Merioneth's Opportunity.
Merioneth's Opportunity. The fatal fortnight is up to-day, when the county of Merioneth gives its answer to the Board of Education. We had hoped that the forces of diplomacy had prevented an open conflict, and that Merioneth's rally to the na- tional flag meant that it was safe from the muzzle of the Government's paltry "big gun." With visions of "concordats" and agreements about, we had hoped to see the moderate men of boih parties putting their heads together to find the middle way of peace, and the more as this miuuie way is not an impossibility, given men divested of prejudices to set about the finding. We had hoped also that the mighty religious awakening would have helped the tide of events towards this end. And we are not without hope that it will even now. This matter of settling the reli- gious question in Wales will not be finally solved until the partisans agree to acknow- ledge of themselves the rights of others. An attempt at solution by the Tory Government has admittedly intensified the intolerable situation. Similarly, an attempt by the next Liberal Government will undoubtedly deepen the bitter feelings manifested by the extrem- ists of the Church party. Not until the fac- tions agree to seek, in a desire for peace and equity, that middle way, that many believe to be possible, will the best interests of educa- tion and religion be secured. There can be no doubt of Merioneth's an- swer to-day, nor can there be doubt that all Wales will echo it and prepare to stand by the chosen county. This is not inconsistent with the desire for peace. For it would be a dishonourable peace .at would be based on the acceptation of injustice. Wales is en- titled, n.-W, is compelled, to stand for its prin- ciples. Twice flouted by the Government, it now must, in order to save its self-respect, answer the challenge manfully, and fight to win. If the counties are to be taken piece- meal, none better for the purpose than Mer- ioneth could he chosen to commence with. The stupidity of the Government in this re- spect, as Mr Lloyd George remarked on Sunday, is really stupendous. There are counties in Wales that one would, perhaps, be chary of backing for a long resistance, and it might have been thought that the Board of Education would have sought one whose de- fence-, gave signs of being shaky. But Mer- ioneth,—that most solid rock in all Wales! Either Mr Morant has but a poor opinion of its grit, or he is pining for excitement. We can well understand the quiet confidence that reigned at the meeting in London when the final details of the plan of resistance were arranged. In no other county could the second stage of the Welsh national plan of campaign be put in operation with such eom-1 plete success. The signal to open the chapels as schools and to show that the men of Mer- ioneth have as much real regard for elemen- tary as for secondary education will be waited for with avidity, and obeyed with joy. More, there can be no question of the rigid sustain- ing of the defence,—the Merionethshire peo- ple will be able to give the present Govern- ment many points in the trial of strength. For they measure not with years any effort to defend the right. They will know also that the whole of Wales, not to mention Noncon- formist England, will be ready with succour, and that they will not be al,one in the fight. We can afford to look to the prospect with unanimity, for it is a struggle for justice, and right must triumph. -0_4
NOTES OF TftE WEEK.j
NOTES OF TftE WEEK. Th^ present position of nursing in Eng- land makes it bad for the public and also for the nurse. At the present time all the facts (save the "Hospital") go to prove that the majority of the nurses who are sup- plied to the public have not obtained a three years' certificate from a recognieed nurse-training school. Of course the larger proportion of such nurses have been en- gaged in nursing for a number of years, and they may or may not have, acquired good knowledge of their duties and be in fact qualified to discharge them. These women have to live, and the knowledge of this fact has led many persons to exploit such norsee by establishing so-called homes or agencies which supply the public. The law courts have occasionally thrown some light on the profits made by the larger of these estab- lishments which have proved to be very aon- siderable. These profits, which ought of course to be shared with the nurses, are often retained by the proprietors, because the type of nuree we refer to hes never had e,n opportunity to put herself right in a pro- fessional senoe by passing an examination and obtaining a certificate which would qualify her to work under a nurses' so- operation or in some public establishment where the name is justly and properly treated. The nurses referred to must ob- tain work in sufficient quantity to maintain themselves, and, being it may he without connection or influence, they readily faJJ into the hands of the private adventure agencies and homes, which often make con- siderable profits at their expense. The evils and injustice of this state of aff:iirs do not end with the fleecing of the nurses- The proprietors of such establish- ments in the ordinary course of business offer nurses to the public and extend their connec- tion as much as possible. To meet the dø- mnild thus created they frequently take 80- called nurses who may have had little or no training, a proceeding which is unjust to the ( 0 better qualified nurses, because it must cause I the public and the medical practitioners