§ Mr. J. P. FARRELLasked the Chief Secretary whether, in the case of a boy attending a primary school who was able to matriculate from the primary school at the National University, he will arrange for a consensus amongst such matriculated students which would be the equivalent of a scholarship examination, and thus get over the difficulty of excluding primary schoolboys, who are mostly the children of the poor ratepayers of the country?
§ Mr. BIRRELLThe arrangement of examinations for matriculated students is a matter for the governing bodies of the Universities to deal with, and not one in which I can interfere.
