§ CAPTAIN PIMasked the President of the Board of Trade, Whether he intends to exclude from the benefit of his proposed contribution from the Mercantile Marine Fund "to any school ship or other institution for training boys to the sea service," such school ships or other institutions as are certified under the Reformatory Act or the Industrial School Act?
§ SIR CHARLES ADDERLEY, in reply, said, before he asked Parliament to authorize grants to be made out of the Mercantile Marine Fund to training-ship 817 schools, he should make an explicit statement of the mode in which he proposed such grants should be made; but he might say that his proposal would be the same as that which he made last year. He did not think such grants should be made for the training of boys whose training was paid or contributed for by other public money—that was for any boys committed by magistrates under either the Reformatory or Industrial Schools Acts; but they might be made to Industrial School ships as well as other school ships which took boys into training who had not been committed by magistrates.
