The schools at Edge Hill, though most satisfactory in point of man-
agement, have for some yens past proved very inadequate to the
growir g wants of the district ; and the recent increase of the popula-
tion has been such as to make it imperative to provide further tciool
accommodation for the Boys and inmets. Of all the instances of
rapid extension of burldUg in the neighbourhood of Liverpool, there
is pen haps none more remarkable than that which has token t lace
in this district; for that portion of it which is situat d between
Wavertree-road and Smithdown-lane, and which two or three years
ago consisted of little else than bare fields, is cow covered with streets
and teeming with inhabitants. The consequence of this change:has
been that applications for admission into the schools have already
been refused from the nsufficiemy of the accommodation; and a due
regard to health end di• cip:ine would surzgest the prop- iety of reduc-
in f, instead of incroasinv, the number of pupils in the present build-
in,s. But as the patents are anxious to obtain the benefit of a good
education for their children, and as such a feeling oil their part is
worthy of all encouragement, the only course left for the friends of
Christian education is to take immediate and effectual measures for
extending the school accommodation tor Boys and Infants, so as to
meet the present and la-ge prospective increase of pmuiation in this
locality. The School Comeni tee, after careful consideration, think
that schools should be p;ovided capable of containing 6-;',o boys and
infants.

The existing buildings would not admit of snch alteration and en-
largem •nt as would render them really efficient schools, or accom-
modate the requisite number of children. The are I occupied by the
present hulidings and yard is much too small ; snd were it ever so
large, the tm ure of the land being only leaseholo,-and incapable,
owingto legal ob,tac es, of beim: converted into freehold, no pecun•ary
aid could on that account Le obtained from the Committee of the
Privy Council on Education.
The foregoing are, in the opinion of the School Committee, decisive
in favour of a new building and a new site, as the only effectual mode
of meeting the educational wants of the increased and increasing
population of Edge Hill. It is earn, ally hoped and believed that
these inhabitants of the district, whom God has blessed aith the
moans f promoting this good work, will, by their personal cont Wu-
tions and by filth* exertions among their friends, succeed in raising
such a sum (say .t'2,000) as being met by a grant from G,..v rnment
for an equal amount, will secure the erectiOn of schools ; calculated
to diffuse and perpetuate the blessings of a Re igious Education among
the Children of the Working Classes in this important locality.
