Industrial and Reformatory Schools Office, King and Bourke streets,

16th May 1871. SIR,

In forwarding the usual Industrial and Reformatory Schools returns for 1870, Returns for

I have the honor to state that the net increase of children in, these schools during the I~~?;~se dur­

year was 6 I, an increase about equal to that which took place in the preceding year. ing the year.

A good deal of sickness prevailed among tl{e children at different times during Sickness/in

the year, principally in the Sandhur~t school, where a sudden outbreak of eruptive the schools.

disease took place, and at Ballarat, where whooping-cough and ophthalmia attacked the children. At both places, however, the diseases quickly yielded to the medical treatment.

The number of the children sick in all the schools, at the end of the year, was Number sick

155, distributed a~ follows :-69 in the Melbourne ~chool, 30 at Sunbury, 18 at ~t~o;ie~red Ballarat, 12 at Ryne street, and 2 at Myers street, Geelong, 2 on board. the reformatory vious year.

s~lip Sir Harry Smith, I I on board the Nelson, and I I at the school in Sandhurst, making 49 cases less than the .number at, the corresponding period of 1869' Of 565 children received, 109' were reported as not being healthy when admitted. Thirty-one Deathsduring'

deaths occurred during the year, being It per cent. of the average ~1Umber of children the year.

in the schools.

The religious instruction of the children hal:l received much, attention in all ~eligiou~ the schools. At Sandhurst, Ballarat, Geelong, and Melbourne, ladies and gentlemen mstructlOll.

resident. in the localities have attended regular'ly at the schools every Sunday for the .purpose of aiding in imparting religious' knowledge to the inmates. At Geelong, the Sunday school teachers of the various Protestant denominations, and those connected with the Christian Doctrine Society, have united in providing treats for the children of the two schools, and the harmony with which the two bodies carried out the kindly work, and the [5oodwill displayed towards the children, call for special notice. Wherever practicable, the children attend church every'Sunday. At Melbourne all association of ladies has been 'formed, the members of ,yhich give much of their time to the visitation of the school, specially directing their attention to the physical requirements of the children. Their kindnesses to the sick children have been many, and their visits are looked forward to with pleasure.. .

An examirtation of the educational return attached will show that considerfible EducatioIllll progress has been made by the children under the care of their teachers. Two or progress.

three cases Of defective education were noticed in. the newspapers during the year, as reflecting upon the teaching in the schools geuel'filly. No doubt the advancement has not· been what could be desired in every case.; but as exceptionally clever children cannot be taken as representing the general pl~oficiency in a schoo], neither can "a few cases of deficiency in this respect (the result of disease or incapacity) be taken as Cases of

'representing the ordinary attainments of the children. In the cases refened to, it was Id~fici';ft found, on enquiry, that sickness or physical incftpacity on the part of the. children was e uca on.

the cause of the deficiency. '

The industrial training has heen attended" with good results. The value of the lnd~s~rial work performed by. the ch~ldren within the schools increases year by year. For I 870 I~~~~~~gin it was £835 I 8s. Trade instruction is now actively and successfully carried Ol~ on ,aluc of

board the .Nelson; the value of the work dorie there has, consequently, much increased. ~~~!a~r~ A corresponding decrease has, however, taken place in the value·of the labor performed at Sunbury, from which the trade boys employed in the ~Nelson have been tnken. There are, consequently, very few boys now left at Sunbury over ten years of age.

-~ildren ,T~e children licensed and apprenticed generally give satisfaction to their ~~;~!;ti~:d~ employers, although some of them are complained of as not doing so well as, they

ought, add several have been returned to the schools for misconduct. Some have, no doubt, giten cause for complaint; but, I am afraid that, notwithstanding the attention paid to thb licensing, and the care taken to see that the children are properly placed with employer~, all do not receive judicious treatment, and some have been so dealt with as to have discouraged them in their first attempt to work for themselves. In other cases, the miscdndu~t ,of the children has been the result of influence brought to bear upon them by,relatives or companions, whose advice is too readily followed by many of the children as soon as they become aware that the control of the State has terminated. • I

Cost per head.' ,~., The cost per head for maintenance has decreased in all the schools; except at , ' ," Melbour4e, where the great I!-umber of infants and very young children require an

additiona} number of attendants, an increased expenditure of the material for clothing and bedding and a lmger consmnption of fuel, and where the expenditure is made still greater By the number of children who, through it, are received into the department and discHarged to service.

