Jacts anti Janucs. A clergyman asked a Sunday School class why it was cruel to cut off dog's tails. One child replied that it was cruel because of the text in the Bibb. "What text, my dear?" asked the puzzled clergy- man. The child was thoughtful for a moment, and then replied, AN'hdc. God lias joined let no man put asunder." An American, touring in Devonshire, had been told that he should on no ac- count leave 'che neighbourhood without seeing a remarkable rock, known from its peculiar formation as "Satan's Stool." While leisure-'y examining the curiosity Ee was accosted by an irate mili'cary- looking man, who demanded in unprint- able language what he meant by tres- passing on private property.

District Educate on Committee. — '1 monthly meeting was held on December 4th at the Police Station, pretided ovei by the Key. J. WiHams. The summary of attendancea tor November was as foi lows:—Aberporth Non-provided School, 95.8 per cent of the whole school; Cardi- gan Council School (boys), 91.4; Penyparo Council 00.8; Llangoedmore Non-Pro- viaed, 90; Llechryd Council, 88.7; Verw.g Council, 68.4; Cardigan Council (girls), 87,3; Blaenporth Non-Provided, 87.1; St. Dogmells Non-Porvided, 86.5; Cardigan Non-Provided, 84.9; Cardigan Council (infants), -Ö1.9; L.'andytgwydd Non-Pro- vided, 81.2. It was stated that this was the best return the committee had yet received, all the schools be'ng over eiglÚy per cent. The salary of Miss A. M. James, Penyparc Council School, was in- creased from 1;18 to R,25, and that of Mrs I Tiazzelby, St Dogmells Non-Provided, was advanced from JB40 to L45. Cheques were drawn in discharge of salaries of teachers cleaners, and officials, amounting to £ 536 12s 7d. Messrs J. Evans and Llewelyn Davies were appointed head 'ceaohers at the evening continuation school, fifty-four flawing enrolled as pupils. There were twenty-one names oa the register of the Jilaenporth Evening Continuation School. County Court. On Friday, j.tfore Judge Bishop, an action was brought by the Kev. D. Dales Davies, Congregational ministers, Beulah, to restrain Mr. D. Morris, Plasnewydd, retired master mar- iner, from interfering with and taking possession of a slang of land situated on the roadside opposite the Manse, which he had enclosed and planted by permis- sion of the owner of the Blaenpant Es- tate and had lately purchased. The de- fendant pleaded that he had bought the slang of land with Plasnewydd property six years ago at a sale, it being part of Jroedyraur ti sta'ce. Plaintiff contended that he had permission ten years ago from the owner of Blaenpant estate who claimed the piece of land as his property, to enclose and plan'c it so as to improve the appearance of the spot which was done before Captain Morris bought his pro- perty and subsequently he bought it from the owner of 'che estate.'—Mr. Villieiis lieager, of Swansea, instructed by Messrs Asa and Ivor EVans and Stephens, WaJ for the plaintiff, and Mr. Llewelyta Wil- liams, M.P., instructed by Messrs George and Son, Newcastle Emlyn, for the de- fendant.—A singular fact in connection with the action was that the p-ece of ground in dispute was included in the estate maps of Blaenpant and Troedyr- aur. Great interest wasi taken in the action by the public and the Court was lull.—Mr. Meager 'wok exception to the 1. jurisdiction of the Court 213 the property was in the Newcastle Emlyn district. The districts are co-terminus with the par- ishes. The tithe maps were not evi- dence as to ownership, but were useful a,s showing the right of jurisdiction.—It was agreed 'chat the case should be proceeded with and Mr. Llewelyn Williams, in open- ing the case, said that the slang of land was on the roadside leading from Beulah Chapel to Noyadd Cross, on the same side of the road as plaintiff's dwelling house called Trenova which was built in 1900. The s'crip of land was enclosed at that time and latterly a trespass was com- mitted by breaking down the railing.— Ms. Meager produced a lease dated j861 granted by the late Mr. James Bo wen, Troedyraur, 'co the late Rev. Owen Thomas, Troedyraur, which reserved the right of exchanging Parkbach for the waste land adjoining Parcscubor which showed that the land belonged to the owner of the Troeds'raur estace who eold the land to build Parcnewydd. The parties interested in the lease were now dead and, consequently, the interest hilI ceased, t v: the land remained in the Hands of L;) defendant by permuwion of the owner of Blaenpant estate.