R'egairdi-ng the erection of a new school


at Paythorne, the Clerk read a copy of the fciUowin.g letter which he forwarded to Mr. Brown, of the West Riding Education De-


pajttmerit, after the last meeting: “ The .plans and specificatione of i-tii'e


a.bove school were considered by the Bow- lainld Dnstriiot Sub-Commttee on- July 8th. f was instructed to inqui.re why the speoifi- caitioins were not submiiilited earlier to the Di.sllrict .Sub-Committee, and to i-nform you fbat in their opiniiioui they had been treated ci'iiscourtaoitfly in the ma,tter. I wais to in­ form von that it was prepcsferoiis to make a,ccommodafon for 64 chiildten when there were onily 27 and not likely to be any larger rntmiber.’ In the opinion of the Sub-Com- niiitfee the whole scheme ought fj.1 be re­ ferred ba,ck.

it will not, there­


fore, be necessary for me to repe.at the dest oriijLion llien given., I find since that dale,


j l\t)wover, tha,t some improvement has been effected in. some parts of blie difitricb. In the Leagnim Township a good and tibund- aitt supply has been found for the follow­ ing f'‘air,ms, New Gibbon Bridge, Lower Gib- buii Bridge, Moss Lane and . Affoss Side


I Jhiirm. In addition Palo Eanm which I tmderstuid i.s .really in Uiu.le Bowland Townslilp has allso harl water laid on from the same ^jurce. These farms which were formerly very Utdly off for water liave now had’ the defect satisfactorily remedied. Thtui again one or two fairms belonging to J.,oril Derby liave had some imiyovemeiit made as regards water supply. Othanniise the village and district remains very much in the same state as described by me in September, 1904. The Medical Officer of Health for thb’ County has lately visited the district and taken four different samples of watefr for analysis with .tlie result that not one of them’ hajs been found to be satis­ factory in quality. In two ctises, that of the running spout at Wharf Ealrm or the “ Bridge Sup^y' as it is callled ini my Report, and the running spout at ■“ Old Hives ” bacillus has been found which •shjows that foecail matters ga,ins apeetss to and contaminates the supply. Tlris colon bacillus, I may e.vp'lain, is a microforgau- i.sm which inhabits the iri,te’stineis of man and will help to make clerar tlie .signiificainre of Lis j)resence in a matter which is in daily iise by many people.'

quality considered, than any others.^ ^


■ ton-. The water from the Pump at the Sun Inn is not used for domestic purposes, I believe, and iherefoi'e' need not be sped'.al- ly referred to. since ilt is not a source of general supply. Other pairts of the diSi- Irict are very much worse off than tlie v5ik lage even, bad as its chief supply has been shown to be, for in sjome cases .os at Church


i' LLGAM K, CLrnit'.uoK 'i<ake Farm, and one p.art of He'sket'h Bane 'the water suppilly is derived from a ditdh


^ j on the road .side, open- to ever)’ conceivable I form of cointaminiat'ion. Had" these watets i been a'lialy.sed there i.s no doubt the result woid'd have l;eeni ven- mudi'womse tlian the samples given above. There are otliqr placets not much, if any Iretter off" as regairds source of supph'. tliaini the two inislaiwrus


i quoted by me above, and an account o|f ■ whicli can be found in former report. ' I conClndetl my report on tliait occasion by saying that a very good ca.se had' bear made out for ste|>s lieing taken for impru\'- ihg the Waitqr .Suj)ply Of CHiipping. I need only add here thait the report of the Medical Officer of Heaffth for the Conntv fully substantiafes th'i's comolusicfli.


' ’ The Clerk informed the meeting that in


accordance whit tlteir request he forwali-ded the recoimnendation of the Sub-ConmiiUee for an additional teaclier on rite staff at Bo-ltoii-by-BoWiand school to the M est Rid­ ing Aulliority. 'I'lm Auliiiirity repued that they were unable 10 agree to an addiitiioniiil teacher for tliA sicbuol but would agree Vo pile of tlie present stipplemdiiitary Leacliurs being replaced b) a teacher o-l liiglior quali­


fications. Canon Wilson s;i.itl tlie lecommendation


to iiicrease the slaif ctune from the iilqiec- lor and he had since e.vprcssed surprise that it had iwli been- increased. They had tliree teachers, each with over forty scholars, whidK, he thought, was alltogetlier too many. He asked if there was any proivided school in the district with the .same prodionliicAii of scholays to teadhaffs. The Olefk replied tliat tliere ware very


few provided school's in this part of the Riding. C.anUJi Wilson propased that the Clerk


vshotild Mini'te to the .Aiithoiriitv a.sk3ng wlvv the recommendation liad not been sa-nc- liioned. It should also be poiitled out that forty scholars to eaph teticher. o«n the ad-vice of the Inspector, was too mainiV. and was detrimental to efficient teaching.— ^Tlie Rev. J. C. Garnett seconded the I'asolution. wliich was carried unaiuimaitsly.

Che absence of scliiiilars duling the liay hairr vest, but Mr. Tdw-uson poikiited out -thati heavy rainb had been prevailent, and, wliile some of the children, ii-iigh't very well have been sent to school, others Ju outl)-iing partp of the district had been . prevented from doing so owing to the swoJien state of the -streiam.s.

of the populatilon at Paythorne ever being much larger thain a t the present time. Unidcr., the circum.stances the sdheme was prepos­ terous, and "it W/udd be a heavy burden up­


on the place. M"-. .Robin.sou .said the school was alto-
