PRELIMINARY CHAPTER. 1. A SUM of money is annually granted by Parliament for public Education in Great Britain. 2. This sum is administered by an establishment called the Education Department. 3. The head of the Education Department is the Lord President of the Council, assisted by a member of the Privy Council, who is called the Vice-President of the Committee on Education, and who acts under the direction of the Lord President, and for him in his absence (Order in Council, 25 February 1856, Act 19 & 20 Vict. c. 116). 4. The object of the grant is to promote the education of children belonging to the classes who support themselves by manual labour. 5. The means consist in aiding voluntary local exertion, under certain conditions, to establish or maintain schools, which are either: (a.) For the instruction of children (elementary); or (b.) For training schoolmasters and schoolmistresses (normal). 6. In elementary schools, the children attend from the homes of their parents, and charge is taken of them during the school-hours only. 7. In normal schools, entire charge is taken of the students. 8. Every school assisted from the grant must be either: ; or (a.) A school in connexion with some recognized religious denomination from the authorized version. 9. Aid to establish schools is given by grants towards the cost of building, enlarging, improving, or fitting up, elementary school-rooms and dwellings for elementary teachers. Aid is not given to establish normal schools. 10. Aid to maintain schools is given by grants to the Managers conditional upon the attendance and proficiency of the scholars, the qualifications of the teachers, and the state of the schools. 11. The aid given to maintain schools is known as "Annual Grants," being annually payable, at a fixed time, to each school allowed to receive them. 12. No grants are made to schools which are not open to inspection by inspectors appointed by Her Majesty in Council on the representation of the Committee of Council on Education. 18. The Committee of Council consults the religious or educational bodies which are mentioned in Article 30 before making representations to Her Majesty for the appointment of inspectors to visit schools in connexion with those several bodies. 14. The inspectors do not interfere with the religious instruction, discipline, or management of schools, but are employed to verify the fulfilment of the conditions on which grants are made, to collect information, and to report the results to the Committee of Council. 15. No annual grant is paid, except on a report from the inspector, after a periodical visit, showing that the conditions of the grant have been fulfilled. 16. The Committee of Council, at the time of agreeing to make annual grants to a school, informs the managers in what month to look for the inspector's annual visit. The inspector gives notice of the day of his visit beforehand to the managers. A 3 |
