Major Lloydasked the President of the Board of Education whether he will give priority to talks and lantern or film lectures on the British Empire in the schools over similar talks on foreign countries?
§ Mr. EdeThe Board are endeavouring, by courses for teachers and otherwise, to provide information and to promote interest in the British Commonwealth. A large number of lectures and film displays on the Empire are given to school children under the auspices of the Imperial Institute. I am sending my hon. and gallant Friend copies of two memoranda which will show him the wide range of printed material on the Empire which has recently been made available to the schools by arrangement with the Ministry of Information.
