NORTH WALES RESORTS.

NORTH WALES RESORTS. -So FAR as North Wales was concernied, the Whit- suiirtidia holiday proved a complete success. There was a very large number of visitors, to whom the holiday will be one of happy memory. True, there was some rain, but the showers only served to temper the sun's hot rays, to enhance the glory of the countryside, to make travelling easier and pleasanter, and to give a greater zest to outdoor life and! riectreatioin. The, vivid green of woodland and hedgerow and meadow must Ihave proved most retfirieshinig to. the tired eyes of rtihe many thousands of jaded town, workers who ,came here for (resit and change from the dull, soul-destroying environment amid which they have perforce to spend the greater part of their lives. And as a result they must have tfeitumed to their labours with renewed health and vigour. There is no- part of the kingdbtm which can. ex. cel North Wales for ozone-laden. sea and moun- tain air or natural beauty, and we who. are privileged, to live all the year round amid such glorious surrounding si are only too ready to wel- come the immense population from the industrial centres who. come to our midst, when allowed a break in the common, round, the daily task which they are, calleid: upon to sustain, in search of physical and mental relaxation and in pur- suit of formsl of pleasure denied them in their own homes. Not only so, but we do our utmost to make their stay agreeable by housing and feeding them well, and providing them with amusements. Jiuist as our district excels all others in the way already described, so also does it afford the finest class of holiday entertainments to be met with in the kingdom. It is no. easy tasik toi cater for the varied needls of visitors in this respect; but we do. it, and do. it weld, and of this we are1 not a little proud. Thus, in the most essential direction's we afford' our holiday- iruaking guests the facilities for healthy enjoy- ment which they come hiere to seek. The great pity its that the reward for the service thus ren- detned is not so .remunerative as to bear a reasonr ablte proportion, to the cane, and thought, and enterprise which have toi be expended in order toi keep ou.r .resorts abreast of the times. What is the reason for this? It is not the fault of the visitors, and it is not the, fault of their hoslts and entettiainers. It isi very probably dlue to our curious national system, of holidays—if that be the proper designation,. Oiur fixed holidays or feast-days are. not distributed througih the year with that evenness Which would ensure the great- est happiness—and T)ro,fit--of the greatest num- ber, 'Holidays should not be too near together. In that respect ouir iBritisih systeim is defective. Tihe Easter and Wliitsun holidays are much too :rJie¡a,r together, and. the stretch from August to Christmas is too long. Then it is a bad system which makes it necessary for the great majority of holiday-makers to. take, their annual fort- night's vacation in August. Wh mluisit, of course, take thingsi as they are, and make the best of them. But it does seem unfortunate that some plan or system cannoi be devised for distribut- ing the holiday tmffic moire evenly over the year, which would add' both to the comfort of thte visitors and to the revenue of those who, supply their needs.
SHOULD SHEEP HAVE WATER?

SHOULD SHEEP HAVE WATER? FARMERS and agricultural readers generally, if "root, indieed, the whole of the large public who subscribe to the North Wales Weekly News," WiUl be interested ini a letterr which we have re- ceived from the Duchess of Portland, Presidleinit of thei Ladies' Education Committee of the R.S.P.C.A. The Cbunmiititee desiTP, through the medium of our columns, to appeal to. farmers and others to provide their sheep with drinking water. We do not I pretend to' maike an expert pronouncement on this subject, but we should, like to draw special attention to the views of the Committee. Un- happily," they say, an impression, is still pre- valent in some parts of the country that sheep do' not require to be watered, and there is, reason to believe that at times, some flocks suffer from warllt of drinking facilities. Then, the Ciom- mittee go, on to nemauk in the letter before us that The opinions of eminent veterinians are conclusive that the impression referred to' is an erroneous one, and experiments by practical people have shown that -sheep when allowed: to get to water drinik with avidity." This is by no means a new siubject, but probably it has never received the attention which it evidently de- serves alike on humanitarian and on practical grounds. Some few years ago there was a cor- respondence on the matter in The Field and The Farmleir and Stockbreeder," and one of the letters is of .special interest to the sheep farmers of the mountainous districts, of North Wales. It is as follows :—" What dew falls may help to quench tihinst, and succulent grass has a tendency that way, but none can be regarded as a substitute for water. I admit sheep have a wonderful capability of doing without it, but I have often noticed their anxiety to. reach it, their laagemness to dirink when there, and their con- teintment when satisfied. Their extra bleating has been stopped with drink, and the persistency to push through the fences, and stray have been replaced by quiet .submission to confinement in fields where water was available.. I believe letting sheep have access to water is of greater ,assistance to their well-being than is generally supposed. Parihaps hill sheep give many an idea that they live without water, but those familiar wiith hills know there are many little springs and moist places which few can, see-, and I have [generally found sheep footpaths lead to these in ways which suggested much intimacy with water." If this writer's views be correct, it is apparent that it is time to do something in the interests of the poor thirsty sheep, and that owners and shephetrds have a duty to. perform, especially in hot weather, when the sufferings of the animals must be greatest. We should be happy to publish the views of our readers upon this important topic.
