Wolverhampton School Board Debates Denominational Fee Aid
The Wolverhampton School Board, led by Mr Fowler, resumes debate on paying fees for indigent children's denominational schools. Mr Bantock argues the 1870 Act commits the state to secular education, warns such aid risks religious discord, and urges boards to run their own schools with mixed admission. A plan to limit payments until adequate public school provision exists is proposed.

Harvest operations in Essex Middlesex Surrey Bucks and Berks progress fairly as rye oats and wheat are gathered. New wheat shown at Marklane lacked quality while good soils yield average results but poor soils may produce indifferent returns.

Potatoes face disease risk from cold wet weather even as bulk production remains high.
