CARMARTHENSHIRE EDUCATION COMMITTEE MR. JOHN LLOYD AND THE TEACHERS. 18 OUT OF 700 ENLIST. The monthly meeting of the Carmarthenshire 'Education Committee was held at the County Offices, Carmarthen, an Thursday m last week, Mr. W. N. Jones, Tirydail, presiding. "BULL IN CUSTODY." The Clerk (Mr. J. W. Nicholas) reported having received a complaint with regard to a bull which was interfering with school children on their way to Llanfynydd School. The Clerk stated that he had written to the owner, stating that if the bull interfered with passers-by he would place it in custody (laughter). PARENT'S TENDERNESS. Referring to an application by a parent to have his child moved from one school to another, the Rev. R. H. Jones, Llangendeirne, said the Com- mittee ought to be very careful in dealing with the matter. He was of opinion that parents ought to De stopped from moving their children from one school to the other, unless there was a real claim. As a rule, he believed parents were rather tender about having their children corrected. The Chairman said he thought a teacher had no right to inflict any punishment upon a chUd. If teacher considered that a child deserve<J punish- ment, he was supposed to take him or her to the headmaster.-The matter then dropped. INFECTIOUS DISEASE. A number of schools were reported to have been closed cwing to outbreaks of infectious disease. MV Mervyn Peel, Danyrallt said it seemed a pity that thev had no power to close every building where a large number of people and children con- gregated, because it was equally as dangerous there "The^rman-We better petition Parliament to get the churches and chapels included. Mr Mervyn Peel said they were only closing one door of the stable and leaving all the others open. The Chairman-What do you suggest then? Mr Pedl—I am merely remarking. Mr.' Jarties Phillips. St. Clears, said that when an outbreak of infectious disease occurred m his dis- trict, all the chapels and churches were closed as well as' the schools. <at The Chairman-You are more enlightened at St. Clears than in the other district (laughter). MR. JOHN LLOYD AND THE TEACHERS. The Clerk referred to a memorial from the teachers which had ben circularised among the members of the Committee asking for a war bonus of £ 1U per annum. i. The Chairman suggested that the matter should be referred to a committee. Mr. J. Lloyd, Penvbank, said that they had heard officially that the maximum under the new scale of salaries was £5,000 more than the old, which made a rate of Zid. in the j3. The scale of salaries which prevailed in the county of Carmarthen for elementarv schoolmasters compared very favourably with that' given in every county in Wales. The maximum for the assistant master, after taking the superannuation nremium into consideration, amoun- ted to practically JB125 a year, while the maximum of headmasters in the bigger schools amounted to £225 a year. It seemed ridiculous to suggest a bonus to people whose salaries varied from £ 130 to £225. They were people who, in the estimation of the Chancellor of the Exchequer, were in such prosperous and flourishing circumstances that they could, well pay a tax on their incomes. It seemed to him rather unfair that one section of the com- munity, drawing taxable incomest, should be re- lieved of their obligation to their country at the expense of the other section of the community by drawing war bonus. We had all got to sacrifice at the present time. We were living in the most critical time in the history of our country. We would all have to share a burden of a taxation of the country; there was no exception for anyone, not even the schoolmaster. Some already were bur- dened more than others. About 18 of the teachers had joined the colours. He did not know whether that was a very great record when they had 700 teachers,in the county,-it worked out about 3 per cent. They had to remember that they had a very large number of eligible young men of military age, and it was to be hoped that this record would be greatly improved upon in the near future. They knew of the action of thousands of young men in various walks of life, who had given up their educa- tional and professional training and career, and sacrificed everything for the sake of their country. He did not think this was an opportune time for any class of people to ask for a war bonus. T' Chairman—What do you move Mr. Lloyd—I move that we do nothing in the matter. Mr. Davies, Rhyblid, seconded, and this was agreed