—Defend- ant was called to prove tithe. In 1867. the chapel was even with the road. There was a slang of land close to the farmyard enclosure on which there wa3 a saw pit held under a lease by the late Rev. Owen Thomas, his father-in-law, till the plain- tiff enclosed the land. Pits were dug in the slang for watering cattle belonging to Plasnewydd. There was a mark of a gateway in Parcscubor before a new one was made. He used to trim the hedge and field. The people of Ffosyrhendy never used the slang, though their land extended to the road. His father-in-law gave permission to take the drain from Beulah Chapel through Plasnewydd land Though the slang was in his possession up 'co 1901, when the lease expired he d;d not interfere, but subsequently bought the slang and enclosed it, but the enclos- ure was broken down four times.—Crosc- examined by Mr. Llewelyn Williams: He heard that Mrs. Brigstocke had refused permission to construct a roadway tc Beula.li Chapel through the property. Hence the chapel was erected on another piece of ground. The Rev. Dales Davies enclosed the slang in 1900 or 1901. No one protested until 1905. He was not told by Mr. George, agent of the Blaen- pant estate that the slang belonged to thp estate. He first saw the saw p t on the Slang in 1867. He was surprised to hear that permission had been obtained to put up the saw pit for the purpose of saiviror timber for building Pl&snewydd. -Denis Williams, retired police inspector, said there were slangs on each side of tIn- road. The slang in front of the chape! was taken when the burial ground was enclosed. He had used the slang for getting turf to cover potatoes at Plas- newydd. Did not hear during the paet ten years he was at Plasnewydd that the 'ant of Ffosyrhendy had anything to io with 'the slang. Gipsies used to camp sometimes on the slang.—Thomas Hughes, Rhosygader, member of the Cardigan Dis- trict Council, remembered being can- vassed by plaintiff as to possessing the slang before making an application 'co the Council for permission to enclose the slang. He was a member of a committee of investigation appointed. They met Mr. Brigstocke who said he was willing for the Rev Dales Davies to enclose the slang as he did not claim it as part of his estate. When the matter came be- fore the Council, the Rev Dales Davies was 'cold it was a roadside slang and he could not enclose it. He did not hear that 'che tenant of Ffosyrhendy claimed to have exercised a right for thirty years over the slang.—Mary Jones said she re- membered when Plasnewydd was rebuilt in 1865. Ffo:.y rhendy never exercised any right over the slang. Her father etored timber on the slang from 1865 tilJ 1889 and was in possession of the slang before Henry Davies came to Ffosyr. hendy.—Hannah Evans, an old servan at Plasnewydd, spoke as to digging holes for water on the slang and deposi'cing stone there. She never saw anything be- longing to Ffasyrhendy people on slang.— For the plaintiff, Henry Bavies, Ffosyr- hendy, said he was 'cenant since 1868 and his wife's mother since 1857. He made the pond some twenty-three or twenty- four years ago and used earth from the slang which belonged 'co the Blaenpant estate. He usea to turn his horses there to graze in summer. He rented the slang to Henry Mathews of Riwberv for th or four years about thirty-five years ago. He also let the s'ang to Mary Davies from the pond to 'che top about thirty y'ears ago. He had carried away scores of loads of earth f-om the slang in order to mix lime with i'c for the farm. The Rev. Owen Thomas asked him twenty- five years ago tor permission to use the saw pit and for sods from the slang to cover potatoes. Eight or ten years ago he forebode John Hughes to 'take away sods from the slang without his permis- sion. The Rev. Owen Thomas, who Was n straight man, never gave permission for the drain to be taken from Boulah Chapel through the s'arg. The sawpit was demolished twen'cy years ago. For the past thirty-eight years he alone had use of the slang. Before pl-aint;ff fenced in the slang, the late Mr. W. O. Brigstocke asked witness if he had any objection to plaintiff enclosing the slang and he replied that he had none.—The hearing was con- tinued on Saturday at the Newcastle Em- lyn Court when several witnesses were called by the plaintiff. Judgment was deferred until the next court at Cardi- gan Competitve Concert.—On Wednesday evening last, a well-attended and suc- oesdul competitive concert was held at the MwJdan Mission Hall and reflected great credit on those who bestow their; labour of love on the children of this part of the town. The chair was taken by Mr. J. C. Roberts. The adjudicat- ors were-Muiiio, Mrs. Bowen Davies, Gtfayiibone, and MisJ Roberts, Conway House; recitations, Mr. Samuel Young, rfAl\A., and the Chairman. After an opening address by the Chairman, the 10dowlng contributed an enjoyable pro- fll.me :lllie Children's Cno i r. ucnes, Lily Davres, Ulwen Jones, Eva Jenkins, M. A. Jeremiah, M. Morgan, A. Lena Wilson, Evan James Jones, idr.s Lloyd, and a three-yea i-o<d oil, û lla-med who won the prize in the recita- tion competition for children undctl seven years old.

