HC Deb 28 May 1913 vol 53 c169W
Sir J. D. REES

asked the President of the Board of Education whether his Department regards the boy scouts as a movement with which elementary schools should not be associated?

Mr. PEASE

I regard the boy scout movement generally as a most useful agency for supplementing and continuing the work of the elementary schools in the formation of character and the cultivation of a spirit of co-operation and good citizenship.