to be often dissatisfied, and to regard all connected with such an agency as suspect, inefficient, or unworthy. Hence the necessity for a system wirch would compel all nurse agencies and homes to he registered. A proper system of registration under the County Councils, for instriice, would insure that proper registers C, should be kept of the nurses employed, their training and qualifications, and of the eases, with the name of the nurse sent to each, and any material particulars relating to it. They would be under the inspection of the registra- tion authorities, and would have to conduct the;r business in such a way as to protect the public and the nurse from many of the abuses which at present attach to both. Evidence of the old fault of the Welsh peo- ple,-—ignoring hygiene—is to hand again. this time in the report of the Dolgeljoy medical officer. Dr Hugh Jones. He has no hesitation in putting the high death-rate down to the "small badly-ventilated dweljing- hou-;ps" of the neighbourhod, and to the people's neglecting to let into their rooms the fresh air and sunshine by opening doors and ¡ windows. He says that people "seem to have a dread of fresh air." As a matter of fact, they do dread it. The reason why they do not dread the consequences of stuffy badly- ventilated rooms is that they have yet to lean t from experience that tubercular germs flourish in such an atmosphere, and the pos- sibility of sickness is too remote to be feared. An open window, on the other hand, produces something tangible in the shape of a draught, which forms a. convenient peg upon which to ham; all and any ailments that enter the hou>e. As Dr Hugh Jones points out, it is by means of the rising generation that reform must, be brought about. The older genera- tion will never distinguish between draughts and fresh air. There is a general feeling of regret that Archdeacon Edrnondes should have refused the Bishopric of Landaff. When his name was first mentioned, it was averred that ho knew no Welsh, and that his appointment would be :1 sign that Mr Balfour was thinking of returning to the Anglicising policy of Wal- pole and the Whigs. But the archdeacon de- serves a better report. He is a We'shman born, preaches in both languages, and is in complete sympathy with Wolsh national movements. The latest rumour is that the Bishop of Bangor may be translated. How is this to be "construed?"
BANGOR NOTES.
BANGOR NOTES. (By HILARION). Mae John Hughes wedi myned! Who that knew him did not like—almost love him? In every phase of life,—a3 a friend, as an opponent, as a mere acquaintance, he was one whom to know in either capacity was to respect and esteem. He was no man's enemy, not even his own, and was in- clinod to be all men's friend. Genial, kind- hearted, and just. he was a good man to know however you took him. He was prin- cipled, and would fight for h'6 principles to the bitter end, but in doing so he was never bitter, and never by word or deed wilfully hurt those who differed with him in his views of things political, religious or social. He was persona grata alike in the County Council, and on the Magisterial Bench. Oa the latter, especially, I U6ed to think he appeared to great advantage, for he dealt as much there in equity as in justice. Many a poor wretch in unavoidable trouble at the courts has had, though unknown to them, the benefit of a kindly interpretation of the law put forward by John Hugh s. On the other hand no occupant of the Bench, which he adorned had a more decided abhorenee of mere cant and humbug in a diiinquent or more decidedly "set on" such cant. In a rough and homely way he fre- quently exhibited true suaviter in modo, and never flinched when required to display the fortiter in re. He WAS a type of Welsh- man of whom one c-ould w sh there were moro. In C'ourt I firmly believe he dealt with each case on its merits, and literally ful- filled the oath he took on taking h'a seat of; a J.P., irrespective of the position or quality of the person before him. I think, mysn»lf, he never got over the loss of his wife, and I, frequently meeting and convers- ing with him, coultT plainly 6ee tokens of the gallant struggle the man within him was making against the heartbreaking effects of that blow. With her by his side. he would probably still have been amongst us hearty, cheery, and kind. As it was, I verily believe his heart Tiroke on the death of his wife. And now he has followed her Peace and honour to his memory! I hardly know how to regard the reports which now and again appear in the papers, in connection with the accounts of the Re- vival, of children's prayer meetings. De- spite the fact that children have as much "right," so to speak, as adults to pray ("for of such is the kingdom of heaven"), yet, some- how, it jars on my mind to find a chapel full of children vociferously addressing the AI. mighty. One naturally associates with a mortal's approaches to his Maker reverence, and reverence is a mental attitude, and child- ren, especially in the aggregate, are not usually reverent, and, being children, can scarcely be expected to be reverent in the j sense one requires in an adult. And yet, 1 one remembers that leve is greater than all things, and this probably will be regarded as a qualification on the part of children who hold prayer meetings far outweighing any supposed deficiency of reverence in their supplications. And yet, though a parent (tu institute the only possible comparison) would rejoice to see displays of love towards himself on the part of his children, he would yet, if