The journey of ten miles is accomplshed in forty-five minutes, three time.; a day. The oars leave Newcstlq Emlyn at seven a.m., twelve noon, and 6-10 p.m., and Cardi- gan at nine a.m., 1-30 p.m., and six p.m. Severe Storm.—The gale on Tuetd of last week culminated in a terrific storm on the following night, but beyond the unroofing of houses, the blowing away of Chimney pots, and gates, and the snap- ping of telephone and telegraph wires on he St. Dogmells road the damage done was small. Lifeboat.-The master of the s.s. Com- monwealth" fCaptain James Davies of Cardigan) has forwarded to the Treasurer of the local lifeboat fund £1 Us, the re- suft of a collection made on board his vessel. Un opening the collection box at Gwbert Hotel, the Secretary found ooins to the value of lite". < also a cheque aatec August 4th, for P,5 bs., placed iht re by Mr George S. Smith, London, which has been duly cashed and proved "3 wecome addition to the fund. A Lazy Tramp.—On Friday, before .the Mayor and A. Clouglier.

A large concourse ioir relatives and friends attended the funeral. Oounty School.—At the monthly meet- ing of the Managers-, presided over by the Rev. J. Williams, a letter was read from Mr Davies lieorge, clerk to the Pembroke- shire Authority, intimating t.hat there woulld be no examination for probationers for the county in future, but that they would have to pass the jun:or examination of the Central Welsh Board. It was thought that this information should be conveyed to the elementary teachers. The annual report of the Headmaster showed that ldwai Lloyd secured the honours cer- tincace, became entitled to a Cardigan- shire county exhibition, matriculated at tho London University, and won an en- trance scholarship at 'che University of Wales, Aberystwyth.

Compared with the corresponding period of last year, there were nine inmates less in the House; a reduction of 21s 2d in the out- door relief; and a. decrease of twelve in tne number of outdoor paupers. MedKcal Officer's Explanation. Dr. Stephens appeared before the Board and tendered an explanation of the circum- stances attending the death of the late Ualeb Morris, an inmate of the House. The explanation was deemed satisfactory. Dr Stephens attended deceased since he was appointed medical officer to the Wo k- house and prescribed for him weekly. De- ceased used to drop to the floor often and picked up as dead. He told the Nurse and che late Master that Caleb Morris wouiti -e Suddenly. On the Tuesday before his )death, he saw Morris in his usuai health in the corridor. On the Wednes- day night he had been out all night and, filaving a c,hill, was. confined to bed on l'hursday. Had he known it was an ur- gent case, he would have sent another medicalj man, but he thought there was no urgency. Dr Stephens, after the ex- planatton, was requested to appoint a Cardigan medical gentleman to act' as his deputy instead of Dr Jones, Boncath, which he promised to do. Extra Relief.—It was decided 'ro grant one shilling extra relief to out-door adult paupers, and sixpence to the child- ren at Christmas time, as well as the usual Christmas dinner for the inmates. Registrarship. A itong discussion ensued on the reading of a communica- tion from the Registrar General sugges"- ing that the distrct recently held by David Machias., registrar of births and deaths, should be divided, the borough of Cardigan being added to the district now iypld by Mr D. Morgan Jones, town clerk; and all the other parishes in Pembroke- shire added to the district held by Mr J. Williams, Newport, Pem. Under this ar- rangement there would be a population of 6,100 in one district, and 9,100 in the (-filler, neither of which the Registrar GeneraV thought would be too large to be covered by one registrar. The suggestion met w-ith the Board's disapproval, as the division would inflict great hardship on poor people residing at Manordivy or Cil- ger;-an who would have to journeyi ten jmi'/ss to Newport to reg»:s'cer a birth or death. Cardigan would be more con- I venient for them and for many_ others. It was, however, agreed that there should De two districts, and for the convenience of the public that the following parishe.; \)n inorth of Pembrokeshire should be added to Cardigan :—St. Dogmellh Rural, Manordivy, Llanfihangel, Penbedw, and (loyJgrove. It was decided to answer clie Registrar General accordingly. Education Preoept. — The Cierk an nounced the receipt of a preoept for £ 944 from the Cardiganshire County Council in respect of county rates. He would have to issue a precept for the amount.

