Neither does it give him a correct taste in or- chids, or art, or manners, or even in per- sonal habits and cleanliness. You can easily expect too much from conversion. DISGUSTED."—There is room for the black- mailer everywhere. I know. People are afraid, and they are afraid of admitting that they are afraid. is not the only 'thing that should begin at home, but should not stop there. ELECTOR."—Jealousy is not a strong enough word to dascribe the condition. Yes, Lord Kendel knows. I daresay Lloyd- G.orge also knows. LAMPETER."—Blessed is lie that does not want anything for he shall not be dis- appointed THE INDIFFERENT WORLD. All that I had I cast into the world With no restraint and no reservation Of any kind whatever. So time passed. The world was not grateful or ungrateful. It cared not for me nor for what I gave, But went unheeding on its endless way, While I stood reft of all that once was mine- An outcast f.mong those I sought to help. That is the story which I have to tell Of wasted labour, effort thrown away. I gave ungrudging all I had to give But not a soul was better for the gift; Or so it seemed to me, and I was sad, Joy flickered out and all my world was dark. After a while, I saw the sun still shone, The sky and moon and stars were not less bright. The birds sang just as joyously in spring And children laughed and shouted as before. Then it came home to me that in my pride I had expected pay for what I gf,ve. Thus I was taught the truth I sought to teach And all I thought was lost again was mine. TOO DREADFUL TO CONTEMPLATE. Lloyd-George says that the chance of being a pupil teacher was offered to him and that if he had taken it he might have become a curate. He says that he might have climbed to College and then to Lam- peter and, who knew, he might have been a bishop by now! I feel quite giddy at the mere prospect. The Bishop of St Asaph says that two years ago he hoped the education diffi- culty would have been settled. I suppose that hope is dead. His own side foolishly did not then want a settlement. I did not think that the bishops and clergy in Wales would have given Welsh Nonconformists the opportunity which has been given to raise the disestablishment movement, and, therefore, I rather thought a settlement would be reached. Personally, I am willing to pay rates to teach anybody's religion to their own child- ren, but the Church of England, unfortu- nately, wants much more than this. It wants teiichers to be members of the Church of England and it wants to teach all child- ren Church of England doctrines whose parents are not so definitely Nonconformist as to take them out of the schools while religion is being taught. This is a vain desire. I was in the education battle in 1870 and afterwards and I remember the fuss then made about tha twenty-fifth clause. The Church made mistakes then and is net only reaping some of the consequences now, but is making fresh and more serious mistakes. The rank and file of the people are daily being taught to feel hatred and contempt for organized religion. The time is near at hand when the Established Church will be swept out of the way as far as its State connection and endowments are concerned. The people are no longer afraid of priests £ .nd uo not dread the future that follows death as they dreaded it even fifty years ago. For three years, I have watched the pre- sent education trouble grow and it. seems to me that it has not by any means yet come to a head. The Church, I daresay, is de- pending on the House of Lords. Well, the Church Establishment- and the House of Lords may both fall together. If the Socialists one- get hold of as good a case against the House of Lords as Welsh Nonconformists have got against- the Es- tablished Church, there will be sudden and drastic charges in Church and State. In these days, the political pace is much mere rapid than it was in ine sixties and seventies. The people know more even if they do not reason more accurately, and once a movement is started against the pre- sent system of national and ecclesiastical government, something will have to be done at oaice-or a place like London, with its six millions of people, may get out of hand. The Church disestablishment movement in Wales is growing rapidly-very, rapidly- and although Lloyd-George does not say much about it, he has probably seen that there is such a movement afoot. I sit in a quiet. place and watch the trend of events. Every day there is some slight shifting of the human pawns. The great game goes on and I, apart, watch it with interest. Where archbishops, cabinet ministers, bishops, and premiers are misled is in not realising that crowds—popula- tions—do not proceed logically. Any day there may arise a man-a political re- vivalist—who will force the hands of Church and State and even shake the tnrone which ecclesiastical and aristocratic blundering imperils. The churches have put religion into the melting pot and it strikes me that they will be surprised when they see what comes out of it, but the coming out will not be yet, nor even when the Education Act has been amended, but afterwards. TOO MUCH. I can stand nearly anything about the ridiculous Merionethshire lights, especially since the se&ress