Most people would remember the arguments, led by Dr. Alfred Mus- son and Canon Wrigley. who were in opposite camps: as to the best course to pursue. There were in terminable; a r g ume n t s about whether the Gas Works site was suitable, the opposition contending that the fumes would be harmful to the children. It was evedtually decided to build two schools, one at Henthorni and one in Chatburn road. The 1914 war prevented the plan from being put into operation, and in 1918 the Fisher Act abol­ ished the! half-time system, raised the school-leaving age. and pro posed advanced mstruction for the older children.

The comnuttee's plans were re


would become junior schools, and there followed a difficult period of negotiation. The Catholic author­ ities made their position clear from the start. They would make, their own arrangements. For a long time, the St. Jamess authorities wanted to do the same, but eventu­ ally agreement’was reached that religious instruction s h 0 u 1 d be given in the new school, according to a syllabus to be. drawn up 1 by the Church of England and Non­ conformist ministers, and by quali­ fied and conscientious teachers I St. James's School thus became the junior-school for the south of the town, and a new school, the Pendle Junior School, was planned for the north. Low Moor School also be­ came a~ junior school. Thus the Rlbblesdale Senior School became the senior school toiwhlch the chil­ dren went on leaving the three junior schools, and arrangements were made with other schools in the rural area, so that a number of places in the new school were re­ served for country children. The Lancashire and West Riding County Councils co-operated wholeheart­ edly. and the settlement attracted 'fittentlon over a tvlde area. Then came the actual work of building the school. An expert was called In! to- settle the site of the school, and In due'course the Rlbblesdale Senior School came into being In
