§ 68. Sir N. GRATTAN-DOYLEasked the President of the Board of Education whether he proposes, in connection with the proposed raising of the school-leaving age, to make arrangements for the absorption into the teaching profession of men and women of business experience, with a view to giving the older scholars a practical training in commercial methods and practice?
§ Sir C. TREVELYANI am sure that valuable results can be secured in the senior schools by the employment of a proportion of properly qualified teachers with industrial or commercial experience. Steps have already been taken to increase the supply of teachers with industrial experience qualified to give instruction in practical subjects; and I very much hope that it will also prove possible to attract men and women with experience of commercial work.
§ Mr. McSHANEAre there not already men and women in the teaching profession quite capable of giving that instruction?
