Mr. McKenna went on to explain how the transfer of

the Voluntary schools in the single-school parishes would be carried out when the trustees were willing. When they were unwilling they would be at liberty, if they so willed, to con- tinue the school, but exclusively out of their own resources. Where a school was taken over, the local education authority would execute the educational part of the trust governing the building by giving Cowper-Temple teaching on five days of the week. In as far as the trust was denominational, it might be carried out on the remaining two days of the week —that is, on Saturday and Sunday—and further facilities for denominational instruction would be given out of nbool- hours on the other five days by some one not a member of the regular teaching staff. The school buildings would be main- tained by the local authority. It might be a condition of transfer, not merely that Cowper-Temple instruction, but Cowper-Temple instruction of a special kind—that is, of the kind provided by the present London County Council— should be given in the echool. " Facilities " would only be allowed in single-school parishes.
