Public Schools [1]
16 JUNE, 1868
PD, 3rd ser., Vol. 192, cols. 1650, 1655. Reported in The Times, 17 June, p. 9, from which the responses are taken. Mill spoke in Committee on the recommitted “Bill [as Amended in Committee and by the Select Committee] to Make Further Provision for the Good Government and Extension of Certain Public Schools in England,” 31 Victoria (22 May, 1868), PP, 1867–68, IV, 317–36. His first intervention concerned Clause 2, which, interalia, defined “school” as including, “in the Case of Eton and Winchester, Eton College and Winchester College.” On 31 March, Mill had written to Chadwick to say that, though he could not write or open a debate on the issue, he would probably speak on it (CW, Vol. XVI, p. 1381). mr. j. stuart mill said, he understood that the Fellows of Eton College had very little to do with the school, except to usurp to themselves the greater portion of the endowments. (Hear, hear.) He thought that the Head master rather than the Provost should be the head of the governing body. (Loud cheers.)
[The Clause was accepted.]
[To Clause 3, which defined the existing “Governing Body,” with particular mention of various public schools, Henry Du Pré Labouchere (1831–1912) had moved (col. 1654) to include the Head Masters in such bodies.]
Mr. J. Stuart Mill hoped the right honourable Gentleman who had charge of the Bill would take into serious consideration the Amendment of his honourable Friend the Member for Middlesex (Mr. Labouchere). The object which they all had in view was to improve the schools. The Provost and Head master had the most to do in the management of the schools, and as the good government of those institutions was what should be steadily aimed at, that object could not be better promoted than by including the Provost and Head master in the governing body.
[Labouchere withdrew his amendment after assurance that the matter would be attended to.]
