§ 38. Mr. AYLESasked the President of the Board of Education whether he is aware that in certain schools receiving grants from the Board, where there is a recognised cadet corps or officers training corps, every scholar is compelled to join or else to resign from the school; and whether he will take steps to inform such schools that no scholar who desires to remain outside this corps is to be penalised?
§ Mr. TREVELYANI have not had my attention called to any case of a school in receipt of grants from public funds where compulsion of the kind referred to in the question is practised.
