§ MR. SLOANI beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland whether, seeing that no provision has been made for the qualification of teachers in physical science and manual instruction, he will explain why the Commissioners of National Education in Ireland make it compulsory for a teacher in needlework to be trained in these subjects before receiving any salary.
§ MR. WYNDHAMTeachers of needle-work are not required to qualify in physical science and manual instruction. Provision has been made for the training of teachers in both of the latter subjects.
