ITEMPERANCE IN SCHOOLS. I
TEMPERANCE IN SCHOOLS. I Deputation from Carmarthenshire I Churches. Carmarthenshire Education Committee I at Carmarthen on Thursday (Aid. H. Thos. Thomas, Llanfynydd, presiding) re- ceived a stlTOlg deputation representing I the churches of the county, who urged I the inclusion of temperance teaching in th« curriculum of the day schools. The Rev. Hugh Jones (Llanelly), one of the deputation, suggested that all th:: teachers should be asked to make a point of teaching tenipcrance. This question was not merely a fad of a few, but was one which entered into the life of the country. The Rev. D. G. Thomas (Llanstephan) said a sympathetic letter had been re-j reived from the Bishop of St. David's, and Miss Rosina Davies (Ferryside) aid the women of Carmarthenshire felt that the moral character of their children was more important even than their educa- tion. After the deputation had spoken, the Clerk (Mr. J. W Nicholas) explained that a resolution was passed about nine years ago that the teachers be directed to in- clude temperance instruction in the schools curriculum. The Rev. R. H. Jones (Llangendeirne) said tho resolution was an amendment to a motion by the Iato Rev.T. Johns (Llan- I elly) that peripatetic teachers be employed to teach temperance. The matter wa, left to the head teachers, and where the Lead teacher was not in sympathy, the question was neglected. The committee should take steps to ensure that the seiev. tific side of the question was taught as; well as the moral side. Lady Dynevor supported temperance teaching in the schools, and a committee was appointed with a view to putting the above resolution into practical effect.

SCHOOLS OF ART. I Growing West Wales Institutions I Need More Money. Applications were received by the Car- marthenshire Education Committee on Thursday for increased grants to the Carmarthen School of Art and the Llan- elly School of Art. It was stated that the grant to Carmarthen was increased in January, 1918, from L120 to £200, and the grant to Llanelly from £175 to £ 225 in April, 1918. Mr. J. R. Jones (Llanelly) said the Llanelly School was started with 50 pupils, and now there were 240. They coukf not hone tn cl)iv with the increased scholars unless they had an mere a so of £ 150 in grants. Eventually the matter was referred to a committee.

Dear Sirs.—Baby was very thin « when born, and having to be arti- ficially fed, he was very weak. We |I tried almost all the noted foods, j|j but none agreed with him. We had heard good accounts of Virol, so « we decided to try it. and after two or three weeks Baby seemed more |jj contented, and had gained in weight.

His work will bo much read during Christmastide, for few books or magazines will not contain a Dickens quotation, his words of cheer livening up jaded lires, turning the profiteer into a philan- throphist, comforting bereaved folk, teaching to cynics anew the dignity of; ^oinfiuhood, and suggesting to sensitive tfiinds many modern Tiny Tims who will be hoisted upon broad shoulders and car- ried off to the toy bazaar. And so long as he is read there will be one gentle and humanising influence the more at work among men. V "Westward Ho!" the Drama.

Well, my friends at Tumble and the neighbourhood ¡ have my best wishes for their big event: in January. As to the suggestion con-1 tained in my friend's epistle, that Mr. Dan Matthews and his company might stand down this time, to give others a chance, I am reliably informed that the Pontardulais company will not compete, and that Mr Dan Matthews has been in- vited to be one of the Tumble adjudi- cators. fs not that all serene," my friends? An Appeal to the 'West Metropolis' I Ammanford's aspirations for the National Eisteddfod of 1922 are rapidly ciystallising into confidence of success. The promoters of the movement are very fortunate in having a' man of the tem- perament, energy and keenness of Mr. T. •I Pees to push their claims in advance. He has already succeeded in getting the Swansea Cymrodorion Society to agree to forego their own claim and to throw in their lot with Ammanford, with the pro- viso that, if Ammanford should fail to capture the hards and the National TT;steddf;id Association in their coming applicaton, Swansea wll he in on its own for the 1924 gathering. But Ammanford will not fail if all TV est Wales renders its united support. Swansea Corporation will hf. asked, as the governing body of the Metropolis of the great West, to pass a resolution in favour of Ammanford—and there is no doubt as to what the response -c, ill he. The Housing Position. I The most interesting incidcni. in the direct administration debate at Swansea Housing Committee was perhaps that in I which Mr. Harding described as shame- ful and poor-principled the statements from the Labour side that the building I operatives would give better service if there were direct administration than II' they gave to private builders. Mr. Harding, of course, spoke as a builder who has risen from the ranks, and was j patently sincere when he said that as an operative he would have made no differen- tiation in the quality of the service ren- j dcred. Mr. Harding did not mention it, I but there is a common idea still that, in some cases at any rate, it could he proved that service for the community is in reality not so full as for the private em- ployer. Evidence on this point ought to be possible, and ought to be weighed, hut the immediate point of interest, next to the admitted unsatisfactory progress with Swansea schebies, is this: In the present emergency ought the fact that a middle- man. the contractor, receives a share or his risk, the use of his plant, and his administrative ability (as the workman receives a share for his labour) to stand in the way of the most whole-hearted cftort to reduce the deplorable need- I The Varsity Match. I I A colleague who has seen little Rugby football in recent years (none in Swan- sea), and almost as little Soccer, tells me that his impression after seeing the Cam- bridge match is that in the frequent esti- mates of the merits of the two codes, and of the reasons for the decline in Rugby's popularity, sufficient allowance has not j heeIllJJade for its virtual cessation I during the war. It .%va.. patent, he thought, that the All Whites have yet to held an experienced hack division, but that when it is available (as it Will be) I the already great heeling abilities of the pack will secure such spectacular play as rarely graces the rival code. When we can have ten times as many of the sort of movement that secured Cambridge's only try crowds at St. Helen's will go up Ivy- leaps and bounds. They do not come early, and meanwhile the All Whiter can be congratulated on their efforts.
