A deputation was received from the Scottish Association for the Promotion of Technical and Secondary Education (pp. 16-20). Their main objection was to the proposal to calculate grants upon attendance at Science and Art schools and classes. They also commented on the rules laid down in the Science and Art Directory for that year concerning the admission of students to advanced classes, attendance registers, the length of classes and the honours examination in science. They recommend that the supervision of science and art teaching in Scotland should be vested in the Scottish Education Department and any grants made for such teaching should be made through that department.
A memorandum on navigation schools was submitted by the Committee of the Leith Navigation School (pp. 30-33). They criticised the examination scheme and the capitation grants which were awarded by the Science and Art Department on condition that a proportional contribution was made to the school by the locality. They claimed there was very poor provision for nautical education in the United Kingdom. They recommended that examinations should be set once rather than three times a year, navigation schools should be regarded as a special type of Organised Science School, and they should be allowed to draw up their own timetables each year and send them to the Department for approval.
A letter was also received from the Glasgow School of Art protesting against the new system of attendance grants (pp. 34-39). The existing grants were based on works sent to South Kensington for payments and prizes and on examination passes. If the new system were applied, their grant would be considerably reduced.
