§ MR DAVID THOMASI beg to ask the Vice-President of the Committee of Council on Education if his attention has been called to the Regulations of the Central Welsh Board of intermediate Education in respect to County Exhibition awards; and if he is aware that in a recent examination in Carmarthenshire, A. B. Thomas, who came out third in the list, would have stood first had he failed in Mathematics instead of attaining the honours standard, while he would have remained third if he had had the combined qualifications of the two successful candidates in addition to his own; and, if if is within the scope of his functions, will he call the attention of the Central Board to the effect of these Regulations on the awards.
§ THE VICE-PRESIDENT OF THE COMMITTEE OF COUNCIL ON EDUCATION (Sir J. GORST,) Cambridge UniversityThe Board of Education have no right to interfere with the Regulations of the Central Welsh Board in respect to County Exhibition awards, nor are these binding on any County Governing body which does not wish to make use of them.
