Subject:-Police supervision over school property
at South Broken Hill.
Sir,
I have the honor to report that the Public school
referred to in attached communication is situate close
to the Police Station, South Broken Hill, where Sergeant
Manns resides, The sergeant has with him two constables
for carryin.0; out police duties in this part of the City,
extra police are sent from the Central station when
necessity arises.
Unfortunately offences by children, some of them
of tender age, are, and have been prevalent here, and
Forwarlel for infor- SoulBroken Hill children appear to be the worst in
the City.
During the past few years a large number of
Illation of tne Unler- children have been brought before the Childrens Court
who were guilty of having committed some serious offence,
Secre ta iy Department shop breaking, arson, larcenies, and so forth. A considerOf Puolic Instruction ablenumber of the offenders have from time to time been
handed over to the Department for Neglected Children,and
sent to Sydney.

Nearly all of the offences referred to by Mr Cooke
were committed by children attending his school, or
resident in the vicinity, and the number of Police station(
at South Broken Hill would scarcely have any beaming on
on their prevention, when the circumstances, and tender
gage of the culprits are taken into consideration.
In my opinion the number of police (3) stationed at
South Broken Hill is ample for present requirements;
apart from the representations now made by Mr Cooke,
have received no complaints from residents. I am
orry to have to say that all over the City the use of
bad language is very rife, notwithstanding the large
number of offenders brought before the Court and very
eavily fined for this offence. South Broken Hill is no
se in this regard than other parts.
As regards the large number of offences committed
by young children , I am inclined to think that the
suggestions brought under their observation through the
medium of picture shows is to a large extent responsible.
Otherwise the cunning and skill displayed by mere children
in the carrying out of some of the larcenies could scarcely
be accounted for.
