THE IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT.
THE VOLUNTARY SCHOOLS BILL. (iVr / V..« Axsnriotinn. —< i'jhl.) London, Feb. 2. Mr Balfour has announced that the Government intended to reduce the voluntary school rates by giving a grant of 5s pec child, entailing an expenditure of tGI-1.000 per annum. It was also proposed to relieve the elementary schools by bringing them up to the 17- fid limit per child. Mr Ackland, Vice-president of the Council in the last administration, criticised the proposals and complained that the grant did not extend to necessitous board schools. The debate was adjourned.
