The teacher reaches the maximum of the scale after 17 years at about the age 39 to 41.

(iv) For all posts of responsibility (e.g., infant mistress, principal teachers of subjects in secondary schools) there are allowances depending on the importance of the post. A principal teacher earning £1,190 to-day would have earned £508 in 1938, an increase of 134 per cent. Under the proposed scales() for 1956 he will have £1,300, an increase over 1938 of 156 per cent.

(v) There are special additions for headmasters and headmistresses. The total salary of the headmaster of the largest senior secondary schools before the war was £950; to-day it is £1,820: and in 1956(2) it will be £1,920. The increases, as percentages are 92 for 1955 and 102 for 1956.

NOTES.—(1) In 1938, scales were minimum scales and authorities were free to pay larger salaries. The scales entered are the average of what was actually paid. Since the war, teachers have been paid on scales prescribed for the whole of Scotland.

(2) As a result of the consideration of the Appleton Report, new scales for graduates and honours graduates in secondary schools have been proposed by the National Joint Council, to take effect from 1st April, 1956. Draft regulations to give effect to the Council's proposals will be published on 4th January, 1956.
