§ Mr. STANTONasked the President of the Board of Education if he will consider and recommend that art lessons in landscape, seascape, still life, and figure painting shall in future form part of the syllabus of all secondary schools, and that art masters, duly qualified, shall be appointed to teach the same, and thereby develop the love for and genius of art in our country?
§ Mr. FISHERThe subject of art instruction in secondary schools is engaging my attention. I think it has not yet been accorded the treatment it deserves, but I am not prepared to commit myself to the view that it should be developed on the lines suggested by the hon. Member.
