WEST DERBY WORKHOUSE SCHOOLS.—Owing to the
kindness of the spirited proprietor, the children of the above
schools, yesterday, visited Gompertz's Panorama of the
war with Russia. It is needless to say that they were very
much delighted, and paid great attention to the lecture.
Their cleanly and healthy appearance reflects great credit on
the officers of the institution. We understand that the
teachers, Mr. Cutts, Miss 'llenney, and Miss Corns, have
just received very satisfactory testimonials of the state of
the schools from Mr. Brown, the government inspector.
Thisis extremely pleasing, because the guardians have
always considered the inspectors studied rather too high, in
reference to the attainments of the children in workhouse
schce!s.
