Sir HENRY CRAIK

I rise to call attention to the entire neglect of Scottish education during this Session. We have a grievance of a very serious kind, in which I expected to have the alliance of my colleagues from Scotland upon the other side, but that alliance has entirely failed. We have failed to get any discussion of the most important grievances of Scottish school masters, and the only chance I have of insisting upon this grievance, though we have no chance of getting an answer from the Lord Advocate, is at this moment. This is the only occasion open to us for a discussion on Scottish education during the whole of this Session, and I should have expected that not one Mem-

ber, but that every Member from Scotland would have risen to protest against this treatment. I did expect, and I fancy-Scotland also will expect, that some sort of stand should have been made on this occasion by Scottish Members. They know perfectly well the hardships suffered by Scottish teachers. We have been able to vote money for our own salaries, but we have not been able to give the very moderate sum that will be necessary for the superannuation to these hard-worked teachers, and not one word in their behalf is uttered at this moment by Liberal Members opposite. None of them rose-when the opportunity occurred. They had not insisted that the Government, of whom they pretend to be supporters, should adhere to the exigent wants of Scotland. Hon. Members opposite know very well the feelings of the Scottish teachers upon this subject.

And it being Ten of the clock, Mr. Speaker, in pursuance of Standing Order No. 15, proceeded to put forthwith the Question necessary to dispose of the Report of the Resolution then under consideration.

Question put, "That this House doth agree with the Committee in the said Resolution."

The House divided: Ayes, 213; Noes, 118.
