PARENTS AS MANAGERS
SIR,—I am interested in the correspondence on this subject, particularly as Hilda Oakeley alluded to my article, " Our Village School." There was no room in that article to include the story of my managers, although I believe that when I was appointed Head here two years ago a feverish search was made to find four people willing to act as managers so that my appointment might become statutory. Only one of the six manners (apart from the correspondent) has been inside the school building,, except for meetings, since then. But not one of them sends a child to the school. If only four of my school parents were on the committee they would at least have shown some interest in the rights of their children, if not in their education: which in the long run would, I believe, have been to
the benefit of all.—Yours, &c., WILLIAM W. JOHNSON. The School House, Sheriff Hutton, York.
