NORTH SURREY INDUSTRIAL SCHOOL AT
ANERLEy.

The industrial school for the pauper children of the
parish of St. Luke, Chelsea, and of the several ;engin
comprised in the Croydon, Kingston, Lewirharn, lt,chmad,
and Wandsworth and Clapham Batons, was opened react.

of London, the Bishop of Winchester, witl in who. dive.'

M.P., and • large as of magistrites, gundiatit, and
others connectod with the disrlct:

------
The school lies on a declivity between Norwood-hill sod
the Croydon and Epsom Railway, and forma a c.t,%
object to the west of that line. To all appearance, a better
choice of site could hardly have been mode for the Leslmo(
the inmates.
' The establishment is strictly industrial, and no pnper
officers or servants are allowed on the premise., ro that its
contamination consequent on contact with adult paupers insj
be p ted. There are also three divisions; one for b-i,
another for girls, and a third for infants. One feature in the
reformatory eflect el the establishment is, art return to it is
rendered imprahible after th. age of 14. It has been found
by experience that children brought up in a workhouse :•-cic
on it a. their home, and when thrown out of work have no
dread of returning to it. A line of diwiactinn is dim
between Bach schools an thepresent and the workhouse, which

may be expected to induce the feeling that it would be s
degradation to take refuge in the latter.
The total number of parishes comprised in the N•iitt
Buy M School district is 43 ; of elected guardians, 110; el
ex o do guardians, 51 ; the area of the district serer is
90, 30 ; the population, which in 101 was 101,019, in 1841
