§ MR. TALBOT (Oxford University)I beg to ask the Vice President of the Committee of Council on Education whether, in consideration of the exceptional difficulty at the present moment of 1734 obtaining teachers for small country schools, he would temporarily extend the provisions of Article 52, and allow pupil teachers who have obtained a place in the second class in the Queen's Scholarship Examination, if specially recommended by the Inspector on the ground of their practical skill as teachers, to be recognised as provisionally certificated teachers?
§ THE VICE PRESIDENT OF THE COUNCIL (Mr. ACLAND,) York, W.R., RotherhamI am not at present satisfied that there is an exceptional difficulty in obtaining teachers in small country schools, if adequate salaries are offered. But I will make inquiries; and if I find that such is the case, I shall be happy to consider the proposal made in the question of the hon. Member.