has been presented with a testimonial, but that a chapel has been set on fire at Llanbedr in Merioneth by the mysterious lights is too much. Here is the newspaper statement:—"The cause of the fire, which originated in the roof, is attri- buted by some to the mysterious Merioneth lights, which are said to have been seen on many occasions playing about the building." If a public house, or a ball room, or a Sun- day travelling motor-car had been set ablaze by the lights, I would have said nothing, but a chapel is too much. b' A DREADFUL PROSPECT. Everybody is talking or writing about getting back to the land. I hear from America that there is no prospect for man but work on thé!' laud owing to the com- petition of women in all the spheres of life where skill and learning are required. By the end of this century, man will be a pitiful minority and women will rule every- thing. I shall not be here at the close of this century, but I am sorry for my great- great grandchildren. As far as is known at present women cannot go on multiply- ing absolutely alone. When men are so scarce that there are about twelve women for one man, will not the men have a good time? I do not believe that in those days men will be agricultural labourers. Women will be too afraid of men's total disappear- ance to leave them to work in the fields. Well, whatever becomes of man generally at the end of this century, I shall have disappeared, so his final disappearanta need not trouble me. My own private opinion is that man will survive, but that is a mere opinion, -J HOW SHOCKING. I The Rev. R. J. Campbell has been writ- ing a letter about the National Co-operative Slate Quarries in which he says that the venture can only succeed if to other things can be added a fair amount of capital. I am shocked that this reverend gentle- man does not know that capital is itself a crime, and that the great aim of all the would-be leaders of working men, such as Mr. Keir Hardie, are seeking the total destruction of capital, as the iaLaj. foe of the working man. The Rev. R. J. Campbell surely does not realize what a; horrible state of things will result when, as he evidently hopes, the working man everywhere becomes his own capitalist. Perhaps, after all, it was as I suspected, the howlers against Lord Penrhyn as a capitalist were only anxious to uivide his capital among themselves! How shocking! WHAT I ENJOY. There is nothing in politics. I enjoy so | much as to hear the Conservative who is J clinging to office denouncing the Liberal's greed for it. A GREAT CHANCE. At Weymouth, the other day, the Bishop of London spoke at a great meeting of work- ing men. The Bishop of Salisbury presided. A London clergyman said that they must become a great body of social reformers if they were to make the progress they should. They must throw themselves heart and soul into every movement in England to upliit those who were down trodden." My experi- ence of the churches is that they leave social reform to individuals like myself. Take the Cemetery, I have had no help from the churches. Indeed, as I once told a promin- ent member of the ministerial profession on a notable occasion, the work of attending to the physical and social improvement of the people is left mainly to the outcasts of the churches. Well, I am with Jim of the Prairie Bell: He'd seen his duty, a dead sure thing, And went for it thar and then And Christ ain't agoing to be too hard On a man that died for men. The world is a very sad place in some of its aspects. LIFE'S LIST. Cheers and hisses, Hits and misses, Woes and blisses, Snarls and kisses: Life's list this is! CHEAP FUN. One of my enjoyments is reading old jokes in up-to-date newspapers. There is a long list of -them and I am thinking of collecting them for my grandchildren who will then be able to laugh appropriately when they come round years and years hence. On Wednes- day last, a Manchester daily gave that very ancient story of the footman who was asked by his master to bring with him the (visiting) cards and he took a pack of playing cards and left one at each house where they called until he had nothing left but the ace of spades. THE MARVELS OF THE WOULD. By sinking a bell in the sea and ringing it the sound can be heard on a vessel nine or ten miles away. This is nnly one of recent wonderful discoveries. Rontgen rays, which enable the inside of a body to be seen, and wireless telegraphy which enable messages to he sent hundreds of miles, are equally wonder- ful. Fifty years ago men were afraid that the mysteries of the universe would be fathomed. There is no fear of that kind now. Every revelation is a revelation of still more pro- found mystery. Every living creature is a bundle of marvels and nobody is afraid that the secrets of the universe will all be un- ravelled and laid bare. One of my constant enjoyments is to take careful note of the mar- vellous differences in creatures that apparently live on the same food and are subjected to the same conditions, but are yet distinctly different in all sorts of ways. The world is very interesting if you do not want some- thing that it does not contain—a scheme, for instance, for getting the better of the next generation but one. The Coast. J.G.

