81. Kendal.-Inspected June 7th, 1849.-The accession of a good staff of pupil-
teachers has rendered this school, which was originally a remarkably good one on the
monitorial system, still better. The course of instruction is unusually comprehensive,
and the whole machinery is managed with the most perfect neatness and regularity.
Great care is bestowed upon the preparation of the pupil-teachers and monitors for their
duty, and they in turn add proportional vigour and strength to the main body of the
school. Much credit is due to the master, for the manner in which he has organized
and sustained a school so numerous for many years past, and for the diligence and
fidelity with which he is now carrying out the new arrangements.

82. Kendal-Inspected June 11th, 1849.-These schools being recently opened, and
the children many of them young, have to be judged more according to what they are
likely to become, than according to their present actual results. The discipline in both
is excellent, and the teachers appear fully competent to carry out the plan of instruction
they have commenced. The building, though small, is very neat, and there appears to
be every prospect of success.

83. Skipton.-Inspected June 13th, 1849.-Since last year the organization has been
changed by consolidating the drafts into larger divisions, and with very satisfactory
results, as the pupil-teachers show a good deal of aptitude in managing their several
classes. The discipline is mild yet firm, and the instruction generally speaking
satisfactory. Reading and writing both good. Arithmetic, geography, and grammar
fair. Spirit of the school active and industrious.

Skipton (Wesleyan).-Inspected June 14th, 1849.-A training school, which has been
in a low condition, and appears to be now somewhat reviving under a new teacher.
Results at present moderate, though the reading and arithmetic are very fair.

84. Oakworth, Sykes Head.-Inspected June 19th, 1849.-This school, which was in
a state of great activity last year, has rather declined from unfavourable circumstances.
The master had left for some time, and two or three teachers had supplied his place
without remaining long together. Thus the routine had been broken in upon, and
no steady plan of progress constantly pursued. The Committee hope to retrieve lost
time during the next year. The pupil-teachers, under the circumstances, have done
very well, and their services been invaluable.

85. Haworth.-Inspected June 20th, 1849.-Good order and discipline still prevails,
as was the case last year. Meantime the instruction has improved, and the pupil-
teachers have given a firmer tone to the class-teaching. The reading, particularly
in the first class, is good; for the lower classes a better supply of books is greatly
needed. Arithmetic and grammar also pretty good, Writing and geography fair.
86. High Green.-Inspected June 22nd, 1849.-Extremely neat premises, built from
the proceeds of an endowment, comprehending a school-room (which is also used as
a mechanics' institute) and a dwelling-house. The teacher, who possesses considerable
acquirements, conducts the school on the Glasgow system, and adapts his instruction
very well to the wants of the children. The whole institution likely to prove very
valuable, both to the juvenile and the adult population.

87. Wheatley.-Inspected June 25th, 1849-A small village school in which I had
taken some interest, as placed in a neglected neighbourhood. It is now given up.

88. Selby.-Inspected June 27th, 1849.-By far the most complete specimen of the
Glasgow training system I have yet seen in England. The foundation of the whole
system of instruction is laid in the infant school, where the children are not only
brought into proper discipline and accustomed to habits of mental industry, but are
brought forward in their reading, writing, arithmetic, and general information, so that
no really elementary work is introduced into the upper school. In the upper school
the children are divided into large classes, each of which has its own proper routine,
while the whole are assembled for moral, religious, and other general instruction on
the gallery. The neatness of the children, the handsome appearance of the school
furniture and apparatus, the general aspect of good taste and propriety, is more
striking than I have elsewhere observed it; and the children, as well as the teachers,
appear to take a pride in seeing everything as orderly as possible. The instruction
does not bear the same relative degree of superiority, although it is decidedly suc
cessful. The reading is excellent; writing, geography, arithmetic, and grammiar all
satisfactory; and methods are in operation for teaching history, which appear to me
likely to prove very beneficial. Altogether it is an excellent school, doing great
credit to the promoters, and equally so to the zeal and industry of the teachers.

89. Hull.-Inspected June 28th, 1849.-Improved since the apprenticeship of the
pupil-teachers, one of whom, particularly, shows great aptitude in teaching. The
reading is, on the whole, good. Arithmetic and geography fair. Grammar at pre-
sent only moderate. The master is extremely industrious, and uses every endeavour
for the advancement of the children. New buildings are now in progress, so that
the plans are at present somewhat unsettled. When completed there is every prospect
of good success, as regards both attendance and instruction.

90. Nafferton.-Inspected June 29th, 1849.-A village school, somewhat recently
established. It has been on the whole decidedly successful. The present teacher
has been there only a short time, but has got the school into good order, and is
beginning to produce some degree of mental improvement. The reading and writing
are satisfactory; the arithmetic also pretty good. The other branches quite elementary
at present. Discipline good, and general tone cheerful.

