§ 56. Mr. JAMES GARDNERasked the President of the Board of Education whether he is aware of the increasing tendency to confine the appointment to headships of secondary schools to members of the older universities, to the prejudice of many who have had to go to other universities more within their means; and whether he will obtain a return showing the number of persons from each of the universities who hold headships of secondary schools?
§ Sir C. TREVELYANThe information which I have does not support the suggestion that there is an increasing tendency to confine these appointments to members of the older universities, and 1236 I do not think that any useful purpose would be served by a return such as my hon. Friend proposes.
