§ Mr. CAMPBELLasked the President of the Board of Education whether a considerable proportion, if not a majority, of the lecturers in economics and kindred subjects in classes under the Workmen's Educational Association and in university tutorial classes arc professed Socialists; and whether it is advisable that such propaganda should be aided by Government grants?
§ Mr. FISHERThe Board do not and can not inquire into the opinions of the teachers of these classes, the responsibility for whose appointment or acceptance rests primarily with the university committees and the local education authorities. I have no reason to suppose that the teachers abuse their position or that the Government grants are used for purposes of progaganda as distinct from legitimate instruction.