MACHYNLLETH
MACHYNLLETH Doveyi Fishing Club.—A meeting of the Executive Committee was held at the Wynnstay Hotel on Saturday. December 9th, when it waa decided to hold a general meeting of the Club co consider the rales for the coming season on January 8th, 1907. COUNTY COURT, Saturday December 8th.—Before his Honour Judge Wil- liam Evans. Owen v. Pearson.—Mary Owen, w dow, Siren House, Towyn, sued M. S. Clair Pearson, spinster, Paris House, Towyn, for P,8 Os. 6d.—three weeks' rent of fur- nished house, L3 15s., use of stabling, or alternatively damage done by dogs, Ll 15s damage to crockery, furniture, etc., £ 2 10j. 6d. Mr. Oswald Davies, Dolgelley1, appeared for plaintiff. The case had been adjourned to endeavour to come to terms, but as the defendant had left for Llandudno terms had not been arranged, Defendant therefore applied for adjourn- ment in order to employ a so\icitor.—It was decided to go on with the case, the Judge saying at the end that defendant, if so advised, could apply for a new trial at the next court.—Mary Owen. the plai tiff, said sihe let a cottage at Towyn co defendant and her sister in June and left Towyn. She wrote co her neighbours to ascertain how things were going on and was then told that the defendant had five large St. Bernard dogs with her. She came home and expressed surprise that nothing had been said in the takirg of the cottage about dogs and defendan .c re- plied that she had forgotten to mention about the dogs. She wanted defendant to leave, but she said she cou!d not get an- other place and remained until the last moment on the 21st July. Plaintiff had let the pLace to o'cher visitors for the 25th and wanted to get into the house as soon as possible as she knew from 'che c-clotlr when standing at the front door that the house would require a great deal of cleaning. She could not desenbe chf condition of the house when she got in. It was most filthy. The dogs had been all over the house and into the bedrooms and the ware was smashed. She had the assistance of two women and a man and a carter to cart rche filth away. She threw buckets of water containing carbolic acid over the place to disinfect it. She was engaged at the work up to th, (m- o'clock in the morning and had to go to a doc'cor the next morning.—The Judge: Did the dogs live in the house?—Plaintiff IOS. there were marks all over the house. —Mrs. Jane Roberts, a neighbour, said the house was clean and tidy before de- fendant went in and in a very dirty state after they went ont.-His Honour gave judgment for the amount claimed, allow- ing defendant to apply for new 'crial at the next court.—Mr. Davies said that the witness had sacrified the whole day and hoped she would be allowed for more than half a day.—The Judge: The Regis- trar is very generous. w Humphreys v. Evans.—H. P. Humrt' reya, butcher, Corris, sued Thomas H. Fvans, wool merchant, Machynieth, for £3 ls. 3d., balance due in respect of the sale of skins. Mr. Oswald Davies ap- peared for plaintiff who said the skins were sold at 3s. 6d. Per skin and the Birmingham selling price 4s. 2d.-Defend- ant sa;d he made no profit on the skins when they were sold in Birmingham and he had paid the plaintiff the full value of the skins.—The Judge asked defendant if he had put c:, reserve price on the skins and .on defend- ant saying he had not done co. the Jud^e advised him to do so in future and gave judgment for the amount claimed. Rees v. Bucler and Davies.-Edward Rees, Pantyno, Cemaes, sued John Butler, The Mill, and John Davies, Llwyndu, for £1 13s. for the loss of one sheep by dog worrying and injury to a second ,lbe-ep.