EDUCATIONAL ENDOWMENTS 285 
eleven clauses and a schedule, having the object of 
“rendering educational endowments as serviceable 
as possible for the educational purposes of the time.” 
The Board alone was to have full and exclusive 
power to make schemes, subject to a prescribed 
procedure and to the consent of the governing 
body being obtained in the case of endowments 
founded within thirty years. Schemes for endow- 
ments of an annual value of more than [50 were 
to be provisional and require confirmation by 
Parliament if petitioned against. In making schemes 
the Board was ‘‘ to have regard primarily to the 
educational advantages to be derived from the 
scheme.” A schedule to the Bill repealed Section 13 
of the Act of 1902. The design of this part of the 
Bill was to make an entirely fresh start with a new 
jurisdiction over educational endowments, unfettered 
‘except as regards voluntary school buildings) by 
the rules or practice or ¢y prés doctrine of the Court 
of Chancery, or by the Charitable Trusts and 
Endowed Schools Acts, and subject to no control 
except that of Parliament. It also embodied the 
principle that the application of endowments should 
be governed by regard to the educational advantage 
obtainable from it, and that any regard paid to 
claims of particular classes or areas or denominations 
ander the trusts should be subordinate to the 
primary object of extracting from the endowment 
the maximum educational advantage. This part 
of the Bill (except certain provisions relating to 
voluntary school buildings) was dropped before it 
went into Committee.
