HC Deb 12 July 1877 vol 235 cc1176-7
MR. BEAUMONT

asked the Vice President of the Council, Whether his attention has been called to the long-continued inefficiency of Stamfordham School in Northumberland; and, whether the Endowed Schools Department will be prepared to issue at an early date a new scheme for the management of the said school, providing (inter alia) for the compensation and compulsory retirement of the present master thereof?

VISCOUNT SANDON

This ease has engaged the attention of the Charity Commissioners for a long time. The draft of a new scheme for the management of the school has been prepared, and is on the point of being published in the manner required by the Endowed Schools Act. It provides, among other things, for the compensation and compulsory retirement of the present master.
