a — Haverfordwest School Managers. EDUCATION COMMITTEE CENSURED. HIGH HANDED POLICIES. WILL NOT CONSULT MANAGERS At a meeting of the local School Mana- gers, held at the Shire Hall on Friday, the Rev. James Phillips occupied the chair, and there were also present Ven. Archdeacon Hilbers, Revs. Owen Jacobs, 0. D. Camp- bell and D. Akrill Jones, and Mr. W. T. Davies. Mr. W. T. Davies said that some members of the Education Committee were not quite satisfied about the closing of the schools on the occasion of outings by the Boys' Brigade. It was thought that the members of the Brigade could be withdrawn without closing the school. The Chairman: That is exaetly the thing they would censure us for if we decided. Mr. W. T. Davies remarked that twelve half holidays were allowed during the year, and perhaps the schools would be closed when the school staff would not desire it. The Chairman: The Committee censured us for giving leave to the boys to absent themselves. Mr. Davies: The members of the Boys' Brigade ? The Chairman: Yes. Archdeacon Hilbers mentioned that the Managers were asked to grant the members of the Boys' Brigade six half-holidays. The Managers cut them down to three, and pointed out that it would be necessary to close the schools on those days, otherwise the Education Committee would raise the objection that they were destroying the at- tention of the school and losing the grant. Mr. Davies agreed with those members of the Education Committee who thought it would be better for the schools to be closed when the members of the staff and the school generally desired to be off. Rev. D. Akrill Jones asked if twelve holi- days were taken during the year? The Chairman said he didn't know, but promised to look up the matter. The Architect, forwarded some suggestions for the consideration of the Managers in consequence of the new regulations for cleaners necessitating some alteration in the present arrangements. Rev. 0. D. Campbell complained of the way in which some alterations and additions had been carried out at Prendergast school. He said that originally a cloak room was erected for the infant school with a door close to the offices and a window. The Chairman said it had been altered. Mr. Campbell: Because we demanded that [it should be altered. Mr. Campbell said what he desired to know was whether it was' the general policy of the Education Authority to accept plans and begin work at the schools without the Managers being consulted at all. The Chairman: I believe in the case of extensive alterations, the rule of the Build- ing Committee is to submit tenders to us. Rev. D. Akrill Jones asked if plans were submitted with the tenders. The Chairman: That is more than I can tell you. Rev. 0. Jacobs. Tenders would be useless unless we saw the plans. The Chairman: For my own part I didn't see them. The Clerk said they were not sent. Mr. Campbell: After the wall was put up it had to be pulled down. The schoolmis- tress and the Managers of the school should have been consulted. The Chairman remarked that the removal of the door was a very great improvement. Rev. D. Akrill Jones held that the Mana- gers should take some steps that plans re- r-a.rding alterations and additions to the schools should be submitted to the Mana- gers with the tenders. Rev. Owen Jacobs asked why were not the Managers consulted about the preliminary work. Mr. W. T. Davies thought the architect was given a great deal of latitude. The Chairman: No doubt about that. On the motion of the Rev. D. Akrill Jones, seconded by the Rev. O. D. Campbell, the Managers decided to call the attention of the Education Committee to the advisability of their submitting for the Managers' ap- proval all alterations and additions to build-, ings under their management, also that! such work should not be undertaken with- out due notice to the Managers in order that they might. make such provision as was necessary for the carrying on of the school meanwhile. Rev. O. D. Campbell said that at the last meeting of the Managers certain reflections were cast by the Chairman on the Mana- gers, or one of the Managers of Prendergast school for closing the school. He was not the person who closed the school, but he thought it would have been a cruel thing in the month of December to have kept the little children on a wet day in the school, with part of the wall out, and with cold and dust coming in. He did not think that structural work of that kind