Excerpt from Report of the Imperial Education Conference, 1911 The president OF the board OF edu cation (the Right Hon. Walter Runciman, who was accompanied by Mr. C. P. Trevelyan, m.p., Parliamentary Secretary to the Board of Education, said: Gentlemen, I wish, in the first place, to extend to you, on behalf of His Majesty's Government, a very warm welcome to London, and to the premises in which you are now accommodated. When last most Of you, or a large number of you, were assembled in London for the purpose Of discussing Imperial Educational Affairs, the Conference was convened by the' League Of the Empire, which has done admirable work at home and abroad, but it was naturally felt that an assembly Of great Officials from the Dominions and the Crown Colonies, and from India, and from the United King dom, should be summoned in future by the Imperial Government. During the last four years arrangements have been maturing for the gathering which we now have here to-day, and I. Think we may say that Of the Imperial Conferences which are now' about to assemble, this Conference is by no means the least important.
