Mr. WYLIE asked if the three British amsters provided for in the Estimates of 1925 had been engaged yet. Would the Chairman state whether in addition to uther qualifiensions they were certificated teachers or not?

The East Surrey Regiment and the Royal Engineers were also represented.

Ja these circumstances they had to be content with what they got, but after the way this department sets its face against this sort of teacher, it now seemed that they could not get qualified teachers,,
