Weekly
Irish Secondary Teachers Assisted.
| Those interested in secondary edu-
cation in Ireland will cordially well
come the intermediate Education Bill,
which lately received it's second read
ing in the House of Commons. The
Bill, which has received the sanction
of all parties in Ireland, is practically
the first step that has been taken in
the way of officially assisting the Sec
: ondary teachers in Ireland. 1t is in
tended to establish a register, which
will ensure that none but capable men
and women will be permitted to un-
dertake the task of education in Sec
ondary schools. Under the terms of
the measure a Government grant of
100000 is being set aside to improve
the teachers condition from a none
tary point of view, and it is hoped that
a greater incentive will be given to
existing teachers ap' that in future
, when vacancies occur those of consid-
cradle academic standing will be in
duced to fill the posts 1t is note
: worthy that in his speech Mr.. Birrell
paid deservedly high tribute to the
work which has been done by the
Christian Brothers for secondary edu-
cation in Ireland, and laid stress on
the fact that they had fought an uphill
battle and achieved success without
invoking outside aid
