TREGARON. HARD WINTER.-Keen-eyed local sportsmen pre- dict hard weather; during the approaching winter. It appears that this prediction is mainly based on the prevalence of an unprecedented number of wild geese in the Tivy and on the bogs. One of th,.ir number, in good condition, was bagged a few days back by Mr D. J. Williams, J.P., of Abercoed. HIRING FAIR.—The Tregaron hiring fair on Tuesday was well attended by the farmers and the young servant folks of the district. It is said that only a very limited amount of the hiring business was done, many of the engagements having been completed previous to the fair. Wages are said to be higher than ever, young boys and girls getting from LIO to JE20, older and more experienced tillers of the soil receiving from E25 to £30, with a few exceptions still higher. The Market Square and roadsides were well studded with the usual stalls for the sale of all kinds of ccnfectionery and small ware and woollen goods. GENEROSITY.—Some three months ago, wnen tne harvest season was in full swing, a local tenant farmer lost hia beloved and hard working wife, who left him with ten little children in sad bereave- ment. This man, a few weeks ag", went to hili landlord to pay the half-year's rfnt for his holding. The landlord spoke very kindly to him, referring pathetically to the great loss he had sustained by the death of his wife, and as practical evidence of his full sympathy with his tenant and the little children in their deep sorrow, he returned him the f40 placed on the table before him Surely the name of so generous and sympathetic a landl,,r I deserves publicity. He wall Mr Robert T. Rowland, the Garth, Llanio Road. OBITUARY.—Another well-known and much- respected resident of the district passed away "n Saturday, November 16th, in the person of Mr* Mary Rowlands, wife of Mr David Rowland*, Brynwernen. Gorsnoyadd, near this town, ,ig, (I. seventy-eight years. Years ago Mrs Rowlands was one of the most constant attendants at the Tregaron markets and was an extensive buyer of home-ma-le stockings at all the markets and fairs in the district. Whatever might be the condition (If thte weather, she was always in evidence annng ths stocking women every Tuesday on Tregaron Bridge, and it may safely be said that she bought in her day thouoands of pounds worth of all kinds of hosiery, which was again sold to the inhabitants of Cardiff. Newport, Barry Dock, Cowbridge. Ponty- pridd, and adjacent towns. Mr David Rowlands was undoubtedly one of the most widely-known tradesmen throughout "Bro Morgan wg." Mrs Rowlands was strong aud healthy until a few years ago, when the began to show signs of decay. Sh* possesstd many good qualities, being n)w!ty<. kind, cheerful, and good natured. She WHI* highly respected by aJI who came in contact with her. She has left her husband, foir sons, and four daughters, all grown up. T'e remains were interred on Thursday, at the ClI.lviq iatic Methodist Chapel Burial Ground, of which chapel the was a faithful member during her loiig residence in the district. The Rev Morgan Evans officiated at Brynweraeu, at the Bwlchygwynv C. VI Chapal, and at the graveside. The funeral was an exceptionally large one, including representative. from nearly all the families in the surrourdiog district. SCHOOL BOARD.-An ordinary meeting of the newly-elected members of the Tregaron and Lhn. badarnodyn United District School Board was hli at the Town Board School on Friday evening, November 15th, present Meilers E. C. Erait, chair- man; John Evans, vice-chairman; John DilyiII, Caatudor, Blaencaron C. Powell, Glanbrcnig M. J. Davies, North End Stephen Jones, D. Thomas, clerk D. Thomas, C.M. and H. W. Jones, attendance officer.-The Attendance Officar placed before the Board an elaborate report con- ceroing the attendance of children at the yariDUI schools. The following figures may prove int-rogt- ing to the ratepayers of the two parishes concerned -Castoll Flemish Board School Names on register, 52 average attendance, 47; showing a percentage of 92.1. Blaencaron School Names on register, 31; average, 26 percentage, 84. Town Board School Names on register, 122 average, 104; percentage, 85.3. National School Names on register, 134; average, 107.5; percentage 80.2. When consideiation is given to the prevalence of aickness among many of children attending the town schools, this report was admitted to be very satisfactory. Two cases of irregular attendants were dealt with. The head teachers being unable to present the lists of new books required for the various schools at this meeting, three of the members were delegated to inspect the lists as soon as they were available. The Clerk was directed to cosveae a meeting of the delegates and head teachers, the delegates being the Chairman, Messrs C. Le Brun Powell and M. J. Davies, North End. BOARD OF GUARDIANS, TUESDAY, NOVKMBBR 20TH.-Present Mr D. J.

