B A K R Y S U M M E R SCHOOL. HOLIDAY COURSE IX EDUCA- TIONAL HANDWORK. Another holiday course in edncational handwork, under the auspices of the Glamor- gan Education Committee, was opened a.l Darry County School o.n Tuesday, and will be continued till Saturday, the 28th inst. The conrse was formally opened on Tuesday by Miss E. p. Hughes. M.A., Barry. Coun- cillor D. Lloyd, J.P., as chairman of the local education authority, presided. Principal E. H. Griffiths. F.R.S., said that one of the curses of education to-day was that it made people think that its only effect was to make men more capable with per and ink. Lie had great doubts sometimes as to the success of the educational system of to-day. Were they turning out more capable citizens on account of the elementary school system? Ask business men. He heard doubts nn all ,:ide"; and he had doubts himself. The one remedy he believed to be in the direc- tion in which they were working there that day, by joining the book and the co-ordina- tion of hand and eye in the practical work of life. (Che-crs.)

SALARIES OF LABOUR M.P.'S MR, WILL THOIlIvE AND THE HOUSE OF LORDS' DECISION. Air. Will Thorne, M.P.. addressing a Labour demonstration at Falkirk on Wednesday night, said that the decision of the House of Lords in the case of the Amalgamated Rail- way Servants Society was expected in a few days, and would, doubtless, be ag-ainst them. Organised Labour would thus be prevented from paying its own members of Parliament through a Labour Representation Committee, which would mean that a Bill would have to be promoted by the National Labour Party with a view to obtaining power to use Trades Union funds to secure representation in the House of Commons.

INSANITARY CONDITIONS AT BLAEN AVON. Dr. Rocyn Jones, the medical officer of health for Monmouthshire, presented to the county council on Wednesday his quarterly report, wiuch dealt with a variety of matters, but chiefly the results of a visit to Blaenavon. There is. he says, in BLaenavo-n a scarcity of decent dwelli-ng-hoases, and a iarge number of instances of overcrowding came to his notice. Some of the houses were dark and damp, dirty and squalid. In other cases there were cellar dwellings and two-roomed tenements unfit for human habitation. The attention of the urban district council had already been drawn to certain insanitary portions of the town, but for various reasons remedial action had been put off. Within the last five years no houses had been closed a3 unfit for human habitation.

