§ Mr. J. A. PEASEThe number of public inquiries which have been held locally in connection with the provision of elementary school accommodation since 1902–3 is 93. No special record of any other local inquiries has been kept, but a number of conferences of the nature of public inquiries have been held. They have, how- 1197W ever, generally been concerned with questions of organisation and co-ordination of schools, rather than with the supply of school accommodation.
