East and South Devon Advertiser: Saturday 12th June 1909

Cricket: A late start was made in the game between Highweek Church Institute and Bovey 2nd XI, at Bovey, rain beginning to fall just as the players were ready to commence and continuing without interruption until 4.30. At this time a start was made. Bovey, having won the toss, batted first. W. Pinsent and Rev. Patch opened the innings, the former showing some lack of enterprise, allowing a lot of loose balls to go unpunished. Upon Coniam joining the rev.

They then found parish lands, Gilberd’s almshouses, Bickford’s gift, Hayman’s gift and Bearne’s gift and the feoffees had administration of most of these.

Newcastle Evening Chronicle: Wednesday 9th June 1909

Charity Organizations and the Feeble-Minded: The annual Conference of the Charity Organization Societies opened at Worcester. Mr. A. F. Twidgold read a paper on the Report of the Royal Commission on the Feeble-Minded.  He said from an economic aspect the present methods of care and control were far from satisfactory, while, on the grounds of humanity further measures were urgently needed. At present, the proper classification of mentally defective persons was impossible. He approved of the recommendations of the Commission, and replying to possible objections, said that though there would be certain initial expenses, in the long run it was more expensive to neglect than to care for the feebleminded.
