§ MR. BODKINI beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland is he aware that school children and monitors in Ireland under the National Board are examined in the contents of three reading books, extending in some cases to nearly 2,000 pages of miscellaneous information; and whether any such system prevails in England; and, if not, whether he will take steps to abolish the system existing in Ireland and substitute the system prevailing in the English Board schools?
MR. J. MORLEYThis question was placed on the Paper for the first time this morning, and as there has not been sufficient time to obtain a Report, I must ask my hon. and learned Friend to defer the question till to-morrow.
