IVE (LISKEARD) NATIONAL SCHOOL and the COMMITTEE of COUNCIL ON EDUCATION (in continuation of Parliamentary Paper, No. 386, of Session 1863)." Rev. R. Hobhouse to the Secretary of the Committee of Council on Education. Sir, I AM desirous of reverting, for the purpose of clearing up one point, to the correspondence which took place between you and myself in the spring of the year, respecting the salary, &c., of the master of this school; the last letter of which is dated by you the 25th of April. St. Ive Rectory, Liskeard, 11 November 1863. That correspondence has since been printed by Order of the House of Commons. In some discussions which took place previously to its being printed, it became apparent that the managers of this school were supposed to have held that, in case of the Government grant not amounting to the sum heretofore due to the master upon his certificate, the deficiency in such amount should be made good by the Committee of Council. We have not, however, ever held that the Committee of Council should make good any deficiency to the master; (except it was his gratuity for instructing the pupil teacher). We acknowledge ourselves liable to make up to him his "due payment," if his salary and his lien do not make it up. What we have held is, that, after the master's "first charge" (Art 51 b) has been satisfied out of the Government grant, the pupil teacher's "second charge (Art 54) should next be met; and that if the grant should be insufficient to meet the second after satisfying (or being absorbed by) the first, then the deficiency in the second should be made up to the pupil teacher, and to the master for instructing him (5.), by the Committee of Council (Art 54). It is true, however, that in our agreement* with the Master (a copy of which I sent you on the 21st of March last), we did not provide for the event of the Government grant falling short of the amount of his certificate money, and being therefore insufficient to meet the "first charge." Our not doing so was an oversight, which, since it became apparent, we have remedied by a supplementary agreement. A copy of this, as you desired to see the original agreement, I beg leave now to enclose. The Secretary to the Committee of Council on Education, &c., &c., &c. I am, &c. (signed) Regd Hobhouse. Enclosure in No. 11. Copy of Supplementary Memorandum. WHEREAS in the agreement made between us, the undersigned, on the seventh day of March last past, the contingency was not provided for of the Government grant to St. Ive School falling short of the sum of 21 l. 10s. Therefore, I, Reginald Hobhouse, do now hereby * Printed at page 3 of previous Return. |
