§ MR. SALTasked the Vice President of the Council, If in view of the hardship that may be occasioned to many schools by the proposed Article 114 of the New Code, he will consider the expediency of allowing, as heretofore, the special grant for pupil teachers (Articles 110 and 110*) to be exempt from the operation of the money limitation?
§ MR. MUNDELLALast year, for the first time, we excepted the pupil teacher grant from the operation of the money limitation of the Act of 1876. But it has been pointed out to us that this was contrary to the 19th section of Viscount Sandon's Act, and, therefore cannot be sustained. The consequent reduction, however, is a very small matter.
§ MR. BOURKEHas the Vice President considered what effect that decision would have on the various schools?
§ MR. MUNDELLAThe effect will be that the pupil teachers' grant will be in the same position as it was in 1876, and has been since.
§ MR. BOURKEWill the House have an opportunity of expressing its opinion on the New Code?
§ MR. MUNDELLAOf course, any Member can at any time before the New Code becomes law call attention to it.
§ In reply to Mr. STANLEY LEIGHTON,
§ MR. MUNDELLAsaid, the New Code would come into operation 30 days from the date of its being laid on the Table.
§ MR. J. G. TALBOTWill an opportunity be given to discuss the Code?
§ MR. MUNDELLAAs the matter cannot be blocked, it can be discussed any night.
