When the Society makes a gjant of 

 money to a scliool, or district society, 

 ■what conditions docs it impose ? — That 

 it should follow the national system in 

 leaching, as to mechanism ; and the chil- 

 dren bo inslrsictcd in the liturj,'y and liie 

 catechism of the Church of j^n^Hand ; 

 and that tiiey constantly attend divine 

 service in their parish church, or other 

 place of public worship under the csta- 

 blislnncnt, wherever the same is practi- 

 cable, on the Lord's day, imlcss such 

 reason for tlicir non-attendance be as- 

 signed as sliall be satisfactory to the per-

 What prevents them from cducating^ 

 more? — Want of space. 



Is there any indisposition on the part 

 of the parents to send their children? — I 

 believe not: as far as my experience 

 goes, there i^ a great desire to send them, 

 even among the lowest orders. With 

 the permission of the Committee, I 

 would mention an anecdote: An old 

 Irish barrow-woman, with a pij)e in her 

 mouth, came into the girls' .school one 

 day, and said to the mistress, "Good 

 madam, God Almighty lias got a place 

 for you in Heaven, for you kindness to. 

 my child." 



Do yon perceive aiTj' dilficnlty on llie 

 part of the parents in sending their chiU 

 dren to school, in consequence of the 

 naked state of some of them? — No, wo 

 require nothing else but clean face and 

 hands. 



Is there any difficulty on the part of 

 the parents sending them, for want of 

 clothes? — I believe there is; they feel 

 .some reluctance to send them, which 

 the gentlemen of the school endeavour to 

 overrule. 



How many can one master superin- 

 tend, according to your system ?— I con- 

 ceive I do not exaggerate when I say 

 one thousand. 



What would be the expense ? — The 

 room being given, the expenses arc, 

 salary to the master, and the expense of 

 books, which, I hope I shall be able to 

 prove to the satisfaction of the Com- 

 mittee, is a mere trillc; say 80/. a year. 

 What would be the expense of such a 

 room, to build it ?— That must depend 

 much upon Uie inattrials, 'I'he quan-
