FUTURE DEVELOPMENTS.
During the year it has been found necessary to take into use another room belonging to the Day Nursery, and even with this addition to our premises our work is being seriously hampered for lack of more accommodation. During July the Committee decided that although the School had only been open one year it was sufficiently established to justify them in increasing its scope. They have therefore taken the house next door to No. 26 Cartwright Gardens on a three years’ lease for the sole use of the School. It is hoped to connect the two houses by means of a communication door on the ground floor. In this way we shall be able to secure the close and continued co-operation with the Day Nursery which has already proved so helpful and valuable in many ways.
Next term the School will remain open during the afternoon as well as the morning and we hope to have a regular attendance of about forty children.
Miss L. M. Rendel and Miss R. Harrison Rowson have promised to assist Miss P. M. Potter daily.
One of the features of the School will then be that it is entirely staffed by voluntary teachers. We hope to take full advantage of our enlarged premises by holding monthly meetings for Parents to discuss with them all questions connected with the upbringing of their children.
AN APPEAL.
For this adventurous step a very considerable increase of funds is necessary. The up-keep of an establishment of this description the cost is estimated approximately at £200. We at present have an income of about £60! This does not even pay the rent of the new house! We earnestly appeal to our subscribers to continue, and where possible to increase their subscriptions.
