Culverfa in some instances were not lftrgc enough to receive the water. The ground floors of houses in Wellington-terrace were flooded, the water rushing in through the back and out through the front doors. For hours a strewn, flowed out through the entrance gate at V\ ernddu, causing much damage to the road there and do-i n tovrjsrds the Railway Station. The footpath at the lowest points below the Station was broken up by the rush of water across it and rendered impassable for some hours. Water is stilt tying in large sheets in places in the fields below the run- way. Such continuous heavy rain has not be-n experienced for very many years.

URBAN DISTRICT COUNCIL.—A special meeting of the Council was held last Saturday, Mr W. Watkins presiding, to receive the report of the Water Committee on their recent interview wi. h the Directors of the Water Company. The Com mittee reported that the following members met the Directors at the Company's office ou October 31st, viz —Messrs J. T. Jones (chairman of the Committee), W. Watkin (chairman of the Council), and T. Burnell, together with the deputy clerk, Mr J. Tobias.—A very exhaustive report on the" hole question of the water supply was submitted to tre Council. As to the Company's proposals for increasing the supply, the Committee stated that they were informed that plans were to be con- sidered by the Directors on the same day, immediately after the interview, aud that a tei-der had been received,—The Directors were not in a position to go into the details then, but they might say that a new reservoir was to be constructed near the Waenhelyg well with a capacity of a million gallons. Toe reservoir would be supplied from the well by pumping and would also receive the over- flow from the old reservoir. It was not intended to proceed with the driving of adits.—The additional works proposed by the late Mr Thomas Roberts, C.E., to the iCouncil in 1896 were men- tioned by the deputation, but the directors wen; of opinion that the scheme now proposed by th?m ,i, a, more satisfactory as regards supply.—The directors were asked whether in the event of the Council &gain suggesting the question of purchase thlY would be willing to sell and they replied that they would always be prepared to consider an < Her. The deputation were asked whether the Council would be dieposod to rent the Company's works to which they replied that they could not entertain the suggestion,—The deputation were In- formed that in any casa tlie purchase price must include the value of all the existing works and any works in course of construction, and, further, that negociations must not hinder the progress of the works as the Company would not think of another season being reached without something being done to provide an adequate supply.—A copy of the C uuty Aoalysts's report on the sample of water from VVaenhelyg obtained by the Council, was given to the Directors, who expressed the opinion that a better supply could not be desired. In concluding their report, the Committee stated that they had brought together all the available information they could think of to assist the Council, and the importance of the question was their only reason for treating the subject in so exhaustive a manner. They added that they were received most courteously by the directors and they were convinced of the earnest desire of the Company to do their utmost for the benefit of the town.—Oa the proposition of Mr J. T. Jones, the report was adopted.—The question was discueeedjat considerable length and eventually a resolution was proposed by Mr O. T. Williams That it having been shown from the Committee's report that the construction of a new reservoir to increase the present water supply is to be commenced forthwith, further consideration of the water question be deferred for the present.—The proposition was seconded by Capt Griffith Jones and carried nem con. -00 the motion of Mr Evan Jones, seconded by Mr D. Morgan Williams, the thanks of the Council were given to the Water Committee for their exhaustive report.

