MERIONETH INTERMEDIATE 11 T.N EDUCATION. A meeting ;of the Merioneth Intermediate Edu- catirn Committee was held on Thursday of last week a". Bala, when there were present Dr Edward Jones, chairman Mr \Y. Davie', Caeiblaidtl Mr E. Parry Jones, illr T. E. Ellis, I.P., aod lr Thomas Jones, county clerk. The Coinmi t e (le,i to consider the scheme as published by t ie Charity Commissioners, when Mr Eiiis thought that of t ie number appointed by the County Council 011 the County governing body, a pro- portion shouid be w omen, seeing that the schools of the county would be dual schools. Mr DAVIES asked if chat would militate against the appointment localof women on the governing bodies o sch ols ? Mr ELLIS thought it would rather encourage the app dntment of women on the local bodies. On edu- cat'on?! bodies where women had been appointed they had been very zealous and hard-working. Unless women were ou the County Governing Body, scholar- ships might be devoted mainly to boys and net to girls as well a, boys. <=> Mr PARKY JONES observed that it was desirable tha the balance of power should be in the hands of the County Council. Mr DAVIES.—Anl you cannot appoint simply because women are not on the County Council. Tile CHAIRMAN and Mr ELLIS p >inted out that no doubt the County Council would appoint some of the governors from outside their own body. In discussing th<> words may," "shall" and "will," Mr I)AERV,) ON P", a phrase women shall be governors," to which the County Clerk humorously sucrovsted an amendment women will be governors." As it app 'ar-d that the appointing bodies will have discretion in the appointment of women, it was decided to leave the number to the discretion of the appointors it being stipulated, however, that one of the co-op- tative governors shall be a woman in addition to the woman appointed as governor of Dr William's school, and a woman governor from Bala, Dolgelley, Festiniog and Towyn, appointed by the School and LocalBoards. In reply to the Chairman who had asked in whom would the land given by Mr David Davies, of Bar- mouth be vested, the COUNTY CJÆRK said that it wculd be vested in the official trustee of charity hnds. The CHAIRMAN, referring to Dolgelley, said that the Committee had power to deal with endowments of a Church character and that by and bye the Com- mittee would compile a scheme dealing with those en- dowments. Dolgelley, Barmouth and estiniog had power to conduct their schools for five years in temporary buildings. As the scheme would come iuto operation at once as soon as it had been sanctioned he did not fee why the same privilege should not be accorded to Dolgt lley. The Committee agreed to accord the privilege far as they are concerned On the suggestion of Mr ELLIS, it was agreed to strike out the words from clause 57 The county school for girls at Bala, if and when established, shall be a day school only," with the object of empowering the Bala people to make provision for bearding if at any time they should so deem it desirable to make such proviion under the succeeding sentence In every other case, the county school shall be a day school,and if the county on rning body ontherequestof I the school managers so determine, a boarding school." In respect of clause S4 the Commissioners dis- approved of the Committee's wording which allowed of the admission of a scholar after the age of 17 on _L__l- .n1 n!}caa permission or tne ma-nageia wrucn ill might be given upon the written recommendation of the HcA(li)ast-r. The Commissioners limited the age to 17 and to IS in special cases, pointing out that the university colleges made provision for the education of backward scholars. Mr PARRY JONES spoke strongly in favour of the Committee's wording, observing that some of the brightest scholars and men from Festiniog had passed through elementary schools, then gone to work, and afterward gone hack to school. At the present tune there were boys in Bala school who had been at work since having the elementary school. In the case of one of them, the father, being an invalid, was not sufficiently well (1ff to send the boy to an intermediate school. the lad therefore went to work, kept up his education by attending night schools, and when he had earned wages went, with the assistance of the chapel, to Bala School where he was now one of the Ixightest scholars. No doubt, the new intermediate school would abolish private adventure schools. There- fore if there was no power to admit young people after 17 into intermediate school, scholars of the class to which lie had referred would be debarred from pursuing an educational courfe which more mature thought and experience had shown them to be peculiarly suited. The CHAIRMAN svid he remembered feeing the Rev Griffith Ellis, Bootle, at work at Aberllefenny. He afterward went on to Oxford, distinguished himself, and became one of the most brilliant members of his denomination. He (,-he Chairman) had no doubt the County Council would decide in favour of the clause as worded by the Committee. Mr ELLIS said lie had no strong views on the subject originally, but had been converted by Mr Parry Jones. It was, agreed to request the Commissioners to reinsert the clauses, iitid it was afterward decided to ask for the reinsertion of clause 91 relative to religious worship and teaching in boarding houses and hostels. On the schedules, it was agreed to add "Donors of not less than £ 100 to be governors for life and donors of not Ie-s t)'an f50 governors for ten years." It was agreed to leave the matter of calling a special meeting of the County Council to consider the scheme to the Chairman of the Council and the Clerk. The CHAIRMAN said it was desirable to fix an early meeting to consider the compilation of a supple- mentary scheme dealing with the endowments of Llanegryn, Llangelynin, Llanbedr, Llandanwg, and the denominational endowments of Dolgelley Grammar School. 0 In reply to Mr Parry Jones, who asked for all information, Mr ELLIS stated that Merioneth was entitled to the first enquiry into charities. The Committee then resolved itself into a Technical Instruction Committee A letter was read from the University College of Wales saying that it was willing to give lesons in cookery in th L- four centres named by the County Council. Mr PARRY JONFS thought that the Committee should shape its technical instruction tclieme on a broader basis than that of one subject. By taking other subjects it was possible to earn a government gra.it of 12s. per scholar under 21 years of age. Arrangements could bo made with the local school teachers to take two subjects and Aberystwyth College could be relied upon for lessons in cookery. The Committpe approved the suggestion, and it was resolved to request Aberystwyth to co-opt*-ate with the centres with the view of earning a grant. It was also resolved to request Mr Parry Jones to acquaint the authorities at Aberystwyth with his views. The CHAIRMAN s'ated that the Committee now came to the dead lock in respect of the giving of lectures in agriculture iu ten centres of the county hpy >nd the Mawddacii. The University College of Wale." iv 1 entered into an agreement with Bangor College, alto^.ther behind the hack of Merioneth, limiting the agricultural lectures by Aberystwyth to idx centres south of the Mawddach. As far as he 01. was aware, the Agricultural Uepari-fnent had now washed its hands of the affair, leaving the matter between the Colleges and the county. Mr ELLIS said he had received a letter from the Department saying that it would recoenise the work done in the county by Aberystwyth. Upon the receipt of that lette-, he wrote to Mr Gardiner asking him to call upon the Principals of Bangor and Aberystwyth to cancel the agreement which was unconstitutional, seeing that two Principals meeting together in London in the house of Sir John Puleston and signing an agreement, had no right or power to prescribe how Mcri,;ne'h should expend its rates. Mr Gardiner replied that he had no power to call upon anyone to cancel the agreement. No one, however, had any power to enforce its provisions. Mr Ellis replied that the Agricultural Department had made the Principals enter into the agreement and should therefore direct them to cancel it. To that Mr Gardiner replied that the Board had no power to compel them to enter into the agreement or to cancel it. Mr DAVIFS, Festiniog, proposing that the Principals should be called upon to voluntarily set aside the agreement, it was unanimously agreed to so call upon them, as it was entered into without consultation with or approval of Merioneth, tha.t it interfered with the pxpenditure cf rates by the county, and frustrated the carrying out of the county scheme of agricultural instruction. The Committee also resolved to again call upon Aberystwyth College to supply the lectures in the whole county. I