PROFESSIONS FOR WOMEN.

PROFESSIONS FOR WOMEN. LADY BARCLAY made an admirable and convinc- ing speech in opening the bazaar at Penrhos ■College, Colwyn Bay, on Saturday, in which she expressed the view that every girl should be brought up to. some trade or profession, and should take diplomas that might be of use to them in case of necessity. In this connection her Ladyship called attention, to the tardy but wall-menited recognition now being given to. the field of domestic work, and she must have sur- prised many of her lieareirrs by stating that it is jpossibiliei to takeia hO'Useiwjife's degree," that the University of London is granting a diploma by which thoisa who pass the King's College course may write M.H.S. (Mistress of Homei Science) after their nannies, and that applications for teachers with this degree already exceed the demand. W'e do not think that we are alone in admitting that we had not pooviQiusly heard of the course of study referred to.; but by a lucky coincidence a most informing article on the subject, from the pen of Mabel Atkinson, appeared in Tuesday's Daily News, II The article. is entitled "ScÍieince in the Home: The Gampltete- Housewife in the Making." It gives a very complete outline of the ccourse of train- ing which Lady Barclay so opportunely recom- mended, and: we sincerely hope that it will be widely rteiad. After dwelling uipon, the need of raising the profession of housekeeping to the level, in dignity and importance, of other voca- tions which she enumerates, the writer gives the history of the movement in oonnectioni with the Women's Department of King's College, and then describes very minutely the courses of lec- tures given. The fees for the courses are ^30 per year, reduced to, £20 for those engaged in teaching. Various scholarship's are, however, available for the) course, one of them, being given by the Gilcihrist Trustees. One last question remains, to. be considered. The anxious parent may ask what am the practical advan- tages to be gained by sending a girl to pass through this long and arduous course of study." To. this questioni the writer supplies a pertinent reply, remarking that Threes years spent in work at King's. College would fill very satisfac- torily that gap which now yawns so. widely be- tween leaving school andi marriage, and the garl will be a far more efficient mother and house- mistress than if slhe had given up all her time to dancing and tennis." Many second- ary schools for girls are beginning to. teach dom- estic economy on scientific lines. Consequently, there is a diemand for teachers trained at once in science and in housekeeping. King's College has more demands for teacheins of this type thain it can satislfy. And here will be the chance of the unmarried woman, who. must earn her own living, who dioes not care for teaching, clerking, or dbatori-nig, but has a genius for domestic admin.isftnation. Let her go for three years to King's College, and thein: act as pioneer in the elevation' of the profession of house- keeper to that of the doctor or engineer." We feel sure that the writer's views, will meet with general endorsement, and that a large public will thanlk Lady Barclay for having called at- tention in ,so timely a manner to. a new and welcome sphere for women's work.