UNIVERSITY COLLEGE OF WALES, ABERYSTWYTH. INAUGURAL ADDRESS BY PROFESSOR HENRY JONES. The College session after the summer vaca- tion was resumed on Wednesday with an in- creased number of students and in the even- ing the inaugural address was delivered in the Examination Hall by Professor Henry Jones, Glasgow, formerly member of the Col- lege staff. He at present occupies the chair of moral philosophy in the University of Glasgow and is- a" fellow of the British Academy. There was a crowded attendance of students full of vigour on their return from holidays and townspeople. The subject of the address was The Function of the Uni- versity in the State." On the appearance of the Lecturer, Sir John Williams, Principal Roberts, and members of the College staff, the students indulged in their accustomed cheering and shouting Principal Roberts, who presided, said he was glad to recall the fact that Professor Henry Jones began his career as a teacher of philosophy at Aberystwyth and Bangor, but had been called to a country which had preceded Wales in intellectual discipline and he had fulfilled his office in a way that had added new lustre to the fame of his native land. (Cheers.) The University of Wales had delighted to honour him and in so doing had honoured itself and Aberystwyth rejoiced to welcome him. They admired his gifts, his writings, and the enthusiasm which he wag able to bring to bear upon his subject and to impart it to his pupils, and above all for his love of his native land which time only made deeper. (Cheers.) No wonder that that was so, for it was Wales that directed his brilliant powers to the highest things, had given him courage, breadth, and faith to deal with the greatest problems of life and conduct in such a way as to be an inspiration to the great mass of the commu- nity. (Cheers). In the course of his address, Professor Henry Jones, who was cordially received, said that the British Empire as it stood now was slow to remedy social evils, was insensitive to many wrongs, did very little to foster tem- perance, was almost helpless to house the poor or to care for needy age. It was spend- thrift in things that made for material great- ness and meagrei of means to enlighten the public mind. It endured injustice at home and was sometimes, he believed, aggressive abroad. If he looked broadly at the legisla- tive aims of to-day, he should find it exceed- ingly difficult to find them great or generous. Nevertheless, with all the errors which dis- figured it, the State was the noblest work of man. In the State were held together the struggling ends and purposes of millions of men. The State was the shelter of all the institutions that gave meaning and mission to their lives. It protected whatever was of good report and even inspired it. To de- stroy the State was to pull down the temple of national life. The imperfections detected in the State were nothing less than its criti- cisms of itself and their effort to rise the State was its own attempt to reach the higher level of life. (Cheers.) Dealing with the relations of the University to the State. ho said that the work of the University as a whole would be better done and a broader and better balanced view taken of its func- tion if it was realised that the purposes of the. University was the supreme aim of ful- filling the need of fitting men for the role of good citizens. (Cheers.) He drew a moral from the signal success of the methods in Germany in higher education. If the British people were destined to lose its position as chief of industrial nations, which was not at all unlikely, it was the organized system of research in those higher institutions and the great belief shown bv the great industrial captains of Germany that would introduce J their fate. This could be met by the State throwing its power into the understakings and amongst them that of higher education. The University occupied as a matter of fact a peculiar position in the State, one which they might almost call a position of exemp- tion, but he feared that one of its elements, the idea of research was neglected in this country as compared with Germany. The research element was practically forgotten in Wales. There was at present no one endowed with leisure and means to carry out great research. The attention of the University had been concen- trated upon teaching duties, which were equally important, but he should not like to bear the duty of pressing