COLONEL'S INSPECTION OF TIIE 5111.1LILV.

This corps mustered remarkably vrell on Woltiesday
evening for the colonel's inspection considering the torrents
of water that bad been and were pouring down, as if the
rain meant to vindicate the title of " Volunteers weather."
They met at the Drill Hall, called by the inspiring notes
of Bugler W. It. P. Jeffery, about the principal xign of life
in the town to-day. There were present- Captain Arden,
Lieut. Gason, Lieut. Timed, Hon. Assistant Surgeon
Quarterteaster-Serge Lee, Sergt. C. Jeffery, and
3'4 rank and file.
The Colonel um amonfimnied by Captain and Adjutant
Mount Batten, who put the corps through the usual
exercises. including the bayonet practice. After nearly
two hours' stiff drill,
Colonel MANSEI. saffi he wished to express to them the
deep gratification he bad had this afternoon in seeing such
a fine corp., and what he had witneesed of their drill made
him regret exceedingly that they Mel bail such a wet
afternom, so that he could not see them out-of-doors. He
watt sure that if they had been able to meet on•ofeloors,
they would have had a need eatisfactery and pleasant
drill, Ile had seen a conipany who Ise WWI certain
did not require special education in a particular new
drill ; but he was confident that when they went into
camp and were exerciaed in that drill, they would carry
out the orders, and assist their officers in the way No. 5
always had. After 15 years with them, they knew he
would not say a single word he could not repeat frod
his heart, and he felt great pleasure in expressing
themu feeling. on that particuLar point. While
remembered the great difiiculties they had Mut, and ye.
the way in which they had come to the front, he felt
highly gratified in observing that they threw their whole
heart and soul into their work. As to the 'bayonet drill,
the men with the limbic's did it most admirably; he
could not lay quite no much for the haul; but he
was sure that when the band goes into camp, they
would be equal to their comrades. He was very
particular about this bayonet drill; it was a mmt
important part the soldier had to learn; but they needed
only to be shown 011 CO or twice by their excellent in-
structor. who had stone his duty to them; and they had
done their duty to him, to their officers, and themselves.
The bayonet exorable was taught to enable them to defend
themselves in case of being attacked by the enemy, lie
had lately come from • foreign country where they were
sumeased to have the finest solstices and the finest
exercises, and one point lie noticed in the exercise mu
that they were tatuht to attack each other, having dummy
bayonets to learn with. The higher educated they were in
the bayonet exercise, the better soldiers they would make.

beratl,O he thought it was making education higher
than was adapted to the requirements of Vim'
borne. Boys should be continued at sehool according to
the profession for which they were intended. Greek was
of no use to a boy leaving school at lit; he should not care
for his son learning it if he were going into the army; he
should prefer his having increased knowledge of
mathematics and natural science. Ho could not say when
• parent should make up his mind at what time • boy s
education should terminate. Public schools should be so
classified as to fir:retro for the Universities for a fixed pur
Pose. He did not wish to degrade the school ; but he dhl
not think a school, where a boy of the age of 13 was to be
retained in the first clasp, moult lie considered of the first
grade. He mentioned the rase of his son, and said he

