§ Sir C. CAYZERasked the President of the Board of Education whether, in view of the fact that certain local authorities did not adopt the Burnham scale, so far as it applied to their art teachers, he 604W approves the action of those local authorities who are now endeavouring to force such teachers to accept a voluntary reduction of 5 per cent, despite the fact that they received no increase of salary at all under the Burnham scale, and, in many instances, have had no advance for a long period of years?
§ Mr. TREVELYANThe question whether an individual art teacher falls within one of the categories to which the offer of abatement was applicable, can only be answered by reference to the facts of the particular case. A conciliation committee was appointed by the Burnham Committee to assist, where desired, in dealing with such questions.
