COUNCIL SCHOOL REGISTERS: VICAR’S QUERY.


The monthly meeting of the Clitheroe


Education Committee was held in the Town- Hall yesterday afternoon, Coun. T. Garnett presiding. The other members present were the Mayor (Aid. J. T. Whipp), Aid. J. Robinson, Couns. W. Weils, W. Hard- acre, J. Crabtree, H. Parkinson, A. Roberts Revs. J. H. Wirigley, E. H. ApperJey and Ft. Hayes, Mrs. W. L. Grime and Miss Carr.


REGISTERS AT COUNCIL SCHOOL. On the minutes of the School Attendaice


Committee coming up for confirmation. The Vicar said he would like to ask


•Whether it was true that the Council school registers were not marked wh'en the attend, ance was very low owing to bad weather. If it was true it was a very serious thing. The Chairman said the question had b5 -


ter be asked of the managers of the school. Coun. Hardacie said the children might


probably have been sent home. The Vicar: There was a healthy rivaliy

hetHven the schools as to who had the best attendance and it was very unfair to th,e


teachers in other schools if the registers at one school were not marked when there


was only a small attendance. .Aid. Robinson said it would be a very


serious thing if it got into the papers. The Vicar said he would like to know


whether it was true. Courv. Hardacre stated that he was one


of 'the Managers of the school but he had not heard of ithe matter before. The Vicar said it was right that there


^ould be a healthy rivalry between the schools for the best attendance, but when one school did not mark the registers on account of the attendance being low it was perfectly obvious that the school was taking advantage of thie others. After consulting the School Attend­


ance Officer, Coun. Hardacre said the register in the infants department of the Cwncil school was not marked on February 3rd and only marked once on February 4th. The Vicar moved that the attention of

the managers be called ito the matter and he thouglht it ought to be attended to. There was no provision in llbe Code for such pro­ ceedings and they were also imfair. Coim. Hardacre seconded. Coun. Roberts stated that he was one of


the managers of the school and it was the first time that he had heard of the matter. The Vicar hoped the practice would not


go on. The Chairman thought the matter ought


to be remitted to the managers. The Vicar said there was one section in


■ the Code which said that in country dis­ tricts, where children had to walk long dis­ tances and got wet through, the teachers could send them home and if only very few remained behind they could close the school for the day. The Council school,


was the largest in the torvn and in no pos­ sible way could that section cover it. Aid. Robinson said it would be a seri­


ous thing if the matter got into the papers and he suggested that the Qiaiiman should ask the reporters to keep it out. The Vicar objected to that course being


adopted. The Rev. E. H Apperley said he was


Sony that Mr. Wrigley had introduced the question as he agreed with Aid. Robinson that it would be a serious ma)tter for the teacher if it got into the papers. The Chairman thought the least they


said about it and the better it would be. If they would only allow tfhe resolution to go it would be bditer for all concerned. They knew nothing at all about the matter and there might be entries in the log book. The Vicar contended that if some pro­

ceedings of that -Committee were reported, everything ought to be reported. A matter in connection with the National School had been reported and matters connected with the Council School eJu^ht to be. reported also. He objected to any discrimination. Aid. Robinson said there was a difference


between the matter in question and that mentioned by the Vicar in connection with the National School.’ The latter, affected' the ratepa)ers and theotlhJer did not. The Vicar: This dxies effect the rate­


payers. Aid. Robirison: Yes—to our advantage. Coun. Roberts, to the Sdhool Attendance Officer: Is this tihe first time it has hap-


'Pened? Mr. Dewhurst: Yes, to my know'led^. The Vicar said Ihe would like to know


■ whether it had happened before and hiow often. Mr. Dewhuist had only been on a short time. He (the Vicar), knew that the' tegisfots were marked at all the'other sclrols on the days he had meaitiooed.


Commences See Bills. A resolution was eventually passed calling


the attention of the Managers of the Coun­ cil school to the fact that the Education Commitlee had received a report from the School Attendance Officer to file effect that on Feb. 3rd and Feb. 4th, the registers were not marked and aslang for their ob­ servations on the matter.


APPROVAL. The Local Government Board wrote ap>-


proving the apjiointment of Dr. W. E. Bar­ ker as School Medical Officer for Clitheroe for the year commencing August ist, 1908.


ADMISSION OF THE PRESS. The Clerk (Mr. Thos. Eastham), sub­


mitted to the meeting a circular from the Local Government Board concerning the Admission of the Press Bill which will shortly come into operation. The Vicar: -Are we ithe authority or only


a committee of the authority ? The Clerk: The Town Council are the authority and w;e are the Education Author­


ity which is an authority within the mean­ ing of this Act. .After perusing the circular the Vicar said


it did not include that Committee, as mat­ ters were only referred and not delegated to them. Everything they did had to be sent to the Council for their approval. That was rather an important question. The Clerk admitted th'at the powers were


only referred by the Council but said the Council migjht delegate the powers com­ pletely anotiier year. The Vicar: While w'e are obliged to sub­


mit everything to the Council for approval we do not come under this Act. The Mayor: I think we might discuss it


wthen it affects us. The Vicar: It affects us now. We are


not obliged to have the Piiess here. It is only thiough out exceeding good nature that they, are here. They are not present by Act of Parliament. ’ The matter then dropped.