DR WILLIAMS'S SCHOOL, DOLGELLEY. ANNUAL PRIZE DAY. The annual distribution of prizes in connection with Dr Williams's School, Dolgelley, took place on Wednesday afternoon. A corresponding in- crease in the interest taken in the work of the school, naturally attending its continued growth and success, it was feared that the accommodation would be too limited in the School Hall, and the function was held in the Assembly Rooms, which was filled by an appreciative and enthusiastic audience. The room bad been tidied and decorated and had lost its usually hard and barren appearance in the skilful and artistic hands of the staff and pupils. The latter, who were charmingly dressed in white, occupied seats arranged in tiers on the platform, where they were the cynosure of all eyes. The chair was occupied by Mr Thomas Edwards, J.P., chairman of the School Governors, who shared the platform with Principal Roberts, Aberystwyth Mrs Holland, Caerdeon the Rev Francis H. Jones, and Miss Thomas, the headmistress. The CHAIRMAN, having opened the proceedings with a brief introductory speech in which he called a tention to the success and prosperity of the school, cilled upon the Headmistress. The HEADMISTRESS, who was received with cheers, in giving a resumfe of the work of the past year, said if it had not been that sheknew the audience were in absolute sympathy with the subject, she would feel some diffidence in praising the results of the in- struction given in the school. The number of pupils had been maintained and the proportion of English to Welsh girls was almost the same, namely, one-third, and the school continued to draw pupils from all parts of England and Wales. (Hear, hear.) The school was examined last summer by the Central Welsh Board. They had not yet received the formal report, but they had had the examiner's statement, of which one very satisfactory feature was that the work of th nigh< r forms was uniform gOJd. (Hear, hear.) The musical examination had not yet taken p ace. They had still the di fficulty to contend with of having girls sent ;') them year after year, some merely to learn music anrl co k.ry, Horne who knew no Englih, some who were m, nt mer ly t J be braced up by the I)olgellev air, With tho-re wno were sent to work and to b educated in the true seuse of the word. To do justice to all involved great work and anxiety. The standard of the school work was going high r and they had now ¡"irls who had matriculated in the Welsh and London universities. (Hear, hear.) Scholarships held by two girls from the school in the Univer ity College of Wales, Aberystwyth, had been renewed to them for the third year. The school bad also done well in tennis and hockey. (Cheers.) The health of the school had been excellent. The Headmistress al"o referred to the e-tabliohment of the Old Girls' Association, who gave one of the priz-s that day, and s-iid never was there a school which received greater loyalty from past and present pupils and had a stronger corporate life. (Applause.) In conclusion, she ex- pressed her great indebtedness to her staff, who threw themselves as keenly into the girls' nlav as into the girls' work and did everything for the best interests of the school-(applause)- to the ladies who hid given prizes, and to those who had so kindly entertained the girls during the year. (Applanse.) Principal Roberts then distributed prizes to the following pupils :-Form prizes—Form II: Trixie Owen, Gladys Jtlf-Reveley, Gwen Richards. Form III (b) r Vera Arnfield, Nellie Bevan.

Principal ROBERTS, who was received with applause, expressed the pleasure he felt at being pre- sent to distribute theprizesand to rejoice slong'wit'i all of them in the great success whicn attended the work of the school. (Cheers.) Remarking upon the all-round success of the school, regarded not merely from the point of view of the old tests of efficiency, he said he was eurprieed to find that the English essays done in connection with the subject of English were throughout good, and some of them excellent. (Cheers). Knowing a good deal as he did about the work of Welsh students, he was in a position to say that to pro- duce good essay writing was one of the most difficult tasks with which they were confronted as teachers, and he was very glad to see that that work was attempted there and with such encouraging success. (Hear, hear.) Another point which struck one in connection with the same vital subject of English was, that the reading of English aloud was cultivated in the school, and well cultivated. They wanted in their Welsh schools to cultivate style-in the best sense of the word- to cultivate address. He was sure that those who were acquainted with the way in which appointments were made in that country at the present time would know that a man or woman applying for the position of a teacher should not only be able to present evidence that he or she possessed the standard of knowledge and training required, but the candidate must undergo a searching personal interview at the time, which was intended, so far as that could be done, to test their personal qualities. (Hear, hear). Before proceeding, Principal Roberts continued, to call your attention very briefly to one point of educational principle that seems to arise at the present stage in the work of secondary schools, in doing which my intention is to encourage teachers-for I think