A Manilla Court case on a father who kept his daughter at home to avoid sending her to school beyond age 14 highlights an anomaly in the amended Education Department Act requiring attendance to 15. The Manilla Parents and Citizens Association has long urged higher standards, arguing the law overreaches small communities lacking facilities.
The Manilla Hospital Board held a full attendance meeting to discuss co operation with the Diphtheria Immunisation Campaign, a donation from Manilla Rural School children, and gifts to the hospital. Monthly admissions totaled 32 with 45 treated. finances showed income of £302 3s 5d and a remaining balance of £386 9s 8d. Other items included proposed front path work, sale of an unused copper heater, and plans for a Maternity Unit with readiness for future funding, plus consideration of a cement square or gravel work at the hospital front.
