§ MR. WILLIAM JOHNSTON (Belfast S.)I beg to ask the Vice President of the Committee of Council on Education whether, by introduction in the Code or by instructions to the teachers, attention will be directed during the present year in the various schools throughout the country to the events which have occurred throughout the Empire during the 60 years of Her Majesty's reign, with special reference to the extension of Her dominions and the moral and material advancement of Her people?
§ SIR JOHN GORSTThe Committee of Council have sufficient confidence in the patriotism and loyalty of the managers and teachers of elementary schools to leave them to impart suitable information to children as to the character of Her Majesty's long reign, without special instructions.