further back their ignorance of those matters. The University was not a university in the true sense of the term unless it was a centre of research and investigation. (Cheers.) It was a. great pity, for instance, that college work should be encroached upon by July and September. Who was going in Wales to stand as a re- presentative of the highest learning unless it be men who occupied tho-se positions? It was part of the essential work of the Uni- versity to conduct research in scientific and literary matters. He was led to believe that they would see in thefuture the transfer of the voluntary effort in support of higher edu- cation to the State, as had been the case with regard to elementary education. The State required good citizens and could provide means of developing character by continuous education. There was no distinction in prin- ciple between elementary and the most ad- vanced education in regard to the State. The functions of the University and element- ary schools differed in extent, but not in in- trinsic character; and as the State had recognised the importance of taking element- ary education into its own hands, it should also take over the University and abolish the artificial distinction. The prime duty of the loaders of opinion at present was to bring the public to see that taxation in support of higher education was as legitimate as for elementary education and the army and navy. If Wales had die power, as it had the will, one of its first legitimate acts would be to place its colleges on proper national basis and equip them for a wider national service than they c)uld fulfil in present circumstances. (Cheers.) He offered praise to the people of Wales for more than they had done they could not do in the time, but, nevertheless, the colleges were inadequately equipped at present. He could not answer for Aberyst- wyth, but Bangor and Cardiff colleges were practically homeless and their principals were condemned to collect funds. Their staffs were incomplete, ill-paid, and over-burdened with too much teaching. To deal with that difficulty, Wales should ask and be permitted to make its institutions for higher learning its own in a deeper and fuller sense. to make them the direct object of its national responsibility and the most useful instru- ment of a better and larger life. (Hear, hear.) There were other national needs and it was not only learning that claimed their reverence, but the educational accomplish- ments of Wales in the past was a, sufficient guarantee that Wales would not abuse such a power if granted to them. (Loud ap- plause.) In the absence cf Lord Rendel, president of the College, Sir John Williams proposed a vote of thanks to Professor Henry Jones whose address, he said should be an inspira- tion to the students and should produce fruit —men of courage, thought, who would become leaders in Wales. (Cheers.) Professor Brough seconded the proposition, ivhich was carried, and Professor Henry Jones having responded, the meeting concluded.

LAMPETER Larceny.—Before Joseph Davies and A. R. T. Jones, Esqrs., on Wednesday, John Mason, Plymouth, and Annie Williams, Swansea, pedlars, were brought up in custody charged, the former with stealing 3s 6d from Gwastod, Llanwenog, and the latter with receiving the money, well knowing them to have been stolen.—Rachel Oliver, Gwastod, gave evidence of seeing the defendant Mason coming out of her house which she had left for a few minutes to go to a neighbour's house. The woman defendant- was stand- ing on the roadway opposite the house. She identified the sixpences produced in Court because of marks on them caused by there having been in her pockets which contained sweets. She missed the money from the table.—P.C. Joseph Jones proved arresting the prisoners at Llanybyther and finding fourpence in coppers on Mason and two sixpenny pieces and five pence in coppers on Williams. Both defendants denied the charges.—Margaret Ha nnah Davies, Gwrdy Arms, Llanybyther, swore that Annie Williams had changed a two-shilling piece' at her mother's house and identified the two-shilling piece in Court.— Both defendants vehemently protested their innocence and gave evidence on their own behalf, and one as witness for the other. Williams absolutely denied changing a two- shillin piece a.t Gwrdy Anns. Both elected to be dealt with summarily.—The Bench con- victed both and committed them to prison for a month each with hard labour.

