§ MR. AUSTIN TAYLOR (Liverpool, East Toxteth)To ask the President of the Board of Education if he will issue a continuation of Cd. 3990 (Public Elementary Schools in Single School Parishes), showing the total number of such schools with the total attendance, and grouping them under the denominational and undenominational subdivisions adopted in this particular Return.
| The voluntary schools are arranged in the following summary in two aspects, viz., in respects of tenure and trusts under each of the five classes to which they were assigned in compiling the Return [H.C. 178, 1906]; and in respect of religious denomination by reference to the religious instruction which it appears that the trust deed (if any) intended, whether by implication or by express provision, should be given in the school; or, failing this, by reference to the religious instruction which, so far as the Board of Education are aware, is actually given in the school. | ||||||||||||
