It is evident ihiit the present scale of salaries. is insufficient to retain the services of efficient and well qualified teach- ers. and it consideration of the fact that the most eflicieni and successful teacher is placed on a level with the most inefircient and unsuccessful is manifestly degrading, and that a grsdustion of rules in accordance with the efficiency and qrralificaiion of teacliers (it must be obvious) would only bejust and equitable, and could not fail of pfliirding general satisfaction, for no con- scientious teachers would scruple to submit his qualification to a test, were he assured that his reward wulild be in proportion to his merits.
