§ 19. Sir PHILIP MAGNUSasked whether the Board are prepared to allow an extension of time for the receipt of applications from secondary teachers for the return of the fees paid by them for inclusion in the old register of teachers?
Mr. PEASEThe Board announced on the 27th of last month that they would be prepared to receive applications for the repayment of the guinea paid by teachers on admission to Column B of the Register maintained by the previous Registration Council, until the 28th February, 1913; but after that date no further applications will be entertained.
§ Sir P. MAGNUSWhat steps has the right hon. Gentleman taken to make known to teachers this extension of time, of which I have heard for the first time?
Mr. PEASEAn announcement was made in the "Morning Post" on Thursday, and the "Times" on Friday. It has been sent to the daily Press, and I believe also to the weekly Press, and it appeared also in the "Schoolmaster" on Saturday.
§ Sir P. MAGNUSHaving regard to the fact that the fee has been refunded to only 4,581 teachers out of 11,666 on the register, will the right hon. Gentleman direct that a postcard be sent to every teacher who has not received his fee, informing him of the extension of time?
