§ COLONEL BOWLES (Middlesex, Enfield)To ask the Secretary to the Board of Education on what grounds the Board of Education now require a superficial space of 18 square feet per pupil as regards secondary schools, in view of the fact that in the case of elementary schools 15 feet was allowed.
(Answered by Sir William Anson.) The requirement referred to is the result of careful investigation, and is made on the recommendation of the best authorities. The requirements of elementary schools and of secondary schools cannot properly be treated as being on the same basis.
