§ 44. Mr. HORRABINasked the President of the Board of Education if he will recommend to local authorities the 2085 preparation in schools of regional survey maps similar to the land utilisation map of the County of Northampton, prepared in the schools of that county and recently published?
§ Sir C. TREVELYANI am aware that valuable work on these lines has been carried out in some areas, but I should prefer to leave full discretion in the matter to the individual authorities, who are already alive to the importance of encouraging in the rural schools the study of local history and conditions.
§ Mr. HORRABINIs the right hon. Gentleman not aware that a scheme for a complete map, covering the entire county, has been planned by the Geographical Association, which would be materially helped by the assistance of the Board of Education?
§ Sir C. TREVELYANI will note that fact.
