Description

THE LONDON SCHOOL BOARD IN SESSION.

By far the most important elected authority dealing with education in the Empire is the London School Board Elected by the ratepayers of the vast metropolis, it is charged with the administration of a budget which has now reached an annual figure of £3,500,000. The 464 schools which it controls are attended by 527,400 children. In the present picture the Marquis of Londonderry, formerly Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, is presiding. It cannot be denied that the London School Board has been a great success, and has contributed enormously to the educational advancement of London. Like other great institutions, it is happiest when it has no history, and it is only on the rare occasions when it has abandoned itself to sectarian controversy that it has lost for a time the confidence and sympathy of those who elect it.
