Roman Catholic Sunday School, Hertford Road, attendance averages
273 children—boys, 98; girls, 100; and infants, 75.
The Socialist Sunday School was reopened on February 15th. The
attendance of boys, girls, and infants is about 50.
Presuming that no scholars attend more than one Sunday School, there
are something like 9,379 persons attending Sunday School in Edmonton, with
varied regularity.
As I have stated in previous years, Sunday School attendance may be, if
not supervised, a considerable factor in the spread of contagious and infectious
diseases. The scholars in Sunday Schools are often more overcrowded than in
day schools, and the meetings often take place in buildings not specially
adapted for that purpose. It is urgently necessary that the powers of Local
Sanitary Authorities for dealing with these institutions should be both enlarged
and strengthened.
In April, 1912, it was agreed by the Education Committee that no further
schools should be let for Sunday School purposes, and that notice be given to
those at present using the schools to terminate such use on March 31st, 1913.
