§ Mr. CHARLES CRAIGasked the Chief Secretary whether Professor Butler, professor of modern languages at University College, Cork, has been appointed secretary to the Intermediate Education Board in the room of Professor Bellingham Brady, although the Intermediate Board sent a special recommendation to the Lord Lieutenant that the post should be filled by a classical scholar?
§ Mr. BIRRELLThere is no reason to suppose that Mr. Butler, who has been a612W distinguished professor of modern languages, is not also a competent classical scholar equal to meeting any demand likely to be made upon him in his new post.
