The above extract from the school log book reads: "A great many absent in the afternoon owing to the shows
that have arrived for the May Fair To morrow: I must say that
the children attend very irregularly here - the least thing seems
to prevent them from coming - too often it is the parents
fault as much as the Childrens."
