The spirit of them , he said , was more efficient administration , im- provement in the classification of inmates , the removal of children from an atmosphere which was not calculated to train them to be independent and self - supporting , and better nursing and attendance for the sick poor .

The question of Whitsuntide Holidays was then discussed , and it was proposed by Mr. LLEWELLYN that the boys and girls schools should break up on Friday , before Bank Holiday and return on the following Monday week . It was also stated that the infants would only have the Whit - Monday holiday under the new arrangement . ог that such progressive policy had not met with as much public support as it deserved .
