At a Meeting held at the Rectory House, Ilishopsgate, the 19th
of May. 1825, The Lord Bishop of CHESTER,
Rector of St. Botolph's, Bishopsgate, in the Chair ;
The following ADDRESS was read and approved :
It is proposed to establish one or more Infant Schools for the re-
ception of the Children of the Poor, front Two to Six Years of Age.
The object of this Institution will be, to provide for the care of
the Children during that portion of the day when, by the necessary
avocations of the Parents, they are unavoidably separated from each
other ; to form the Children to habits of obedience, good order, and
attention; and to give them such elementary instruction, as may
prepare them for entering with advantage into those Schools where
they may acquire useful knowledge, and be taught the great truths
and duties of Religion.
Great inconvenience is at present experienced in the National
Schools from the number of Children under the age of Six Years
pressing for admission ; who, having been taught no habits of dia.
copline or good order, greatly embarrass and impede the process of
instnietion into the Schools. For this evil an effectual remedy will
be furnished by an Infant School, out of which a regular supply of
well-trained Children, imboed with the rudiments of knowledge,
will be from time so time furnished to the Notional Schools.
It is no unimportant recommendation of such Establishments,
that by promoting cleanliness and regular exercise on the part of
the children, they tend greatly to secure the health of the rising
generation. Those who are accustomed to visit the Children of
the Poor best know how many cases of disease, deformity, and
bodily incapacity are to be met with, arising from confinement
in crowded rooms, with an impure atmosphere, from other dan-
baous exposures, and particularly from those distressing accidents
y fire which are of such frequent occurrence.
It is no part of the design of this Institution to relieve Parents,
prematurely from the care of their Children, or to effect any
greater separation between. them than oven now unavoidabis takes
place; the hours of attendance at the School being only those in
which the Parents are at present either entirely absent from their
Children, or prevented bestowing any care upon them.
Wherecynit it was reaolued,
let. That for the reasons mated in the foregoing Address, it is
desirable to establish in the City of London one or more Infant
School's, for the reception of the Children of the Poor, from Two to
Six Years of age.
2. That a Subscripthm be entered into fur that purpose.
