Mr. ALAN SYKESasked the President of the Board of Education whether he is drafting fresh regulations whereby more elementary school teachers will be promoted to be junior inspectors; and whether these posts will be filled by nomination, and, if not, by what means?
§ Mr. J. A. PEASEI am proposing to appoint assistant inspectors of a new class, in place of junior inspectors and sub-inspectors, as vacancies arise, and I hope to include in the new class teachers from public elementary schools. I am not in a position to make any definite announcement as the matter is still under discussion with the Treasury. No alteration is contemplated in the practice of filling vacancies, as they arise, by nomination.
