Physician's Prescriptions THE OPENING OF THE North London Collegiate School for Girls. Camden Town and the surrounding neighbourhood was, as might have been expected, completely en fête, upon the occasion of the opening of the North London Collegiate Schools for Girls, by the Prince and Princess of Wales, on the 18th ult. By the politeness of the Rev. A. J. Buss, we are enabled to give a portrait of his indefatigable and accomplished sister, under whose management these schools for girls have attained such high distinction and patronage. It is not in our province to give an ordinary report of this important ceremony, but the following biographical notice of the Head Mistress and founder of the schools, and outline of their history, will, we trust, be perused by many of our subscribers with pleasure and pride : RANCES MARY BUSS was born in London on the FBANG of August, 1827. She is the daughter of the late Mr. R. W. Buss, an artist well known by his popular works, and more especially through his connection with Charles Knight, as he designed many of the illustrations for "Old England," the "Penny Magazine," and Knight's edition of Shakespeare. Miss Buss was educated at a school ENTERED AT STATIONERS' HALL. in the Hampstead Road, where several of the pupils were, like herself, daughters of artists and engravers. At this school she continued for some years as assistant, and during this time she attended lectures at Queen's College, and gained several certificates. The North London Collegiate School for Girls was originally started in Kentish Town by Miss Buss and her mother, the Science and Art Section being superintended by Mr. Buss. In 1850, it was removed to Camden Street, where it assumed a more public character, under the honorary supervision of, the Rev. David Lang, M.A., and it steadily increased in numbers until, in 1870, it contained above 200 pupils. In 1863, the members of the Schools Inquiry Commission invited Miss Buss, with several other ladies, to give evidence on the state of girl's education. From this fact arose the suggestion that the Collegiate School should be placed on a permanent footing, and with this object in view, Lord Lyttelton presided over a public meeting at the St. Pancras Vestry Hall in the autumn of 1870, at which the opening of the Camden School was announced, two members of the Commission (the Rev. A. W. Thorold, M.A., and John Storrar, Esq., M.D.) joined the Trustees. The difficulties in the way of carrying out the intended movement were, however, of a serious nature. Hitherto little effort had been made to remove the prejudice against public schools for girls, and the possibility of failure had to be faced by the promoters of the new scheme. It was at length deemed advisable to lower the fees, in order to meet the wants of a large section of the middle class, who were either unable or unwilling to pay the very moderate fees that had been first agreed upon. Miss Buss very generously surrendered the furniture and school plant which she had in Camden Street, and re-opened her own school at 202, Camden Road, under its old name of the North London Collegiate School for Girls. The Camden School, with its lower scale of fees, was placed under another Head Mistress, but Miss Buss was appointed Honorary Superintendent. In harmony with the schemes of the Endowed Schools Commissioners, the fees of these two schools were arranged to meet current expenses only, apart from those of buildings or rent. But in view of the remarkable success attending an appeal for the education for boys from the Rev. William Rogers-one single meeting resulting in a subscription of £40,000, afterwards increased to £70,000-Miss Buss and her friends confidently looked for as much public support as would supply suitable school buildings. Appeals were accordingly made through the press by Mrs. William Grey, and other well known advocates of the better education of girls; and a paper by Miss Ridley, read at a drawing-room meeting, February 15th, 1871, at the house of Mr. Robins, the present architect of the Trust, was afterwards printed and circulated privately, bringing many valuable friends to the schools, who, both in public and private, left no means untried to secure for the girls of the middle classes some measure of the help so liberally accorded to their brothers. This paper was followed in 1872, by Miss Mary Gurney's interesting |