BARMOUTH, Honours Certificate.—The following certi- ficates have been gained by pupils at the County School:—Jane Roberts, Fairbo'Urne, history of England and Wales and French with conversational power, and senior stage in English language and LItiii; junior cer- tificate, Mary Davies, Harlech, in ten sub- jects, with distinction in English composi- tion, scripture, English historv, arithmetic, Welsh and Latin; Hannah Vavies, Min- ffordd, in ten subjects, with distinction in English language, English literature, Scrip- ture, and Welsh Ei Rosalie Jones, Barmouth, in nine subjects, with distinction in English composition, English language, English lit- erature, Scripture, and history; Geoffrey Shaw Hewins, Baa-mouth, in nine subjects, with distinction in English composition and senior stage history Jennie Roberts, Tal- sarnau, in six subjects; Edward Pugh Parry. Talsarnau, in ten subjects; Elias Robert Williams, Art.hog, in eight subjects; Hugh Davies, Talsarnau, in seven subjects; Wil- liam David Simon, Llanbedr, in seven sub- jects. INTERMEDIATE SCHOOL GOVERNORS, Monday, October 2nd.—Present: Messrs: W. J. Morris, chairman; Hugh Evans, John Davies, the Rev. J. Gwynoro Davies, Mrs Davies, Mrs Edwards, Messrs E D Jones, headmaster; and R Ll. Owen, clerk. Guarantee Bond.—The Clerk presented the guarantee bond for the purpose of enabling those members who had not signed the bond to do so.—As there were no members pre- sent who had not signed, the Clerk was in- structed to deposit it at the bank and to produce it at the next meeting. A Want of Courtesy.—The Clerk stated that he had sent the resolution passed by the Governors reg.arding the Central Welsh Board regulations to the Central Welsh Board, but had received no acknowledgment. —It was stated that the Central Welsh Board did not generally acknowledge com- munications.—The Clerk remarked that he had several times corresponded with the Cen- tral Board, but had never received any ack- nowledgment.—Mr Gwynoro Davies sug- gested that a letter should be sent to the Board stating that the resolution had been sent and expressing a hops that it had been received. The Chairman: You Wl-. have to teach them manners. Mr John Davies: Yes.—The Chairman remarked that the Board showed a lack of courtesy.—The Rev Gwynoro Davies's suggestion was agreed to. The Caretaker.—Two applications were re- ceived for the post of caretaker, viz.. Jane Pugh, St George's, JS17, and Margaret Thomas, Church-place, £17.-0n the pro- positon of Mr Hugh Evans, seconded by Mrs Davies, the application of Margaret Thomas was accept eel. Fiinance.-The Rev. J. Gwynoro Davies remarked that from the Treasurer's book, it appeared that the school was in a much better financial position than it was during the corresponding period last year. The Chairman Very satisfactory. Evening Classes.—A special committ,p,e re- ported t.hat the advisability of establishing evening classes for the teaching of shorthand, chemistry, and other subjects had been con- sidered and it was decided to approach e several Sunday school superintendents in the town with a. view of ascertaining the pro- vable number of pupils who would take ad- vantflge of the classes.—The Rev. J. Gwvn- oro Davies asked if the classes would be held in connection with Aberystwyth College? The Headmaster replied in the negative — The Rev. G. Da vies stated that the reason why he asked the quertio-n was because he had met the Registrar of Aberystwyth Col- lege and from what. he said gave him the impression that a communication had been forwarded to the Governors offering to give a course of lectures on agriculture, etc.—The Clerk remarked that the communication had recently come to hand.—The letter stated that money had been allocated to Barmouth district- for the purpose of holding extention lectures durng the winter. Arrangements for lectures could be made in the following subjects :-Agricultu:r.e, dairying, cheese making, poultry keeping, sick nursing, eto. Lectures could also be given in horticulture, the fee being £10 for a course of fourteen days.—In reply to the Headmaster, Mr John Davies stated that. the fees would be paid by the county.