§ COLONEL LOCKWOODI beg to ask the Vice-President of the Committee of Council on Education whether experience as a private tutor will be held by the Board of Education as coming within the meaning of the expression "experience in teaching" as used in the Schedule (4) (2) (ii.) to the Order; whether it is intended that, while the teachers in Column A are exempt from payment of registration fees, the expenses of registration shall be borne by such teachers only as are placed in Column B, or in the Supplemental Registers; if not, will a Treasury Grant be made to the Registration Council on behalf of the teachers registered in Column A; and, should the income derived from registration fees fall short of the expenses of registration, will he state who is to be responsible for meeting this deficit.
§ SIR J. GORSTThe experience of teaching must be such as is satisfactory to the registration authority. The Question in paragraph 2 is answered by Sections 10 and 11 of the Schedule. The answer to the third paragraph is in the negative. The registration fees in the first years will be more than sufficient. The fees will be so regulated afterwards as to cover the cost.
