ScHow, Boo.—A meeting of the Foleshili School Board was held on Monday evening, at the Board room, Edgwick. In the absence of the Chairman and Vice-chairman, Mr. J. Randle presided, and tie other members present were Messrs. J. Hanson,S. Carpenter,and J.Heatherley. —Before the Board proceeded to the remission of fees, Mr. Randle, addressing Mr. SIMM3, pointed out that at a recent inquest at Little Heath, the state of things revealed was se bad that the Coroner made an observation to the effect that the School Attendance Officer ought to visit the district. The Board were not finding fault with Mr. "Swann, but they merely wished to hint to hint, that where drunkenness, wretchedness, and other evils prevailed, he should go first. A little extre'attention tp the outlying districts would be of infinite serviee to the children and the parents too, because if a man found that the law compelled him to do his duty to his children, he would have a little more respect for himself. Complaints had been received about the evasion of the law by people in Tinsley's-lane, and Little Heath was very little better; and the Board hoped Mr. Swami would visit those, and other similar places as soon as possible.—Mr. Swaim promised to do so, and Mr. Carpenter and Mr. Hanson having made some remarks supplementary to those of the Chairman, the Visiting Officer's report was read. In it was contained the following reference : "At a recent inquest held upon the body of a woman named Wheat, at Little Heath, I find it stated by one of th witnesses that none of the children had been made to go to school, and that they had never been visited. I feel it incumbent therefore to draw your Bo ird's attention to the fact, that there are 5 children in the family, two above school age and two under, leaving one boy, between 5 and 14 years of age, named George Wheat, the only one in the family I could officially compel to attend school. I visited his parents on the 15th Sept., 1880, on account of his irregularity at school. I found him with scarcely any clothing, and in sueh a condition that I could not compel him to attend. I again visited the house inOctober of the same year, and found him with no shirt, scarcely any clothing, and still in such a condition as to be quite unfit to be among ether children. He was again visited on June 28th, 1881, when he had left off attending school on account of having no boots. I again visited the house on Sept. 26th, and found him with no boots, and not able for other reasons to attend. The last visit was on the 14th April, 1832, when lie was again unfit to go. I find during the past 12 months he has made in all 86 attendances. I have visited the house to-day, and he has gone to school."—The Board remitted a number of fees, and ordered proceedings to be taken against several parents who had not caused their children to attend school regularly.
