§ 81. Captain BOWYERasked the President of the Board of Education whether his attention has been called to the pamphlet, No. 21, issued by the Ministry of Reconstruction, entitled "The Classics in British Education"; and whether, having regard to the clear exposition of the essentials of real education for the masses of the people as set forth in this publication, steps will be taken to provide that copies of the pamphlet may be supplied to all teachers in secondary and elementary schools in the United Kingdom?
§ The PRESIDENT of the BOARD of EDUCATION (Mr. Herbert Fisher)I have seen this pamphlet. It is apparently intended for the general public rather than for the professional teacher, and I do not think it is particularly suitable for the purpose suggested by the hon. and gallant Member, which would involve a distribution of about 200,000 copies.
