§ 103 and 104. Major STEELasked the President of the Board of Education (1) whether he will consider the postponement of the alterations contemplated for Southlands Grammar School. New Romney, at a total cost of £4,400, in view of the fact that the present attendance is very small and in order that the ratepayers may not be burdened with the half of this outlay at a time when the present rates are such a crushing burden;
(2) whether he is aware that five, teachers are employed at Southlands Grammar School, New Romney, for the education of 54 scholars; and will he insist on a reduction of this staff in order that public money may be saved?
§ Mr. FISHERI do not know precisely how the matter stands at the present moment, but I am making inquiries.
