One child's experience of school was not too positive! Sheffield Independent 2nd June 1911 page5 The 12 year old boy of George Collier of 12 Clarence Street, Sheffield, whose disappearance on 28th April was announced by the Sheffield Independent has been discovered at Todmorden. The boy answering Colliers description was taken into custody for wandering abroad without a proper guardian and the Sheffield police authorities advised Mrs Collier to go over and see the lad who had given the name of Reed. She returned yesterday bringing her son with her looking as though he had had enough of his wandering life. He said that he had been roaming the country since his disappearance, and as a reason for running away from home said that he had been caned by his schoolmaster for going late. He had been late several times because he had been out delivering papers, his father being out of work. Glenn Piper researching PIPER-UK. Sheffield 1911 newspapers on cd/dvd.
