§ Mr. LOWTHasked the President of the Board of Education whether his attention has been called to the allega- 1398W tion of an inefficient standard of elementary education provided by the inconveniently-situated Platt Charity Schools, in the large parish of Aldenham, Harts, and to the consequent strong demand for a central elementary school under the management of the local education authority; and whether he will call for a report on the matter?
§ Lord E. PERCYI have received no representations upon this subject, but I will make inquiries. The provision of a new council school is, of course, a matter for the consideration of the local authority in the first instance.
