THE VICE PRESIDENT OF THE COUNCIL (Sir JOHN GORST, Cambridge

University: (1.) Not yet. (2.) Yes; and the inspector has reported that the school is in a good sanitary condition and that the premises are generally satisfactory. (3.) Inquiries are being made as to the question of additional school accommodation.
