B r i e f l y s t a t e d , mf proposal t o tho Director of Public Instruction was that certain toe chore o f advanced years should ho r e t i r e d on the f u l l pension t o which t heir years of service • e n t i t l e d the®. This coarse, however, has been found t o be impos- s i b l e under standing rules*
Fro® the better of Birector of Public i n s t r u c t i o n . I t w i l l be eeen that two a l t e r n a t i v e s ere suggested •
( e ) The deputation of certain teachers f o r s course of tra inlrig a t the OoveraEient Training centre i n Physi- cal ^Gtikoatlon l a s t i n g one f u l l session*
(b) The transferal of teachers u n f i t f o r such training to t h e general teaching l i n e *
Regarding ( a ) , i t mmy be noted that the practical pert of the training I s designed f o r young non of a high standard of a t h e l t i e a b i l i t y , bat that gyransetic Masters and d r i l l saaeters saay be put through e modified practical course simultaneously with the younger students* They o u s t , hoe ever, undergo a ssedical examina- t i o n i n order t o guard against the adaiseion of teachers who
B l i g h t
^ r
s i g h t lie harmfully a f f e c t e d by the practical training. H « , The theoretical training of student* pra-supposea a fa high educational standard* bat in this connection also an attee will be aade to modify the course, if necessary. Teachers depot
mmt, however, have a fluent knowledge of English. I enclose a 'copy of prospectus of the training Centre for Information rcgardia
the existing training course*
as regards <b}, teachers of advanced years, say over
years k x | « of age w i l l naturally be considered* 1 do not, howevei wish to propose that teachers u n f i t for the teaching of claas-roao subjects should be transferred aerely in order t o mice roan for
trained physical instructors, as t h i s might have detrimental of feci upon the academic studies of the children placed under then* It nay be renewberod, however, that the appointment of an instructor i n place of a drlU-aaatcr w i l l iaean the addition t o the staff of each i n s t i t u t i o n of a university graduate w h o will be capable of undertaking & certain assouat of academic work. The i n s t i t u t i o n s way, therefore, benefit frost the change*
In the circumstances, I shall be glad i f yaw w i l l consider the position of the teaehsrs named bel w, ana give «e your opinion as t o mm the services of each my best be u t i l i s e d in the future*
If there are cases which ycm consider to be u n f i t e i t h e r f o r depu- tation to the training centre in Calcutta or for transfer t o tho general teaching l i n e , perhaps you w i l l give a s p e c i a l report upon
then* in order that special steps ssay be taken to put the® through a short training course*
I have tho iio.sour to be.
