F° th, ———— Su It has become a commonplace nowadays to TI y that things are moving at a terrific rate. bil ,ny new departure by way of invention or A dat advancement or in the realm of literary H t is no sooner launched before the public w. >tice than it has become an established fact fo id moves on apace. This is particularly lo ue of the Welsh Drama. D E y- 1' 1Mb d AI\ loHMbiN 1 Or ULD ar PREJUDICES. jai h< Less than half a dozen years back, little w otice was taken of this powerful and effec- G ve medium of transmitting ideas and im- w arting knowledge. Indeed, there lurked in m le minds of many good and honest citizens 1 Wales especially a kind of undefinable dis- rc ke for, and .even antagonism to, anything IV iat savoured of the Stage." Much of this b. igotry, however, has been removed by the v npetus given to the Drama by the patronage e f such men as Lord Howard de Walden, Itr. D. Lloyd George, and the Rev. John tl Villiams, Brynsiencyn. There are some d Kings in our national life that ought to go, a. nd this is one of them. The irraational a pposition to innocent forms of recreation of d .musement,, &c., which, while entertaining, b je at the same time instructive, ought to give d 'lace to a greater appreciation of such enter- tI -rises as have the welfare of the community f4 it heart. f] 1 ti int.

People ;ee now what a tremendous influence for the [ ;ood the Drama can have. It requires no c;: .eer to proclaim its value as an educative kgency. Its far-reach ing scope in helping to f Duild up the social fabric and mould it into ts proper relations is unquestionable. Its )ower to reproduce phases of Welsh life and i :o emphasise native characteristics which lIMY 3r may not be inspired by motives and aspirations that are lofty, noble and beautiful, I ind refrain from base and sinister ambitions, the Drama ought to have the support, moral 1 and active, of all who have any interest in the common weal." the common weal., THF HOPFFI11 Of ITT OOkT .u. I A novel feature is the introduction ot the competitive instinct, an instinct so natural, so fascinating to all Welshmen. We love healthy and wholesome competition. Swan- sea has given the lead, where, no fewer than seven Dramatic Companies competed for prizes of £15 and £5. Other places may be expected to follow on. In fact, Tumble has already issued its programme of conditions, and has fixed on the week commencing February 2nd, 1920, as the dates of the com- petition. This little mining village in the Gwendraeth Valley deserves more than con- gratulation, and the venture merits full public support and unqualified success.

Lieut.-Col. W. N. and S. Dyffryn, Ammanford (chairman of the with -eroors), presided. The prizes were Tho ributed by Mrs. L. N. Powell, Carreg- tncti len.

Twopence cool the 5. was allowed to be levied for the Hai .port of the schools. By 1916, under Mr. hist her's Act, which really centres round Ev :ondary Education, all restrictions as to Mu is aid were withdrawn. The Elementary hist lools now became really preparatory sati ools. With regard to the view the com- Evi nity took of the movement, he mentioned Da ± when he came there the school for some Ha Ie numbered 100. It served both the tior uidilo district and the Amman Valley. Ell IW there were two schools serving the dis- Fre :t. In the Ammanford School there were jOl1 3 at present, whereas at Llandilo School Mc se were 260, so that the 100 in twenty an< us had grown to 55, and these numbers M< 1 not represent all that would be in the net tools if they could be admitted.

He welcomed NX Irs. L. N. Powell and Mr. Glynne Jones, 2, oth of whom had practical experience in the R 'ork of schools, and so were certain to have very sympathy for education. R G The Chairman, in his address, mentioned C iat this was the twenty-fourth annual prize tV istribution of that school which he had C ttended. He congratulated the headmaster V nd staff on the excellent results achieved uring the year. The accommodation not 0 eing sufifcient to meet the increasing J* emands for admission, the Chairman said J1 ie Governors had in contemplation a scheme yr enlarging the school. He read a letter E rom Mr. Davies, the vice-chairman, regret- E ing his absence, which was due to his having I- ) attend the funejal of the Rev. W.

To relieve overcrowding at latter school, the Committee approved of hire of Capel Newydd Vestry at an lal rental of £20. Tie communication further stated that the ry of Miss S. E. Jones, headmistress at nant Infants, had been readjusted, and she Lid henceforth be paid at the rate of ;i2m annum. he Committee intimated that tenders were- Lg invited for the erection of a new Infants' ool at Brynamman. anctiorl was given to the salary of the ygroes Cleaner being increased to £ 36. "he Parcyrhun Cleaner (Mrs. Davies) lied for an increase m her present salary. £ 39, which was utterly inadequate. )n the motion of the Chairman, an increase £50 was recommended. he Education Committee intimated that tiad been resolved that Miss May Jones, ) was recently appointed to Ammanford ints School, and Miss E. M. Tranter uld exchange places. rhe Chairman observed that it was a bad- gain for Parcyrhun, as Miss Tranter was- eacher of ten years' experience. He pro- :ed as a Manager of the Parcyrhun School. rhe Headmistress of the Ammanford Mits* School wrote that, on the instruction the Medical Officer of Health, the Infants' lool was closed for three weeks owing to, serious epidemic of measles. At the end last week a rapid and large increase of es occurred, as many as forty new cases ng reported on Monday morning. A. circular from the Education Committee s read respecting the granting of holidays, 1, despite the limitations imposed, it was. alved to confirm the previous decision as- Christmas holidays, namely, that the lools be closed from the 23rd to the 6th 3X. The County Architectpeported on having: ipected the Drill Hall, Ammanford; the >man Catholic Chapel, and the Church )OMI to relieve the overcrowding. He found e Drill Hall much too large; the Catholic lapel was more suited for the purpose, and e Church Room was well adapted. The- icar at first was averse to giving the use of e last-named building, but he promised to ve the matter his ifurther consideration. The Clerk reported that the Medical officer had ordered the closing of the Peny- oes School till the 5th prox., owing to an. ltbreak of diphtheria and a virulent form of 1:L:- I I -1-1 J.

It was resolved to request the Committee accede to the application. The Brynamman Head-teacher (Mr. Jenkin mes), in his report, made feeling reference- o the death of the Rev. W. D. Thomas, ho had been Manager of the School since Ie Education Committee came into existence. he school and children were very near to is heart, and they greatly regretted his loss. The Chairman: We can all join in with- iat. The Rev. D. J. Moses moved that a letter f condolence be sent to the relatives. The lev. Mr. Thomas was one of the oldest Managers of the Group, and a very faithful nd capable member, and his loss would be 1t. Mr. D. J. Jones seconded, and the Chair- ian added that they sympathised with the- amily very much. The late rev. gentlemen ias an excellent Manager, and he would be ery much missed. The vote was canied in silence. The Clerk reported that this year the E ducation Committee resolved not to appoint lead-teachers for the Evening Schools, as alii upervision would be done by the Commit- ee's Inspector of Schools and Mr. Bellin- ie (the Clerk) informed the eight teachers iffected by this, and some of them kicked igainst it.