COST. OF EDUC.ATION. The Clerk stated that in accordant trith


a resolution 'j)assed at the last meeting he w.rote to Mr. D. J. Shackleton, M.P. for the Division, asking him to attend a depu­ tation to tlie Prime Minister and Chancel­ lor of the Exchequer to protest against tire excessive growing cost of education. Mr. Shackleton had replied stating that on re­ ceipt of the date fixed he would be pleased, if at all possible, to attend the deputation. Mr. Eastham said the date fixed was 'the i8dh of next month and he had written Mr. Shackleton to that effect.


APPLICATION. A letter was read from Mr. W. B. Har­


greaves, son of Mr. J. Hargreaves, Registrar of Births and Deaths, applying fw a posi­ tion as teacher under the Education Com­


mittee. -The Clerk was instructed to reply that


there were no vacancies at the present time and that the application would be borne in m’nd When a vacancy occurred.


AN. OBJECTION. Thte Clerk read a letter from the Rev. R.


Railton, on befhalf of the Managers of St. James’s Sunday School, objecting to paying two-sevenths of the cost of the window screens erected at the school. The Borough Treasurer (Mr. W. E. Har­ rison) said tire late Town Clerk advised


however, was not a country school. It | them to take the advice of the Board of


Education on the matter. On the motion of Coun. Hardacre this


course was adopted. SCHOOL ATTENDANCE OFFICER’S DESK.


The School Attendance Officer (Mr. J.


Dcivihurst), wrote stating that in order to keep the books more efficiently and fulfil the duties of his office he had had to pur­ chase a desk and cupboard, the price paid' being 3s. 8d. and he asked the Cora- mi'Ctee to defray the cost of the same. Tile Vicar thought it was a reasonable


thing to do. Coun. Hardaore said it was quite right.


The desk would be the property of the


Committee. On the motion of Councillor Roberts, seconded by Councillor Wells, it was de­ cided to defiray thfe cost of the desk.


WHO APPOINTS THE CLERK?


At the conclusion of the ordinary business The Vicar said he wodM like to ask who


appointed the Clerk to that Cbmmitt^. Did they appoint him or did the Council ? He understood that the Council were ar­ ranging 'to .appoint a Clerk and what was more they'Wad .arranged to reduce the salaiy


connected ivith the office. The Mayor: I have not heard it mienr


tioned before. The Vicar said he wanted to, point out


ithat under the IMucation Act it was a_ mat­ ter that stood referred to that Committee. Unless the matter was very urgent the Act said the Education' Committee must be formed Before aiiything was done. That


matter was not urgent. The Mayor thought Mr. Wrigley had got


hold of wrong .information'. Coun. Roberts:, This/Committee can , On Wednesday services were conduct^


at the Parish Church at eleven o’clock in the morning and in the evening at 7-30, and on succeeding Wednesdays during Lent there will be service at 7-30 p.m. The preacher on Wednesday was the Vicar (Rev. J. H. Wrigley). Special services are being conducted at


SS. Michael and John’s Church, Lowergate, by the Rey..Fr. Hayes, S.J.' He preached on ■ Wednesday evening on “ The agonj; in the garden.” At the subsequent services Fr. Hayes will preach on the following sub­ jects: Wednesday, March 3rd, “ Christ be­ fore Ptla.te ” ;.

only recommend, I suppose? The Clerk: Yes.


The Vicar: It recommends arid then tii'e Council slaps it in .the face by ignoring its


recommendation. The Mayor: I don’t think we have


slapped it in the face. The Vicar said the Council had done


that on several occasions. Under that Act, went on Mr. Wrigley, all powers, except the power of laying a rate or borrowing money, had to stand referred to the Education Com­


mittee of the Council. Coun. Hardacre said thb Clerk had given


a ruling on the matter. Aid. Robinson said the Council had not


had the question before them. The Vicar said the Clerk had just stated


that he lhad given a ruling on the subject. There was a strange contradiction of opinion as .to wihait had happened. Coim. Roberts: I have not heard it men­


tioned before. The Vic.ar s.aid the Act was very plain. The Mayor said the office was not vacant


yet as the Clerk had not resigned. The Rev. E. H. Apperley thought Mr. Wri^ley was correct. The matter ought


to be referred to that Committee. The Vicar said the question stood re-


fonted automatically. He wanted to kiKW what was to be done. The Mayor said if he would wait until