—The Rev. Gwynoro Davies said it occurred to him that two courses of lectures could be given. The school was intended to serve the whole district from Talsarnau to Llwyngwril. A course of lectures, perhaps, would not be acceptable to Barmouth that would be acceptable to the outlying dstricts and vice versa. Would it not be possible to arrange for two courses, one at Barmouth and one at the most cen- tral place, say Llanbedr or Harlech. This would bring the district into closer touch with the work of the County School. If a course would cost £10 only, he thught it would be a shame if another L10 could net be raised for a double course.—Mrs D'avies remarked that cookery would suit Barmouth best.—-Mr John Davies remarked that Bar- mouth had had its share. They ought to have something in the ocunti-y.-The Rev. J Gwynoro Davies stated that if his memory served him right, Barmouth had not had the advantage of the extra allowance from the county. Twice or three times it had been collared by the district, because it had been decided that the courses should be agricultural. —Mr John Davies slaid the lectures had not been appreciated as tiiev ought to have been.—The Chairman agreed. —The Clerk at this juncture read a letter from the County Education Commhcee which stated that a. grant of £ 10 had been made to enable the Governors to make ar- rangements for the holding of lectures in dairying, etc., the lectures being provided by Aberystwyth College.—On the proposition of Mr Hugh Evans, it was eventually agreed to leave the matter to a committee con- sisting of the Rev. Gwynoro Davies, lr. John Davies, Mr Hugh Evans, and Mrs. Edwards. Headmaster's House. A report on the proposed Headmaster's house was discussed in committee, Mr Howard Jones, architect, being present. Cheques.—The Clerk read a letter from the Education Committee enclosing a- cheque for L83 10s 6d in respect of intermediate education and Treasury grant, and also a cheque for £ 200 in respect of the education rate levied under the Education Act, 1902. Advertising the Town.—The Clerk read a letter from the Urban Council stating that the advisability of advertising the town as a winter report had been considered by the Council and asking the Governors to ap- point a committee to meet a committee of the Council to further consider the matter. -On the proposition of Mr John Davies, the Chairman and the Headmaster were ap- pointed a.nd. on the proposition of the Rev. J Gwynoro Davies, the name of Mr John Davies, Dyffryn, was added, the Rev G. Davies remarking that what would be of benefit to the town would be of benefit to the district. Headmaster's Report.—In Bis report, the Headmaster stated that Mr David Jones, Melbourne, Australia, in company with Mr John Evans, had visited the school during his stay in Barmouth and had expressed satisfaction with all he had seen. I

SERIOUS ASSAULT AT BORTH. MARINE ENGINEER AND HIS FATHER. At the Aberystwyth Police Station, yester- day (Thursday) morning, William Rowland Edwards, marine engineer, was brought be- fore B. E. Morgan and J. D Perrott, Esqrs.. on a. charge of assault and battery preferred against him by his father, Rowland Edwards, platelayer, Level Crossing, Borth. Defend- ant's mother and brother were also present. On Monday evening defendant attacked his sister with the gate which was off its hinges and his father also saw him with his hand at her throat. The father tried to loose him, but w -s knocked and kicked about, sustaining nasty injuries on the f-xce and thigk. After that defendant got hold of a gun and tried to shoot, but his father rushed at him and they fought with each other. De- fendant went out and smashed the window, also threatening to kill his father. The father said he was afraid and had to stay that night at another house Replying to the Bench, defendant said he had been on sea. He admitted the offence, but pleaded for leniency. He was willing to leave Borth at once. The Bench considered that it was a grie- vous and aggravating assault and advised de- fendant to keep awav from drink. The case was adjo,urned until the next sessions at Taly- bont, defendant being b >und over to keep the peace meanwhile in the sum of £ 25 and to pay the costs.