there might be so high and as sound an education as in •

In favour of the school being inaintained as a day and
boarding school. No boy shnuld be permitted to remain
in the school after attaining the age of seventeen. He
thought there should be an extra fee for Greek, as It cost
more to the school As regarded the extension of the
benefits of the endowment to girls he thought it con-
venient, as the governors had proposed it.
The COMMISSIONER said the governors had made the
proposition in order to niake terms
Witness thought, however, it should be left in the hands
of the governors. lie saw no inconvenience likely to
arise from so doing. Ile was generally in favour of ex-
tending education to girls by endowments.
The Courtestosga said he hail two question., handed
him to put to witness. The first was—is it your opinion
that the only persons requiring a university educatian are
clergymen? No. Dill you ever go there, if so, from what
school? Yea, when I left the army; but from no school
The COMMISSIONER read a letter from the Rev. 11. Pia,
stating the ages of several boys in the school ; adding, that
since IMO no boy hail gone to the university.
Mr. Yawns THOMAS relieving officer of the parish,
would Lave the representatives chosen by the guardians in
preference to the vestry, inasmuch as all the church
governors would select from themselves Ile objected to
one of the governing body being nominated by the Bishop
of Salisbury, seeing that under the governors scheme the
school was entirely unnectarian.
Mr. Bettie said the conscience clause affected this
school as well as others. He was prepared to accept the
fees fixed at from six to fifteen guineas.
Mr. PERRIN/ thought all chases were interested in the
schools, and many working men were directly interested
in such a matter as this. The meetings of the guardians
were not open, and the openness was in favour of the
vestry. Ile thought the fees should be within the reach
of the inhabitants of the town—the minimum should be
fixed at five guineas awl the maximum ten guineas. He
was in favour of extending the endowment to girls.
Captain Montt of Longham, di I not approve of
election by vestry, but preferred the Board of Quantifies.
Tie thought there should be a graduated seal° of fees
according to classes. Vocal music should be charged
extra. Hs thought drilling ought to be taught. lie
thought extending the benefits of the endowment to girls
was not convenient, and objected to it.
Mr. figoiten WILSON. an ex-pupil of the school, and
now as journalist, proposed that the nuniber of governors
Thread be eleven. Ile objected to the Bishop of Salisbury
having the right of nomination, as lie did net believe that
there should lye any sectarian education. He also objected
to the Justices of the Peace having nomination, as he
lookol upon them as being a merely nominal body, and
be looked forward to the time when they would Ise swept
away. He did not think the labouring classes hail at
present an interest in the school; although lie hoped to
see the day when, by the operation of a school board, they
would he thoroughly taught the elementary rudiments, to
entitle them to administer to the grammar school with
the advantage of scholarships, thence exhibitions to the
University, where they. would be able to compete for the
first prizes in the cavil service. The governors had
received Elefel which ought to have been deissted to the
establishment of those scholarships. Under any Case the
fees should not lie more than ten guineas, awl the
minimum six guineas. He proposed one guinea extra
',humid be charged for music and drawing, and three
guineas for Greek, as he considered that an extra, lie
drew lip a memorial to the late Endowed School Commis-
sioners, and still adhered to it, that it should be extended
to girls where it could be done without injury to the
Aeration of the hops. He drew the attention of the

there were nine endowed grammar who'd.% having an
income of elltal, which provided arcononodation for 40,1
boys, whereas there WAA n., provision made for girls,
excepting at Mildown, near Mandford ; the only one in
the locality WAA at Southampt in; and he knew of cases of
girls leaving the town for the purpo.,e t.f educating them-
selves to compete fir the Oxford and Cambridge local
examinations. Ile drew attention to the fact that nearly
all the letters sideilitted yesterday were from the upper
middle claes and that not a single working man had come
before the eomniissioner to tender evidence, which he
attributed to • fear of meeting the governors, and the
appearance if eminsel—there was • mysterious and subtle
connection between a wig and gown and the gallon A—
(l3tlght,r).
Mr. Minesvr, of Ringwood, said he haul a son whom lie
wished to send to the school. He wns in favour of the
Board of Guardians having the privilege of nomination.
Ile WWI not in favour of extending the endowment to
girls because there were no funds.
Mr. F 11. TANNER said he slid not think a contested
election could be carried suit for less than £l2 or LI 1. It
repeatelly occurred that when Guardians were nominatot
gentlemen retired In order to save expense. The parishes
in the union were thus fully represented, the election
being carried out at the suggestion of the vestry. There
Is no regular vestry clerk, awl he hail seen hot feeling
exhibited, equal to any contested election in a small
borough.

character he thoroughly endorsed the ssheine of the

of sending his son. There were four boys from Poole DOW
n the sshool. His experience of the vestries during the
ipast 30 years was that they gave rise to the most bitter
feelings, even to threats of violence ; and many gentlemen
came to • determination never to attend a Winoluorne
vestry again. He thought it would Ise most fatal to leave
an election of governors to that body—it would be deplor.

Mr. Secrete spoke in reference to Sherborne School,
and quoted from a prospectus to show that the fees, Ise,
there charged were far above those at Wimborne.
Mr. W. Damn' made explanations with reference to
certain parts of his preiriotu evidence, and the statements
of other witnesses. He was most decidedly opposed to
"popular cries" at elections by vestries. With reference
to • letter of the Rev, Lester-Lester's speaking of the
school as always being of the second grade, he read the
names of several pupils who had gained high honours at
Oxford, Woolwich. the Indian Civil Service exaniinations,

position of • first grade whoa With regard to the
exhibitions referred to by Mr. Wilson, there had been no

exhausted their means, and they were dropped on the

Mr. W. Diteurr, eliairinatt of the governors, said they
thought two-thirds f the property should go toward
supporting the church branch and onedhird to the educa-
tional !wench.
. . . . . .

