§ Mr. TREVELYANProposals for the provision of new schools and the extension of existing schools will receive my very sympathetic consideration, and I hope that I may receive from the local educa- 1033W tion authorities in the near future programmes of expansion the execution of which will substantially contribute to the removal of this defect in our public system of education.
