✨ Governor's Speech to Parliament
JUNE 29.] THE NEW ZEALAND GAZETTE. 1769
It has for some time been recognised that greater efficiency in the education system would be obtained by decreasing the size of the classes under instruction; proposals will accordingly be laid before you for a substantial increase in the staff of the public schools. At the same time, in order to secure a full supply of well-qualified teachers, it is proposed to make provision, especially in the case of small schools, also for an increase in the salaries of teachers. The question of annual increments to salaries generally, and for giving greater facilities for the promotion and transfer of teachers, will also be submitted to you for your consideration.
Measures will be submitted to you dealing with national annuities, closer settlement extension, second ballot, Shipping and Seamen Act, Civil Service Amendment, slaughtering and inspection, contractors’ and workers’ liens, workers’ compensation, friendly societies, naval subsidy, Meikle acquittal, back-blocks roading and bridging, public holidays; local bodies, tramway, gas, and electric-light companies’ employees superannuation; Public Service Classification and Superannuation Amendment, Native lands, water-power leasing, Life Assurance Policies Amendment, consolidation of statute law, destitute persons relief, Government post audit, inspection of machinery, model by-laws, Native Townships Act, Mining Act, teachers’ superannuation, police superannuation, school-teachers salaries and superannuation, land and income assessment, local authorities’ subsidies, local Government, mental hospitals, hospital and charitable aid, the law of libel, counties, infant life protection, impounding, corporation contracts, the Judiciary, the Supreme Court Code, secret commissions, and other important matters.
In conclusion, I desire to express my confidence that you will give to all the matters I have brought under your notice your careful consideration and soundest judgment, and I trust that your labours and decisions may have God’s blessing, resulting in promoting still further the prosperity, happiness, and permanent well-being of the people of this Dominion as a whole.
By Authority: JOHN MACKAY, Government Printer, Wellington.—1908.
