national school teachers in Ireland, Although the hon. Gentleman will not expect me in an answer to a question to make a statement as to the scheme of the Government, I must say that I cannot believe that any plan for assisting education in Ireland can be otherwise than advantageous to the national school teachers.

MR. A. J. BALFOUR

I have always been anxious to give every information in my power.
