tery Teachers, which has been held at Bradford, con-
cluded on Thursday. Among the resolution* adopted
were the following :-
1. That this Conference is of opinion that no great
advance can Is, made in elementary education in
England till regnlar attendance becomes the rule,
and not the exception, cast present, and that it be an
ininniction to the executive to prepare a 111.410fila to
the Education Department on the subject.
2. That the system of claasifying schools Iln "fair,'
"good," or "exoellent," sad awarding them • corms.
ponding nviney payment—namely. the merit grant
is based upon no sound principle, is unfair in its
application, provokes jealousies and ill-feeling among
both managers and teachers, and is • powerful incen-
tive to overpreesure, and ought therefore to be dis•
onntlnued.
S. That thin Confortmce condemns the principle and
administration of the metit great, and is of opinion
that it should be abolished, awl the fixed grant pt-v'portionately increased.
4. That this Conference instruct the executive to
memorialise the Department to at once remove Uwe.
clanses (merit grant) from the Code, and award the
grant now available under them AA a fixed sum on the
g attendance.
4. Thtt the merit grant places teachers ton much