I WEEK BY IVEEK. A Lancashire commercial traveller made a trip to Scotland, and in Aberdeen was asked by a prospective buyer to subscribe to the prize fund for the local golf tofumament. He parted with five shillings, and as he was interested in goilf, he remariked that he would like to be kept informed of the progress of the tournament, so that he could look out for the result. Oh," said the customer, a§ he picked up the five shil- lings and placed it securely in his pocket, ye needina. dae that. The tournament was held last Saturday." This: was rather a staggerer fo.r the latest contributor to. the prize fundi, but he re- taÎJmed curiosity enough to inquire who. had proved the happy winner. The guileless solici- tor for gubacriptions was quite undaunted, how- aver. "The winner?" he said, coyly; Oh, just masel' • « For reasons best i-inowm to. himself, Robert de- cided to Slendi a note to his day school teacheir. Hie decided, also, that it would look better in feminine handwriting and so, his own being of the masculine species, he squared- his sister with a few bull's-eyes and dictated to her the con- tents. Thus: Dear Miss Brown,—Please, xouSle Bobbie for not bean at school sinsei Tews, day, as he as add twothake on Tewsday, and on Wednesday he broke his harm, and he add to go to a party yesterday afternoon. If he does not come. twomiorrow it will be becawse a boy ithrue a stoan at his i.—Yours truly, Bobbie's Mother." On the fol,Lowinig .Monday he returned him from school looking very demulfeI and won- dering what it was that was lacking in. human nature which had made his. interview with Miss Brown turn out so unsatisfactorily, and engen- dered in himself a partiality for cushions he had never suspected himself of possessing. There has not arisen so gifted a maker of bulls" since William Airolin, who slat as a magistrate in London diuiriing the thirties. His humour was quite unconscious, and one, of the deligfhts of the people of leisure was to attend his court, from which they seldom returned dis- appointed. He once remarked to counsel: If you can show precisely at what moment the offence was committed, and prove that the pri- soner was not there when he did it, he could not possibly have done it," sagely adding, by way of justifying the! position:, We cannot divest ourselves of commoin-,seriise, in a court of jus- tice." IHie was also. the originator of an axiom which has since been. attributed to other mem- bers of the bench: "If elvelr there was a clearecr caste of evidence: than this case, this case is the case."

I A Welsh Prime Minister. DEATH OF THE HON. THOMAS PRICE. I It is with sincere regret that we learn of the death of that distinguished Welsh Colonial, Mr. Thomas Price, the Labour Prime Minister of South Australia. Mr. Price had been failing since his return from this country after his visit of last year, and had been an invalid since the last session of Parliament. During that visit of a year ago, it will be remembered, he spent a little time at Colwyn Bay, the guest of Mr. and Mrs. T. J. Williams, of Coed Derw, he being related to Mrs. Williams by marriage. Born at Brymbo, near Wrexham, fifty-seven years ago, he spent nearly all his early life in Liverpool, where his father followed the trade of a stonecutter. When the lad was old enough he went to a "penny school," but had to leave to help his father when he was nine years old. Up to his twenty-ninth year young Price worked at his trade of stone-cutting in and about Liverpool. He put in a good deal of his spare time at night- classes and public work. As a young man he became interested in politics and joined the Liverpool Liberal Organisation and the Irish Home Rule League. By the time he was thirty- one he had become a master mason and employed a fair number of men, but his health broke down, and on medical advice he sailed with his wife and child for Australia, taking with him what money he had saved. His idea was to start farming, but this plan was not a success, and he fell back on his old trade for a livelihood, and actually worked on the construction of the Parliament House at Adelaide, in which some years after his voice was heard from the Prime Minister's seat. Mr. Price embarked on the troubled sea of politics not long after his arrival, and, attaching himself to the Labour party, rose rapidly to the front rank. The story of the growth and final success of the Labour Party has already been told. Mr. Price was a prominent Rechabite and a firm believer in Women's Suffrage. The women's vote in Australia, he declared, had purified poli- tics and had brought moral and social questions to the forefront. THE VISIT TO COLWYN BAY. It was in May of last year that Mr. Price paid what proved to be his last visit to this neighbour- hood, and we may be allowed to reproduce por- tions of an article which appeared in the North Wales Weekly News of May 22nd, 1908 "The Honourable Thomas Price, the resource- ful and progressive Welshman who occupies the distinguished position of Premier of South Aus- tralia, in company with Mrs Price, spent a pleasant and much-enjoyed week-end at Colwyn Bay. The visit was a purely informal one, and Mr. and Mrs. Price were the guests