§ Mr. CARLILEasked the President of the Board of Education how many students attended courses of instruction in zoology and in mine surveying, respectively, when studying for their associate-ships at the Imperial College of Science and Technology during the session of 1909–10?
§ Mr. CARLILEalso asked what was the sum expended in salaries upon the teaching staff of the Imperial College of Science and Technology for the following subjects, separately, zoology and mine surveying in 1909 and in 1910?
§ The PRESIDENT of the BOARD OF EDUCATION (Mr. Runciman)Mine surveying is an integral part of the work of the mining department of the Imperial College. No separate statement of salary expenditure in respect of any particular portion of the mining department, such as is suggested in the question, can properly be made. I am informed that the salary expenditure of that department of the college for the session 1909–10 is some £1,900. The students in the mining department for the session 1909–10 numbered sixty-six, and those in the department of zoology twenty-eight, inclusive in both cases of occasional and research students. The salaries of the staff of the department of zoology for that session amount to some £2,700.
