§ MR. MACARTNEYI beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland whether the Commissioners of National Education in Ireland communicate the results of the examination held in July of candidates for the Training Colleges to them or any other persons; and, if not, whether he can state why not; and whether there is any objection to publishing a Return of the names of the candidates admitted to Drumcondra and the other Training Colleges, with the percentage of their answering as well as that of the rejected candidates?
MR. J. MORLEYThe practice hitherto has been for the Commissioners to communicate the result of the examination to the Principals of the Training Colleges, and it was within the discretion of the Authorities of the Colleges to communicate the marks to the candidates who passed the examination, if these authorities thought proper to do so. The Commissioners will, in future, issue to the Managers of the Colleges a rota of the persons examined, with a view to its exhibition in the respective Colleges, indicating by numbers and not by names the cases of such candidates as fail to qualify.