the next Council meeting he would’get his information then and not before. The Vicar did not think the Council had


any right to take the initiative. TheiMayor: When the present Clerk re­


signs we can consider it here.' The Vicar said the Committee had potver to appoint a Clerk until such an appoint­


ment could be ratified. Coun. Roberts did not Chink that Com­ mittee could'ratify it. The Council vrould


have the say after all. The Vicar .said if a special meeting of the


Council had been called to appoint a Clerk why had not a special meeting of that Committee been c.alled to which the .ap­ pointment of their Clerk had been referred.' The Cbairma;n said there h.ad been no special m'ecting of the Council ■ called to


appoint a Clerk. The Vic.ar: Then why is ibe here if hie


has not been appointed ? The Jvfayor said he appointed Mr. East-

ithey had received the report of >the Educa­ tion Committee. The Council^ could only refer, the matteir to thait Cornmlttee. Aid. Robinson said if the Committee


■ recommended somebody the Council would consider the recommendation. The Vicar said that what he objected to


was the continual filching by the Cotmcil of the iioivers of the Education Committee. Thev gave their /time a.t meetings and then found that what they had done had been entirely undone, or matters that ought


to have been referred to them settled by the Council.


The Mayor said the Town Clerk for the . '


time being’ held both offices. The Vicar said the Council had not power


■ to appoint him and they had done wrong. The Mayor: I am not a laivyer. 1 sim­ ply appointed the Town Clerk and the


Council ratified it. The Vicar: I say you have no right to


appoint him. If you are not a lawyer you ought to have gone to one who is a lawyer. Mr. Wrigley went on to say there was abso­ lutely no use for that Committee. They had no potrer and many of thieir recommen­ dations were not attended to. They sat there month after mon.th as mere puppets to fulfil the statutory obligation. , The ^Layo^: I object to that. The Rev. E. H. Apperley .said they all appea.red to be in a mist. The Committee


had no poiver. The Vio.ar: We have no poiver at all. We migh-t just as well send our ivalklng sticks.


(La,lighter.) No action was taken and the Vicar at the


close said: I shall oppose a reduction of salary.

EARLY CHICKENS.


^Thanks to the incubator, the production of early chickens has been greatly simpli­ fied of late years, and yet^the marketing of spring chickens has not increased to the extentjwhich might be imagined, j For this there arej^two reasons— the cost of


rearing g^and the decreased price early chickens realise owing to the competition of foreign frozen birds._^Regarding the second, nothing can be done ; but the cost of rearing can be reduced. I t is high wholly and solely because the death-rate is so heavy .^Though an incubator is just as good as^a hen for hatching purposes,


it^must be confessed that an artificial brooder is not equal to the real article. Even^where^the heat is regularly ad­ justed, it can never be so goodgas the warmth of the mother hen ;^and£again, when rearing fifty chickens i^together a certain amount of crowding is inevitable, and the^weakest in such cases always suffer, in brief, the proportion of losses among artificially-reared chickens during December and the first three months of the year is appalling, though many chicken rearers lyill not^acknowledge it. Many chickens are killed through too much heat; QOdeg. is high enough for the first few days, and then the heat should be gradually lowered. Possibly the crux of the matter lies in getting chickens of strong stamina to start with. If there is any constitutional weakness in the fledg­ lings, they may live for a while, but will never reach maturity. Avoid “ travelled eggs ” if possible for incubation purposes, but if they are used, be quite sure of their pedigree ; unless tlie stock birds are young, carefully mated and have an ample grass run, the eggs are next door to worthless. The Chickens should have a run in the open air every day, and have plenty of chaff in which to scratch. They can be reared entirely under cover, but with a high death-rate only, and this method lias not yet been proved financially possible in this country. It is a fact that the best spring chickens marketed are the Surrey and Sussex birds, which,' almost invariably, are naturally reared, and the brooder who aims at producing market birds should rely on the broody hen as much os possible, pending the arrival of the perfect artificial brooder.— Countey Life .


AIR-GAS FOR LIGHTING COOiaNG.


AND “ Air-gas as a lighting and heating


agent is^a success,'^and provided a good plant is chosen there need be no hesitation in adopting it,” says a wuriter in “ Building World,” who has been asked to give advice on the lighting|and warming of a country house. “ The gas compares fav­ ourably with acetylene, as it is a cheaper light, is non-explosive, and non-poisonous, and can be used economically for cooking warming rooms, and heating water. For a hot-water supply to bath and kitchen sink (that is, for general all-day domestic purposes), a range boiler will probably be cheaper. There are no drawbacks to the use of air gas, only the little trouble of inaking it and the cost of the plant; but in these respects the cost, etc., are only the same as ■ acetylene. There are about twelve air-gas systems that are tolerably weU knoivn.”


