124 Belgrave Road, Westminster, S.W. 1 (page 310). 
The League was founded in 1901 to promote co-operation between different 
countries and colonies of the Empire, mainly in affairs connected with Education. 
It initiated the scheme for the Interchange of Teachers and Inspectors through- 
outthe Empire in 1907, but the scheme was not fully established until 1923, when 
the following recommendations were adopted by the Imperial Conference of that 
year, accepted by the Education Departments of the Dominions, and approved 
by the Board of Education :— 
1. That interchange should be sought as far as practicable between teachers of 
similar qualifications and experience. 
2. That leave of absence with pay be granted to teachers accepted for inter- 
change ; such leave of absence to cover the period of travel outwards and 
homewards. 
3. That service abroad of interchanged teachers should involve no disability in 
respect of salary, increment, seniority, or of superannuation or other privilege. 
4, That teachers so interchanged shall not enter the service of the authority to 
which they exchange without the permission of the authority under which 
they are permanently employed. 
5. That all exchange of teachers shall be for the period of one year exclusive 
of the time spent in travelling. 
6. That no teacher be accepted for interchange who is under 25 years of age or 
has had less than five years’ experience or is over 45 years of age.
