§ Mr. HEPW0RTHasked the President of the Board of Education whether his attention has been called to the growing seriousness of juvenile crime; and whether he will consider if the system of education in this country can be modified so as to produce more beneficial results than at present on character and training?
Mr. STANLEYI am fully alive to the seriousness of the problem of juvenile crime. I can assure my hon. Friend that the great importance of moral training is fully appreciated by the board, the local education authorities and the teaching profession, and the methods of such training are continually under review.