DELUSIONS ABOUT SCOTS. “ Scotland,” rays “ Cassall’s Saturday


Journal,” “ 'is still .an unknown land to a vast number of English people. Evien the noitelists make a mera of it When they at- ■ teropt the dialect, or introduce allusions (social, topographical, general) about what they are still pleased to term 'the ‘ land o’ cakes.’ One novelist 'Tecently represented a’ dharacter as singing a Jacobite ^ng and acoomp.anying Ihknself oai' the bagpipe 1 An­ other introduced an organ (alw.a)'s called, of course, a ‘ kist o’ whistles ’) into a Free Kirk wiifhin ten years of the Disruption of 1843.

THE HOME OF THE SWEET .PEA. ■ ‘ Sicily is the honie of the Sweet Pea, yet,


strange as it'inay seem, it is almost iropos:- sible to find la wild Sw ^ Pea in' Sicily to-, day,” savs a writer in the Sweet Pea Num­ ber of '"The Gardlener.'”-- ’ “ For oi^y years people who ane in the habit of visiting that beautifuil island 'have mad'e diligent search, but so far ivdthout success,' for in the only cases ivihere.Sweet Peas have bieen discovered they proved to'be some of. the most recently introduced varieties, /ivhich had .been imported by some old country

a conundrum, but is one of those alos-truse questions with alliich scientists delight to vex 'themselves (thereby generating sxiixir- normal heat) in the shivering days of Janu­


ary, after the Christmas 'bills have 'been paid and the mental barometer indicates a large .area of depression. Tlie question has beeffi' discussed in “ Building World,’ and in the cunrent number all the available information and expert opinions on the sub­ ject are clearly stated. There appears to be three kinds of tndles:_ the first is the geographical .mile, which is deteimined by the meridian .at the equ.ator, .and is used by those geogra'Phdcal Fellows who _ think nothing of skipping from one mountain top to another in the 'hmefest space-of time;


the second is .the nautical mi'le (which some claim to be the same as the gec^aphical mile), and is used by s.iilors who skim over the tops of ithe ivaves or plough "the deep, according to the state of the ai’ea/ther; and (he third is the land raile, ’ivihich is used.hy the sober-minded common- people (appar­ ently the .majority of, human beings) who plod the surface of moffier earth, and rery wisdly prefer-, to iise the ^loiteat of miles- that are available. " The discussion is in­ teresting an.d the knowledge useful ; but tht difference in len]^ ,beti\^^ the , several ntiles is, after all, only a vciry few f-eet.y

SIX HUNDRED ACRES OF SWEET PEAS.


“ As far back as 1893,” says “ The


Gardener,” “ some 200 acres of land in different parts of America were devoted to the culture of Sweet Peas for seed, and to-day there are probably not less|,than 600 acres of the best land in the State of California devoted to this purpose. In Canada two forces have been operative in developing the cultivation of Sweet Peas ; first, the love of home flower which emigrants from Britain have taken ■ with them ; second, the keen spirit of emulation begotten by their intimate association with the United States. Under this


stimulus the sales of Sweet Peas are very largej^when it is remembered that the population of that vast dominion is less than that of Greater London. Many tons of seed are needed every year, and while this can be saved with fair success in the country where it is sold, comparatively little attention has been paid to it, and so far as the writer is aware no one has attempted anything in the way of hy­ bridising or developing new varieties.

with meals on the voluntary system London is miles behind many of our great provincial cities,” says “ The Penny Magazine,” “ and the authorities are only


and found wanting by other great cities. Bradford is a fine example at the present day for London, and it stands amongst tho leading cities in the matter of grip ^ and commonsense which it has brought to bear on the problem of its half-starved scholars. Unlike many municipal enter­ prises, although no expense was spared to make the feeding arrangements in Bradford perfect, the money was so carefully spent that- the meals worked out at a penny per head with the exception of dinner, for which a further half-penny per head was necessary.”


WHY OUR RAILWAYS DON’T PAY. “ Within the past ten years.” says a


writer in “ Cassell’s Saturday Journal,” “ the total depreciation in the value of British railway stocks has been 350 millions, or just about thirty-three per cent. Such a state of things seems absurd beyond belief. Here we are, with our huge population and enormous trade, and yet while other nations are making money hand over fist out of their railways, ours are- simply rolling down hill Why is it ? Ask a director, and tho first thing he will say will be ‘ oppressive and unjust taxation.’ Truly our companies have every reason to complain of the cruel taxation of their earnings. Income tax and passenger duty are-bad enough, but it is local rates which press most liardly upon them. The latter alone amount to over five millions annually. Within the past forty years the burden of rates upon British railways has multiplied by ten. Out of every pound earned four shillings and fourpenoe goes in rates. The total taxation of our railways has reached the terrific figure of seventeen


per cent.! t„ , 1 , ■ , ■ .
