Mr. T. WILSONasked the President of the Board of Education whether a teacher has the power, under any regulation or instruction issued toy the Board, to keep a child that is a half-timer in school as a punishment for its not doing its lessons satisfactorily, and by so doing prevent the child going to its employment for half a day?
§ Mr. HERBERT FISHERI am not aware of any regulation or instruction of the Board which authorises such action.
