and Westminster, were represented, and on the motion of Councillor
Gridley, one of this Council's representatives, the following resolution
was passed, viz.:—
"That it is desirable that the provided schools in each of the Metro"
politan Boroughs should be placed under one body of managers appointed
" in accordance with the Education (London) Act, 1903.''
The County Council having considered the matter, was of opinion
that, as a general rule, provided schools should be arranged for the
purpose of the appointment of managers in groups, each comprising
not more than four schools. A circular to this effect was sent by the
County Council to each Borough Council, and in October last, the
County Council stated that an examination of the replies received
showed that most of the Borough Councils were in general agreement
with the opinion of the County Council, and that, after paying due
regard to all the expressions of opinion, the County Council had come
to the conclusion that it was desirable that, subject to the necessary
adjustments in certain cases, the groups of provided schools should
not comprise m.ore than four schools in a group ; that the groups
should be so formed that all schools in. one group should be within
the limits of one County Electoral area ; that (or a group of four or
three schools there should not be more than 18 managers, and for a
group of two schools or one school not more than 12 managers.
Upon further consideration of the subject, this Council in November
last agreed with the suggestions of the London County Council, and
decided that the Schools in this Borough be grouped as follows :—
