§ MR. P. M'DONALD (Sligo, N.)asked the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, Whether he will, in deference to the unanimous request of the National Teachers of Ireland, recommend the Commissioners to send the result of the examinations through the District Inspectors, as formerly, instead of the Managers, as at present?
THE PARLIAMENTARY UNDER SECRETARY (Colonel KING-HARMAN)(who replied) said (Kent, Isle of Thanet)The Commissioners of National Education inform me they have arranged that in all cases of promotion the usual notification shall be made to the Managers. In cases of failure the notification will be made to the Inspector only, to whom Managers and 938 teachers, if they so desire, can apply for information and details. In the case of unclassed teachers who fail to pass the qualifying examination for the lowest class, and who cannot be retained in the service, the notification will necessarily be made to the Managers.
