HC Deb 15 May 1871 vol 206 c809
MR. J. G. TALBOT

asked the Vice President of the Council, Whether, under Article 32 (c) of the New Code, a mixed school under a certificated master, in which the infants are taught in a separate room by an uncertificated mistress, the average of the elder children being 50, and that of the infants 35, will be compelled to have a pupil teacher besides the infant mistress?

MR. W. E. FORSTER

Sir, a school so situated would be compelled to have a pupil-teacher besides a mistress, unless the mistress was a pupil-teacher, when the school would come under Clause 69 of the New Code. He would refer the hon. Gentleman for any further information to the New Code, a copy of which it was easy to obtain.