Number infthe^house, 27 last year corresponding period, 31. Number of vagrants relieved during the paat fortnight, 36. Death of "Elizabeth Jones, Kidwelly.The Master reported that Elizabeth Jones, Kidwelly," the imbecile who was admitted into the tramp ward of the House a fortnight ago, had died on Sunday morning. He at once made the necessary arrangements for burial and the funeral was announced to take place on Wednesday. The con- tractor had asked him that morning to defer the funeral until a later date as the grave could not b" prepared by Wednesday. He (the Master) had. however, decided to make no differsnce betweeu that case and other similar cases aud the funeral would take place on tho date stated.—Mr J. P. Rees (the inspector), who has charge of the burial ground, was directed to prepare the grave by Wed- nesday.—The Master added that enquiries had been made as to a settlement for the late pauper, and as far as had been possible to ascertain, the Llandovery Union w, uld have proved the pro- bable settlement. As no reply could have been received from the Llandovery Union since the last meeting of the Board, the burial expenses would have to be borne by them. Increase in Vagrancy.-Tiie Master drew the at- tention of the Board to the large increase in vagrancy. During the last seven weeks 117 tramps had been admitted into the casual ward as compared with fifty-four in the corresponding period last year. The result was that the cost of maintaining the House would prove heavier at the end of that quarter.—The Master, replying to queries by several members, said he could not satisfy himself as to the actual cause of the increase. Anonymous Letter.-The Relieving Officer handed the Chairman a letter which he had received with- out any address or signature, comphining that the Board had given relief to a certain pauper, but had neglected to do so in a more needful Cise.—The Guardians were unanimously of opinion thu.t no notice should be taken of communications having no signature. 0 Rural District Council.-A meeting of the Rural District Council was held after that of the Board, with Mr Richard Jones, presiding.—On the prepo- sition of M r David Davies, Gorwydd, the bnsim ss was deferred until the next ordinary meeting in consequence of the hiring fair whiC T was being held on that day. z;1

TOWYN. DEBATING SOCIETY.-The weekly meeting of this Society was held on Tuesday, November 18th, and was presided over by Mr S. Edmunds. The subject for debate was "Is domesticity deteriorating." Miss Annie C. Jones read a very ) ably- prepared paper in the affirmative. Nurse Price read a very strong and well-prepared paper on the negative. The following took part in the discussion on the affirmative, Messrs F. G. Roberts, B.A., and Inspector E. J. Evans. On the negative, Mrs Howell Jones, Misses M. E. Phillips, Parry (Glasfor), Annie Evans, Messrs F. T. Tookey, E. Davies Hughes, and Dr E. Lewys Lloyd. It was felt that this was the first debate that created the spirit and enthusiasm which has been experienced in former years. On the Chairman putting the question to the vote, a large majorityfoundto be in favour of the negative side, viz., That domesticity is not deteriorating." It was pleasing to find marked improvement in the attendance. INTERMEDIATE SCHOOL MANAGERS, SAT- URDAY, NOVEMBER 16TH.-Present: Mr H. Haydn Jones, chairman Mrs Rowlands, Mrs Roberts, the Revs Robert Jones and Humphrey Williams, Messrs J. Maethlon James, J. Hughes Jones, R. P. Morgan, Meurig Roberts, Hugh W. Griffiths, David Davies, and E. J. Evans, clerk; Thomas Jones, headmaster; and Miss Jenkins, senior mistress. ANNUAL CONCERT. The Chairman read the balance sheet of the annual concert as submitted to him by the secre- tary (the Clerk) showing that the total receipts amounted to £45 14s 6d and, after paying all expenses, the balance remaining was Rll 8s. The Chairman added that the balance in hand was considerably less as compared with the amount realised last year. The Managers were neverthe- less just as thankful to their Clerk for his work in connection with the concert, and he proposed a vote of thanks to the Clerk for his ervices.- The Rev Humphrey Williams seconded the pro- position, which was carried. HEADMASTER'S ANNUAL REPORT. The Headmaster submitted his annual report, which was as follows :—I have the honour to lay before you my third annual report. During the year, by the death of Mr Corbett the school has suffered the greatest loss that has befallen it since its opening, for in him we always had a friend in need. I am glad to be able this time again to report increased prosperity both in numbers and in general efficiency. The average number of pupils in school for the year was 109, an increase of six upon the preceding year. This term again there is a further advance, there being 124 on the school books as compared with 114 in the corresponding period last year. The regular and steady growth in the numbers has been taxing our accommodation so much that at present the school is in real need of extra class rooms. Just now the chemical laboratory, which is most unsuitable for the purpose, has to serve as a classroom, and