Bed-rooms visited, and lights extinguished, every night at 10 o'clock, Report on the Warrington Training School, for the training of Schoolmistresses; by Her Majesty's Inspector of Schools, the Rev. W. H. BROOKFIELD, M.A. MY LORDS, 20 November 1849. IN obedience to your Lordships' instructions, I proceeded to the examination of this training school, on Monday the 15th of January 1849, and continued it during the five following days. It was the first inspection to which it had been subjected; and it is my pleasing duty to acknowledge in the outset the courteous reception, the frank hospitality and the cheerful, unreserved assistance which relieved my task of all its irksomeness and many of its difficulties. The generous interest taken in the institution by the Hon. and Rev. Horace Powys, its honorary secretary and chief manager, the parental vigilance and the kind-hearted energy which he imports into his function, have not failed to realize those characteristics which might be looked for in a school placed under such influences, and which must give to any visitor, casual or official, a very pleasing first impression. The ample provision for domestic comfort without luxury,-the light, warmth, and cleanliness of the premises,-the discipline, exact without harshness,-the personal neatness and modest demeanour of the students,-their apparent healthiness, cheerfulness and mutual harmony, the unobtrusive, yet unconcealed and matter-of-course way in which all other duties are not swallowed up, but-enhanced by being subordinated to religious duty;-these combine to show what vigorous and effective measures have been taken to secure for these young women, in many of the most important and indispensable particulars, what is essential to training them in habits conducive to their present welfare and their future usefulness. In a school, however, not yet of very mature existence, which has had to struggle with straightened pecuniary resources, and which has not had an opportunity of revising itself according to the suggestions of any previous critical examination, it was hardly to be looked for that a first inspection should not discover some few particulars in detail which might call for commendation somewhat more qualified than that which I have had the pleasure of recording with reference to the attractive features just adverted to. And, in effect, it would be trifling and fulsome to conceal that there are some respects in which the Warrington Training School requires assistance, as it most certainly deserves encouragement, to strive after a degree of attainment more commensurate than at present with its moral |
