Letters from W. H. Newell, Secretary, Office of National Education, [Dublin] to Lord Emly, Tervoe. Lord Emly’s letter of 3 September (now not present) containing suggestions for the future conduct of the Mungret Model Agricultural School and Farm has been discussed at a board meeting. They regret that they cannot adopt the proposal to limit the agricultural instruction to eight hours weekly and to provide instruction in Latin, as the chief object of the school is to provide agricultural instruction. The board are equally unable to adopt the proposal to reserve only five acres of the farm and to let the remainder to tenants. The Commissioners instruct the trustees to remit any balance on hands after the payment of rates on the interest on £1,000, which will be used for the purchase of books, implements and other requisites for the school and farm. Also Lord Emly’s draft reply, expressing the opinion that the results of the present system of agricultural instruction are scandalously bad, and if the system is not to be subverted then the school should be suppressed. He adds that the trustees have no power over the institution, but this fact is not known to the public, wherefore some of the discredit attaching to the current waste of resources falls on the trustees.
