, but. he was of opinion that they could carry their craving for saving th (xiunds, shillings and pence to a point where economy became very’ false. He declared that, by adhering to the present scale, they were inllictiiig a l.asting injury- on the town, an injury which, when they liad gone ftom office, would not be easily repaired. He did not wish to be unjust, blit he coil'd not help thinking that that autltority lixtked upon education in ClitSe- roe a.s a di.sagtecable incubus placed upon them in lie scamped through iritli the very least oiiilay of money. The Mayor; Is that in order?


ance. The Vicar tlenied this Councillor 'Thornber declared that tM


teachers at Burnley and Blackburn taught twice as many scholars as the leacliers m


Clitheroe.


The Vicar: Not in all tlie schools. Mr. Apperley did not agree with the


, . i •


Vicar’s statement that uncertificated teach­ ers in the town had neglected to ^ u r e certificates ihrougn laziness. He could say from very long experience that Lliere were many other reasons. He agreed, however, that they should pay certificated teachers much better than they did, but thought the Town Council was doing its best for educa­ tion in the town. His experience went to show tliat, in many cases, an uiuramed teacher was better than one wno had been


trained. The resolution was carried. Alderman Roberts proposed that the sub-


comntittee also be empowered to inqitire into the cost of education per ^holar, in Clitheroe, as compared with neighbouring


towns. The Vicar seconded, and it was earned.


The Chairman, Alderman Roberts,


Councillor Thornber and the Vicar were appointed the sub-committee. With respect to the National school va­


cancy, the Vicar moved that the managers be allowed to advertise for a trained cer­ tificated teacher, at a commencing salary of /7 0 . He said the school must go on, and unless a teacher was engaged soon, they would lose ill grants more than the differ­ ence between the salary of a trained and an untrained teacher. The Chairman seconded. Mr. Apperley was afraid that, if the motion was carried, a similar demand would


be made by the other schools. The Chairman stated that if he was


manager of the school, he would recommend his colleagues to make an appomtment, and then refer the whole matter to the Board of Education. .•Vlderman Roberts proposed an amend


ment that the managers again adverti^ lor an untrained teacher, a temporary assastant to be procured in the meantime. This was seconded by Mr. Apperley. A .suggestion by the 'Vicar that they imght


not be able to obtain temporary assistance was pooh-poohed, and the .amendment


carried.

he thought, e.siablished that, lie asked


for t' e appoiiitmem of a small sub-com­ mittee to decide, whether or not, that was a fact, and if so, what steps should be taken. He was ratiter suiqrrised, at the close of the dLscitisioii, to leant that, in the o])iuion of two or three of the memlrers, he had in no way made out a case. On enquiring as to why he had nor made out ills case, he was told that lie had only produced a Ixxtk containing die sa.larms paid by a large number of authorities. One ol the members .said he had been told by the Town Clerk that l’ e local salaries were well up to diose paid by neighbouring auth­ orities. Having 'earned by e.xperience, liierel'ore, he had adopted a d'ffereni me­ thod of procedure, having tvritten to the Lancashire County Council, Accrington, Burnley, the West Ridmg, and Blackburn. He had picked out those as being die authorities which mast nearly infringed on Clitheroe. 'i'hey were, by no means, autii- orities whiih paid the highest salaries. He had received replies from all except the West Riding. All ;iis replies agreed with the statements furnished by rhe discredited book he had mentioned. The Vicar tlien went on to compare tlic


sa'tiries. In Clitheroe, he said, a trained certificated teacher comraeticed at and rose in annual increments of ^£7 10s. to ,;£lilO. In Accrington there were two grades, one beginning at ;£90, increasing to ;^1.35, and the other at j£S5, increasing to ;£130, according to the examination quali­ fications a teacher jxissesscd. In addition to that, if the teachers passed certain ex­ aminations, they were entitled to hirfher bonuses rang'ing from ;£10 to ;^ 0 a year. In Burnley they started art to ;^110; West Riding,

niggardly settle of wages y-t-m :ire inflicting a lasting iniiiry on the .town. Proceeding, ho s.aid lie \v:ts glad to .see that the Trades and l.alxiur Gouncil was at last awakening to the importance of education. To him, it had alw.ays seemed a grievous thing that they had no representative of the iabour world on that committee, and, while he disagreed with the Trades’ Council object­ ion to the new school site, he welcometl the fact that they realised the vast importance of education to the children of the working people. .\s a trustee of the public, he was boiiiid to :see, to the utmost of his power, that so far as ilie engagement of competent teachers was concerned, Clitheroe was (lUiced on a level with neighbouring towns. The Vicar then went on to deal with