As to the future Governing "IY the governors in their
revised scheme proposed there should be thirteen
governors for the school, six nominated by the (lurch
governors, one by the Bishop of the diocese, two by the
.
county members, two by the justices of the Wimborne
petty sessional division, and two by the guardians of the
Wimborne and Cranborue Union. The Endowed Sthoel
Commissioners proposed two of the governor should be
nominated by the vestry of Wituborno Minster.
Mr. Dau,n objected to this, saying. as there are
elementary schools, the working classes have no direct
interest in the schools. As to fees be thought they sl let
vary from Bto 10 guinea& its would have Greek taught
but not tnake it compulsory. They had not money to
extend the foundation to girls,
General NIACLEAN would have the vestry elect governors
instead of the guardians. On the other points he agreed
with Mr. Druitt.
_

The Rev. W. E HARRIS, hend-manter of the school, said
39 were learning Greek, of which 224 or 29 were day boys.
All the boys were taught Latin and Greek. He would
teach Greek to boys from 13, and in the higher forum
should like to teach Gamlen and physical science.
The Rev. 11. Pig, second master, said only three boys
learnt Greek till lately; 12 were now taught, as it was
Pre.sed by the head-master. Admitted be was not on good
terms with Mr. Harris.
The Rev. M. Gibbons (of Handley), the Rev. D. Dames'
(of Canford), and Mr. 11. Brinnirker, J.l'. were in favour
of its being a first grade school, but that Greek should be
optional.
On Wednesday the enquiry was resumed.
Colonel Passer agreed AA to the school being one of first
grade, and the Hon. and Rev. C. G. Dot% us, of Shapvrielc,
concurred in that view.

Mr. T. E. Bunise..v.-pre— ferred election of some governors
by the vestry rather than by the guardians. As to the
tuition fees Mr. Redden said that the maximum fee of
ten guineas was reasonable for the general course of
instruction in the school, but 113 thought that would shut

wished it., and that • better knowledge of English and
French should le giveu instead. It would depend en-
tirely on circumstances whether a parent wished his child
to be excused Greek, that is to say that a boy who left
school at 16 and was intended for commercial pursuits
should he so excused. The fees were such now as small
farmers and trademsen could send their children to the
Gnu ar School ; but if they were raised to gip they could
not send them. Parties who had a larger income could
choose their own schools, Ile slue would like to see not
only a First Grade sched, but • emend and third grade,
and lie thought that ought to and could he done with the
I Wimborne Grasumar School, thaugh not perh ape at present.
Ile wished also to say the inhabitant. of Wimborne lirel
had no choice except the Gra 11111 l er School awl the
National School, in the former of which classies was the
principal branch taught. Ile would have liked his boys,
who were going into business, to have a better general
education. Ile was of opinion it was well where it was
convenient, by whirls he meant practicable, to extend the ,
endoxpient to the education of girls. At present be did
not see that much money was available for the purpose,
of educating girls. but eupposing the income we,, available
he would snake it compulsory a certain Rom should be set
aside. He was in favour when the pensions to the
retiring mesters fell in £lllO a-year should be set apart for
the education of girls. A great deal bad been said
of the degradation of the school, hut he wished to
paint out that Mr. Stanton, one of the Inquiry
Conmaluioners, who visited the Witiaborne School
in Peg, hell reported it as a "second grade school"
and upon that he wished to say that neither of the
schemes would degrade the school, as it had already teen
degraded. sand he might all that Ml. Stanton came here
within a year or two ago, when the school sea, in a more
nourishing condition than Ise routsl remesolier its being
before. Ile visited Wimlorne in Par:, when the needier
of scholars was 165, the largest number. Ile thought that
na they had a high class ;wheel at Winchester, and also at
Sherborne, they would, by having a nasslern school at
IWitnlsirne, have more boys here than the Places
mentioned, because the education would be more suited to
the general purposes of rnt 1111 l env and business.
Mr. THOMAS I.AIND, Laing's Hotel, was ID favour of
nomination by the Boanl of Guardians and the vestry. All
classes were internal...l in the school. Ile hoped to see
the (tea proposed toy the Governnore reduces!.
Mr. WHITE SMITH, in partnership with Mr. Druitt,
thought the last scheme ass fair as any that ...sub Ise
euggeetel. The fees should be left to the Governer ; and
the tuition he slid not see could be better than now. Diil
not agree to extend the endowment to girls.
Mr. TH03114 WILLIAM Secrets was incline" to the
scheme of the Governors. Winshorne was represented by
every class except the labouring class, and these were
pravisiesi fir in the Wimhorne Teem National School,
whirls was very nearly up to the mark of the Burton-on-
Trent iksiotesl by Mr. Midden ; but it ineludel neither
Latin, French, or other languages, lie slid not think those
subjects were necessary for a lalouring nian's child. The
las...tiring class had to a certain extent an interest in the
who'll, in the ease, for instance., of a boy who showed
marked intelligence. Ile wished to extend the area of
choice by the Board of Guardian,, The elected governor
had • majority over the coesptative member, An to the
fees he thought they should take powers to fix them at
from six to fifteen guineas, but that prartically, he believel
they would be able to work the school at ten guinea*. Ile
thought the head money should be fixed high enough to
enable them to provide exhibitions for the selsolars. As to
the subjects to ho taught, he went with the scheme; and
thought Greek should he one of them.
The CoMMISSIONER : How do you represent the Sal-
cultural interest? By being a farmer.
Mr. BULLEN: You have, Sir, a favourable specimen of
the Donset farmer. I am very proud of it. The learned
rnunsel handed ill • statement of the Cranhorne and
Wimborne Union.
Mr. WRLD TAYLOR was called, anti a paper wee handed
in in which Mr. Taylor stated he wax against the drawing
master taking adaitional fees from the Ins-c: he mal
against any man sending bills to the parents for the
children's education, beyond what Is must ; he was against
raising the fees to ,ClO as an imperative sum, as it would
exclude the poor. Latin and Greek should be optional.
Was in favour of • girls' wheal, and also in favour of an
elective, not corporate body, "no self elected hotly," Mr.
Taylor added. "can be popular. It has been said that to
become a school governor, you must be a Freemason"—
(loud laughter).
The Rev. J. Kenn, minister of the Independent
chapel, Wimborne. approved of the first draft scheme of
the late Endowed Schools Commissioners, because it
gave an election of the governors to the vestry. He
thought the labouring class had an interest in the school,
but he dist not think that interest sufficiently represented
by the Board of Gitardians, lie would have no fixed
fees ; he preferred • sliding scale according to what they
learned; any boy who wished to learn tlreek should be
charged extra.
The COMMISSIONER read a memorial sent up in favour of
applying the endowment to the benefit of girl, and
witness thought it would be convenient if they bad the
funds.
Mr. C. 11. W. PARKINSON, a firmer pupil of the school,
thought the governing body should be thrown open, but
did not object to the proposed constitution of the body.
As regarded the election toy the vestry, he thought it
would give rise to great feeling. The labnuring class
were somewhat interested in the school, He was in rimier
of the proceedings of the governor being made mere puhlic
—he thought the reporters might he &hefted. The publi-
cation of the account, would meet his wish. He thought
the maximum fee might be bleated tithe advantageof the
school. lie thought it reasonable to excuse a boy Greek—
it might le made an altematia e extra subject. Did not
think a girls' public school would have scholars enough;
besides he thought it doubtful if there were funds enough.

