NEGLECT AT SCHOOL

Remarkable ovidence given... recently, at Craydon Borough Police Court in the case in which two soboolmistressE were charged with wilfully neglecting 15 children in their. obarge at Holmesdale House Boarding School, South Norwood. In the school were","s" number of children of soldiers who had been killed or wounded, and the children of a fallen officer for whom-provision was being made. by the Ministry of Pensions.

The defendants were Mrs. Ada Lang, the principal, and Miss Kate Leader, the matron, and the case -W83 brought after the school had been disposed of to Miss Ansell, who took over the children. The defendants yesterday elected that the case should go before a jury.

The first witness Miss Lilian Ansell, asid she visited Holmesdale House last July, when Mise Leader said that "the money was mads in the kitchen."

A former governess at the defendants' school, Miss May Robinson, said part of her duties was to bath the children. They were all bathed in the same water, those with sores last, by which time the water was cold. The children's heads were always dirty. The children, she added, did not get as much to eat as they wanted, and the mesis were as follows:

Breakfast, 8 a.m.-Two slices of bread and butter, and a cup of tea without milk and sometimes without sugar.

Dinner, 1 p.m-Soup, with rice afterwards.

Tea, 4.30 p.m.-Same as break- fast.

There was nothing more till breakfast next day, and all the children, regardless of their ages, had the same food. They fre- quently complained of being hungry, and so she bought food for them out of her OWA money.

Mr. Stanley Smith, for the prosecution: Have you seen

of the either

defendants under the influence of drink ?—I have seen Miss Leader. but not Mrs. Lang..

Have you seen her absolutely drunk?--Yes.

Some of the girls, added the witness, played cards for coppers with Mrs. Lang after tea.

Mrs. Emily Shirley Anderson, who said she was a governess at Mrs. Lang's school for a fortnight, stated that one night she heard a “terrific row" downstairs, and saw in Mra. Lang's sitting-room, Mrs. Lang, Miss Leader, Miss Robinson, Mrs. Lang's daughter, and a Mr. Turner. Mrs. Lang and Miss Leader were rowing," and one of them was the worse for 1'quor.

Inspector Thompson, National Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children, said he examined the children con- cerned in the case at Miss Ansell's school. Some of their beads were verminous. Most of them were fairly well nourished. Oce Was badly nourished and pale and frighten- ed, and a little boy who had an open wound on his left leg was also pale and frightened. The children bad been neglected, and had the look always seen -in children suffering from neglect. The sores be saw-were, in his opinion, the result of vermin, improper feeding, and blows. The bedding was dirty, covered with dog's hair, and unfit for human beings to sleep on The children had undoubtedly been caused unnecessary suffering, from which, in some cases, their health had been injured

Mr Stanley Smith, for the Prosecution, said these proesed- ings were due to the public spirit of Miss Ansell, who, however, had received letters from pare of other obildren in her sof threatening to rem