he were worthy of the name, insist that hili children should treat him with respect, how- ever loving and loveable they might be. And so, I look at it, even children ought to ap- proach the Throne of Grace in a reverent frame of mind. It ought not to be a place to which they could feel they ceuld, as it were. rush pell mell. A prayerful child, at home, in the privacy of family life, or more secretly j still, in his own heart and nature, is a love- able and beautiful object. A crowd of boys or girls vociferating in public, and with an almost inevitable emulation, stereotyped and often fantastic appeals to the Awful Being whom we worship is to me a repulsive spec- tacle, and one which, in my humble opinion, j. ought not to be encouraged. "Lo, God is here, let us adore. And own how dreadful is this place. "Lot all within us feel His power, And silent bow before His face; His power who know, His grace who prove, Serve tErn with awe, with reverence love runs the fine old Wesleyan hymn. Can that frame of mind be expected from an 1113- chaperoned and unguided crowd of children? Are such services likely to inculcate rever- ence for the Almighty? Are they not rather calculated to promote a flippant and even im- pudent familiarity with the most sacred things and emotions of our being? I am afraid the latter is the more likely result of these children's prayer meetings, and there- fore I, personally, would not encourage them. I was walking through Hirael last night. On Beach road I met a gang of boys, about half- a-dozen. They were singing a sentimental concert ballad. In Ambrose street I met an- other gang of boys. They were singing one of the popular Revival hymns; but they sang it to the accompaniment of leaps and jumps and steps, and with just the kind of gusto that they would have sung a comic song. There was no trace of reverence or love or feeling at all. It was simply the joyous trolling out of a catchy tune to sacred words. No blame to the children, mind you. They knew no better, though, doubtless, they had taken part in children's processions and even in children's prayer meetings during the week. But clearly nothing they had learnt, there, or anywhere else, had impressed on their young minds the profound import of the words they were so joyously and carelessly carolling in the Hirael streets.
-..----MUSICAL NOTES.
MUSICAL NOTES. A (Itwt by Mme. Clara Butt and Mr Ken- nedy Rumford, at Bradford, was brought to a premature close owing to the intrusion of a cat, which appeared suddenly on the plat- form and mingled its top notes with those of the singers. What are known as the Maidstone Violin Classes are rapidly increasing in connection with the elementary spho'ols in North Wales. Large classes are being instructed in Rhyl, Llandudno, Wrexham, Festiniog, Carnar- von, Bangor, and other towns. It is inter- esting to &ee bands of schoolboys from ten to twelve years of age, each carrying his fiddle case, and proceeding to school for his weekly lesson upon the imitation "Strad," which his parents are purchasing for him by instalments of a few pence per week. The idea of encouraging the youngs- ters to take up the study of the instrument during their school days originated in Maid- stone hence the name gi ven to the classes. So extensively has the notion been taken up that one firm alone has supplied 60,000 fiddles to children in various parts of Eng- land. Since the clasoes were started in Wales they have become very popular, and in Wrexham alone upwards of 400 juvenile violinists are receiving lessons. The most interesting feature, from a musical point of view at the Welsh nation il festival held in St. Paul's Cathedral on S:. David's eve. says the London correspondent of the Manchester Guardian," was a ne v anthem, Sing to God," composed by Mr T. Wastlake-Morgan, the organist of Bangor Cathedral.—a characteristic and expressi\e production. The interpolated solo for a bass voice was excellently rendered by Mr Han Price, of Westminster Abbey. In the Magnificat, a vocal quartette, led by Mr Seth Hughes, formerly of Bangor, sang well.
CARDIFF AND THE NATIONAL MUSEUM.
CARDIFF AND THE NATIONAL MUSEUM. It is stated that the Cardiff Corporation has offered a site, worth £ 20,000, for the erection of a national museum for Wales. The Council also voted £ 2000 for the main- tenajace of the museum and the sum of £1000 a year towards defraying the expenses of a library. I The executors of the late Mr James Pvke Thompson, of Cardiff, have offered a second £ 3000 to the building fund in the event of the Welsh National Museum being located in Cardiff, and providing that they receive an assurance that the museum will be opened on Sundays. On Monday the Mayor of Cardiff issued an appeal for a fund of £50,000 to be provided by public subscriptions.
A STRANGE INCIDENT AT BANGOR.
A STRANGE INCIDENT AT BANGOR. On Sunday last, whilst the congregation of the Barea C.M. Chapel was leaving the edifice, a horseman, who was riding through Glaaadda, dismounted, and, explaining that he was the "good Samaritan" mentioned in the Bible, commenced to address the wor- shippers, basing his remarks on the character of "Job." By a curious coincidence, Job, the well-known Welsh preacher, happened to be engaged at the Berea Chapel on Sunday, and formed one of the throng who were listening to the horseman, who took great pains to explain that he did not receive R300 for each of his sermons. After delivering an incoherent address, the strange horseman rode off. indignantly refusing a cup of tt-a. offered by some kindly soul.
