QUATT SCHOOL.
An examination of this excellent Institution took place in the beginning of September. The interest felt in the School is not confined to this neighbourhood or this county; consequently a large number of persons from all parts were assembled on the occasion. Our readers will have seen a full account of the proceedings in the Wolverhampton Chronicle and other papers. To this account we have nothing to add, unless we should express a hope and a conviction that Industrial Schools will soon become common. The subject has excited much attention in Birmingham and other large towns, and has been made matter for several Inspectors’ reports. It is gratifying to find persons of influence actively engaged in fostering these Schools, and rendering them nurseries of honesty and industry; and, but that we do not care to mention names, it would be only paying (with small coin) a public debt of gratitude, to express our admiration of the energy with which Quatt School was re-modelled by influential gentleman in the neighbourhood, and of the perseverance with which it is conducted. We hope in a future number to have some remarks on the subject of Industrial and Penal Schools.
