The proceedings of the Industrial School Committee
comprised an account of the visit of Messrs. Tufnell and
Tremt-nhere, to inquire and report as to the condition and
working of the school. Those gentlemen had stated,
after a lengthened examination of the children, that, con-
sidering their respective ages, the boys were backward in
some of the chief subjects of instruction, but were ad-
vancing satisfactorily under the present mode of teaching ;
that the girls in general were very backward in instruc-
tion, and tl at there were some of them at an age fit for
service, and who bad been several years in the workhouse,
who were unable to read or write, but whose industrial
training had been well attended to ; that certain vicious
girls above fifteen years old in the establishment should
. be got rid of; that the infant schoolmistress was not an
efficient teacher, and that it would be well to look out for
a better ; that a male teacher was preferable to a female
in that department. They recommended the formation
of a library for the school, and another for the teachers.
The secretary was directed to write to the British and

now in full operation, the bibles and testaments offered
by the society would be thankfully received.
The minutes of the Workhouse Committee mentioned
that Mr. Riding had called attention to the illegality of cr
employing the inmates at the '• handles," and that the
visiting committee had been requested to consider the
matter, and report upon it to the next meeting. Mr.
George Pilkington's salary as clerk having been considered
too high, the committee bad resolved to reduce it from
£4O to £25.

Mr. BREMNER objected to the reduction, and moved
