§ MR. PICTON (Leicester)I beg to ask the Vice President of the Committee of Council on Education whether he is aware that the time tables of the boys' and girls' departments of the St. Andrew's School, Willesden, show that a distinction is made in the education imparted to the scholars who attend as free scholars and those who pay fees; whether, if the time tables make no difference of this kind, such a distinction does in fact exist; and whether the Department are prepared to recognise a discrimination, in reference to the amount of instruction, between scholars who pay and those who do not pay fees, all attending 1175 the same department and working in the same standard?
§ MR. ACLANDI understand from the Inspector that the time tables of this school show that a distinction is made between the education given to children who pay fees and the education given to those who do not, and that those who pay fees are taught separately from the free scholars, and are taught additional subjects. I am of opinion that every scholar attending any department of a school should be entitled to all the educational advantages offered in such department, and I will consider this matter, if necessary, in connection with next year's Code.
