§ 8. Sir R. Aclandasked the Secretary of State for War whether he will equip the London Regional Education Committee, and other similar committees, with magic lanterns so as to facilitate the giving of interesting lectures to military units?
§ Captain MargessonThe Army possesses a number of lanterns and similar instruments which are used for educational lectures as well as for military training, and these are at the disposal of the lecturers provided by Regional Committees, whenever they can be made available.
§ Sir R. AclandWill the Minister look into this matter again with a view to seeing whether it would not be more convenient if lanterns were held by the people who now send out the lecturers?
§ Captain MargessonEvery effort is made to make magic lanterns available for lecturers, but there is a general shortage of these lanterns, and I am afraid that it would not be practicable to allot any part of the available stock solely for the use of Regional Committees.
§ Mr. HannahAre not a great many lectures being given to the troops as things are? I am giving some myself.
