§ MR. PEELI beg to ask the Vice-President of the Committee of Council on Education whether his attention has been drawn to the fact that the exhibition of the works of students in the National Competition of Schools of Art is held at the dead season of the year—between 26th July and 31st August—and in a temporary iron building at the end of a lane; and whether, in view of the public interest in the competition, he could make arrangements to have the works exhibited in a more suitable place and at a more convenient time.
§ THE VICE-PRESIDENT OF THE BOARD OF EDUCATION (Sir J. GORST, Cambridge University)The exhibition is held at the time most convenient to art masters and teachers and art students, by whom it is very largely visited. The present structure, in which the exhibition has been held for the last ten years, is temporary; and ample accommodation will be provided in the buildings now being erected.
