§ MR. TULLYTo ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland whether the Commissioners of National Education can explain in the case of the principal teacher of school, Roll No. 13,141, District 21, why the amount added to his consolidated salary, paid on 5th September, 1901, has been since denied to him; and whether he will have the balance forwarded to this teacher.
(Answered by Mr. Wyndham.) The additional payment made to this teacher in September, 1901, was an equivalent grant in lieu of results fees for his services as an extra teacher in a neighbouring girls' school, where he taught 1634 algebra and book-keeping as extra subjects to the girls prior to the introduction of the new system. Algebra and book-keeping are no longer extra subjects for which special fees can be paid, and the Commissioners are now considering whether they can continue an equivalent grant in this and other cases for work which the teachers are no longer required to perform.