should have been undertaken without the Managers being consulted and arrangements made for the carrying on or the giving up of the school. It was impossible to have called together a meeting of the management at the time, and he wanted to know what was to be the rule observed on mergencies, -whether in the event of the roof faiiing in a member could not close the school with- out bringing down on himself a severe cen- sure. He could speak all the more boldly because he was'not the manager concerned in the matter, but he thought the manager was quite justified in the step he took, and he regretted the statements made at the last meeting. The Chairman said the Architect informed him that the closing of fhe school was ab- solutely unnecessary. Miss Perkins, how- ever, afterwards told him that there was a hole in the wall. Rev. D. Akrill Jones asked if individual managers were to use their discretion on emergencies of this kind when they were applied to by the master or mistress of a school. Archdeacon Hilbers: You run the risk of a censure. (Laughter). Mr. Jones said that if he found the chil- dren subject to a draught in cold weather he should have no hesitation in ordering that the school be closed. The Chairman agreed that a school ought to be closed if there was a large hole in the wall. He added that the workmen were prevented from going on with the work for the want of bricks. Mr. Campbell: It should be done when the children are not there, or during the holidays. Rev. D. Akrill Jones thought that on emergencies they must leave the matter to the discretion of the Managers. Mr. Campbell agreed. The Chairman said they had to exercise their discretion on an emergency, as it might be necessary to close a school on five minutes notice. t Archdeacon TTilhprs* T +Tn'nTr 00 Managers we have much discretion, but we exercise some. (Laughter). Mr. Campbell: I have been sent for several times over this work. I have tried to find the Architect, but he is not at home, and I have had to go again and again. The Chairman said the hole in the wall of the school altered the case; but it was a little bit startling to find that the school was closed for a week without any notice. Mr. Campbell explained that it was closed for so long because the building was stopped. For one or two days the workmen were doing nothing. The matter then dropped. Mr. T. ,C. Rees, of Barn Street Council School, wrote calling attention to the con- dition of the playground and the want of ventilation in the schoolroom. Rev. D. Akrill Jones said the condition of the Prendergast playground was also very bad, and a serious accident would surely happen there some day. In dry weather there were great boulders in the play- ground. Mr. W. T. Davies said the playgrounds were neglected by the old School Beards, and everything was now rushed on the Edu- cation Authority, who could not attend to all these things at once. Rev. O. Jacobs: The School Boards didn't do very much, did they? The Chairman: I cannot admit the censure. No doubt people expect so much more now that they have the county purse to fall back upon. Mr. Davies mentioned that the Education Committee received applications for every school in the county about the playgrounds, and it would cost about £11,000 to put every playground into a prope rstate of repair. A resolution was passed calling the atten- tion of the Education Authority to the need jf ventilation at Barn Street. Schoolroom, and to the need of repairs at both the Barn Street and the Prendergast playgrounds. The attendance returns for the past month showed a percentage of 76. for children aver five, the percentage was 80. a

Goodwick Land Seizure. ASSERTION OF PUBLIC RIGHTS. Owing to the Pembroke Estates Company intimating their unwillingness to grant a certain pitch of comomn land at Goodwick to the local education authority for the erection of a mixed elementary school, a number of residents on Saturday afternoon proceeded with tools and pegs, and marked aut the patch they required. The plot is ibout an acre in extent. After the ptgging -)ut process, the furze was fired, and speeches :0 the effect that the people would assert 'heir rights were made. I Negotiations by the Pembroke Estates .-ompany and the Llanwrda Parish Council [or the development and laying out of the joodwiek Common are in process, but noth- ng definite has yet been arrived at. The 3oard of Agriculture inquiry did not have he desired result.

