Roberts Opposes Salary Scale Plan made once a year for the past 15 years," he said. A practical difficulty that stood in its way was the problem of compensating teachers for teach- ing in certain areas if the scale was to be laid down at provincial levels. MERIT SYSTEM With regard to a merit system for paying teachers, Mr. Fletcher said, it would be very difficult to pin a principal down to a merit rating for his staff. '""He's going to have an un- happy staff if he's going to grade them," Mr, Fletcher said. Teachers had to obtain their qualifications in a similar way to doctors, he said, and no one could try to grade doctors. DIFFICULT PERIOD The next 10 years promised to be the worst time yet for get ting secondary school teachers, Mr, Fletcher said, and unless each board 'could provide the facilities that teachers wanted they were faced with severe staff 'shortages.

L. Roberts, principal of the O'Neill Collegi- ate and Vocational Institute, com- mented Tuesday on a recommen- dation of a special committee of the Ontario School Trustees and Ratepayers Association. The trustees, gathered in To- ronto for the 'annual Ontario Educational Association confer- ence, also recommended that ex- ceptional teachers be given merit pay and that cost of living allow- ances be paid according to the zone. INTERESTING QUESTION "It would be interesting to put a question to the group making the suggestion," Mr. Roberts said. "Is their purpose to make teaching more attractive and to get the right people in it or do they want to save money?" Mr. Roberts finds it curi- ous that in a free enterprise society, parents should want to regiment the people that teach their children about that society. NOHING NEW George A.