the workshop and the music room have at times to be utilised for the same purpose. The physics laboratory has had to be used as an ordinary classroom throughout the whole year. I hope you will give the matter your most serious con- sideration. This constant increase in the numbers, which is most encouraging, is due to the keen interest taken in education and the school by the parents, to the sympathy and co- operation of the teachers of the district, and to the hearty support given by you as Managers, and also to the reputation which the school is establishing within and outside the district. At present we have pupils from all the primary schools of the district with one exception-a very small national school. The number of boarders is twentv-nine. twenty-eight boys and one girl. The school has been carried on 011 the same lines as last year, and the results which are laid before you testify to the general excellence of the work done. The Central Welsh Board reports show that very good work has been done in all branches and by all forms, which proves that the successes obtained by the senior and brighter pupils have not been obtained at the expense of the junior and duller ones. The very high standard of efficiency which has already been attained is evidenced by a remark made in the reDort of one of the examiners, who writes, ".wehave now come to ex- pect excellent workfroin this school." The report of the inspectors of the Board of Education upon the work which came under their notice is equally satisfactory. No less so are the remarks made by Mr Francis S. Bond, M.A., F.G.S., Hon. A.R.J.B.A., who this year inspected the school for the Central Welsh Board, and whose words should carry very great weight, being those of a gentleman who had had a very large experience in teaching as assistant and headmaster of one of the largest public schools in England and who now acts as inspector of secondary schools. In his report to that body on the science teaching he says, li As an instance of what ought to be done, and what may be done. to make science teaching effective, this school affords an example which deserves the attention of all who are interested in Welsh education." After making some very flattering remarks on the character of the teaching and on the work done in the other branches, he ends by stating it is altogether a remarkable school." As in past years pupils were sent in for public examinations, including the London Intermediate B.A., London Intermediate B.Sc., London matricula- tion, Central Welsh Board, honours, senior and junior certificates, Board of Educa- tion Science examinations, King's Scholarship, Bank Entrance, local school examinations in music of the Associated Board of the R.A.M. and R.C.M., Pitman's shorthand, etc. The lists of successes, which I submit, show that the pupils acquitted themselves with credit to them- selves and to the school. The full number of certificates obtained this year is fifty-eight, as compared with forty-four last year. The fail- ures, including all the examinations, were four. This, again, is further evidence of the thorough- ness of the work done. In the Intermediate and B.A. and B.Sc. list, Towyn is the only representative of the Welsh county schools. It is now the third time in succession for this school to figure on these lists and this is con- vincing evidence that arts are not neglected. While thus able to record outward successes, I trust we are at the same time laying the foundation for the development of sterling characters and that the intellectual and moral training received at the school will make our boys and girls good, honest, upright, and straightforward men and women. In September three of our senior pupils sat the entrance scholarship examinations of the Bangor and Aberystwyth Colleges with very satisfactory results. Edward Jones was awarded a scholar- ship of £ 25 a year at Bangor, he being third on the list and first from the county schools. Winifred Conn, who stood fourth on the list and second from the county schools, was awarded a scholarship of X20 a year at Aberystwyth College, and David Emrys Williams gained an exhibition of ClO at the same College. It is interesting to notice that boys and girls from this school, who are now at the colleges, have between them fained scholarships of the yearly value of £ 240 irect from the school. If the funds allow it, I would recommend the renewal of all the scholar- ships held last year, and that full scholarships be awarded to Goronwy Owen Edwards, who already holds a half scholarship, and John Daniel Davies. In conclusion, I have this year again to express my indebtedness to my colleagues for their support and for the interest they have taken in the school, and to you as Managers for your readiness at all times to give assistance."—The Chairman observed that it was undoubtedly the best report the Managers had had.