Pinsent (chairman) in reporting to the Winchester City Education Committee on his visit to a national conference of education committees at Cardiff. He said it appeared from the conference that there was a good deal of support amongst the various authorities for raising the leaving age, but diversity of opinion existed as to the possibility of doing it piecemeal.

Ellen Pinsent, formerly chambermaid at the Grand Hotel, Plymouth, said that when the parties stayed there Mr. Paton occupied a bedroom opposite Mrs. Tasker’s. Two- or three-nights Mr. Paton’s bed had not been occupied. She had once seen Mr. Paton coming out of Mrs. Tasker’s bedroom, and thought they were married people. The bed looked as if two people had occupied it. Cross-examined, witness said she did not know that the gentleman some nights went to Torquay. It was about seven in the evening that she saw the gentleman coming out of the bedroom, and Brown gave similar testimony as to the beds. From the appearance of a bed, she could tell how long it had been slept in (laughter). A waiter from the same hotel said he had seen Mr. Paton go into Mrs. Tasker’s room dozens of times about seven o’clock in the evening.

Harvest Thanks-giving Services at Highfield: There were harvest thanksgiving services at Highfield Church on Wednesday, the same day as the Garden and Industrial Exhibition, reported in another column, was held in a tent in a field adjoining the church. In honour of the occasion, the sacred edifice was very tastefully decorated with flowers and the usual other materials brought into requisition on such an occasion, the chancel itself, together with the font, being very prettily adorned, the whole of the embellishments having a pleasing effect. The work was very skillfully executed, under the superintendence of Miss Pinsent, who was ably assisted by the Misses Hughes, Miss Pearson, Miss Johnson, Miss Boughton Smith, etc.  At the morning service the sermon was preached by the Rev.
