Excerpt from Cape of Good Hope: Report of the Select Committee on Education With regard to salaries, there is no doubt that, compared with what men of similar standing can earn in other professions, the prospects held out by the teaching profession are not very attractive, and it would be greatly in the interest of education if the authorities concerned would take the ques tion of better salaries to teachers into favourable consideration because that will be one of the most effectual means of attracting a fair preportion of our best men to the profession. As regards in security of tenure and liability to interference by parents and managers, your Committee think that the present system, under which the control is vested jointly in the School Committees, School Boards and the Department, ought to be sufiicient guarantee of fair treatment to teachers. Your Committee think that the lack of status in so far as it is a grievance will be, to a considerable extent, minimised if more of our graduates, sup ported as they will be by their academic status, can be induced to enter the teaching profession.

The number of schools open at the end of 1907 was 1,963, or 42 more than at the end of 1906. In Table A1 the schools are classified, as for 1906, according to the yearly average attendance. The classification is in accordance with the grades in Part I of the schedule to "The Education Act Amendment Act, 1905." The number of small schools with an average attendance not exceeding twenty shows a further increase of 42 for 1907, the number, which was 596 for 1906, was 638 for 1907. The number of pupils attending these schools has increased by 521 - namely from. 7,344 to 7,865. During the year 1907, 76 schools were closed - viz., in Auckland, 14; Taranaki, 7; Wanganui, 6; Wellington, 3; Hawke's Bay, 12; Marlborough, 14; Nelson, 5; North Canterbury, 5; Otago, 3; Southland, 7. As was the case in previous years, several of these schools, although reckoned as closed in their original form, were reopened in another; thus some were amalgamated, whilst others which had been joined as half-time schools became full-time schools.
