§ 87. Mr. HURDasked the President of the Board of Education whether his attention has been called to the statement made by the Lord President of the Council in Paris to the Association Française pour la Société des Nations strongly urging that a systematic endeavour should be made to spread knowledge of the real objects of the League of Nations through the schools for the benefit of the parents as well as of the children; and what steps of this character are being taken in this country?
§ Mr. FISHERI have seen a brief report of my right hon. Friend's address, in which he is careful to notice that the organisation of public education is different in France and England. I am sure 259 the Local Education Authorities and teachers appreciate the importance of the subject, and with the co-operation of the various organisations which are advocating the principles of the League of Nations I have no doubt they will contribute to the object which the hon. Member has in view.
§ Mr. HURDCannot the right hon. Gentleman devise means of reminding them in the different parts of the country of the value of the work they can do?
§ Mr. FISHERThey are constantly being reminded of it.
