§ 25. Mr. KINGasked the President of the Board of Education whether he has considered the Report of the consultative committee on the school attendance of children under five years of age (Cd. 4259, of 1908); and what steps have been taken by the Board to carry out the recommendations therein contained?
Mr. PEASEThe Report has, of course, been carefully considered by the Board, both when it was first issued and on many subsequent occasions. The question of making better provision for the care and training of children under five years of age, for whom proper maternal care at home is not available, is engaging my close attention in connection with the legislative proposals which I hope to lay before the House this Session.
§ 26. Mr. KINGasked the President of the Board of Education whether he will so alter the next issue of the Code as to give parents of children under five years of age excluded from school an appeal to the Board, as recommended by the consultative committee?
