HC Deb 26 June 1917 vol 95 cc181-2
25. Mr. BOLAND

asked the Secretary for Scotland whether, in view of the expected introduction of educational reform for Scotland, he will state, from the returns furnished by school managers to the department, what are the average salaries for each of the following grades of primary school teachers in board schools and in Catholic schools, respec- tively, in the Glasgow school board area: male principals, excluding second masters; male assistants, including second masters; female principals, including infant mistresses; and female assistants, excluding infant mistresses; and will he state the number of children per certificated teacher in board schools and in Catholic schools, respectively, for the same area?

The SECRETARY for SCOTLAND (Mr. Munro)

I would refer my lion. Friend to my answer to his question of the 11th instant, to which I have nothing to add.

Mr. BOLAND

Is the right hon. Gentleman aware that in my former question I asked for a very much larger set of figures than this I This merely refers to the Glasgow area. Would it not be possible from the returns of managers to give this information?

Mr. MUNRO

I am sure the amount of labour and time required would be out of proportion to the value of the result.
