SCHOOLGIRL’S ESSAY
DISCUSSION IN COMMONS. [BY CABLY-—PBEBB A6BN. —COPYEIGHT.) (Recd. August 3, 11 a.m.) LONDON, August 2. Maud Mason left the Commons after hearing most of the debate on her essay, when Mr. Morgan-Jones, who is an ex-teacher wondered how much regard was being shown for the child’s mental well-being, in such notoriety. The matter was raised on Mr. Gerald Hurst’s motion for the summer adjournment and. resolved itself into a difference of opinion concerning the circumstances under which an inspecttor had commented on the teaching of “old fashioned Imperialism,” or whether he told the child that she should not say England was the finest country in the world. Mr. Stanley agreed that .ridicule of a child’s spontaneous love for its country was a thing most to be condemned. The inspector had denied speaking to the girl. He merely spoke casually to a teacher, as the class was filing out after dismissal.
Mr. Stanley added: I’ve accepted the expression of regret, and told the inspector he was ill-advised to enter such a discussion with a teacher.
