§ MR. THOS. F. SMYTHI beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland if the Commissioners of National Education in Ireland would consider the advisability of altering the present plans for teachers' residences, so as to include a bathroom and lavatory, to be erected on the latest hygienic principles, and if the cost of the same would be added to the Board of Works loan, and that the number of years for repayment be extended, so as to lighten the present yearly payments on the teachers of Ireland.
MR. BRYCEI have referred this question to the Commissioners of National Education, by whom it will be considered at their next meeting on the 18th instant.
