Mr. CROPPER remarked, that it Nvp desirable that
any suggestion made by the Lunacy Commission in their
report, should be carried out by the vestry. He believed
the cost of doing so would only involve an outlay of a
few pounds.
Mr. DENTON thought, however, that it would take
more than a few pounds to carry out those suggestions.
The proceedings of the Industrial Schools Committee
having been read,
Mr. BAte...sv* in moving their confirmation, said
that it had been remarked that the schools at
present had but a poor attendance of children. He
belieted that the reason of this falling off in the
number Of Children attending the suhdol, should be
partly attributed to the tad that their parents were
leaving the hotiSei and taking, their children With them.
HesUggested that if it Were the pleasure df the Work-
house Committee; it would lie desirable to hate the
children of the pont who receive oilt,doot relief admit-
tedito the stiliddl.
Mr.. Lvii remarked; that at the opening of the
schools this prindiple, as suggested by the previous
speaker, had been adopted by the vestry, and Was found
to give rise to considerable abused..
Mr. CaotiEn said he Was obliged to rise to move a
resolution for the cdnsideration df the board, with
resppci to the adinissidii Of Children having parents
receiving parochial relief to. the Inthistrial School i—
t.. Notice to rescind all resellutions of the bard which
limit admission to the Indlistrial schools to appear, or
to such children as have parents in the workhouse, the
object being to open the schools to the admission of
children who have parents in receipt of parochial relief."
He gave that notice of motion for the next meeting
of the vestry, and he also stated that if these children
were admitted into the schools he would move that the
parochial relief of the parents be stopped. At the next
Meeting he would give his reasons more fully for taking
this course.
Mr. DENTON said before that motion was submitted
to the meeting, he would wish to have a legal opinion
On the subject,' Whether they could adopt such a princi.;
plei as the question embraced a very comprehensive
scale:

Yv Mr. ',CltotTErt said he merely gave notice of the mo-
tion, aiid it could be dis Cussed in all its bearings 'at the
nett Meeting. -

Mr. CROPPER amid much laughter; replied that be
had spoken to dr. Whiteman last week and received the
usual answer from him.
