§ 14. Captain GARRO-JONESasked the President of the Board of Education whether he is aware that there is anxiety among teachers and parents as to the amount of home work required of pupils in secondary schools, and particularly of pupils in girls' secondary schools; and whether he contemplates any step to reduce the amount of home work required?
§ Lord E. PERCYI am sure that local authorities and teachers are alive to the dangers of excessive home work and can be relied upon to see that pupils are not subjected to overstrain on this account.
