The Inspection of Schools
Year: 1905
Type: article
Abstract: THE necessity for the Inspection of schools requires emphasizing on JL account of the fact that while workshops, factories, common lodging account of the fact that whde workshops, fadones, common n ZD houses and many other buildings are by statute subject to inspection, no one in particular is directly responsible for tiie sanitary condition of schools.Tlce lJo(t1'd o f Education certainly-takes Yery littll' intl'rest in tlie matter.Indeed, I have heard it stated tliat they neither assume nor desire to assume any responsibility for the sanitary condition of school buildings or the health of the children.Nor is that to be wondered at when oue recalls the fact tliat the English Hoard of Education, though responsible for the compulsory attendance at school of some six million children, is absolutely without expert assistance where problems of health and sanitation are concerned.They appear indeed to resemble a certain country parson, wI1B!, wlien advised to have tlie vicarage drains and water supply examined, hrefurrecl &dquo; to leave all these matters to Providence'* and hope for the best.
