I am looking where to find an official record of posting of teacher salary for 1900 period.
Is regional Education Boards got some official documentation ?
Thanks in advance for any information
:-)

You can find detailed info on this sort of thing in the AJHR's
Here is a comparison article for example
http://atojs.natlib.govt.nz/cgi-bin/atojs?a=d&cl=search&d=AJHR1913-I.2.4.2.13&srpos=7&e=-------100--1------0teachers+salaries--
TEACHERS' SALARIES: AVERAGE AMOUNT OF SALARY PAID TO TEACHERS IN PRIMARY AND SECONDARY SCHOOLS IN 1894, 1900, 1906, AND 1912.

Thanks a lot Althea ...
I will have a look
I am trying to retrieve the professional parcours of my husband grandmother who was teacher. There is discrepancy in the accounts from living relatives.
-
Do you want to post the name or pm
and I will check the Teachers CD from the Gazettes
also some names are recorded in the AJHRS listed above
try surname, initial if you get no results from full name in your search

Thanks Althea,
The name est MacDONALD Matilda
Primary school teacher
I know she was at Greenvale, Southland - 1914 and 1913 .. I am look after dans slightly before these dates.
At some stage she was at Arthur Point school as sole teacher but not sure of the dates. I also understood that DOC have been restoring Arthur Point school (it's near the shot-over river)
-
is her full name Sarah Mary Matilda Macdonald??
or is this someone else
-
Thre are lots of entries in the Gazettes
this is an excellent resource for following teachers
you can see her name appears in the AJHRs

March 11 1914 NZ Gazette
Examination centre Invercargill Passed Class D
(There are four classes A, B, C, D
Register details in NZ Gazettes:
June 29 1917 Certificate D, Consecutive number on grading list 95, Public School
June 21 1918 Certificate D, Consecutive number on grading list 94, Public School
April 22 1919 Certificate D, Consecutive number on grading list 88, Public School
Do you have a big library nearby, you can search NZ Gazettes and look at the register each year
The Treasury in Thames has a fairly full set, ??Auckland library does and other main centres
So that you can fill the gaps..maybe later years give more info

No Grade for Teacher.
Second School: Eastern Bush Started 1/10/1917 Finished 11/07/1920 Comments.

Thanks Sandy :)
No grade for 1910-11 .. I guess she didn't have her certification yet !!? (cf post above re - 1914 exam)
How come there is no information for the school in between ??? (there is some in other official sources ???) because it was not Southland ???
Greenvale it's Otago no ???
What are the comments for Eastern Bush ???
Thanks a lot anyway :-)
