§ DR. MACNAMARAI beg to ask the Secretary to the Board of Education whether he is now in a position to issue a circular to public elementary school teachers respecting assistance from the boards of guardians for hungry children; and, if so, whether he will shortly state the main terms of that circular.
§ THE PARLIAMENTARY SECRETARY TO THE BOARD OF EDUCATION (Sir WILLIAM ANSON, Oxford University)This matter is being put forward with all due despatch, but I am afraid I am not yet in a position to make any definite statement on the subject.
