WOL VERLEY.

Tim GRAMMAR Scrroor..—A new scheme has been
issued for the administration of the Seabright Charity
at Wolverley. It provides that all the schools belonging
to the foundation shall be carried on as heretofore till
the end of the present school term, when Mr. W. Shutt,
the master of the Grammar Sch9ol, is to have a super-
annuation of £9O. The principal teachers may retain
their offices under the new scheme, but if not so dis•
posed the subject of compulsion will be considered by
the Charity Commissioners. There is, under the new
arrangement, to be a boys' grammar school at Wolverley,
and elementary schools at Wolverley and Cookley.
Exemption from attending prayer or religious instruc-
tion is provided for where the parents or guardian; of
children desire it. The head master of the Grammar
School must be a graduate of a British university, or
produce evidences of his qualifications satifactory to the
governors, and approved by the Charity Commissioners.

The fortnightly meeting was held on Blonday, when
Mr. E. T. Terry presided.
The Rev. Dr. Cosens said he thought the statement
abut one part of the resolution which he moved at the
last mee,Lig of the Board was satisfactory, as the pupil
teachers appeared to be rec Jiving the customary amount
of instruction at the time appointed for such-instruction.
He should like to name t,vo other points. One person,
whose son was a pupil teacher, told him that his opinion
was that the instruction was wrong, and often inadequate,
although it might be g:ven fur the time stated by the
articles. He (the speaker) thought that the system fur
inAruction should be more theoretical, and he thoaght
th it was very important for the teachers to beat in mind.
rile second point was that if there was a certain amount
of religious instruction given and without denominational
bias whatever, as to the knowledge possessed should
like to have the opinion of the hoard as to the
desirability of an inspection being made by a persou
outside the Board altogether. This was a subject
which was very prominently brought before th. w at this
time, and his notice had been salted to. it that day by
the report in the papers of the proceeding* of the Lon-
don School Board, which stated that the religious in-
structiou giveu at all the Board schools in London was
of such an important character that the examination of
the children bad recently taken place, and that three
thousand Bibles had been distributed to the children at
the Crystal Palace as prizes for those who proved them-
selves most efficient in the kuowledge of Bible history.
Sir Charlts Its. d the Chairman of the London School
Board, " stated that they were for giving a religious as
well as a secular education." He (the speaker) wished
to know the opinion of the Board as to the adviaability
of there being some inspection as to the knowledge of
the children in Biblical subjects. He would not express
his own opinion upon tut question, but should like
to have the opinion of the other members of the
Board.

Mr. Reynold said that before he gave his own opinion
he should like to know whom Dr. Co.ens would be
inclined to employ io examine the children in religious
instruction.

Dr. Cosens said he ought probably to clear the way by
stating there had been a great controversy as to whether
gentlemen who held the appointment of inspectors of
diocesan schools should limit their examinations to
mer,ly undenominational teaching. He held his own
opinion on the subject, and a very strong one it was,
and he should like to know the feeling of the Board
upon the advisabilility of adopting such a system.
Mr. Billing thought that the question should be left
over till the election of the new Board, which would take
place in less than three months.
Dr. Cosens remarked that the reason he bad brought
the question before them was that in the month of
October there was to be a meeting on the subject, when
the Education Board of .Worcestershire would discuss
the question about inspection or non-inspection of
Board schools; ant as he was a-member of the Dudley
Board—one of the largest in the county—he was,cer-
tain to be asked what was the opinion of the Dudley
Board.

The Chairman and Mr. Ruisell said that such an
examination as suggested would meet with their
approval.

THROAT IRRITATION.—The throat and windpipe tize
especially liable to inflammation, causing soreness and
dryness, tickling and irritation, inducing cough and af-
fecting the voice. For these symptoms use glycerine in
the form of jujubes. Glycerine, in these agreeable
confections, being in proximity to the glands at
the moment they are excited by the act of sucking,
becomes actively healing. 6d. and is. boxes (by post

Holloway's Ointment and Pills. Rheumatism or
Neuralgic Affections.—No disease are more frequent,
painful, or difficult to cure than these. From their at-
tack no tissue of the human body is exempt, no age, sex,
or calling secure. It is a blessing, however, to know
that all these sufferings may be completely and
expeditiously subdued by Holloway's remedies. The
Pills much assist in banishing the tendency to rheuma-
tism and similar painful disorders; whilst the Ointment
cures the local ailments, the Pills remove the constitu-
tional disturbance and regulate the impaired function of
every organ throughout the human body. The cure is
neither temporary nor superficial, but permanent and
complete, and the disease rarely lecurs, so perfect has
been the purification performed by these searcting pre
parations.

IS THERE ARE ANT LADIES who have not yet used the
OLE/MELD STARCH, they are respectfully solicited to
give it a Walt and carefully follow out the directions
printed on every package, and if this is done, they will
say, like the Queen's Laundreso, it is the finest Stsrch
they ever used. When you ask for GLENFIRLD STARCH
see that you get it, as inferior kinds are often substituted
or the sake of extra profit. Beware therefore of spur-
ns imitations.

A BALD HEAD may not inaptly be compared to a house
without a thatching. It is exposed to the cold, and is alto-
gether unsightly in aspect. Resort may be had to a wig,
a scalp, or an assemblage of foreign hairs intermingled
;with the scanty material of original growth still vouch-
safed to the bare caput; or but the effect is poor and the
disguise too apparent. Let those whose mirror assures
them of the approach of baldness or the stealthy march
of grey hairs assail the enemy in time. Let them
employ the infallible restorative known q.s Mrs. S. A.
