EVENING SCHOOLS. SATISFACTORY REPORT ON WORK AT LLANGOLLEN. The following- is a copy of the renort made by II. M. Inspector on the Lla ngollen Evening School for the Session 1007.8 "For the varintv »r*< i «.'■ j of the work this school is, perhaps, the i't,aiiised J.n Denbigh- shire. The ellipse >,a.'e been organised with a due regard to the needs of the district, and their success is largely due 6 the active sympathy of the managers, not the least prominent of whom was Mr. John Rowlands, phose death this year has deprived the town of I^angollen of a resident with whom zeal for the education of the young had become a passion. Th^i teachers have been selected with special care and ajll are well qualified to do the woA- which they hav<$undertaken. Many of the students have attended! classes in previous sessions with the result that wo,rk of an advanced character is now done, particularly in the Drawing Class (members of which halve distinguished themselves in examinations) and iri Shorthand. Good progress was made in Typewritijng and in Commercial Sub- jects. The attendance in the Domestic Science Classes is not so larqe as could be wished; the lesson given at the visii of inspection was excellent. Of special interest this year were the classes in Welsh, particularly the advanced class, in which the students prepared for the Gorsedd Examinations of the National Eisteddfod of Wales held at Llan- gollen. Marked progress was made in the Wood- carving Class, the pupils of which showed great interest in their work. The managers would do well to consider the advisability of establishing a class in Gardening during the Summer months and, during next session, of affiliating the Eisteddfod Choir with the Evening School. It would be a pity for suoh a choir to lapse."

IDENBIGHSHIRE EDUCATION.
I DENBIGHSHIRE EDUCATION. COUNTY SCEOOL SUCCESSES. A special meeting of the Denbighshire Education Committee was held on Friday, at Chester, following a meeting of the Intermediate Education Sub- committee. Mr. W. G. Dodd, chairman of the Education Committee, presided, and moved that county exhi- bitions of L30 each, tenable for three years, be awarded to John H. Mackie. of the Ruabon County School, and Frank Lewis Heywood, of the Wrex- ham Boys' County School, who headed the honours list for the county in the Central Welsh Board examination. Mr. John Roberts, one of the secretaries of education for the county, stated that these boys last year won exhibitions of £ 25 each, which were reserved for them, but they would now take advantage of the 430 scholarships and surrender those won last year. Mr. Dodd moved his resolution subject to that being done. He congratulated the governors and the bead master and staff of the Ruabon County School-it was the Ruabon Grammar School when he was a punil there-on the high position which the school had taken. It had done well not merely in one year, but for several years, and had taken its place with the best in Wales. Mackie had won the chief inspector's gold medal as being the bett boy in the whdle of Wales, and he had keen fortunate enough two months ago to win an open scholarship of £100 for four years at Braseoose College, Oxford. Mr. G. Cromar seconded the moiion, and said that he would like to congratulate n)t merely the governors aad staff, but also the scholars them- selves on the brilliancy and talent they hid dls- played.—(Hear, hear.) The motion was carried, and Mr. Christmas Jones, one of the Governors, said he was sure his colleagues and the h ad master and the school staff would qppreciate the complimentary references that had been made to them. The Chairman then moved that county exhibi- lons of £ 2o each be awarded to Arthur William Willmmt, Wrexham Boys' County School, and Reginald Knowles. Denbigh County Sjhool, who came next int order ot m-rit on the hoaours list. He also moved that the two exhibitions surrender- ed by Machie and Heywood be awarded to the scholars next on the honours list, namely, Margaret Gir!s' County School, and Hywel Harris Jones, Denbigh County School The successes of the Denbigh County School were remarkable, as many as seven pupils beinsr raid Thr^Vw, J 0e?'»' W»'8' B°»«i honoori list Three Welsh county schools had seven pupils each on the honours list-Cardiff, FestiniogP?nd D«- high. and the Denbigh boys we-re viery high up in the list. This was remarkable testimony to the good work done at Denbigh in the last few years by the head master and staff, and was also much to the credit of the governors, who had been under greater difficulties than some of the Denbighshire schools owing to their smaller financial resources. Mr. Harrison Jones (Denbigh), seconded the motion, remarking that the Governors had taken a great deil of trouble to keep within their mems to work economically, and at the same time to give a good education in the schoools. The Rev. Thomas Lloyd (Colwyn Bay) pointed r out that Denbighshire secured one-eighth of the places on tie honours list for Wales, a seventh of the distinctions, and a sixth of the successes in the _igber honours subjects. The county had there- tore done remarkably well. The resolution was carried. The Chairman stated that Mr. J. E. Powell, the chairman of the Intermediate Education Sub- committee, bad met with a serious accident, which had laid him up for two or three weeks. He was now getting better, and the Committee would wish ¡,bat the veteran educationist of the county would soon return to his accustomed place.-(Hear, hear.) PENSION OFFICERS. Ooe of the school attendance offioers of the county had applied for leave to apply for a post as f ,0 a ioca! pensions committee, Mr. John Roberts, secretary, expressed the opinion that for twelve months at least the duties of clerk to a pensions committee would be somewhat onerous and the Committee declined the apolication, as the whole of the time of tbe attendance officers should be given to their own duties. AUTONOMY IN EDUCATIQN. r7r following resolution had been forwarded by the Cardiganshire Education Committee :—•' That, this meeting of the Cardiganshire Education Authority urges upon His Majesty's Government the desirability of introducing a bill in the next session. of Pari ÍcHnent (1909), for the creation of a ministry responsible to Parliament for Welsh attains, and which shall also provide for the establishment of a national council to have control over education in the Principality, including Montaounafshire." c The Chairman said the Denbighshire Cooaoiittee had already convened a meeting of education authorities dealing with a similar question. The wording 0f the resolution was a little different he Cardiganshire resolution, but the who;e matter was coming under the consideration of the Oojiierence. The meeting was to be at Shrewsbury on fcep .ember 25th. on fcep .ember 25th. THE HONOURS LIST.

