§ MR. CREMERI beg to ask the Vice-President of the Committee of Council on Education if he will lay upon the Table of the House a copy of the joint circular recently issued by the Board of Education and the War Office in regard to the teaching of military drill in public elementary schools; and if he will state what authority these departments possess to act in concert upon the subject.
§ THE VICE-PRESIDENT OF THE BOARD OF EDUCATION (Sir JOHN GORST, Cambridge University)A copy of the model course of military training for use in the upper departments of Public Elementary Schools was yesterday presented to Parliament. It is, as appears on its face, issued by the Board of Education only, under their general powers.
