\ Aberdare Education Committee.
Aberdare Education Committee. On Wednesday, Nov. 1st, Mr. Ogwen Williams in the, chair. Present: Mrs. I F. Rose Davies, Councillors T. Walter I ■^Williams, Illtyd Hopkins, T. W. Grif- fiths, E. Stonelake, Evan Jones (Cwm- aman), David Davies, John Griffiths, Geo. Powell, Wm. Thomas, Wm. Lawr- ence, Evan Jones (Aberaman), John Evans, D. E. Davies, with Messrs. T. Botting (Director) and Tom D. Jones (assistant director). PARK"SC-HOOL CLEANER,. Mrs. Edmunds, Glan Road, had been appointed cleaner of Park Schools at a committee meeting, and the action of the committee was now confirmed. I t CONDOLENCE. I The Chairman atid he regretted to inform the committee of the death of Mrs. Lloyd, wife of Councillor T. Lloyd, Cwmbach, and he moved a vote of con- dolence with the family. He moved a similar vote in respect of the death of Miss Evans, Llwydcoed, a teacher, and Private Brychan Thomas, Elm Grove. The Director would send a letter to the relatives of each one of the deceased persons.-Mr. D. Davies seconded, and the motion was carried, all present rising to their feet. WOUNDED SOLDIERS. The Chairman remarked that he was glad to find that those teachers who had been wounded were recovering. He re- ferred to E. D. Humphreys, Higher Standard Schools; E. Thomas, Aber- cwmboi, and Ben Evans, Cwmaman; and he trusted that the three men would soon be all right again. Mr. W. Thomas said it was gratifying to note that one of their teachers who had been killed had been awarded the Military Medal. This was a very high distinction, and their only regret was that Corporal D. Rice Jones was not alive to receive the decoration. DR. HOWIE'S RESIGNATION. Mrs. Dr. Howie, the Schools Medi- cal Officer, submitted her resignation, and explained that she had taken a posi- tion under the Monmouthshire County Council. She regretted very much to leave Aberdare, because she had re- ceived unfailing courtesy from officials I and all she had been brought in con- tact with. She further asked to be re- leased on December 31st. The Chairman remarked that the! committee were sorry to lose her, be- cause she had performed capital work in Aberdare. The teachers and parents would also be sorry to lose her. Mr. Stonelake said that Dr. Howie had been an exceptionally good officer. The work she undertook was of great importance, and a big improvement had been effected in the district. The new post in Monmouthshire would give plenty of scope for her organising abili- ties. Mr. Geo. Powell observed that Aber- dare should receive some recognition from Monmouthshire Council for pro- viding them with such a splendid offi- cer. Aberdare had been a fine training ground for her. He would like to place on record her unassuming manner, and the straightforward and thorough .my she performed her duties. Mrs. Davies also paid a tribute to Dr. Howie. She (Mrs. Davies) had been one of the keenest in bringing a lady doctor to Aberdare, and the committee had been fully justified in their appoint- ment. The little children of Aberdare would sustain a great loss by the de- parture of Dr. Howie, for she was not borund by office hours and gave equal care and time to every child that came before her. Mrs. Davies moved that Dr. Howie be released on Dec. 31st. Mr. E. Jones seconded, and the motion was adopted. FUTURE ARRANGEMENTS. Dr. Prichard said he was afraid it would be exceedingly difficult to get a doctor to take Mrs. Howie's place, under t400 per annum, and they might obtain a very indifferent one for that. He was quite willing to put in extra < time and perform the duties, provided the committee would obtain a doctor from Cardiff to do the refraction work. 1 That would cost from t60 to £ b0 per annum. 1 Mr. T. Walter Williams moved that they fall in with that suggestion. Mr. llltyd Hopkins seconded and tile motion was agreed to, arrangements for the engagement of a doctor to assist in the refraction work being left to the Medical Committee. WORK OF NATIONAL IMPORTANCE The Pelham Committee-a committee in London which has charge of arrang- ing work of national importance to con- scientious objectors—wrote with regard to the case of Mr. Matt Lewis, a certi- ficated teacher. They asked the Edu- cation Committee whether they desired to retain the services of Mr. Lewis, in view of the shortage of certificated teachers, and whether they considered teaching a work of national importance. Mr. Geo. Powell said that Mr. Lewis' teaching a work of national importance. Mr. Geo. Powell said that Mr. Lewis' case had been before the