§ 41. Mr. GRIFFITHSasked the President of the Board of Education whether he is aware that the school of metalliferous mining in Cornwall is the only day technical school in the county where the Burnham scale of salaries is not applied; and whether he will make representations to the county council as to the advisability of their applying this scale to these teachers whose salaries are at present considerably less?
§ The PRESIDENT of the BOARD of EDUCATION (Lord Eustace Percy)I am aware of the position in regard to this school. The county council assist the 1586 school financially, but are not responsible for the appointment and payment of the teachers on the staff, and I am not prepared to interfere in any way with their discretion in fixing the amount of the assistance which they give the school.