to. THE VALUE OF THE DEGREE. Whilst making the appointment of teachers, the Rev. R. H. Jones, Llangendeirne, asked if any of the applicants for a certain school had degrees, whereupon Mr. Mervyn Peel said: The possession of a degree is no guarantee that you can impart your own learning to others, it is only a guaran- tee that the possessor had reached a certain stan- dard of education himself." Rev. R. H. Jones-Degrees are not worthless at least. SECRET FEW." The meeting then considered the report of the Special Subjects Committee which recommended that the salary of Mr. Ernest Gaunt be increased from £ 200 to JE250, rising by JB5 yearly to £ 260. The application made by Mr. Gaunt was on account of extra work which would have to be car- ried out by him by the Committee's decision to introduce the teaching of domestic subjects, etc., into the elementary schools and to increase the number of evening schools. Rev. E. B. Lloyd, Bwlohnewydd, remarked that he had not heard much about this committee, and added that there was a tendency to confine the work to a certain clique, and to have a secret few to carry on the work, when it should be dealt with by the whole committee. The Chairman said it was very difficult to get members to give their close attention to these matters. The Clerk had told him what had been done. Everybody were supposed to remain behind after the meeting, but only a certain few did. These had done their work to the best of their ability, and the report was there before them. It was for the county committee to find fault with it. If they did not like it, let them say so, and not accuse the committee who had done their work honestly and well. Rev. E. B. Lloyd said it was perfectly true that the tendency was to allow a few to carry out the work. I do not like this kind of business," he added. The Chairman again remarked that every mem- ber of the Education Committee was a member of the Reports Committee, and if they did not come there it was not the fault of the people who did attend. "I am as much opposed to small com- cittees as Mr. Lloyd." he added, but I think it is very unfair that when the whole Committee have been summoned that other members who have neglected the opportunity should come here to up- set and delay matters." Rev. E. B. Lloyd—Who is here to upset and delay? The Chairman said that the vice-chairman and himself, and one or two members of the committee, had visited nearly every school in the county at great inconvenience, and they had reported. Mr. Gaunt had been round with them to all the schools endeavouring to bring this scheme into operation. Unless they worked this scheme in its entirety, he was afraid they would not get it into working operation. Mr. James Phillips said it was not that they were against, Mr. Gaunt, and did not appreciate his ser- vices. J was it n prope- time to do it? He was willing "1 do anything fcr Mi-. Gaunt. but he be- lieved tl.t the Committee ive- e placing ..themselves in a v< -v invidious position by granting this in- crease "<e! denying it to teachers. A ri=e of £ 50 meant n^uly a £ 1 a week. The rhiirman snid here they were asking Mr. Gaunt to do all this work. He had to work early and late because of this extra work that had been thrust upon him. He was not doing the same work, but had been asked to do further work and important work. import-ant work. Mr. Mervyn Peel said all that was wanted was that this matter should be put on the agenda and discussed adequately. That had been done. He wished to support the adoption of the report in toto. The great distinction between giving a man increased salary for increased work, and extra pay for no extra work was the reason why he supported the recommendation in the report. The circum- stances differed entirely from all grounds covered by the remarks of Mr. Lloyd. Mr. Benj. Evans, Pencader, said that on the face of it, it looked as if they were giving a big advance to Mr. Gaunt. The Committee had very carefully and cautiously considered the question of giving An increase. Mr. Gaunt had had a great deal of extra work, and in every other county the men who did this work were paid very much nearer double what Mr. Gaunt was receiving. The Chairman said they had gone to great trouble, and eome of them had gone all over the county in order to get this report done Mr. Phillips said he quite appreciated the work done by the Chairman nad Vice-chairman in this matter. The report with the recommendation was then adopted. APPOINTMENT OF TEACHERS.

