& ————————————. i, FRIDAY, APRIL 28, 100.5. An impracticable Plan. I This week Llandudno is "doing the hon- ours" for North Wales in the matter of ex- tending hospitality to th« <:N. U. T. as our pedagogues affectionately term their National Union. This, we believe, is the first occa- sion upon which the Union has held its annual Conference in North Wal,.q,. As tho several felicitous speeches heard on Monday showed, there are several reasons why the "N. U. T." should come to Wa!-)s, and why Wales should welcome the teachers with open arms, not the least being the fact that "oou. cation" is perhaps equally near and dear to the hearts of both Wales and the Union. Especial interest is attached to the Con- ference this year also on account of the fact that a Welshman sits in the presidential chair for the first time in the history of the N. U. T. As was to be expected the speech from the chair was suitably Cymric in tone, matter, and "fire." Wales needs no better apologist than Mr John, and well did he, in his excellent speech, prove our claims to earnestness of intention and sincerity of motives with regard to education. Unfortunately, there is only one dominat- ing educational topic in Wales, as in Eng- land,at present, and it was only natural that Mr John's address should be devoted in tho main to the burning "religious difficulty." This is no new difficulty in the schoolmaster- ing world. It is many years now since ono of the Conference presidents coined the ex- pre<^ive phrase, "The theologian blocks the way," thus indicating for all time, hitherto, tho chief obstacle on the pr.th of educational progress. The phrase is very applicable at the present, time in Wales,—we have often- times felt its force in this county of Carnar- von, particulary when endeavouring to find a short cut to peace. But it m only lately that the education laws have brought this theo- logical difficulty out in all the glory of its iniquity in Wales. The teachers knew to their cost that it existed before, and they are well qualified to express an opinion on it. Their views have further a practical value, for it is to them that the straightening of the ways must. in the long run, be entrusted. Many a scheme that promises well as con- ceived by an enthusiastic amateur is found to be utterly unsuited to practical ends. A plan designed by those whose daily work is the puttaig of educational plans into practice must obviously possess practical merits. With regard to religious and moral educa- tion, it must-, also be admitted that the teachers have the exceptional advantage of knowing by long experience what broad sys- tem of teaching this subject has the, best euects,—a. point to be considered in view of the admitted fact that the best religious edu. cation is traceable not in the Kchool but in the grown-up world of men and women out. side who have passed through the school. I The scheme outlined by Mr Tom John has t thus many considerations to recommend it. Wo take it that its main lines are tluv em- t bodiment of the N. U.T. policy, and that the great bulk of teachers are agreed at least upon its practical utility. The plan is, in short, to eJitruflt the teachers with the re- sponsibility of giving religious instruction on Christian liues iu all schools, and in addition to give facilities, outside school hours on the Bontnewydd lines, for those who de-sire to have denominational instruction given. As will be seen, the scheme is practically one with that recently passed by the Carnarvon. shire Education Committee, with the differ- once that the N. U. T. seems to demand ac- quiescence ou the part of all teachers while the Carnarvonshire scheme allows some lati- tude. For our part, we could desire that the warld w?re perfect enough for such a scheme to be put in harmonious practice immediately. It would succeed in attaining the object be- yond doubt, and. equally doubtless, it wonld turn out men and women fit to stand with those of the correct dogmatic pattern. It is further a pity, because the great majority of parents, would, we believe, agree to the plan very readily. Put,and this is a big but,— the schemo is not practicable under the pre- sent conditions ;:cntil all agree to it, and there is a. very considerable section,—"minority" nevertheless,—that will never agree. Take, for instance, the Welsh Bishops and their minions. They will nevir concede, that Biblical instruction given by a Nonconformist teacher can equal the Biblical instruction given by a Church teacher. The Catholic priests also will laugh the suggestion to scorn. For them, agreement with the scheme would be tantamount to admitting that all the roads to heaven do not neces- sarily pass through Rome. We know of a wry sturdy section of Nonconformists also who will never agree to placing religious education,—even the most innocuous brand, on the rates v. hile there is a growing body of nonconformists (with a small "n") who would be aetive resiaterfi ever to the notion of either paying for "religious" education or for allowing their children to be taught in it. Now however desirable a. scheme might be to the majority, the existence of any such objections to it as the above-mentioned must necessarily weaJsen its claims. Some arc already despairing of agreement and are rushing to secular education pure and simple as only way of escape. Wo confess to a strong feeling of sympathy with thfm, but here again there is small chance of agree- ment. But wiiat is to prevent leaving the religious education altogether to the churchy? Let the denominations agree upon certain hours before school hours, and bring their influence to lx-nr thus directly ou thone who'{> care ought to bo their first consideration. The teachers woul dthen be free of all responsibility in the matter, and the ratepayer would be also relieved of the injustice that will always follow the placing of any religious teaching on the rates.