91. Beverley-Inspected July 2nd, 1849.-This school, owing to pecuniary and
other difficulties, is at present in a rather low condition, which naturally pro-
duces a somewhat depressing effect upon the energies of the teacher. There appears
to be no want of ability, however, on his part to organize and instruct a school
satisfactorily, and the progress of the elder children showed that they had been care-
fully taught in most of the elementary branches. The reading was very fair. Writing,
arithmetic, geography, satisfactory. Grammar but moderate. Discipline pretty firm,
but rather too noisy.

92. Gainsborough..-Inspected July 3rd, 1849.-Another instance in which the system
of small drafts has given place to larger classes under the influence of pupil teachers.
In the discipline there is still room for a little more order and firmness. The
reading is pretty fair, rather defective in expression. Arithmetic and history both
fair. Geography and grammar iu the higher class good. The girls' school holds a
pretty even relative position to the boys'. Reading, if anything, a little better.
Arithmetic, geography, grammar, not quite so good.

93. Lincoln.-Inspected July 4th, 1849.-A school still distinguished by its neat-
ness of appearance, good order, and the cheerfulness of love pervading all the
children. The instruction does not take in an extensive range, but is carefully ap
plied, and in some branches with very satisfactory results. Reading, writing, and gram-
mar I have noted as the most successful at the examination. Geography and arith-
metic pretty fair. Many of the children had some idea of mapping. Pupil-teachers
going on satisfactorily.

94. Mansfield Woodhouse.-Inspected July 6th, 1819.-A Glasgow training school,
composed chiefly of girls and infants, and in-tructed by a female teacher, who is cheer-
ful and energetic, apt in teaching, and conducts the school very creditably. As the
whole thing is new, the knowledge of the children is necessarily very elementary;
but they will be pretty sure to progress satisfactorily, if the present plans are diligently
carried out, which seems to be well guaranteed by the interest and aid of the ladies of
the committee.

95. Ibstock.-Inspected July 9th, 1849.-A remarkably cheerful school; drill of the
children excellent; vocal music very pleasing, discipline firm and effective. The in-
struction has improved since last year, in extent as well as in its general quality.
The reading and writing are good in the first class, geography very fair, grammar and
history moderate; mister very industrious and deserving.

96. Bardon Park-Inspected 10th July, 1849.-Small village schools; the boys' con-
ducted purely on the monitorial principle, the girls' having the addition of a gallery.
The range of instructions is necessarily but small, although there is a visible improve-
ment since the last inspection. The reading in the eldest classes is now pretty fair,
and they are acquiring some little knowledge of geography and grammar.

97. Bushey-Inspected July 17th, 1819.-This school is still flourishing in point of
numbers, and has been carried on with the accustomed amount of industry on the
part of the master, aided by the now more efficient assistance of the pupil-teachers,
The reading, as in most similar agricultural districts, is still defective in modulation and
expression. The geography and grammar are both very fair. The arithmetic, rela-

tively speaking, not quite so good in the higher-but very well taught to the lower
classes; vocal music also fair. The general order and regularity of the school indicates
a pretty firm and wholesome discipline, and the results are decidedly pleasing.
98. Belper.-Inspected July 20th, 1849.- On the Glasgow system. Discipline very
satisfactory. Instruction not far advanced at present, but improving. In some elemen-
tary branches, particularly reading, very good. Methods mostly collective. Master in
telligent, and generally well qualified. The school is rather small, and the children
for the most part young.

99. Sheriff Hutton -Inspected July 31st, 1849.-Owing to a mistake in the train,
I had no time to make a regular inspection of this school From the general ap-
pearance of the children, the discipline appeared to be well administered, and the
qualifications of the candidates showed that the instruction of the elder children must
have been carefully attended to in all the principal branches.

100. Stockton-on-Tees.-Inspected August 1st, 1849.-The master of this school is a
young man of very good qualifications, and appears earnest in his work. The school
is in a somewhat low state; the children generally young, the discipline hardly
characterized by sufficient vigour and cheerfulness. Under the circumstances of the
school, the instruction could not possibly be very comprehensive. The reading and
writing of the first class is pretty fair, as also the grammar; arithmetic and geography
more defective.

101. Darlington.-Inspected Aug. 2nd, 1849.-The first class exhibits a fair amount
of instruction, but there is too rapid a falling off in the body of the school. This
defect the pupil-teachers will probably rectify. The reading and writing is very fair
in this division; the geography good also; grammar more defective. The master in-
genious and diligent, rather wanting in the power of rendering the school cheerful.
A greater demand of neatness and cleanliness on the part of the children would also
be desirable, and by no means void of influence upon the whole moral tone of the
school.

102. Black-boy-Inspected August 3rd, 1849.-These schools have been erected by
the proprietor of some large coal mines in the neighbourhood, chiefly for the benefit
of the children employed about them. The girls' school is tolerably efficient, the boys'
at present defective. A fresh master has just been obtained from London, and it is
now the wish of the managers, that both schools should be brought into a position
in which they could appropriate the advantages held out in the Minutes of the Com-
mittee of Council.