I~ England and Scotland the average cost per head for maintenance of children , in Industrial and Reformatory Schools is now about £17 per annum; but into these

Youn,g child- schools chlldren are not received under four yeaI~s of age, ,,,hile at the Melbourne school ~~l~~~~C there a,r~ nearly 100 chi~dren under that age, inclusive o~ the infants in the care of schooL wet-nurs~s. I -do not thmk that much more can be done m the way of reducing' the P~rmanent, cost of these institutions, having regard to their efficiency, until permanent sites are ~l~~~~~~fd~lt- fixed upbn and suitable buildings are provided for the children. The averaO'e cost ingsrequired, during ~870 for the Industrial and Reformatory Schools wholly supported %y'the

The gaol at Geelong, although desirable, as ~~~~~l~~r:!t aff?rdirig better accommod~tion fO,r the children tl~an the old .buildin~s at Pr~n~es schooL Bl'ldge, was never'a convement place; and as, from Its construc'tloll (whIle contallung

a large Iiumber of inmates), it must be ~\Cpt either not airy enough', or, if ventilation is attem~ted, too drafty and cold in winter, there must be increased li~l.bility to disease. During the last winter both the officers and children suffered a good deal from colds.

I ' The' 'Fhe buildings on the St. Kilda road, taken into occupation in December, Melbourne rendering I other proylsion for the Melbourne children unnecessary, and the vacating of school.

some of ~he Immigration buildings at Geelong by the Immigration and Police Depart-Proposed ments, enables me to recommend the removal of the children from Myers street to the

tRran,sfetr.tot

Ryrie street school, where, with an outlay of about £1000 for addition and repairs, yneslee. h l'lal b 'h alhil 1 d d ffi' tl d' h . t e c n I ren can e more e t y P ace an e Clen y manage , WIt a J'Javmg

annuallJi for supervision of about £500.

The accom- 1:f the suggestion I have previously offered for the transfer of the, girls' ~oda~~~~ at reformatory from Sunbury to Geelong, when the gaol is vacated by the Industrial ;e~o~~u:tory School jchildren, is not acted upon: additional accommodation at the Sunbury inadequate. reformatory ,,,,ill be requisite. I would also take the opportunity of pointing out the

Convent schools,

SalldhllIst school.

necessity of providing separate accommodation for girls, who, previous to their committal to the schools, were leading immoral lives, and for those· who are returned from setvice for serious misconduct.

I ' ~ have still to speak favorably of the Convent schools, in which the childreJ?:are

well ca1ed for in every way, and of the school at Sandhurst, which must also be spoken of in terms-of high commendation, except so far as the teaching is concerned, which has not Ibeen satisfactory, and I am afraid will not be so while the committee continue to pay ~he tea.chers salaries less than the wages of the attendants. 'f~le additio,ns to the western wing of the asylum have. been compl~ted, so th~t there IS now ~Ultable accoIllIIJ.odation at Sandhurst for ISO gIrlS: 'The dIfficulty whICh arose some time ago about the reliO'ious instruction of the Catholic children has been satisfactorily, disposed of, 'so tliat no~ Catholics and Protestants are both received intO 'the institution.

I . \ The reforma- jMyreport on the Reformatories must, I regret to say, be less satisfactory than

tories, ~ it was ~or 1869' The Sir Harry Smith did not work well. Officers and boys alike ,seemed; so far as the discipline was concerned, to go from bad to worse, until it became' necessary, at the end of the year" to remove the officer in charge, who appearJd to be unequal to the proper discharge of the duties of his position.

has been an increase in the number of inmates" fmm 7 at the end of 1869 to ~~~~:~ of

I have to report favorably of the attention to duty and general efficiency of the Efficiency of

officers of the department. It is gratifying to be able to do so, so much of the success officers.

in training the children depending' upon their cordial co~operatioh. The work of the head office still continues to increase, and whil,e acknowledging the willingness with which extra wOTk is performed by all engaged, I must specially notice the zeal and ability exhibited by the chief clerk, Mr. Neal, in the discharge of his responsible and important duties.

During 1870, 258 maintenance orders were in force, 158 of which were made Maintenance,

during the year. Payments have been made on 203. The amount received from this ~:~~~n~~d source during the year was £ 1284 16s. 2d., being £II 8 8s. more than during 1869' ' The total revenue of the department was £1981 IS., being £129 13S. 5d. in excess of the previous year's receipts. 888 applications for children were received during the year, and 25,617 letters were dealt with, as against 22,500 in the year previous.

I think it desirable t,o point out in this Report that, while the Estimates for this Increase.of

department have shown an increase year by year, a considerable portion of that expendIture.

increase is more apparent than real, as childrel1who were maintained previously at the cost of the State were in past . years charged to different votes. Thus, up to the end of 1868 a large number of children in the Ballarat and Sandhurst Benevolent Asylums, and up to 1869 the children in 'the Abbotsford and Geelong Convents, were paid for out of a distinct vote; up to 1869 the Boys' Reformatory was charged to the Penal Department, and to the end of 1870 the Training Ship to the V olunteer Depart~ ment. All these (including the maintenance of the Nelson as a vessel for defence purposes) are now provided for in the vo~e for Industrial and Reformatory Schools.

I have the honor to be, Sir, Your most obedient servant,

GEO. O. DUNCAN, Inspector, Industrial and Reformatory Schools.

The Honorable the Chief Secretary.
