THOMAS' NATIONAL SCHOOL, situated at Walpole-street, in the County Borough of Chester, by providing additional accommodation for about 100 children. The Board of Education consider this Enlargement to be such as to amount to the pro- vision of a new school. The said School is conducted as a Voluntary School not provided by the Local Education Authority under the conditions prescribed by Section 7 of the said Act, and religious instruction is given in school hours in accordance with the provisions of Section 7 (2) of the Elementary Education Act, 1870, and in conformity with the doctrines of the Church of England.

Where the Local Education Authority or "any other persons propose to provide a new "Public Elementary School, they shall give "public notice of their intention to do so, and "the Managers of any existing School, or the Local Education Authority (where they are not "themselves the persons proposing to provide "the School) or any ten ratepayers in the area for which it is proposed to provide the School, "may, within three months after the notice .is gi Yen, appeal to the Board of Education on "the ground that the proposed School is not required, or that a School provided by the "Local Education Authority, or not so pro- vided as the case may be, is better suited to "meet the wants of the District than the "School proposed to be provided, and any I "School built in contravention of the decision "of the Board of Education on such appeal "shall be treated as unnecessary." (2). If, in the opinion of the Board of Educa- tion, any enlargement of a public elementary school is such as as to amount to the provision "of a new school, that enlargement shall be so "treated for the purpose of this section."

The time or times during which any "religious observance is practised or instruction "in religious subjects is given at any meeting of the school shall be either at the beginning or at the end or at the beginning and the end "of such meeting, and shall be inserted .in a time table to be approved by the Education "Department, and to be kept permanently and "conspicuously affixed in every -?choolroom "and any scholar may be withdrawn by his "parent from such observance or instruction "without forfeiting any of the other benefits of "the school.