| WHITCHURCH FLOWER SHOW EXCELLENT EXHIBITION: LORD -MAYOR'S HUMOUR, The fourth annual show and sports in con- nection with the Whitchurch and District Horticultural Society was held in the Vicarage Field, AThi tehureh, on AVednesday in ideal weather. The president for the year is Mr. J. Herbert Cory, J.P., who has always manifested his interest in the show in a very practical manner, as also have his sons. ;,11'. H. Donald Cory proved a very efficient chair- man of a large and capable committee, and in the hands of Mr. S. H. Jones the arrange- ments for the show were carried out in a most efficient manner. The judges were Mr. E. H. Battram, Pare Newydd, Abeicynon; Mr. AlTntyie, Rookwood, Llandaff; Mr. H. R. Farmer. Cardiff Castle; and Mr. Cobb, Duffryn Gardens. There were about 200 entries more than last year, and in all the classes the competition was very keen. The exhibits were of a very high quality, espe- cially when the inclement season is taken into account. This was especially remark- able in the vegetable class, which was declared to be the finest of its kind in the country. Mr. William Treseder and Messrs. H. 3-id W. Evans, Llanishen, showed fine decorative tables, which were highly axlmired by the visitors, who were loud in their praise of the show. The attendance was large in the afternoon, when there was a horse show and sports, as well as balloon ascents, and there was dancing in the evening. The Whit- church Band was in attendance, and dis- coursed music during the day. The Lord Mayor of Cardiff (Alderman Lewie Morgan), who was accompanied by the presi- dent of the society and by Colonel Lewis, of Green meadow, and others, formally opened the shew, and expressed his appreciation and that of the city of Cardilf of the services rendered by Colonel and Mrs. Lewis and family in connection with the Pageant. (Applause.) Mr. J. If. Cory presided at the luncheon., and was supported by the Lord Mayor, Colonel I^ewis, Mr. Newton, and others. The loyal toasts having been honoured, the lJOTd Mayor, in a humorous speech, pro- posed the toast of the society. He said that he was looking forward to the time when they in Cardiff would take A\"hitchurch under their wing. ("No, no," and laughter.) Cardiff was noted for the sacrifices it made J—(laughter)—and they were making a very great sacrifice indeed when they proposed to take AVhitohurch under their wing and protect them from the people who were likely to oppress them. (Laughter.) Finan- cially, it would be no benefit to Cardiff at all. (Laughter.) Ho belonged to a profession which never had any regard to financial benefits—(renewed laughter)—one which lived for the benefit of others. (Laughter.) In that respect the city of Cardiff followed the profession to which he belonged. (Laugh- j ter.) Financially, as he had sadd, it would not benefit them, but as far as respectability was concerned it would be a great thing for, I say. Colonel Lewis and the president if they oould be reckon-ed amongst the citizens of í Cardiff. (Laughter.) He congratulated them upon the success of the show, and so long as they had Air. Cory and his family con- nected with it it was sure to be a success. (Applause.) Air. Donald Cory briefly replied. Air. IV. H. Newton proposed the judges, and Air. Battram, in reply, congratul-ated them on having a very excellent show. Mr. Farmer said that the exhibits were -worthy of any show of the size. They had got a worthy president, a good chairman, a hard- working secretary, and a. committee which ensured success. Colonel f-ewi:, proposed the health of the president, and said that Mr. Cory had asso- ciated himself with everything for the ->od of AA'hitchurch and neighbourhood, and he and his sons had done an immense amount of good in that way. As regarded getting them under the shadow of the Lord Mayor's I wing. he (the speaker) belonged to one of the oldest families of freemen in Oardiff, but he did not want to get any way nearer it. (Laughter.)—The Chairman briefly replied. ') Trade exhibit by Mr. George Clark. (2) A bouquet, by Hisg Phyllis Jones. (3) ;*roup of plants, shown by Mr. W. Treseder.

AMMANFORD HORSE SHOW THE AUTHORITIES AND ARMY REMOUNTS. The nineteenth annual horse show was held at Ammanford cii Saturday, th-o quality of the exhibits being up to the usual high stan- dard. The officers from the camp attended in force, and were quite taken up with the excellence of the stock they saw. The secre- tary was Air. D. V. Davies, The Park. The Hon. AV alter F. Rice, Dynevor Oastle, presided at the luncheon, in the absence of Mr. Erne Hewlett, J.P. Air. David Rees (Tylorstown), one of the judges, touching UPDrl the question of the supply of Army horses, maintained that it would not pay the farmers to go in for breed- ing them. He had seen horses bought by foreigners for £ 40 or £ 50, but our own Army authorities would not pay more than £ 30. He thought it would pay thorn in Carmarthen- shire to go in for breeding colliery horses, instead of allowing the field to be mono- polised by English breeders. He had also no-ted recently that horses had come from Cornwall, and even Norwegians were in the English market. Alderman AY. N. Jones, of Dyffryn, remarked that the committee had approached the War Office with the view of getting prizes offered for horses suitable for the Army, and they had replied that they had no money. (Laughter.) lie thought, the British War authorities should do everything they could to encourage the breeding of British horses for their purposes- The chief awards were:— Brocd mare, with foal: 1st, John Perkins, Closglaa Farm, Llandilo, "Diamond"; 2nd, Thomas Thomas, Talyclyn, Pontarduiais, Ty dierington."

Tiie Rov J Jenkins resigned the pastoral care of Peniel Congregational Church, Llan- harry, recently, after having ministered acceptably for a period of thirteen years. During the past eight years Air. Jenkins has also been pastor of the rising church of the same denomination at Nelson, and the reason of the rev. gentleman's resignation at Llanharry was his feeling that the many calls upon him at Nelson made itlimpossible for him to give the necessary time to Llan- harry. A testimonial, which took the form of a beautifully phrased illuminated address, executed by the Western Mail Limi- ted, together with a substantial purse of gold, were presented. The address contained photographs of the chapel, Mr. Jenkins, and his five deacoas, and the presentation took place at Peniel, when the Rev. D. Davies, Llanharan, presided. INSTITUTION AT LLANDAFF.
