§ Mr. LYLEasked the President of the Board of Education whether, to allay the existing uncertainty in the minds of educationists, he can state whether the Board intends ultimately to adopt for all the schools under its supervision the Burnham scales of pay for teachers, or whether, in view of the anticipated substantial readjustment of money values, it proposes to reconsider the whole matter?
§ Mr. FISHERI hope shortly to be in a position to make a statement which will remove uncertainties as to the Board's attitude towards the recommendations of the Burnham Committee. But I have now to consider the matter mainly in relation to the present financial situation, and I should find it difficult to say what arrangements for the remuneration of teachers will be ultimately adopted.
