REWARDS OF THE CHILDREN AT CAMPSALL

SCHOOL

The following rewards have been given to the Children attending at Campsall School, as an inducement to good conduct, and as the means of furnishing them with decent clothing and some useful books, during their continuance at the school, and upon their going into service.

1.

EVERY

ERY* girl who comes to school, at or as near as may be, the time appointed ;-who has her hair, face, neck, and hands quite clean, and her clothes in good order and properly mended:--who takes pains to improve in reading, and whatever else she has an opportunity of learning;-who performs her task in sewing, knitting, straw platt, &c. and does it as well as can reasonably be expected;-and who does not in any respect behave ill:—will each day receive a white ticket, having marked on it No. 1, 2, 3, &c.

* Reports to Appendix, Vol. V.

2. On Sundays, and other days when the girls attend the school twice a day, they may if they behave well, obtain two of these tickets; one in the morning, and the other in the after

noon.

3. If a girl is certainly known by the ladies to steal, cheat, or use bad words, either in school, or out of school, or to misbehave at church, she will not only receive no ticket on the day on which she is so detected, but will also forfeit twelve of the tickets which she had before received.

4. When a girl has one hundred of these tickets (in regular order from one to an hundred) she must return them to her teacher; and she will receive, instead of them, a prize ticket, having on it these words, "Reward of Diligence "and good Behaviour," No. 1, 2, or 3, &c. Each of these tickets will entitle the owner (on continued good behaviour) to the following sums of money which are to be given to her in necessary clothing, useful books, and a small proportion of money, when, with the approbation of the ladies, she either goes to service, or becomes an apprentice.

5. There will be no higher prize than No. 15. Should any girl obtain any more than fifteen red tickets, each of the succeeding number will be of the same value as No. 15.

6. No prize ticket will be given for any number of white tickets, that is not a complete hundred. If a girl loses any of the hundred she has received, she must return to her teacher such numbers as she has remaining; but she will not receive, instead of them, a prize ticket, or be intitled to any reward.

7. If a girl leaves school with the approba tion of the ladies, before she has completed her hundred, she must return the tickets she possesses; and if she has not lost any that she received, she will have, instead of them, a present in proportion to the number of her tickets, and to the value of the prize tickets, to which, had she been able to complete her hundred, she would have been entitled.

8. Should it ever happen that a girl behaves so ill as to be dismissed the school, or that she

leaves off attending without the approbation of the ladies, she will receive in clothing, ali the money due to her for her sale work; but her tickets of every sort must be returned to the ladies, and they will all be forfeited.

9. Every year in the beginning of November, a day will be appointed, on which each girl's progress in reading, sewing, &c. during the preceding year will be examined; and no other business will that day be done in the school. The following rewards will be distributed to those who appear to deserve them: to those who have made suitable improvement in reading, spelling, and understanding the meaning of words, a book; in writing, and accounts, either a pencil, a pen knife, pens, paper, or a writing book, &c.-in plain work, knitting with common needles, and a hook, and straw platting, either a pincushion, a workbag, a housewife, a pair of scissars, a pocket, or a pair of mitts, &c. Prizes for the different performances will be provided as nearly as possible of the same value; and each girl will be allowed to make her own choice from those allotted to the particular exercise for which she claims a prize. To each girl who has obtained the three prizes, a ticket

will be given, entitling the owner to the sum of 2s. 6d.; the money to be distributed in the same manner, as that arising from the prize tickets.

10. To shew clearly, what improvement in work a girl has made during the course of the year, she is to give on each examination day, a small specimen; which will be preserved, and compared with what she produces on the succeeding examination days. For girls under eight years of age, the specimen is to consist of straw platt, of seaming, hemming, stitching, marking the initials of their own names, darning, and making a button hole. Specimens of writing must also be preserved, and a note speci fying improvement in reading, spelling, &c. The scholars who have not attended a full year, will, on the day appointed, be examined along with the other scholars, as to their progress in every branch of their learning. If they produce as good specimens of work, and perform their other exercises as well as can reasonably be expected from the opportunities of improvement which they have had, they will be entitled to the different prizes, and to the annual ticket on the terms above mentioned.