iwacan. .8 LOCAL POLICE COURTS ROOSE.—Saturday. Before Messrs. W. Howell Walters (in the chair), J. T. Fisher, W.T. Davies, and A. W. Massy. WIFE DESERTION.—CASE DISMISSED. Jane John, of LIangwm, made an appli- cation for a separation order agaihst her husband, George John, on the ground of desertion. Mr. W. J. Jones, solicitor, Haver- fordwest, appeared for the defence. Mrs. John said her husband was a shoe- maker. They had been married nine years, and there were no children by the marriage. Her husband had deserted her for about seven weeks. Cross-examined: Her husband had come into the house at intervals during that period. They co-habited the previous night. Mr. W. J. Jones said that effectively dis- posed of the charge of desertion. He asked the magistrates to dismiss the case. Mrs. John made /allegations to the effect that, the defendant starved her for e^e^'e" week". For ths last few weeks he had brought, nothing into the house, and she had thought of applying to the W7orkhouse. Mr. Jones said there was not a word of truth in the statements made by Mrs. John. The magistrates dismissed the case, the Clerk intimating to Mrs. John that if she desired to do so. she could take out another summons against her husband for cruelty. DAMAGING MUNICIPAL PROPERTY. Albert. Wiles, a small boy, was charged at the instance of the Milford Haven Urban District Council with damaging a tree in Brook Avenue, to the extent of 3s. 6d. Mr. R. T. P. Williams, who appeared for the Council, said that the defendant, who was nine years of age, had wilfully ^a.n?" aged one of the ornamental trees, which were in Brook Avenue, by tearing away the leading branch and rendering the tree useless. It was difficult to press a charge against such a small offender, but the Mil- ford Haven Council had suffered consider- able loss and annoyance through wilful damage to the trees which had been planted along the public streets. The damaged tree had only been placed there a short time, and replaced a tree which had also been wilfully destroyed. The Council must be supported in their efforts to protect the public property, and he asked the magis- trates, in the event. of a conviction, to in- fiict. such a penalty as would deter others from committing similar offences. The Magistrates' Clerk: Did you break he tree? ( Defendant: Yes, sir. Mr. J. P. Morgan said he was a surveyor n the employ of the Milford Haven Coun- ;il. The trees had been planted for orna- -nental purposes, and were the property of the Council. The tree was entirety ruined, md would have to be replaced, the cost was 3s. 6d. The Council had suffered a lot if damage to their trees, and they decided t.o prosecute the first offenders secured. The Chairman asked the father if he bad thrashed the lad? Wiles: No, sir. Thp boy is subject to fits. The other boys, who told of him, did quite as much damage to the trees. Tho Chairman informed Wiles that he must. look after his lad or he would have to nav for all the oflrn:>t'e he did. They had at first, intended to make him pav the whole of the costs concurred, but. that would about, fifteen shillings. He would be fined 10s. including costs. THK NEW DO(;S' ACT. The Magistrates Cle.k reported to the magistrates that under the new Dogs' Aet( there had been 133 declarations, and the notice obiected to 23. The consideration was deferred to that day fortnight. John Rosser. of Haroidston. was charged with having been drunk and incapable at Broad Haven on Tuesday, January 1st. He was «;tpti*d to have been Ivirq down in the middle of the road, and to have re- quired assistance to his home. Fined 2s. 6d. and costs. Thomas Davies, of Nevland. for driving a horse and trap without a Jjriht in that place at 10.30 the previous Friday evening waF fined 7s. 6d. inclusive.

