§ SIR JOHN KENNAWAYasked the Vice President of the Council, If, looking at the difficulty of obtaining teachers for Elementary Schools and the great educational changes going on, he will hold out the hope that the provisions of Article 59 of the Code of 1873, whereby certificates of the third class are granted upon the Report of the Inspector to acting teachers reported to be efficient, will be allowed to remain in force for a further period; and, whether the examination of twenty children with fifteen passes would not be, as in the case of Scotland, a sufficient requirement?
§ MR. W. E. FORSTER,in reply, said, it was too late to make any alteration this year; but he would promise that the subject should receive the attention of the Government.