Notes of the Week. *
Notes of the Week. Cabiuct-makinji, is now a favourite pastime, and any aids to the business are welcomo. Mr T. P. O'Connor has been drawing npon his long Parliamentary experience for material, and the following- observations of his should be of interest to those electors of the Carnarvonshire Boroughs who are busy at it:— One of the difficulties for many years of the Liberal Party is that. it has been so long out of office that the oldei men were getting 9 too old and that, the young men had never had the prestige of official position. This will be remedied after the Ilext Cabinet has been formed. For that Cabinet will un- doubtedly be fortified by having in its ranks some men young in years and ia the full zenith of their physical and intellectual strength. The. first to bb mentioned, of course, in that younger generation is Mr Lloyd George. I have known few men in my Parliamentary experience who have matured as years have gone to such an extent and with such rapidity as Mr Lloyd George. When he entered the House of Commons first he showed very little signs of that great ora- torical power which he has since revealed. To-day he is one of the most powerful and one or the most popular speakers on the plat- form. I remember standing beside him on a platform in his constituency some fifteen years ago, and then he struck me as an earnest rather than as a, powerful speaker. But to-day he is a mastei in both the speak- ing of the House of Commons and of the plat. form. He always brings a large audience, and before he has been many minutes on his legs you see the ranks of his own party laughing, cheering, seething with excitement; an effect which only a great speaker is able to produce. Similarly, on the platform no man can rou-e better or more quickly than he a vast audience to a whirlwind of passion and exeitemeut. There is one quality above all others which I ha-s helped Mr Lloyd George to securo the position to which his intellectual gifts en- I titled him, and that is his extraordinary political courage. It would be far too late in the day, and far outside the limits of such an article as this in such a journal as mine ("M. A. P."), to discuss the merits or demerits of the controversy over the war in South Africa; it must suffice for me to say that it was a moment that tried men's souls. In the midst cf it all Mr Lloyd George never for a moment abated the expression of his views. Ha began by being uncompromising; he remained uncompromising to the last mo- ment. He lost influence, he lost money, he lost popularity by adopting this course, and at Birmingham he very nearly lost hig life. But he went straight on, with tho result that j even those who differed moat fiercely from him now respect his courage. I ca-nnot Eay i what particular office Mr Lloyd George will be chosen to fill in the Libe-ral Cabinet of the future, but it will certainly be a high one. Ho would be a favourite with the Irishmen; for the position of Chief Secretary, but be- tween him and that position there stands the barrier-I fear an insuperable ono—of the Frfiuoation question. This is a question on which the Irishman and the Liberals of the strong Nonconformist type differ largely and, j perhaps, irreconcilably; and of the Noncon- formist position in its most extreme form Mr I Lloyd George is the living embodiment. The only other Welsh member mentioned by "T. P." i.s the junior member for Cardiff, of whom he eayri thu-t among the younger generation of Liberals, one nuwt put Mr Reginald MeK? tna in a prominent place. •He is like Sir Ciwirk.s Dilkc and Mr -Wins-ton Churchill in hit; entire abeorp'tion in political life..Ho began his career with a competence, with large legal connections, and in a few years' time lie had a rising practice at the Bar. But the moment he was returned for a seat in the Houeto of Commons, he put everything cise behind him, removed liiii name from his chambers in the Temple.