Tribunal, and he had agreed to take up work of na- tional importance. Mr. E. Jones (Cwmaman) said ne re- garded education as a work of great national importance. If the Education. I Committee did not agree to retain Mr Lewis' services, the probability was that he would be sent to do farmwork or something of the kind, and that would be a loss to the district. He moved that a reply be sent stating that they regarded teaching as work of national importance. Mr. John Evans seconded. I. Mr. Illtyd Hopkins supported and the motion was carried. TEACHING OF WELSH. The Union of Welsh Societies, meet- ing recently at Pontypridd, had passed a resolution, a copy of which they sent to the committee. It was to the effect that Education Authorities ought to give more adequate and effective scope ) for the training of teachers, so as to I secure for them an equal proficiency in the teaching of Welsh as was hitherto the case in the teaching of English. Mr. T. Walter Williams How do they suggest we are to bring that about. We are simply an authority for ele- mentary education. The training of teachers is a matter for Secondary Schools. Mr. Geo. Powell said that the Aber- dare Education Authority did what they could by giving scholarships to teachers to attend the Welsh Summer School. I Mr. T. W. Williams I don't see what .1 more can be done. The Director mentioned that Aber- dare had recommended the County Council to establish Evening Classes In Welsh, which had been done, and vhich had proved very successful. Mr. G. Powell: Yes, they have turned out a number of fairly efficient teachers.- No action was taken. STAFF CHANGES. Mr. D. J. Thomas, Byron Street, Cwmaman, a certificated teacher, now employed in the Rhondda, applied for a place under the Aberdare Committee. —The Director was instructed to ap- point him when a vacancy occurred. CWMBACH CHILDREN. Mr. D. Davies said that the driver who conveyed Cwmbach children to the various schools in Aberdare had been called to the colours, with the result that they had now to walk across the meadow to Aberaman to come up by tram. That was a great hardship, es- pecially in winter weather. He moved that the Director make arrangements for another conveyance.—This course was agreed to. TEACHERS' SALARIES DURING ABSENCE. The report of the Sub-Committee ap- pointed to deal with this matter was submitted. Some of the regulations are as follows :— 1. Teachers absent on account of ill- ness for two consecutive days must on the third day forward a medical certifi- cate to the Director. I 2. Applications for leave of absence- for any reason other than personal ill- ness must be made to the Director. 3. Assistant Teachers must at once- inform their Head Teachers of the cause of absence and also forward through them the medical certificate required by the foregoing regulation. 4. A record of each teacher's ab- sences will be kept, and the number of such absences carried to the debit of his or her reserve account. 5. On the 1st day of August in each year the reserve account of each teach- er in the service of the Authority will be credited with 10 working days to cover absences from all causes during the succeeding year or years. 6. When a teacher is first appointed one day will be credited to his or her reserve account for each complete month intervening between the date of ap- pointment and the 31st day of July fol- lowing up to the maximum of 10 days. 1 7. A teacher absent from duty for any reason is allowed full pay for the per- iod standing to the credit of his reserve account provided that:—(a) The period for which full pay shall be allowed dur- ing the 3 years preceding the la st day Of absence shall be limited to 13 weeks, i.e., 65 working days. (b) The period of absence for which full pay shall be allowed in consequence of illness of a relative shall not exceed 3 days in each individual case during any one year e" cept with the special sanction of the committee. Full pay is allowed for Saturdays and Sundays occuring during the period of absence specified in this regulation. Full pay is allowed for any genera' School Holiday which occurs during certified illness within the limits of scale, and the period of such pay ^rl not be deducted from the total number of days allowed in calculating anY future absence pay. 9. Full pay is allowed to teachers Who are absent for the purpose of sitting a examinations provided that the eyaw- inatiwns are such that would improve the educational qualifications of the teachers. 10. Leave of absence without salary may be granted for certain purposes-
