§ MR. DAVIESasked the Vice President of the Council, Whether a certificated teacher of a mixed school can obtain the grant of ten shillings for infants, provided only there be a separate room and all necessary appliances for an infant school, or is it necessary that there should be a separate certificated teacher as well as a separate room before that ten shilling grant can be obtained?
§ MR. W. E. FORSTERreplied that it was necessary when the 10s. grant was given that there should be a separate room as well as a separate teacher; but in schools where there was no separate room, and where the infant school was a class of a general school, the 8s. grant would be given, and in that case it would not be necessary to have a certificated teacher in that class.