The Vicar said he felt he had lost a friend and neighbour in the truest sense. vtqUieJ way in which Mrs. Green sympathised with aud helped all who were in trouble was greatly to ba admired. He sincerely sympathised with the relatives in their loss. Continuing, the -i^eV" rf' k- Jones spoke of the manner in which Mrs. Green helped the poor and needy, and said that no one knew the extent of the good she bad done in the district. The Rev. Evan Jones, Merthyr, a former minister at Glyn, also spoke. He said he had had the pleasure of knowing Mrs. Green for fifty years,. during the few years he was a minister at Glyn be had very close relations with her, and he could tell them that it was very doubtful if they would have been meeting in that building but for Mrs. Green, who gave them the greatest encouragement to enter upon the work and assisted them very generously. He considered the Church at Glyn » monument to her faith and liberality. Rich in the things of this world, she was exceedingly kind to the poor, and was always anxious to assist, those in need. The service in the church closed with the singing of G NBed y Groes." The procession te-formed outside the church nml proceeded through tile streets of the village, which were lined with the children of the Council School, to the Hillside Cemetery. Here the Revs. J.

THE MOTOR NUISANCE.
THE MOTOR NUISANCE. To the Editor of the Llangollen Advertler." Sir, I quite agree with your correspondent Dr Hughes, in all hp says. There is no doubt that these hideous advert:sement boards are becoming a nuisance in our fair valley. What has struck me is this What is the use of advertising that you stock such and such a tyre when all the cars that come through our town have at least one spare tyre attached? If they did want a new tyre surely they can find the garage without being told about it two miles into the country. Again I see no benefit in advertising these hotels in the same way. People make arrangements when they go for holidays, and are not likely to settle where they are going to stay on seeing a board stuck up in the hedge on the roadside. It is said that the Vale of Llangollen is the naunt 01 pedestrians, lovers of the beautiful invalids, wenry and broken-hearted. Did not William Kozlitt say "I Went to Llangollen Vale by way of initiating myself into the mysteries of natural scenery, and I must say I was enchanted with if." Yes, hp said so, but there were no signs of advertisement boards and dust then. Your correspondent says that the remedy lies in an appeal to the owners of the land that is used for such a base purpose. I should like to know whether these advertisers pay them rather handsomely for the privilege, I think not. If an appeal to the landowners faits. we have another course open, and that is to petition the Council. An Act was passed in 1907 for enabling local authorities to make bylaws for regulating or preventing the exhibitilil of advertisements in such places and in suctl manner as to affect injuricusly the amenities of a public park or pleasure promenade, or to disfigure the natural beatuty of a landscape, Which I certainly believe they do.-Yours, &c., DEWI REDMOND.