In season and out of season he his taken on the drudging work of watching business in tlw House of Commons; of criticising the proceedings Qf tho Government; in short, of doing that necessary «p«dework in Par- liament which so few members are ready to undertake. He is certain to have a place in tho new Administration. There now seems to be prospect that an ».'arly date will see the opening of a Welsh club in London. It Is estimated that the coet of running such ac institution on the lines thttt have been practically agreed upon aJ! round will be about a thousand guineas per ant:um. In fli,, oanvaes for ImRmOern the provisional committee haw now obtained promises of town and country members that bung the (subscriptions up to over 700 guineas, aud amongst- those who have promised to join are Lord Tredegar, the Ven. Archdeacon of Llandnff, Sir E. J. Reed, M.P., Sir T. March ant Williams, Sir Hugh Owen, G.C.B., Sir Isambard Owen, Colonel Ivor Herbert, Alderman T. J. Hughes, and other well-known Welsh gen- tlemen. The provision committee (of which Sir Jobn Pnleston is the chairman) is constdering the final urrangemente for taking excellent premises at Whitehall Court, and their scheme is the provision of a social meeting-place for Welsh residents in and visitors to London. In the club as proposed the committee will not undertake catering of an; kind, as this will be available upon a high-Liatis sonde under the manage- ment of the comp uiy managing other eiub6 and premises in the Court. so that the club will have the maximum of benefit with the minimum of riwks. Dr Woltor Davies, so well known as the hon. secretary of th.e (London Welsh Football Club, is at present acting aa hon. seeretjary to the provisional committee. We wish the enterprise every success. The "man of the moment," Mr Evan Ro- berts, whose personality is the one topic these days, has captured even the "'Times. Looking down front among the seats of the mighty, the Thunderer has observed the Welsh Revival, and on 'Friday it delivered itself in the following comment, which, to tell the truth, is more sympathetic than many criticisms written in Welsh-"Its central figure is a young man of modest parts and humble origin, who, for a Welshman, does not seem to be particularly eloquent. lie has lapsed into solitudo and 'silence like Elijah he is apt to be 'found at' unexpected places, like St. Phillip the Evangelist. But some spiritual fore,- has bc^u rushing through these susceptible Welsh folk, and to young Hvan Roberts there seems to have been given the power to impose on this force both con- ] trol and direction The point is thai for the time bring thfxrr» Ktill a ixmsiderab'o diminution of the local drink bill, and that, if the converts have not beaten their swords into ploughshares, they at least no longer regard u football outfit as 'a possession for ever."

One night soon after Eluned I Morgan, ins daughter, reached Patagonia. from Cardiff she sat by her father's bedside, and noticed him suddenly breaking down ¡ sobbing.

