Excerpt from Education Grants: Memorandum and Tables Prepared for the Conference of Local Education Authorities on Education Grants, 11th December, 1908The adoption of the provisions of the Act was optional, but as soon as the Act came into force its provisions were adopted almost universally by the school managers. At August, 1893, only 132 schools, out of a total number of under inspection, had refused the grant. In 1907 the number refusing the grant had sunk to 73 departments.The Act of 1891 also provided that if at any time it was represented to the Education Depart ment that there was in any school district an insufficient amount of free school accommodation for children between the ages of 3 and 15, for whom such accommodation was desired, and the Department was satisfied, after inquiry, that such was the case, they could direct a school board to supply such free accommodation. In cases in which substantial fees had previously been charged (the maximum allowed being 9d. Per week, or about £1 10s. Per annum) and a considerable number of free places was requisitioned, this provision might entail considerable loss to the school managers, especially as the provisions of a number of free places would make it difficult to enforce the fees in respect of the remainder.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