that they need encouragement-(hear. hear)—I desire to congratulate you most sincerely upon the appointment of Miss Thomas to the headmistress-ship of this school. (Cheers.) I have known Miss Thomas for many years-from the beginning of her career as a student in tbe University College of Wales, Cardiff-and I well know her great ability and her sterling character. (Cheers.) I am proud of the fact that Miss Thomas's services have been enlisted for this important school and for this county in Wales. (Hear, hear.) When I refer in this way to the Headmistress, I also wish to pay a tribute to the work that is being done by the other mistresses in the School. Cheers.) But what I was going to say was that for our encouragement as teachers It seemsdesirable to distinguish in education between the things the teacher must directly provida and the tliitjgi which he must assume are provided for him. Of these, the second in indeed the more important, though, in the initiation of a new system, the teacher is apt to think otherwise, and to seek to extend his direct jurisdiction over the whole field. Hence arises much cf the teacher's perplexity, anxiety," andde,pondency. No doubt in a boarding schonl, where he is literally in loco parentis, there is much more justification for his eagerness to coutrol every part of his pupil's growth than in a day school. In both alike, however, the recognition of the line of demarkation between the two provinces I is an important educational principle. Under the I first head-that of the direct activities of the teacher, come (1) the giving of clear, carefully- thought, and enthusiastic lessons in the subjects selected regarded for their own gakes (2) the creation, through the curri- culum and the time table of a mode of hfe in hiuh sound habits, physical, mental, and moral, can be formed (3) the encouragement, so far as depends on school apparatus, laboratories, library, pictures, and out-door exercises, of a natural and free receptivity towards nature, literature, and art. (Hear, hear.) It may be that in these respects the continental public education is at present in advance of our own. Tee hope of British education lies in the combination of these requisites with a deeper and truer appreciation of the rela- tion of the school to the broad facts of life and society, The direct vocation of the teacher is to facilitate and encourage an unpre- judiced attituds of receptivity towards these broad facts. The school-speaking of the public educa- tion-is not a conservatory, but a garden open to the life giving processes of nature. It is not a little world secluded and cloistered for the artificial production of the ideas of the teachers I. T. ana governing Doay. ID is true that sterling and consistent example and the infectious charm of friendship and personal enthusiasm, instead of lessening, are intensifying their hold on education every day but these influences are natural and spontaneous, and owe their power to their indirect and unobtrusive quality. But to extend the scope of direct intervention beyond its proper domain is to invite a breakdown. The modern school rests on the conviction that the lesser harmonies can be adjusted to the broad eternal harmonies provided you give free play to their operation. For example, if you encourage a natural attitude of thought and feeling towards the language, literature, history of Wales you trust that nature herself will complete the work that there is enough life, power, charm in the distinctive institutions of the country to compete n equal terms with rival influences and to mike themselves felt as governing motives in the mind and character of your pupils. (Hear, hear.) If you encourage a natural attitude and that means if you d i not by your unwise interference actu ally encourage an unnatural attitude, and this s 'hat educationalists in the pa-t have iargelv and wi: h the best intentions being occupied m d'lwg- you expect that these facts themselves will come ro your aid. The op n careers of the teacher, the skilled artizan, the jourualif-t, toe merchant will provide a continuation schr.ol in which personal forces cau assert them- selves in subordination to the unseen laws of society. If you present a curriculum intended to pre iio;.iose in favour of a certain attitude towards ifd-whetlier scieniific, economic, and commercial, or sncial-you no doubt attain a certain result, and perhaps in a quicker way-but the danger is that he v,ry bias you have produced will in itself, by its limitations, operate to the iujury of the obj -ct you howe at heart by producing a mechanical interpretation of nature which is de- structive to true science, a utilitarian interpretatior of those great channels of noble organised action which are known a-3 trade and commerce, which is likely in the future to hamper and thwart more than anything else trade and commerce thenifelves and a cramped and twisted social horizon which will incapaci- tate your pupil for the modern condi. tions under which he has to think and act. You may feel a wistful desire to control the entire outlook in accordance with your own anxious mis- givings, but in so doing you betray a mistrust of the free and masterful personality which you have brought upon the scene and of the living processes and influences to which it has been the object of your education to introduce and subordinate him. What is the path of