HC Deb 25 May 1886 vol 306 c27
MR. HENRY ALLEN (Pembroke and Haverford west)

asked the Vice President of the Committee of Council, Whether, on the inspection of Elementary Schools, the papers worked by the children could be returned with the Schedules, in order to show more clearly to the managers and schoolmasters, by the memoranda of the Inspectors, or otherwise, the points most requiring change or increased attention?

THE VICE PRESIDENT (Sir LYON PLAYFAIR) (Leeds, S.)

A Report drawn up by the Inspector as to the merits and defects of every school examined is sent to the Managers. To return the Papers worked by the children examined would not only entail great labour and expense, but, without special explanations, would be of no practical use.
