The schools of industry at Kendal, contain 112 children; whereof 30 of the larger girls are employed in spinning, sewing, knitting, and in the work of the house; and the 36 younger girls in knitting only. Eight boys are taught shoe making, and the remaining 38 are engaged in what is called card setting ;*—the preparing of the machinery for carding wool; an occupation apparently difficult and intricate, but easily learnt, and peculiarly adapted to little children. For the industry schools there are two mistresses for knitting and spinning, at eight shillings a week each ; and a master shoe-maker, whose salary (arising out of an allowance of two-pence a pair for finishing the shoes; and in fact deducted out of his scholars' earnings,) amounts to twelve shillings a week. For the reading and writing school there is a master, aged 18, at half a guinea a week; and an usher, a boy of 14, who was allowed eighteen-pence a week, but, in consequence of superior offers, is now engaged at three shillings a week. These two, with the assistance of the upper and more intelligent boys, supply all the requisite instruction for these industry schools, where 112 children are educated and fitted for useful life. The expense of the whole establishment, in salaries, fires, candles, rent, and every other incidental charge (furniture, premiums, and school wages being deducted,)* has amounted in two years to only £110. 15. 2d.; or 1,55. os. 7d. a year.–For this annual expenditure, how much has been done, will be detailed in the remaining pages of this extract; in which I shall direct my attention chiefly to those points, in which the schools at Kendal differ from other schools.
* For this occupation of the children, the charity is indebted to Mr. Isaac Rigge, one of the society of friends at Kendal ; who has not only made a point of giving this supply of work to the schools, but has also required of all the children employed by him that they should attend one hour daily, at the reading school of the schools Os Industry. of industry. .
