I beg to ask the President of the Board of Education whether his attention has been drawn to the action of Lord Rosebery in presenting a number of Union Jacks to young children attending public, elementary schools, and to the speech he made on that occasion; ancl whether he will consider the advisability of having the speech printed and issued by his board to all public elementary schools in the United Kingdom, with a view to promoting and encouraging a patriotic sentiment in the youth of the country.

THE PRESIDENT OF THE BOARD OF EDUCATION (Mr. MCKENNA,) Monmouthshire, N.

No, Sir.

CAPTAIN. J. CRAIG

Has the right hon. Gentleman read the inspiriting words of the noble Lord?

MR. MCKENNA