of Mr. T. J. Williams, J.P., a former Mayor of Denbigh, and Mrs. Williams, with whom Mrs. Price is con- nected by marriage. Coed Derw, the pretty residence of Mr. and Mrs. Williams, in Coed Pella-road, commands magnificent views of the sea and the woods, now at the zenith of their freshness; and the gardens, always remarkable for the number and variety of their flowers, were to be seen at their best, and as, in addition, the weather was delightfully fine, the distinguished visitors were charmed with the town. On Satur- day afternoon the Premier and Mrs. Price, accompanied by their host and hostess, motored to Conway and Llandudno in order to visit several old friends and acquaintances, and. needless to say, they admired to the full the beautiful scenery through which they passed. L "AT THE VICTORIA PAVILION. In the evening, the party, at the invitation of the Directors, attended the grand concert in the Victoria Pavilion, Colwyn Bay, and here again the eminent Colonial statesman and his wife were highly pleased with all they saw and heard. On their arrival they were heartily cheered by the large audience, who were quick to recognise the distinguished guests. The programme through- out, conducted by Mr. T. Henry Smith with his usual ability, was excellent, and it was evidpnt that the Premier appreciated the compliment paid his country by the inclusion of special numbers in honour of himself and Mrs. Price At the close of the performance the Hon. Mr. Price stepped forward to shake hands with the brilliant young deputy-conductor, and thanked him warmly, on behalf of Mrs. Price and himself, for the splendid concert. "The Premier was also introduced to the Chairman (Mr. W. F. Mason), and his co-Direc- tors, and to Mr. W. A. Pryce-Davis, the Manag- ing Secretary. Mr. Price, who thanked Mr. Mason and his colleagues for the invitation, spoke in terms of the highest praise of the music and the luxurious Pavilion, and expressed a hope that the season arrangements would meet with the success they so well deserved. "APPRECIATION. Much to their disappointment, Mr. and Mrs. Price were unable to spend a few hours of Mon- day at Colwyn Bay, as an urgent telegram called the Premier to London on matters connected with the Colony he represents. Accordingly they left by the 9-22 a.m. train for the Metropolis. Before departing Mr. Price expressed himself highly pleased with their visit and the kind- ness they had received. He also stated his admiration of Colwyn Bay and its picturesque surroundings, and of the marvellous progress which the town has accomplished in such a short time. In all his life's travels, he declared, he had not visited a more beautiful health resort. He wished, on behalf of Mrs. Price and himself, to say how pleased they would have felt if circum- stances had permitted them to prolong their visit so that they might further enjoy the fresh and salubrious air and the unsurpassed scenery of Colwyn Bay and district. "THE COUNCIL'S INVITATION. A discussion on the expected visit of the Australian Premier took place at the meeting of the Colwyn Bay Council held on Tuesday of last week, in consequence of which the Town Clerk (Mr. James Amphlet), sent a letter. Apparently the letter did not come under the Premier's notice in time to enable the public wel- come to be arranged, and the visit was an entirely private one to Mr. and Mrs. T. J. Williams. "A SERIES OF FLYING VISITS. This is the Premier's second term of office, and he now pays his first visit to England since his departure- from the Old Country twenty-five years ago. The visit of Mr. and Mrs. Price to our country has been a source of great pleasure to them, and the Premier has every confidence that it will prove of great advantage to the in- dustrial community of his own Colony and to Australia in general. The Hon. Mr. and Mrs. Price arrived in Eng- land on March 22nd, and they visited in turns the principal centres of Great Britain, including Hull, Bristol, Birmingham, Manchester, Liver- pool, Wolverhampton, Glasgow, and other com- mercial towns. The Premier's main object at these places is to enquire into shipping facilities and to see if it be possible to reduce freights and charges which London now imposes upon the products that Australia sends to Great Britain. Mr. and Mrs. Price have everywhere been received with the greatest possible heartiness and enthusiasm. This has notably been the case in Wales, where they have found themselves, as it were, amongst their own people, who have been only too eager to give them a real Welsh wel- come. At Brymbo, the distinguished statesman's birthplace, and at Wrexham, two very excep- tional gatherings of welcome were held on May 15th. Denbigh has also been visited. For the sake of old associations and connections the Vale of Llangollen was visited, at the time of the Welsh Wesleyan Annual Synod, where Mr. Price was cordially received and took a leading part, and his addresses on social and other questions being of an eloqnent and uplifting character. At the close of the Synod meetiugs Mr. and Mrs. Price were obliged to refuse many cordial invita- tions from the Premier's native country owing t. the scarcity of time at their disposal."