advance in this crucial juncture? Is not the time now come for the teacher to stand aside, to welcome the unhamp-red action of the ch;iracter-making forces of the country and the age, the institutions of the religious, the domestic, political, and social iife—the great teachers—whether a Wordsworth, whose age my former colleague, Prof. Herford, has so well depict-d, (r Tennyson, or Ruskin, or Gladstone, or Victoria, who are the glory of the nineteenth century, whose relation to the awakened and tduc.ited individual is more intimate ann p- rsonil than the men of a'.y former genera- tion would conceive. (Cheers.) You have set free thpir minds and hearts to the operation of these influences you must now trust them and, if I am net mistaken, here lies the crowning distinct on of our distinctive national system of education—that the forces to which it has thus given an un- prejudiced opportunity are the simplest, the purest, and most inspiring which the world has yet setn having itiu them 11 produce in the minds of our youth ducated amid the active and historic jonditions of our native cowintry-ix broad and tdmplf inter- pretation of the relations between man and sociefy, between mao and natur2, and betwnn duty and pleasure convictions which are destined to equio their pos«e-sora for a career of influence and leadership among t'.e peoples ,"f the British Empire and the worl i at large in the time to come. (Loud applause.) Mrs HOLLAND then rose to present the Holland gold medal to M'ss Ivy Bilker and, in doing so. she called attcn ion to the desirability of intro- ducing launlry "ork as a subject. The cry those days was for good laundresses and peoph if they wanted their things done properly, had to go to French laundresses. She also would like to see the girls taught iu that delightful occupa- tion of gardening (cheers)—and for that purpose she hoped som? kiud friend would preAent tht school with a plot of ground tor the growing of vegetables and fljwers. Mrs Holland then grace- fully presented Miss Ivy Biker with the gold medal amidst loud cheers. After an interestit.g eddreas by the Rev Francis tf Jones on the teaching of modern lauguages, a hearty vote of thanks was passed to Principil Roberta on the motion of Mr Edward Griffith, seconded by Mr Wynne Williams. A vote of thanks was also proposed to the Chairman by the Rev E T Watts, who commtuted upon the keen interest Mr Edwards took in the school, and the proposition being seconded by Mr W. HUGHES, it was carried with acc'amation. During the afternoon the following musical items were rendered by the pupils:—Over- ture des Marionettes, violin concerto; and the Angel (Rubenstein), the proceedings concluding with the singing of God Save the King aud "Hen Wlad Fy Nhadau."

SOUTH CARNARVONSHIRE BOARD OF CONSERVATORS. The quarterly meeting was hold at the George Hotel, Criccieth, on Saturday, present: Sir H. J. Ellis Nanney (chairman), Mr W. Watkins, Mr W. B. C. Jones, Mr G. P. Williams, Mr Robert Isaac, Mr R. W. Jones, and Mr D. Jones (clerk). THE RIVKR SOCH. Capt Thomas Griffith, Hendre, Abersocb, wrote on behalf of the Committee appointed to collect sub- scriptions and arrange the work of clearing the weeds and rushes grown in the river, stating that the work had been commenced, and enclosing a list of land- owners who had subscribed to the work. The Committee also appealed for a subscription from the Board of Conservators, inasmuch as the work improved the fishing.—The Chairman and others remarked that the work undoubtedly was a good one, but the Board could not for lack of funds make any subscription and the Clerk was directed to reply accordingly. FORESHORE OF DWYFOR. The Board of Trade wrote stating that owing to the failure of Mr T. G. Williams, Criccieth, to comply with the necessary requirements, his application to construct a groyne at the mouth of the Dwyfor would not be further considered. EXTENSION OF SEASON. Mr D. Lloyd Jones, Pwllheli, wrote stating that complaints were made by anglers that the season for trout closed too early, viz., 1st 'October, and recom- mended the Board to extend the season to the 15th October.—It was pointed that the Board of Trade would not sanction any extension unless it could be proved that the trout were not in spawn at the end of September.—Mr R. Isaac: It cost us a good deal to try and do so in respect of the Glaslyn, and we failed, —It was resolved that the Clerk should write to Mr D. Lloyd Jones to this effect. COST OF SALMON DAY LICENCE. Mr D. Lloyd Jones also wrote stating that in his opinion the price of rod day licences for salmon should be reduced from 2s ito Is.—The Clerk was directed to reply that the scale of licences to fish for salmon had only just been adopted at great expense, and that the Board could not see their way clear to vary it at present. SALMON NETTING. Captain Pritchard gave a report of his examinations and observations as to the salmon netting in the estuaries, and called atlertion to the probability of a good number of sewin being netted by fishermen who were allowed to use small mesh nets for catching sea needles.—It was resolved to call the attention of the Sea Fisheries Committee to the advisability of passing a bylaw prohibiting the use of small mesh nets for catching sea needles. APPOINTMENT OF BAILIFF. It was resolved that an extra bailiff be appointed for the winter months to supervise the Dwyfor.