"Uyfr. bryf" had died in the Vale of Chvyd just at the time when Lewis Jones said 'Liyfrbryf has gone." Who can exp!ain this ý" I The membership returns for the Weslcyan j Methodist Church have just been compiled by the editor of the "Methodist Recorder." The increase this year is the largest, since l&iO—the increase in full membership being 10,70,), or 2.257 per cent.. as compared with i 6,(k)5 last year. On trial for membership there are 46,566, being an increase of 11,874. j or 34.3 per cent. The cheering feature re- specting this item is that it is the largest number ever yet reached. The influence of the Welsh Revival is seen in tho great in- j crease from Wales. Of the total ,ni:rease of 10,705 Wales contributes 5.005. la ute Car- diff und Swansea district, which embrace* j the area chiefly affected by the Revival, there are increases reported from all the circuits except, two, viz, Swansea and Pembroke, which report decreases respectively of 19 and two. III the Welsh circuits the inorea-sef, are even more remarkable than in the English. The South Wales district lias but one eircu?? reporting a decrease. The North Wtiles dis triets have not a single cireutt with a de- crease. The first district report* an increase of 1,467 and the second an increase of 1.482. Among the larger numbers are Coednoeth 300, Mold 176, Rhyl 168, Lianrhaiadr 130, Llanrwst 132,' Conway 152. Carnarvon 115, Bangoi 223, Pwllheli 133, and Festiuiog 112. The Welsh Language Society at its annual meetings at. Bangor yesterday diseased a scheme for teaching Welsh in all schools in the Principality. The sciieme has just been prepared by a well-known Government In- spector of Schools who has always been favourable to the movement. The scheme distinguishes between districts where Welsh is the home language of the inhabitants, and other districts where it has been decided that Welsii shall be taught. In the more Welsh parts the instruction in infant schools should be generally imparted in Waish, but with one daily lesson in EagLifh. In Stand- ard I. the instructions will still be given mainly in Welsh, but in Hit: second and third standards the time given to English will be I increased to about eight hours weekly and English reading and writing Imgan. For the higher standards it is suggested that the time should be divided equally between English and Welsh. The medium of instruction for the infants and Standard 1. scholars in dis- tricts other than strongly Welsh will bo English as a rule, but when the conditions as rtgards the sentiments of the locality ivid the composition of the staff make Mich a step possible and profitable one daily lesson mav be given in conversational Welsh; and in Standards II. to VII. a fourth of t.be avail- able time should be devoted to We'tsh, This promises well, and in conjunction with the Carnarvon, Anglesey, and Merioneth ] schemes, should guide even the most diffident i of teachers to the new pastures of Welsh i education. i I The action taken by the borough of Eaft I | Ham in refusing to administer the Education Act is likely lo lead to very serious results. The borough, though ia a. business and com. mercial sense part of London, is ouiside the I Metropolitan ores. It is inhabited almost j exclusively by the working classes and the J rates are close upon 20?, in the pound. Of this the education rate amounts to 3s, which is considerably higher than the poor ratx). The Borough Council justifies its action on i two grounds-that the people are very poor and that education should be a national and I not a local charge. Tli" Education Depart- ment have a very difficult crisis to deal with. The legal course will be to apply for « man- j damus to compel the Council to administer the Act. Its members, largely composed of I working men, make no secret that rather than do this they will go to prison, and a man- I damus therefore would increase rather than lessen the difficulty. Many of fhe poorer boroughs are feeling severely at thifi moment the burden of the rates, and there is romfl I risk that others will follow the exampJo of 'in East Ham. A general rising against rates in fis the poorer districts of London and in the ) poorer boroughs in the country is at least a possibility, that cannot be wbot" disre- garded. The paper read at the recent Conference on School Hygiene by Dr Clement, Dukes, and published in the current number of the "Journal of the Sanitary Institute," is worthy of attention, not only from teachers, but also from parents, for it deals with the snbjeet of the amount of sleep required by children, and lays down, with the authority of the author'e experience, principles which are certainly quite as often neglected or ignored at home a.s at school, especially among the poorer classes of the community, whose children are constantly deprived of natural I'e"lt by being drugged about in connection with the plea- sures or the "outings" of the parents. Dr Dukes points out that in primary schools children of 3 years of age paSif: the same a urn- ber of hours in school as those of 14 years of ago, and that in secondary schoois the child of 14 has the same hour", of work allotted to him as the youth of 19. His view of the case would not suffer the-chiidren who. at the age of five, pass from the infants' U- the primary school, to work at lessons for more than a single hour out of the twenty-four. aDd would secure to them thirteen hours and a half of sleep. Between the ages of five and fourteen the hours of work may be gradually extended to five, and the hours of sleep as gradually diminish.ed to tee and a half. In the secondary school he would permit sijr hours of work from fourteen to sixteen, seven hours from sixteen to eighteen, and eight from eighteen to nineteen, with corresponding re- ductions of sleep to ten hours, nine and a half, and nine; while at the University, and up to th<\ age of twenty-three, although the work should not be suffered to exceed eight hours, the sleep may be brought down to the same duration.
