As early as 1885 the Federation had declared in favour of Free Education and, when in 1891 the Tory Government brought forward their assisted Education Bill which recognised this prin- ciple, a special meeting of the General Committee was held in London to consider the Bill. The resolution passed after a full discussion was "that this Committee expresses its satisfaction that the principle of Free Education, which the Liberal Party has so long advocated, is recognised in the Bill now before Par...liament, but regrets (a) That the proposed privilege is limited to chil- dren between the ages of five and fourteen : (b) That while the additional sum of 2, 000, 000 per annum has been granted for educational purposes no attempt is made to increase the general efficiency of our National education : (c) That there is no guarantee that, where in de- nominational schools the grant exceeds the amount of the existing fees, the surplus will not be applied merely to the relief of the subscribers instead of towards the improve- ment of the education given : (cT) That there is no attempt to redress the many grievances from which, especially in country districts, Noncomformists and others suffer, and which arise from the practical monopoly in education which, in such districts, one religious body possesses, and (i) That the Bill entirely avoids any recognition of the principle of popular local control.
