HC Deb 31 March 1871 vol 205 cc984-5
MR. C. DALRYMPLE

asked the Vice President of the Council, Whether, looking to the statement in Article 19, B. 1, of the New Code, that infants taught as a separate department are to have a grant of 10s., infants taught in a separate room by an uncertificated teacher, but under the general superintendence of the certificated teacher, may receive any grant; and, whether they must be limited in number as under Article 51, B. 2, of the Revised Code of 1870?

MR. W. E. FORSTER

replied that infants in a separate room, but in a class taught by an uncertificated master, would receive a grant of 8s. and not of 10s., inasmuch as they would not be considered a separate department unless the teacher happened to be a head-teacher. There would be no limit as to the number, whether the sum of 8s. or 10s. was given.