- lUr, Swanoott Morgan appeared for plain- tiff and Mr. Ivor Evans (Mr. A. J Hughes's offices, Aberystwyth) for 'che de- f eii dant. -Plaintiff said on the 11th Aug- ust he was awakened at two o'clock in the morning by 'che barking of dogs on the Common and went to the window. He was again awakened about four o'clock and went out with a loaded Run. He lOa" a black and tan dog, which was lame, which he knew belonged to Bcttlc-r, 311.1 blue dog which he did not know at the time but afterward found that it belonged to John Davies. He went to Butler's place. The dog crawled out of the stable when Butler called to it as if it had done something wrong. Butler asked the doa "What have you been doing now?" and, finding that the dog was wet, said he would hang it. Asked Butler about a blue dog and Butler said that nobody had a blue dog about there except John Davies. Went to Davies's place and saw the blue dog coming out of a pigsty. Davies when told said he would dook after the dog in future. The bitch was a bit wet. On returning home, plaintiff ex- amined his sheep and found one with a damaged foreleg and a second sheep dead on the Common near Tynywern with part of its hind leg eaten.-Cross-examined: When he went out with the gun he could e shot the dogs, bu'c he fired to frighten only. He was arterward asked to show the dead sheep, buc he did not go as it was too wet to go through the gorse on the Common.—The Judge said there had been no appointment to view the dt sheep.—Mary J Rees, plaintiff's wife,said she heard the dogs barking and awakened her husband and he looked out of the window. A'c firtt the dogs appeared to be at the end of the Common, but afterward came near the house. She identified the blue dog as belonging 'co John Davies, Llwyndu.—Morris Edward Davies, Cwm- bach, said he saw a dead sheep at e: o'clock on the Common near Tynyiwern, saw that it belonged to plaintiff, and that it had been killed by a dog. The body oi the sheep was warm.-It;ehard Jones, 'J'y;:rhos, also gave evidence.—For the de- fence, John Davies sgjd that when plain- tiff called on him abou'c five in the morni IT h;s blue dog was dry and clean. He had had the bitch for nine years and r^ever heard of anything out of way "w ith her nor had he complaints bv his neigh- bours respecting her.—By the Judge: She was noc shut up at night.—Defendant, in continued examination, said he could take his oath that it was not his dog that had k;led 'che sheep as he could prove that it was at home at the time. There were other blue dogs within a radius of two miles and he named about half a dozen places.—Butler, the other defendant, said his. dog was found to be dry when plain- tiff came. Plaintiff said he did not yet know what harm had been done by the dog and that he fired at the dogs, but was too far away to kid. He asked if (here was any blue dogs about and defendant named several places including f,lii-yndii.-The Judge thought the balance of evidence justified a verdict for plain- tiff. The dogs were recognised and it was clear that both of them were not tied up. He thought it a mistake that farmers did not keep their dogs tied up or shut up at night. JiMgment would be given for 23s for the dead sheep and for 3s. for the injured sheep.

Bezant Lc we, M.A., F.C.S., Cae oarw, Llanfairfechan, wrote offering to deliver a series of popular lectures at Machynlleth, but the Council did not feel disposed to afford the fees asked for. Place of Meetings. The Directors of the Town Hall Com- pany wrote that they could not accept the Council's offer of JB6 for the use of the Town Hall for holding Council and com- mittee meetings during the year. Hav- ing regard to the large number of meet- ings he'd, they considered that their oharge of 10 was reasonable.—Mr R. Gil- lart How long do the present arrange- ments stand? The Assistant Clerk There is no time specified.—Mr Pugh: Is it likely that we can have another place for £6 a year ?-No suitable suggestion was made and the Chairman said the Town Hall waa the most convenient place. He thought that the Directors were under a wrong impression as to the number of meetings, because several of the commit- tees met almost simulta neoii sly. -Reply- ing to further questions, the Assistant Clerk said that the T>resent terms included gas. but not fire.-Tli(- Chairman: We seldom come here at night.—Mr Pugh pro- posed that an offer of £10 inclusive of fire should be made and was seconded by Mr R Gillart. Mr Edward Jones thought that the offer was excessive and proposed £ 8 as an amendment which was seconded I by Mr Micah.—Mr Henry said it might be cheaper for the Council to put up a room for themselves.—Mr E.

