GREAT FORWARD MOVE. A meeting of the Welsh National Executive, which consists of representatives of the Welsh local education authorities, was held at Llan- drindod last week. The conference was private, but enough is known of what was done there to show that the movement, if it has been more silent of late, is not less vigorous. The Committee conferred with representa- tives of the Mountain Ash authority in view of the action of the Board of Education under the Default Act. With reference to the Roman Catholic school, a complete understanding was arrived at as to the course to be adopted, the Mountain Ash delegates entirely concurring with the recommendations of the Committee. The situation in Merioneth was carefully considered. Mr. Lloyd-George presented the report of a sub-committee, which had had several con- ferences with the leaders in that county. The sub-committee had unanimously concurred in the proposals of the county leaders, and these were now endorsed by the Executive. It was, however, resolved, in view of the enormous importance now attached to the situation, that the details of the further action it has now been decided to take in Merionethshire should not be disclosed. It was, however, authorita- tively stated that the measures about to be adopted will fully maintain the essential prin- ciples for which Wales has been fighting, and will, it is believed, place the Government in the position of having to promote further legis- lation if the present policy of the Board of Education is to be made effective. The situation in Montgomeryshire was also fully entered into. Here the situation, both in its financial aspect and in relation to the relative proportions of provided and non-provided schools, differs essentially from that presented by Merionethshire. The plan of campaign now suggested by the Executive for adoption in the county met with the hearty assent of the county delegates, and will be put in operation at an early date. It is said to be of an altogether different character from that about to be pur- sued in Merionethshire, and is authoritatively declared to be of such a nature as will force the fighting and give the whole kingdom an early object-lesson as to the intensity of the national feeling behind the movement." The plan of campaign will be in accord with the essential lines of the Cardiff resolutions.