uiicertificated teachers, in the payment of whom, he said, Clitheroe was at the top. As a matter of fact, they had made the town a sort of paradise for the incompetent. F'or males they paid /.o.o to /TO, and females /SO to /6 0 . He would not go through the otlier authorities already quoted but w-uuld point out that, in one case only, was a higher salary paid for that cla.ss of teacher. (Laughter). Councillor Hardacre ; k is not a laughing


matter. 'I'he Vicar; You, yoursell, are laugliing. Councillor Hardacre; You would make


aiiylxtdy 'augh. 'I'he Vicar said the fact that they p.aid


high salaries to uncertificafed teachers slv.twed that they were putting industry and aliiliiy to teach at a discount. On the other hand, they were putliing a premium on those teachers who, for one cause or another—lit might be sickness, a preference for a low-er salary and lower quaJifications, or it might be lack of mental ability or aziness—but from whatever cause, that committee was placing a premium on such


teachers. A'derman Roberts stated that if the


increa-sdng to ;^130j


Vicar would include in his motion that the sub-committee should inquire into the coM, per scholar, of education in Clitheroe as compared with other towns, he would se­ cond it. He would point out that the co.st per scholar in Clitlieroe was / 3 7s. 5d., but, according to the Municipal Year Book the average co.st per scholar in county boroughs, in 1910 was / 2 iTs. 4d.; bor­ oughs. / 3 Is. 7d; and urban dktricts, / 3 Os. id. If they were not paying salaries large enough there must be a leakage


somewhere. 'I'ho 'Vicar declined to adopt the sugges­


tion, and, 'm answer to Alderman Roberts’ statement as to average cost, he said edu­ cation in a small borough always cost more than in a laije tovm. The Chairman said there were five schools in CKtheroe, where they only


needed three. Alderman Roberts seconded the 'Vicar’s


proposition. Councillor .Hardacre asserted that the . .


salaries of teachers in the West Riding, fluctuated according to the average attend-,


visitors to I ondon was asked what struck h'm most as compared with liis last v thirty odd years ago, he replied: "The change in the food and the change iu the amusements.” Indeed, the stage and the tea-shop and restaurant are now aruoiigsl the most important features of EuglLsh lite, John Bull has taken to amusing himself. Will it be believed that last year the


British people spent nearly twenty-live mil­ lion pounds in amusements? In 1873 it is estimated that they spent under lour million pounds. Have you ever considered what a gigantic industry 'he stage has become m this kingdom? It .nay be likened to a great factory, a laclory working night and day, turning out new theatres, new plays, new spectacles, new scenery, new costumes, new songs, new music, new situations, new jokes, new talents, .aew dances. Scores of able men are constantly devising, with Na­ poleonic ingenuity, fresh means of tickling the fancy of a fastidious public. Millions stcrlin.g ... .-apital etc invested merely in making the British people laugh. In brief, to amuse and entertain on the stage has grown to be the one serious concern of life to a population comprising altogether some forty thousand souls. It does not seem so long ago that there were scarcely a dozen theatres in the Metropolis and eiglity in the ■whole of the kingdom. Now there are sixty- seven in London, and 738 in the provinces. Add to this that there arc 311 music halls. As to output, last year, there were no fewer than 5-11 new plays and important revivals produced, as againti the 112 of forty years ago.


Can you picture this army of forty thou­


sand people drawn up in liattle array —divided off into battalions, regiments, o5inpanie.s, captained by leading men and leading ladies, with a thousand dramatists, composers, musicians, scene-painters, cos­ tumiers, carpenters, and wig-makers in the rear—all posturing, singing, declaiming and “gagging,” and ytrepared at the word of command from Generals Edwardes, F ro­ man, Moss, Collins, Stoll, and the rest, forthwith to invade the realms of drama, comedy, musical comedy, grand opera, light opera, farce, Shakespeare, tragedy, fantasy, episodes, pantomimes, Greek plays, sketches, and extravaganza? Is it not an inspiring sight? There is only one other theatrical army in rhe world like it, and that is in America.—^l’rom the September “Strand Magazine.’’


In order to abate the dust nuisance, the


municipal authority at Havre has been ex­ perimenting with salt on paved roads that are unsuitable for the application of tar. 'Fire salt is sprinkled thickly on the roads and then watered freely.


A BROKEN AXLE. An unpleasant experience befel a Clay


ton-le-iMoors party, on Saturday night. They were driving through Salford in dhar-a-banc, when the front axle of the ve­ hicle broke. All the passengers managed to retain their seats, but one Wy fainted. An­ other conveyance was procured from Mr J. R. Garlick, and the journey was resumed with verj» little delav.
