t fully met the wants of the tradesmen and others
just above the class receiving weekly wages,
while the school has attracted to Wimbonie
persons of small means having boys to educate
by the moderation of its fees and the useful
education imparted. It is now proposed to
make the school government more representa-
tive and a leading question was whether the
Board of Guardians or the parish vestry should
nominate some of the governors. The Guardians
are really a select vestry, and there does not
seem to be much to choose between the general
body of the ratepayers and the persons they
have elected as Guardians; but, perhaps, on the
whole, there will be more complete representa
don by appealing directly to the parishioners in
vestry. There was souse difference of opinion
on the point whether the school should hence-
forth be one of first or of second grade, the posi-
tion of the witnesses seeming largely to bias
their views on the subject. Ilroly speaking,
the professional inert and the poorer gentry
favoured making the school of higher grade,
while tradesmen, clerks, and so forth pleaded
for its retention as ono of first grade. Our
sympathies go with the latter class. For the
clergy and gentry there are Sherbonie. Win-
chester, and Eton schools, but for tradesmen
and the higher class of artisans there is nothing
but the National school or adventure schools
with high fees and no guarantee for good educa-
tion. The middle class, and especially the
lower middle class, in most towns have the
greatest difficulty in educating their children.
To the National school they cannot send them,
and unless there be a well-conducted Grammar
School they are dependent on private academies
which do not as a rule adopt the best methods
of instruction, and are chiefly distinguished for

FLOOD-The heavy rains of Wednesday and Thursday
caused the flooding of the hiwslying lands through which
flows the river Fronts, and a very large quantity of hay
was carries' away by the swollen stream between Wynford
Eagle and Dorchester rapidly taking its course to the sea.
Beyond this destruction of hay, the temporary flooding of
roads has been the only inconvenience. But in parts of
Somerset we hear of corn fields being several feet deep in
water, in addition to the carrying away of tons upon tons
of hay. The wet weather has become very serious, and
the advance of wheat by Ss. a quarter within a month, and
the recent Increase of Id. in the price of the 411,. loaf, show
that all classes are suffering by it.
