A Naturalized Welshman. — A Notable Official Career. rFROM A CORRESPONDENT.] SOME Englishmen. spend #ie greater part of tneir lifetime in the Pnibilcipalilty, occupying possibly p-ulMi'c or official positions here, and are, after all, as 'absolutely ignorant of the peoplle as such, of their .semti!m-em-ts, habiits of thongM, nafcoaaal 'aspirations, and wlhalt not, as iff thley themselves were; but ordinary sumimer tourists passing tlhIío.ugh :the land.

Mr Wlheatilley by .birth, edu- cation, xxadi'tionis, enivircmme-nt, every thing in fact, was, up to; the -age of 33, a typiical EngLLsh- maini; to-day there is no more proaiounce-d a Naltiitoinal-i^t W'el-shnnian; in the whole Principality, and few lof it-he; m'afcive- bom sons of Wale's, have doiniei is-C) mulch1 for, the aittainimen't of her legiiti- malte niatioinal aspirations as" he has do,ne For seven- years before hils appointment to Cardiff he; had been, d>epuity it'ow.n cilerk of Sail- flor!dl, wlhere he1 wias aritiicl-ed to Mr Christopher Moor-house, thel town cil-e-rk, aaow so.li'ditor to the Yor-kshirie a:nd 'Lancashiire iRailway Compa.nv.

There are, 30,000. separate volumes of Wellsh books and M.S.S., or books -relating to Wall-es. Professor Sibs Morris, M.A., of ran- ger, describes if as "a ccimprelhemsive and nairioraal colklctioin in every respecit; every Denomination and Church is represe.rjted im- piartiallly and .exte.n.si'vely. An emii.nie.nit Frenelh scholar, M. d'Arbo.is de Jubainvi'lile, after a dieli-'ighted p-elnsomal inspection., said, "The -.ar- dli-ff Free L'br'ary pos'&s's.s.a's a m'agmifiic-enf co'l- lection 0f books- bearing on the I'l-incipali-ty of Wales."

We; may imoit agre-, that Carldoiff is par ex- ceTlenice ihiei ttowm which sibould be the recog- cap-tlal of Wales. But every loyal L-ymro- must adirnalc that Wales ought tohiav-e, and- would benefit by, a recognised capital, whether that oaplita.1 ibe .Cardiff or Carnarvon. More tlnam this, every unprejudiced' Welshman will admit ItlhlsWnlQl town. in. Wales has shown t'hak -spirit of eaiHerprriise, t-h-alt high .idea of devotion to public duty, whidh Cardiff has manifested. Andl to his .credit be it.recorded! that Mir vYesley is largely responsible far the exalted idelas -of public duity which 'Cardiff has for many ye'ars displayed. If it is Oard!ilff's 'ambition, to- be acknowledged the capital df 'Wales, we must concede -that it is -a wotritfby I2LDhldiion, the pursuit of .which has elevalte,di tihe whole tone of the; town's puiblic life, a.iiid tine; attainment of which Cardiff has shown herself prepared to. offer the sacrifices which lth-e worship of a high ideal always en- tails. Take a -single concrete in.stan'ce-—and it is here referred to because it illustrates in a marked manner 'tihe sfo&re Mr Wheat-ley has personally taken ,m: the lajttaimmenjt of Welsh, national as- piratiio.nis.

Colwyn Bay free Church Council. Education and Licensing Questions. A MEETING of the Colwyn Bay Free Church Counfcil was held in the Lectcx-e H'all of the Congregational Church on Monday evening. The Rev. H. T. Cousins, Ph.D., the presid-e.rit of the Council, occupied' the- chair. A (,ew Men's Guild. The tSecreLary (Mr J. T. Taylor) having read the minutes elf the previous aneetjing, The Rev. John Ediwards repor'ted upon the progress mace by the committee appointed to deal with rJhe question- of establishing a room for the use; of the men employed' on the im- provament scheme. MTI Edwards said' that the contrac-tors had been inter vielw ed severed 'tim,es, ar,d many promises Iliad' been. made. 'The comimiatee also, apprcaiched the Council, and found that body very willing indeed 'to help; the; movement. They h.a'd unani- mously granted the commdteiel the la!n!dl belhin.ci the site off the new municipal buildings, on which to- put up a roam-. But it seemed 'that the resident's of 'Jhait p-articular poiLion of the town were up inl arms against the idea. A most for- midable petition: had been prepared and sent to the Council. And in view elf the strenuous op- position, the lo,c,al Parliament had 'e:vide:n'tly felt atltrHe frightened., and had written to lth-e; ccim- miittee asking )to. be relieved from the agreement. The comimiltitee' did act wish to. injure anybody, and ihey relcolllunenlded that the idea of putting up a room on that site be relinquished. Olther sites; were then, discussed, and the whole question; we's relegated once1 more to the com- mifee-e. The Education Conference. In view c'f the conference on the education question, which is tp be held on, the 29th, in co.mneet'i'om with the- forthcoming Liberal demon- si-ralt?on, ltl-i,ei mee,Ing ?was of op-irio:,i 'thal?L?

Llandudno County School. A MEETING of the governors of this school was held on Thursday, Mr W. Bevan presiding in the absence) owing to indisposition', of the chairman, Mr J. Allanson Picton. A letter from Mr E. R. Davies, clerk of the County Education Committee, was read, in which he stated that as a result of his interview with Mr W. N. Bruce at the Board of Education it was now likely that the Board would approve of the original plans for the new county school building at Llan- dudno, involving an outlay of ^6,000, if they were resubmitted to them. Mr G. A. Humyhreys, the architect to the gov- ernors, wrote strongly urging that the second scheme should be adopted, this having been described by the consulting architect to the Board of Education as an excellent plan as now ar- ranged." The governors might carry out as much of the scheme as could be paid for out of the funds avaiJable-£6,000-and leave the remainder to be added later. Both sets of plans had been sent to the County Education Office at Carnarvon. The governors resolved that a copy of Mr Humphreys's letter be sent to the County Education Committee, with a request that as soon as possible one or other of the two plans should be sent to the Board of Education for approval. «.