—After the Revs. Robert Jones and Humphrey Williams had made observations to the same effect, Mr J. Maethlon James pointed out the fact that that portion of the report which dealt with the question of extra accommodation should not be overlooked. He suggested that a sub-committee should be appointed to go thoroughly into the question and report to the next meeting. No doubt a large question was involved, but it had to be faced sooner or later, and if the school continued to increase in numbers as it was doing at present, the diffi- culty would have to be met in the immediate future.—Mr Meurig Roberts: What about the money 1—Mr Maethlon James replied that it was because of the financial view he took of the ques- tion that he suggested the appointment of a sub- committee to investigate the whole matter.—Mr R. P. Morgan proposed the appointment of a sub-committee, adding that he thought it high time something should be done to improve the accommodation in the school.—Mr Maethlon James seconded the proposition, and the follow- ing were appointed as the sub-committee :—The Chairman, Messrs Maethlon James, R. P. Morgan, Meurig Roberts, and David Davies.—On the pro- position of Mrs Rowlands, seconded by the Rev. Robert Jones, a vote of thanks was accorded the Headmaster and his staff for the able manner in which they had discharged their duties.—The Chairman observed that the Headmaster's report recommended the augmenting of certain scholar- ships. The scholars who were recommended were John Daniel Davies and Goronwy Owen Edwards. The Chief Inspector had pointed out the necessity of augmenting scholarships in such cases, and it would be only complying with his advice if they adopted the recommendation.—On the proposition of Mrs Rowlands, the Head- master's recommendation to award these two scholars full scholarships was adopted. CENTRAL WELSH BOARD REPORT. The Chairman said in consequence of his being a member of the Central Welsh Board he had received a summarised report upon the course of instruction at their school. The Inspector who visited the school on behalf of the Central Welsh Board reported to that body as follows "I found the pupils very much in earnest and hard at work in every class. Good order prevailed everywhere. The staff includes teachers of ex- ceptional power and efficiency. The course of practical instruction in physics which has been devised by a new member of the staff, is excel- lently organised, and promises to add still further to the high reputation of the science teaching of the school. As an instance of what ought to he done, and what may be done, to make science the school. As an instance of what ought to he done, and what may be done, to make science teaching effective, this school affords an example which deserves the attention of all wrho are in- terested in Welsh education. The town and district are justly proud ot it, and it leceives full and hearty support from the Manageis. The subjects of instruction which came before my notice were well taught. In Latin a high standard is obtained, the more advanced pupils being able to translate such difficult autnors as Sallust, Tacitus, Caesar, and Horace with satis- factory readiness and accuracy. A letter given before me in English history could not have been bettered. The teacher had a thorough and exact knowledge of the period studied, her methods were excellent, her style was one of concentrated energy, rivetting the attention of the pupils. The results obtained by her in freehand drawing were also very good, in spite of the mechanical character of the work required. In a lesson on geometry by another member of the staff I was struck by the force with which he impressed his ideas on the class and with the inforcment of independent thought on the part of the pupils. Thoroughly interesting too, to a large junior class, was a lesson by him on the properties of heat. It is altogether a remarkable school.— The Chairman added that the other reports which referred to their school were equally as flattering. The number of honours certificates gained by pupils attending their school was seven, senior certificates six, and junior certifi- cates sixteen. Each of the managers would in due course receive a copy of the report from the County Governing Body. BOARD OF EDUCATION'S REPORT. The Chairman read a report handed him by the Headmaster, and received from -the Board of Education, which was as follows The school has again, done a very good year's work. Chemistry, both theoretical and practi- cal, continues to be excellently taught. Physics also is very good, although not up to the high standard of the chemistry. For example, in the first year, advanced course in practical physics more quantitative exercises should, and probably will, be introduced next year. The practical chemistry note books should be dated and more regularly examined by the teacher. The two second year advanced pupils have been taught throughout with the first year class and their course has not been a progressive one. The pupils in the second year elementary courses are relatively stronger than those tak- ing the first year's course. In the latter, euclid, practical geometry, and manual work were hardly so good as last year. The equipment for advanced physics has been improved. Another classroom and a balance room for practical chemistry are very desirable. The physical laboratory is frequently used as an ordinary classroom." The Chairman That coming from the Board of Education is very flattering.