TEACHING CHINESE :

THE TYPE OF MAN MOST NEEDED.

EDUCATION BOARD MEETING.

A discussion as to the type of teacher most suited for the train- ing of Chinese boys took place at the Education Board yesterday, the matter arising out of the appointment of a teacher with University honours degree who had had no practical experience of teaching. Some members held that University training without experience was not the kind of qualification most needed but the Chairman disagreed." Mr. B. Wylle remarked that the people who appointed teachers for the Board at Home seemad to send out just whom they hiked.

had a couple of years in Canton, I certainly disagree with the idea that a person simply because he has a good honest degree should thereby be put in front of a class and that he can interpret his mes- sage and impart his knowledge without any special training for that particular work.

The Government, Mr. Clynes added, should face the indisput- able fact that for years to come the mass of unemployed would not be absorbed by private enterprise. They should, therefore, be used in serviceable work by means of a more general use of our internal resources and in every form of constructive, work for which the State could become responsible.

Mr. Wylie then quoted from an advertisement for teacher in- serted by the Government in which it was stated that one of the requirements was, ability to teach up to Matriculation stand- ard. Yet the Chairman had just now stated that a teacher had been engaged not, up to the Specification.

The Chairman: We do not Issue the same specification for every teacher. We want some teachers for British schools and some for Chinese schools.

Mr. Wylie: But you give each assistant master the same salary when he arrives, Surely you do not expect one with all these qualifications to work for the same salary as one without them. "The Chairman: The one J quoted as being without experi- ence, possesses ELI Honours degree of Oxford, and is intended for teaching Chinese boys. With such qualifications as he has, he should be quite suited for the post.
