BTOURBRIDOR SCHOOL DISTRICT.
To the Editor of the, " Obserrer."

ark—The Education Department, in pursuance of the
Elementary Education Act, 1870, have at length an-
nounced their decision respeoting the school accommoda-
tion in the school district of Stourbridge. In a notice
just published they state that there is accommodation in
(I) existing "schools situate in the district " for 1763
children, and (2) a" school without the district but avail-
-8140 for ii" (Red-hill lichool) for 35—in all for 1398
children; and that accommodation is required for 102

Mow is this deficiency to be supplied? The Act pro-
vide@ two methods—one permissive, the other compel.
lot!; but by one method or other, or both, the required
accommodation must be provided. Private benevolence
may supply the deficiency; and the Department will,
when issuing their final entice, about the end of this
mouth, fix a period not exceeding six months from the
date of said notice, within which such action may he
taken. If, however, the task is not undertaken by pri-
vate benevolence, then, at the expiration of the prescribed
period, a precept will be Mined for the formation of a
dabool Board for the township of Stourbridge.
Considering what has already been done in the district
tor popular education by voluntary effort, it would be un-
reasonable to expect pnvate beneficence to meet this new
demand, and especially when it is known that accommo•
dation will be required for over 300 instead of 100 chil-
dren • the Wesleyan School, Veil is capable of secoui-
asodting 209, being now closed. And even if philan-
thropic persons were willing to provide all the additional
accommodation required, I should not advise them to do
so. The schools we have are not nearly full. To merely
increase their number would be a foolish expenditure of
money, unless we can also obtain power to enforce the
attendance of non-school-going children. In order to
gain that power, and also to promote a suitable school for
the wsifa and strays of our population, a School Board
for the school district of Stourbridge is indispensable.
The question that now awaits solution i the grave one
—what sort of School Board shall we elect?

I am, sc.,
ECONOMIST.

P.8.--Is • former letter which appeared in your
wilitana I estimated the deficiency of accommodation in
the towmalup for Stourbridge children at 128. If, to the
deloissey of 102 declared by the Department, we add
the 1116 for whom they find accommodation In an adjoin•
ing district, it will be seen that our estimates differ to the
*nest if only mint.
