A seven-year-old child named John. Sheehan, living with his, parents near. Coventry, London, was killed in pathetic circumstances while paying heed to an age-old superstition. Seeing a solitary crow—which is believed to be unlucky—he rushed across the road with a view, to drawing his, playmates’ attention to the bird so that they might avert the evil omen. He was knocked down by a passing motor and killed. The following .resolutions were passed unanimously by tihe School Committee on June 25 last: (1) “That in view of the. great apathy shown in school committee elections, and in the consequent, difficulty in raising funds for school management, the Government be requested to bring down such legislation As w'Ul authorise school committees to construct a budget annually of estimated receipts and expenditure and demand from the local authority in whose district such school is situated the money a,s shown in such budget to be required for the efficient management of the school.
