The Meeting took up the application on
behalf of Mrs Logan’s eldest son (15 years old) Book of
Applications p. 9 - who cannot read - and her own
circumstances not admitting of paying more than sixpence
per week.
The Mother and boy having been called and conversed
with, the Meeting agree to receive the boy on Monday
first.
The teacher is directed to keep a book or
record of the name and conduct of each child while
attending the School - the date of leaving - the trade
or employment in which he engages after he leaves School
- and of his behaviour, so far as he can discover it,
while being taught a trade, or otherwise engaged - so
that the supporters of the Institution may thus have the
means of knowing the history of the child after leaving
the Institution. The Secretary will provide him with a
book for this purpose. The teacher has hitherto kept a
record, but which is not in a shape which provides of a
ready reference to each child.
The teacher reported that Hugh Knocker
had left the School and he had been previously attending
very irregularly - that he had also found that he goes
out and begs over the parish. The Meeting approve Mr
McMillan and the teacher to make another effort with the
boy and his Mother to effect his regular attendance at
School, and to report to next Meeting.
The Meeting on the request of the
teacher, allow him three days for recreation, two days
at one |
