The National Schoolmaster. SUMMARY. T the meeting of the Executive Committee of the National Union, held on July 4th, Mr. Clarkson drew attention to the state of the membership, and pointed out that on the 30th June the number of members for whom subscriptions had been paid was nearly 900 less than at the corresponding period of last year. He said he was not prepared, as a member of the Executive, to have charge of the public duties imposed upon the Union, unless the members were prepared to give them the means by which they could be carried into effect. A discussion took place at this meeting on the question of Parliamentary representation. A resolution was passed "that the Parliamentary Election Committee have power to guarantee the election expenses-(1) out of the Voluntary Fund, and when that is exhausted. (2) out of the Reserve Fund and General Fund, in the order named- of the first candidate who is selected by a constituency, presenting a fair chance of success." It was next decided to present a memorial to the new Vice-President of the Council. Mr. Clarkson, with considerable force, urged the impolicy of continuing to make representations to the Education Department, and of hurrying the Vice-President for premature announcements of his policy, when it is plain that the Government can do nothing till after the November elections. But the general opinion seemed to be that the opportunity for presenting a memorial should not be thrown away, and Mr. Heller remarked "that if the views of the teachers were known the new Vice-President might realise the fact that the whole knowledge of what was practical in elementary education was not possessed by the permanent officials in the office." At the meeting of the Executive Committee of the National Union on July 17th, Mr. Sykes brought forward the question of the extraneous No. 177.-August, 1885. |
