Excerpt from Notes on the Relief to Be Expected From Lord Sandon's Education Bill to Voluntary Schools for the Poorest ChildrenThus the Code, which is the work Of the Education Depart ment, increases the stringency of the Act.But further, Art. 32 (a) 2 Of the Code, above recited, contains a restriction which inflicts greater injustice upon poor schools than even the restriction in the Act of 1870.Schools are required by this subsection not only to provide a sum equal to the grant earned, but actually to expend twice the amount of the grant to be received, before they can know what it will be. Thus, if a school earns 100 and has only spent 180 during the previous school year, £10 is deducted from the grant. The managers would be able to employ usefully the whole Of the grant earned during the next year, into the accounts of which it actually passes but they are not allowed to receive it because they have not ventured to spend twice the amount the previous year.It should be noted that under the New Code the grants are rendered much more precarious than ever they were before. The self-willed absence of a single scholar may, by destroying the estimated proportion Of the number of scholars in the higher i standards, or by reducing the proportion Of passes in the class examination below 50 per cent., deprive the school Of a lump sum equal to 13th, or even ilth Of its grant, and yet the' managers are to run the risk of spending in advance twice the amount expected to be earned.It Iwill thus be seen that the restriction Of Art. 32 (a) 2, which forms no part Of the Act Of 1870, and which is simply the work Of the Department, is much more injurious to poor schools than the clause of the Act Of 1870, towards the mitigation of which sec. 13 Of Lord Sandon's Act is directed.Art. 32 (a)? Clearly contains within it the restriction Of clause 97 of the Act of 1870, and this, as well as Art. 32 (a) 1, would Of course have to be modified if sec. 13 Of Lord Sandon's Act should be passed.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