A HANDY STABLE "VET." FAMOUS ZAM-BUK ADAPTED FOR HORSES. It is not practicable, or even necessary, to call in the Vet." every time a horse gets injured or out o' sorts. With the help of the new Veterinary Zam-Buk it is possible to immediately alleviate a good deal -of pain, and in many cases to completely banish disease and suffering. You cannot make a mistake in applying Zam-Buk to a horse's skin. In the case of Sprains, Strains, Stiffness, and Rheumatism, Veterinary Zam-Buk should be used like an embrocation and rubbed in the affected parts vigorously. Coughs, Colds, and Sore Throat in Horses are also very effectively treated by rub- bing the Zam-Buk well in under the jaws and down the outside of the throat. Where the skin is broken or the flesh exposed, as in the case of HARNESS OR SADDLE SORES, Cuts, Barbed Wire Scratches, and Spike Wounds, CRACKED AND SORE HEELS, Ringworm, Torn and Lacerated Wounds, Broken Knees, etc., the sores should be first cleansed in tepid water and then liberally covered with Zam-Buk, and, where possible, handage Veterinary Zam-Buk should be kept in every addle-room. It is the quickest and cleanest healer known, and is free from animal fats and mineral irritants. Price 1/li or 2/9 per box of chemists, saddlers, corn dealers, etc., or The Zam-Buk Laboratories, Leeds.

MILITARY NOTES AND QUERIES PRIVATE G. S. H.—If your wife is not in need of the allotment from your pay you can, if she is agree- able, arrange for the cessation of issue of same. Your wife would then receive the 9s. a week only. In order to effect this arrangement you should apply for an Army Form W 3007 or 3008 to your C-wnpany Officer. fill it up, and then, again through your Com- pany Officer, send it to your Regimental Paymaster. G. MACKENZIE.—A British private soldier's wife resident, with her one child, in South Africa would be entitled, with the 3p. 6d. a week allotment from her husband's pay. to an allowance of JB1 3s. 4J. per week. A. E.—A soldier's wife who was sentenced to a month's imprisonment would not receive separation allowance for the period of such imprisonment, but she would, of course, be entitled to the allotment from her husband's pay; In all probability one consequence of the imprisonment would be the with- drawal of the Government allowance altogether. J. KETWOR'fH.—l^t Class Warrant Officers are allowed 2nd Class rail and steamship accommodation when travelling on duty. Where 2nd Class is not available on steamships then they are given 1st Class accommodation. E. W., J. J.. AND OTHERS.—Soldiers at the front whoce period of Army Service-incluiin,, the extra 12 months for which they are liable when a state of mobilization exists—are given the option of extend- ing their service for the period of the war. Those who extend are being granted 2 months' leave. MRs. FRANCIS.—Although your daughter has turned the age of 16 the Army Authorities will, if applied to, continue the separation allowance to her as she is, owing to her infirmity, unable to earn her own living. And they will continue such allowance while the infirmity continues. You must obtain a certificate from her regular medical attendant, and send same, with a letter explaining the matter, to the Regimental Paymaster. While this special allowance is being continued, yon will also be required to furnish a medical certi- ficate to the Paymaster every December, March. June, and September. SHoEY.-When a soldier qualifies as an efficient shoeing smith, i.e., is entitled to wear the shoe on his arm, he is supposed to receive a gratuity of 10s. The non-commissioned officer under whose instruc- tion he qualifies is also entitled to a similar gratuity. OFFICER'S WIDOW.—As the widow of a 2nd Lieu- tenant killed in action—though his commission was but a temporary one—you will receive pension at the rate of JB80 a year. There is on foot a move to increase the rates to officers' widows, but as yet it has not got any further than the proposal stage. I deeply sympathise with you in the loss of your hus- band.

LLANARTH NOTES Much controversy is being now waged with regard to war news. When one of our natives was ques- tioned last week concerning the war news, he replied: —" Our merchant ship has sinked.' Upon his being asked where, he said: Somewhere in the trenches." Some farmers are very economical during this war time. Reaping twine is being used very often to "Bind a good smoking pipe! Two of the Council School staff have left. Mr. E. Evans has left for Carmarthen Training Colle re, and Miss Davies has been transferred to Aberayron Council School.

SYNOD INN NOTES Last Friday, October 8, the two brothers, Messrs. Daniel and Joshua Lewis, Biaenglowonfach, offered by public auction the whole of their stock, crop and implements.
