bent upon Ireland's representatives III

Tue Teachers Act-Mr. NJ MeldOn, Nj IT,
presided at the annual puOllc meeting
which closed the conference OF the irish
national teachers. He said the teachers
had to complain that the Government
had not carried out the pledges given 80
far back as 1874 as regarded the increase
OF salaries. substantially, nothing had
been done, anu in some respects worse
than nothing. Some temporary alleVla-
tion had been given, but their salaries
should not be uncertain, should not b.
dependent on contingencies, especially
contingencies over which they mad no
control. 1t appeared to him that the
Government mad been given ample time,
for the teachers had unanimously
adopted resolution accepting the
terms offered by the Government
in 1875, and he hoped, therefore,
that the Government would forthwith
settle this question OF pensions. He
thought that the time for bringing the
laatter 10 a crisis had arrived. Resolu-
lions were adopted expressing dlssatis-
| faction with the working OF the Teachers
Act, by which the Poor.laW Unions are
permlssvely enabled to contribute to
The salaries OF teachers, and requesting
| that the increase OF salaries should not
, be made dependent on any sucn contln-
| gency; that the Commissioners OF Ma
| tIonal Education should be requested to
raise the standard OF qualification for
| teachers; and That in the results pro-
| gramme tney should place the teaching
| Of the Irish language on the
same footing as the teacher
| Of G eek and Latin. OAe of the speakers
re erred to the fact tnat at last census
| there were in the Irish Warehouses; al
puupers no Iess than one hundred anU
| eleven eX-teachers.