-Mrs Rowlands You will never get anything from them unless they can help it. THE PRIZE DAY. It was agreed to allow the Headmaster to fix the time to be allowed for Christmas holidays.— On the proposition of Mrs Rowlands, it was re- solved to again award prizes, Mrs Rowlands jocularly saying that the staff were the ones who should receive the prizes, as they did the work, and yet the prizes were given the scholars.— Replying to the Chairman, the Headmaster said the annual prize day would this year fall on Thursday, December 18th, adding that he had been asked by several of the scholars' parents who lived long distances from the school to sug- gest that the prize distribution should take place in the afternoon and the concert in the evening. -The Rev. Humphrey Williams proposed that an afternoon and evening meeting should be held.—No one seconded the proposition.—On the proposition of Mr Meurig Roberts, it was agreed to hold one meeting in the evening.—The Rev. Robert Jones was unanimously appointed to pre- side at the prize distribution meeting.—On the suggestion of the Chairman, it was resolved to ask Mr and Mrs C. S. Denniss to attend the meeting. On the proposition of Mr R. P. Morgan, it was also agreed to ask Mr Gibson, the Cambrian News, to attend, Mr Morgan and Mr Griffiths remarking that they could never forget the remarkable address he delivered when he last attended a prize distribution at their school. BURSARIES. The Chairman read applications for bursaries from the parents of Wm, Owen, Caedu, Rhos- felen, and Robert Hughes, Tanybryn-street, Abergynolwyn. -Both applications were granted and a sum of 30s awarded each pupil. CLEANER'S SALARY. The school cleaner, Mrs Richards, Isandula- terrace, applied for an increase of X3 a year in wages in consequence of the increase in the work since her appointment.—The Clerk said she now received £ 22 per annum.—Mrs Rowlands said she often saw the cleaner working in the school after midnight.—The Headmaster said he was sorry to say the cleaner was sometimes working in the early hours of the morning.—On the proposition of Mrs Rowlands, the application was granted on condition that the cleaner's husband looked after the boys' lavatories. THE LLANEGRYN SCHOOL HOUSE. The vicar of Llanegryn, the Rev Dd. Hughes, wrote stating that he would quit the School House, Llanegryn, rented to him by the Managers.—The Chairman said a new vicarage had been provided for the Vicar.—A new tenant was discussed, and the Chairman was appointed to come to terms with the intended tenant and report to the next meeting.—The Managers then rose.

NEW QUAY. ACCIDE-NT. -i%l r William Thomas, the genial and humorous owner of the Llandyssil van, met with an accident last WI ek. On a very narrow part of the road between New Quay and Llandyssil, while makirg room for a trap to pass, he unfortunately fell and tlif wuggon passed over his leg caus ng him serious injury without however causing a fracture. He has since been laid up. Mr Thomas has the sympathy of a vry wide circle of friends from all parts of the country as he is very well known to those who visit this neighbourhood. He possesses a fund of anecdotes which seems inexhaustible and the tedium of the journey to and from the railway is enlivened by his quaint manner of giving his experiences and reminiscences of the various characters he has met. He is making satisfactory progress. THE HEARSE.—The Rev S. M. Davies presided on Monday evening over a rather lively meeting held at the Board School to discuss the question of the hearse and to make arrangements for the management of the same for the future. Captain Thomas, Park-street, gave an account of the finances of the Committee of Management, by which it ap- pears that the sum of thirty-five shillings is wanted to defray the expenses so far incurred.— Capt Davies (Araminta) and Capt Vaughan were appointed to audit the Committee's ac counts.—Mr Lewis, Soar, gave a detailed account of the proceedings of the Committee from the time of its appointment until they had carried out the object which had been entrusted to them, viz., the procuring of a hearse for the use of the place. As the old committee had now fulfilled the duties given it, it was necessary to appoint others to superintend and manage the hearse in the future, and the following committee was elected :—Messrs J. O. Davies (Cambrian House), J. O. Davies (Maelota), T. Lloyd (Gwalia), W. Thomas (Bryn- arfor), J. Owen (Queen-street), Davies (Nabob House), Captains Thomas (Park-street), James (Omia Villa), and Davies (Loch Shiel).—Mr Lewis, Soar, then formally transferred, on behalf of the old Committee, the custody of the hearse to the fore- going gentlemen, by handing over the key of the house where it is now kept to Mr John Owen. -A hearty vote of thanks was accorded to the out-going Committee for the great care and trouble it had taktn in the matter, and for the able maener it had arranged the work of procuring the hearse.— Another committee -A av appointed to examine and report upon a site, and an estimate for building a proper house for keeping the vehicle in.