Pembroke Dockyard. A FAVOURABLE OUTLOOK. TWELVE MONTHS' ACTIVITY PRACTI- CALLY CERTAIN. According to a rumour which had been current at Pembroke Dock during the last few days, a. skeleton of the new shipbuilding porgramme for the Dockyard, which shows. that. it is proposed to expend several thou- sands of pounds more for labour during: the financial year, which commences in April next, than was provided by the dock- yard under that, head, in the current finan- cial year. It. has not been possible to verify the rumour, but there is little reason to doubt its accuracy as it accords perfectly! with the probabilities of the situation. Thej estimates for Government departments, in-[ eluding the Admiralty, are usually prepared j during November in each year, and a skele- ton of the proposals is invariably sent to I the establishments concerned. In official] circles at the dockyard it, therefore, appears probable that fhe approximate amount in- tended to be expended next year is known, j and that being so, the care invariably exer- cised to keep such matters secret, it is con- ceivable that the fact that there is an ex- cess in the estimates may have leaked out. Such an excess would appear to be abso- lutely necessary if the anticipated pro- gramme of work for the yard is to be carried through with the prompitude that circum- stances seem to suggest is likely to be in- sisted upon. The Warrior, which is now at Portsmouth undergoing her steam trials, is due to return to Pembroke Dock on Feb- ruary 1st or 2nd, and will, thereafter, be completed for sea. According to the figures given in the Navy Estimates for the cur- rent official year, a sum of £ 57,108. of which £16.208 is for dockyard labour, will remain to be expended on her after April 1st next. On the Defence, which by the date last named, will have been two years and two months in hand, and should be brought to completion about May or June, 1908, there will remain to be spent after that date £ 390.540. of which sum £ 102.402 will be for dockyard labour, and probably nearly seven- eights of which will be expended before April. 1908. There is also a new ship to b° laid down at the yard early in the year. which, as she will be a vessel of enfirelv new class, will undoubtedly be pressed on with. so as to complete her at the earliest no^sible date: and in order to accomplish 1 that a considerable vote for labour during 1907-8 will be necessary. She has been 1 officially referred to as a "mother" ship for t tcean-going destroyers, and in the descrip- « tion given of her by Lord Tweedmouth, it t .vaa stated that she would have a wider 1 range of action than the existing class of ( scouts" which discharge similar duties r towards costal destroyters. The scouts" are each capable of carrying only 150 tons of bunker coal, and are, therefore, deficient in sea-keeping capabilities. If the new "mother" ship is to have greater capabilities in that respect, she will, of necessity, have to be larger than any of the "scouts," the largest of which are the Pathfinder and Patrol, built by Messrs. Cammell, Laird and Co., Birkenhead, the principal dimensions of which are:—Length, 370 feet: breadth. 38feet 9 inches; mean load draught, 14 feet 2 inches; displacement, 3,000 tons; and'the cost. £273,147 and £273,532 respectively. The cost of the new ship should therefore be not less than £300,000, of which on a vessel of that class the cost of the hull should be about £ 150,000, of which upwards of £85,000 should be expended for labour. Assuming. therefore, that the construction of the ship is to occupy eighteen months, which is

■ Solva's First Housef A PICTURESQUE RUIN. The first house built at Solva, some 300 years ago, is now in ruins. It has been used as private and public house, and was also the first post office in thi place. It was kept by Mr. Henry Thomas, father of the late postmaster, Mr. Thomas Thomas, who will be remembered by several of the present inhabitants. Some 70 years or more have elapsed since tj^ first Post Office was opened at Solva. that time an old soldier, by the name of David John, went three times a week on foot to Haverfordwest (a distance of 12 miles) to secure the letters j and papers, which were very few, owing to the high rate of postage and newspaper duty. In later years a mule did the work, going there daily, but now the service is more up-to-date, a mail cart doing the work. The public-house was kept by a man of the name of Jarvis, whose two sons, we are told, occupied the important positions of captains of two of our warships. The old building is also the last thatched house at Solva.

Tenby Sea Message. DECLARED TO BE A HOAX. A sealed bottle was found on the South Sands, Tenby, on Friday morning by Mr. Louis Phillips, having been cast up by the sea. It was opened, and inside was found the following messageS.s. London City. 'Sinking fast mid Atlantic, Good-bye mother. —MOSES THOMAS. December 10, 1901." Written on the margin was the address,, "27, Castle Street, Hull." The message,! which is written upon Wills's tobacco wrap- pers, has been handed to the local coast- guard. It should be stated that the current num- ber of Lloyd's Register contains the entry of the steamship London City, built in 1882, and owned by Messrs. Furness, Whitby, and Co. (Limited), West Hartlepool. Messrs. Furness, Whitby and Company, of West Hartlepool, owners of the only steamer 'named the London City at present entered jin Lloyd's Register, replying to a wire from us on Saturday asking if they could explain jthe "message from the sea" found on i Tenby Sands, telegraphed as follows:- Message evidently a canard, as London City is still running, having sailed from London on Friday last. It will be remembered that the "mes- sage," which was enclosed in a bottle, re- presented that the London City was sinking in Mid Atlantic on December 10th, 1901.