The inquiry was resnmeti.
At the commencement of the proceedings the Commis-
sioner Ftated that ho had received certain anonymous
documents of which he could not take any notice. A letter
had also been received from Mr, J. E. Brine.
Mr. Bullets reviwed the evidence that he had been given
stating that his remarks would consist, to a certain
extent, of a criticism of the statements which had been
made against the governors, who as at present conetitued,
were eleven gentlemen of position in that town,representing
to the best of their ability the interests of the charity, a.
well as the interests and good of Winthorne. The co-
optative election seeme,l to have worked beneficially.
They had expended labour and time on the matter of the
charity, and sought no reward beyond that which all well
meaning people, and all people who worked for the well-
being of their fellows, received from them—namely, their
kind consideration and their thanks. As to attendance
of counsel, he said the object of the investigation WU to
elicit the facts and truth, irrespective of persons' position
and of personal feeling and it would have been impossible
for eleven gentlemen to have put the questions which he
on his discretion had put, or to make those observations
which he thought proper to address to the Coincusioner.

he wondered how any person engaged in business there

those subjects, and contended that the present and pros-
pective means at the disposal of the governors could not

of the different witnesses who were in opposition to the
'Acme, and he concluded by expressing his cenviction
that after the matter bail been duly cossidered the Com-
wiceinners would coincide with the views of the governors.
With the consent of the Assistant Commissioner,
General MrLgals replied to Mr. Bungles address, and Mr.
FEARON said he would receive in writing any other re-
marks from those witnesses whose evidence had been
criticised by the learned counsel.
The COMMISSIONER then expressed his sense of the g,od
order which had been maintained during the proceedings,
and thanked the officers of the charity for the assistance
they had given him, and also the Chief Constable of the
County for the help lie had given in maintaining order.
The inquiry then terminated.