EDUCATION OF PUPIL TEACHERS. A TREGARON SCHEME. On Saturday afternoon a conference of the Intermediate School Managers, niembcra of the School Boards and school managers, and the secondary and elementary school tochers of the district of Tregaron was held at the County School for the purpose of consultation in face of what it is hoped is merely a temporary breakdown in the scheme initiated at Tregaron for the education of pupil teachers. fhe scheme promoted by Principal Roberts, Aberystwyth, and HOW adopted by the County Governing Body, which provides for the education of pupil teachers for three years prior to their apprenticeship at the County School has not yet been adopted generally by school boards and voluntary school managers in the county but those bodies that are within the district of Tregaron appear to have accepted the principle of the scheme while not as yet having seen thtii way to carrying it out except in a considerably- modified form. For some time, by arrangement with the Tregaron Managers, of whom the chair- man is Mr William Jones, J.P., Ffosheuiog, who has taken considerable interest in the matter, the pupil teachers have been attending classes at the Tregaron School on Saturdays. At first the arrangement appeared to be working well, but this term the attendance has dropped almost to nothiua. The conference was presided over by Mr William Jones, J.P., and there was a fair attendance but a largp number of members of the 3lementary school authorities were unable to be present owing to the fair which was held at Lampettr on thi- same day, while many were, no doubt, deterred by the weather. The CHAIRMAN, explaining the object of tip meeting, said, as they probably all knew, cla,s,s for pupil teachers, he believed initiated at the request of the headmasters of the school boards of the district, had been held on Saturdays at that school, the object being to assist pupil teachers in preparing for the King'a Scholarship examination. There were, of course, advantages there u hieh could not be obtained at the elementary schools for instance, a science master and a laboratory an i the opportunity of being taught Latin by a duly qualified teacher. He did not know, not being an expert in educationalmatters, what subjects formed the curriculum of the teachers' classes there, but ht believed that the instruction given would enabl, teachers, provided they showed anything like diligence, to stand for the King's Scholarship examination, and that the knowledge they woulJ gain there would be of considerable advantage 10 them in their future career. (Hear, hear.) It took three members of the staff to attend the classes for the purpose of giving lessons in those subjects, and Saturday being their cnly free day in the week, it meant considerable sacrifice on the part of the staff to come there. Now, at the commencement tiieie classes were fairly well attended- he believed there were over twenty at the first class-but the attendance had since dropped and on one or two occasions had gone down as low as four and five. The last Saturday-he did not know whether it was due to what was said at the last meeting of the Managers-the attendance showed a slight im- provement and reached a total of twelve. It transpired at the lift meeting that there was a j rumour abroad—he did not know whether it was put about by some of the teachers, of whom a few apparently did not like coming there, in order to find some excuse for not attending-thai. the classes were held principally for the purpose of earning grants forthe county school and not for the benefit of pupil teachers. It was only fair, in justice to themselves and to their staff and to the boards who paid the fees, that the Manageis should let them kuow how things stood, and that was their object in asking them to come there that day. They wished to know whether the school board* and school managers desired these classes to con- tinue and, if so, to confer as to the best means of carrying them on. Of course it was useless for the elementary school authorities to spend money on the fees if their teachers did not attend. They wished to have the views of the elementary teachers and the members of the school boards and managers of voluntary schools on the question and as to whether they could adopt some means of enforcing the attendance of the pupil teachers if they con- sidered it to their advantage that they should at- tend. He would be glad to receive any suggestion or proposal. Mr JONES, postmaster, Tregaron, said perhaps, to make matters quite clear, it would be well to know first of all whether the staff in these classes worked according to the syllabus of the King's Scholarship examination. The CHAIRMAN—That is to say, is there any truth in the rumour that the classes are conducted for the benefit of the County School alone. Mr J ONEs-Yes. Mr WATERHOUSE, science master, s-aid they did proceed according to the syllabus mentioned, but "t the same time for his guidance he had the syllabus of the science and art examination btfore him. As to the idea that the clas.ies were held in order to earn grants for the school, that was pre- posterous. It was not possible to earn grants on pupil teachers in any way whatever. He knew how that rumour had arism. The CHAIRMAN hoped pupil teachers c, uld be made to