In Dressing Gown and Silk Hat. QUEER CONDUCT OF A WELSH BAPTIST MINISTER. The Rev. T. T. Hughes, the well-known Welsh Baptist, minister, of Mountain Ash, was found at Treforest on Sunday afternoon under peculiar and rather sad circum- stances. He was fantastically clothed in a dressing- gown decorated with ivy leaves, and he also wore brown leggings and a silk hat. In his mouth was a cigarette. It appears that Mr. Hughes left his home early on Sunday morning, and he was traced down to Abercynon. His friends became apprehensive of his whereabouts, and it was not until he had reached Treforest, a ditance of nearly twelve miles, that his per- ambulations were arrested. When accosted he stated that it was his intention to go Cardiff, but he readily accompanied Police- constable Stibbs to the police-station, where he remained while his friends procured a cab to convey him to his home. Some time ago Mr. Hughes came promi- nently before the South Wales public by severing his connection with his Church at. Mountain Ash, and declaring his inten- tion to found "an Ideal Church." For some time he held services at the Salva- tion Army hall in Mountain Ash, but de- nied that, he intended to enlist under General Booth, remarking that he would re- main a Baptist to the end of his days

r-iri mi -!».»»». -1 longer than is probable, a sum of between £20,000 and £30,000 at least should be set aside for labour on her during 1907-8. This, with the large sum to be spent on the Defence, and what will be necessary to com- plete the Warrior, the official estimate of which is given above, seems to render a discharge of hands on such during 1907-8. such as was rumoured last week at Pem- broke Dock, to be in contemplation, abso lutely out of the question unless the Ad- miralty, while having in hand an abundance of urgent work, decides to reduce the yard for the sake of doing so, having in view a very extensive reduction later on, which will be contrary to a recent undertaking they are understood to have given a couple of months ago on the subject. Were is not that the discharge of men to make room for yard boys to be entered as men on attaining 20 years of age, is being insisted upon by the Admiralty, and that no objection is being taken to men being transferred to Devonport Dockyard at their own request an entry of hands during the year would seem a more likely eventuality. The forma- tion of a clearer idea of the probabilities will be more practicable after the Navy Esti- mates 1907-8 are issued in about six weeks time or less. Meanwhile it will be apparent from what has been stated as the immediate outlook that employees at Pembroke Dock yard and residents in the district have every rea^bn to hope for the maintenance of the dockyard in a state of activity during 1"907-8 whatever may happen subsequently. LOCAL ANXIETY RELIEVED Greater satisfaction with the recent Army Order is felt at Pembroke Dock, since it has been definifely known that the local garrison under the new scheme will consist of one heavy battery of Royal Garrison Artillery and one provisional infantry batta- non. It had been ifeared, judging from abridged Press reports of the distribution of troops under the scheme, that the pro- visional battalion would be divided between Pembroke Dock, Newport (Mon.), and Pres- ton, which would have involved a con- siderable diminution in the infantry garri- son of the town. Even now some anxiety is being expressed to know the probable average strength of the provisional battalion, which, singularly enough, is the only batta- lion so designated included in the entire list of the home army. A statement as to the proposed strength of a heavy "battery" of garrison artillery would also tend to re- lieve local anxiety somewhat. LORD CAWDOR'S VISIT. Lord Cawdor, ex-First Lord of the Ad- miralty, paid a visit to Pembroke Dockyard on Monday afternoon, and was conducted through the principal workshops and the new electrical power generating station by Mr. E.
