§ MR. YERBURGH (Chester)I beg to ask the Vice-President of the Committee of Council on Education whether his attention has been drawn to a letter from the Bishop of Chester upon the proposal to inscribe upon the walls of our public elementary schools the names and record of their old scholars who have distinguished themselves by acts of heroism I and self-sacrifice, or have earned in other; ways a high place in their country's regard; and whether the Education Department will sanction this proposal; and, if so, whether he would take steps to encourage its adoption.
§ THE VICE-PRESIDENT OF THE COMMITTEE OF COUNCIL ON EDUCATION (Sir J. GORST,) Cambridge UniversityThe Committee of Council consider the proposal of the Bishop of Chester a most excellent one, and will do their best to secure its adoption by the managers of elementary schools.