appreciate the classes and not devise means of avoiding them. Mr JONES said he did not ask the question with the object of making any insinuation, but simply in order to c'ear matters. Mr OWEN JONES and Mies JONES, the other mem- bersof the staff, also stated that they proceeded strictly in accordance with the syllabus, the former saying that he took care to let the pupils see that they were learning what would be immediately useful to them. Mr REES, schoolmaster, Bontrhydfendigaid, said he appreciated the classes from the first and thought the County School Governors were to be thanked most sincerely for their effort to advance the education of pupil teachers. He had heard no complaints from his teachers, and he believed that they had attended very regularly during the first term. As to the second term there was a slight misunderstanding. He was under the impression that he would be notified when the classes re- opened. As soon as he heard that they were going on he sent the teachers. The chief reason, he thought, why the attendance had fallen was the had means of travelling. He was certain that teachers would be very sorry to see the classes dropped. Mr THOMAS. Tregaron Board School, agreed and said he was sorry that any hitch should have arisen. He had looked through the notes of his pupil teachers and found that they were proceeding in accordance with the King's Scholarship examina- tion syllabus It was all the better if they pro- ceeded according to the science and art syllabus because that covered the ground. He would be extremely sorry to see the classes dropped, because in the science papers questions were based on the assumption that pupils had seen experiments, and pupils would derive great benefit from the classes. The reason why his own pupils had not attended last term was that they were busy preparing for their other examinations. Mr PETER DAVIES, member of the Bwlchllan School Board, said the chief difficulty in their case was the great distance to Tregaron, and it would be a great advantage if the classes did not meet till eleven in the morning. The CHAIRMAN humorously suggested that per- haps someone would start a motor car service. Mr DAVID DAVIES, Brynhyfryd, Bwlchyllan, said something of the kind would be very helpful. If Bwlcbllan and Penuwch laid their heads to- gether, they might be able to get a van to bring the pupils down. It was too much to expect the pupil teachers to start at five o'clock in the morn- ing and walk down there. As to preparing for the Science and Art examinations, he saw no objection to that, inasmuch as the same ground was covered. Mr THOMAS, Tregaron, agreed and said it would not be at all a bad thing if the pupil teachers entered for the Science and Art certificates. Mr LEWIS, headmaster of the County School, said one thing must be clearly understood. Unless the classes were well attended they would serve no purpose whatever, and they might as well throw money icto the sea. These classes were a step in the right direction, but merely one step, and per- sonally he would not be satisfied until the present system of bringing up pupil teachers was done away with altogether. At present the elementary teacher had to be hard at work with the children dll day, and after school was over he had to put in another two or three hours with his pupil teachers. It was unreasonable to the headmaster but for the pupil teacher himself it was still worse. After himself teaching all day, he had to study with his teacher, and afterwards go home and do private study. Moreover, the system of setting children to teach children was a pernicious one. He hoped, therefore, that the system of sending pupil teachers for a three years' course in the County School before starting to teach, which was adopted in several other counties, would be adopted in that county. (Hear, hear.) Other persons having spoken, concurring with what had bten said as to the usefulness of the classes, Mr M. CARONIAN EVANS, chairman of the Tregaron School Board, said he had not heard a word about the allegation that the classes were held in order to gain grant, and he did not think such a rumour had had any weight with anybody. As far as Tregaron was concerned, they had g ven every support to the classes from the commence- ment. The VICAR of TREGARON Faid it seemed clear that the real reason why the attendance had fal;eii off was that teachers were preparing for the coiniug examinations. The CHAIRMAN then proposed that the Clei k of the Governors (Mr Morgan Morgan) should write to elementary teachers informing them every lime a pupil teacher was absent from the class. Mr JOXKS, postmaster, seconded the proposition, which was agreed to. Mr PETER DAVIES proposed and Mr RRES, Pontrbydfendigaid, seconded, that the classes be held at eleven in the morning, the member of the staff expressing themselves perfectly willing ¡to ciia: gf the hour. Tb is prop .!I! t.ou a also C3rl j Hi. A conversation cnuried aH to the scheme for the «*d.ic»tion ofpui.il :e-jcherssuggested by the County i Governing Body, it being stated that no action in the matter had been taken by any school board in the district as yet. The conference then terminated. The Chairman, with his usual generosity, enter- tained thnSA present to luncheon, which was laid out in the School Hall.
