By now the yearly life of the
school falls into more or less a set pattern, and also mention
is made in both the Log Book and the minutes of the Managers
Meetings of several people by name who are still living in the
village today. (It therefore becomes expedient not to mention
names, and should any occur to leave a blank.)6
1921 deserves a special mention. A report in the
Log Book on September 12th reads: ‘A start on individual work
and the continuation of the experiment in ‘Self-Government’
which started last term, the laws made by the School Parliament
are being faithfully carried out. The Court of Justice |
|
tries offenders.’
In October and November of the same year Miss
Wright comes under severe criticism from various parents
regarding the way she makes the children wash and do their hair.
However, the Managers,7 with reservations,
support Miss Wright and so the matter is left. At the same time
Miss Wright has a great deal to say about several families and
children, especially about cleanliness – or lack of it.8
The complaints continue to the exclusion of
6 N.B. These names can be found
in the sources quoted.