Town Hall Company to accept so small an advance. He considered that £ 10 was a reasonable price considering the large number of meetings. It was splitting hairs.—On a vote the proposition to offer £ 10 was carried.—Mr Pugh: We can have as many meetings as we like.—Mr. E. Gillart: That is the intention. Additional Representation. The next business was to consider an appplication to the County Council for additional representation. Mr. Pugh wished to know what were the grounds upon which the Urban Council could ask for additional representation on the County Council ? On what basis were applications of that kind granted?—The Clerk said that since the previous meet- ing he had looked generally into the question. Of course it was quite clear that an application could be made. Now that it was approaching the end of the year, it was doubtful whether it was possible to obtain an Order in time for the next County Council election. He un- derstood that preparations for the March election were made in January, as a great deal of work had to be done. The application would have to be made in the first instance to the County Council and He believed a meeting was to be held next week. If the application came be- fore that meeting, in all probability com- missioners would be appointed to hold an inquiry into the general question and as they would have to report again to the County Council it appeared to be out of the question to have anything done before the next election. The grounds for the application would cover population, ratable value, and area. He had slight recollection only of the principle on which the existing divisions were decided upon. but was inclined to think that the posi- tion of Machynlleth was far better now than in 1888. He believed it was correct that Machynlleth was the only town in the county which had increased in population since then, and not only had population increased, but the ratable value and num- ber of houses had also increased. Look. ing generally at those facts, they were strong grounds for an application. He might suggest another ground. When they compared Machynlleth with other dis- tricts in the county, he was of opinion that they were not sufficiently represented and that was an important element. New- town and Welshpool had four representa- tives each; Llanfair. a rural -pariah with less population, had two; and Llanidloes had two representatives, but the popula- tion was larger. In regard to ratable value, Machynlleth stood better. The area was limited to Machynlleth and for its size compared well with any urban dis- trict. It was another point whether the district was ripe for application, but it was for the Council to consider whether it was advisable to make the application at the present juncture.—Mr Henry Lewis pointed out that the population of the urban district was less than when Mach- ynlleth was united to the outside parish. —The Clerk replied that the population of Machynlleth was 2,038, two less than at the time of the formation of the County Council. The population had been much lower, but increased. Llanidloes with a larger population had two members for the borough and one for the outside district.—Mr E. Gillart said that Llan- fair had two members for a population of 1,839, but the area was probably larger. —Mr Henrv Lewis: Thev had two from the first and the population may have gone down. — Mr E Gillart: Population may assist the application or otherwise, but the question may be different with regard to ratable value.—The Clerk said that the bulk of the inhabitants was the other side of Talerddig.—Mr Pugh said that matters cropped up between Mach- ynlleth and the County Council and it was necessary that they should have due re- presentation as their case would be re- presented more strongly by two members, instead of one. As the district com- pared favourably with other districts in regard to population and ratable value, he did not see whv they should not have more representatives for the town.—Mr E Gillart urged that the additional repre- sentation should be for the town, as dis- tinct from the outside district. In the event of the application being successful, would it mean that another district would have to suffer the loss of one member? The question was whether it was possible to increase the membership of the County Council.—The Chairman Tha\> can only be answered by the County Council.—Mr Pugh said there was another aspect of the matter. All the aldermen §eemed to fee frem the other end of the county.—On Mr Pugh's proposition, seconded by Mr E Gillart, it was agreed without dissent to make an application for increased repre- sentation for the urban district. The Common. The Clerk presented draft bylaws pre- pared for the regulation of Penrallt, Wylfa, and Pare Common under the scheme sanctioned by the Board of Agri- culture and the bylaws were afterward referred for consideration to a committee consisting of Messrs R Gillart, Henry Lewis, J Micah, Edmund Gillart, and J Pugh, who are to meet on Thursday even- ing after Christmas.—Reference was made to a case of turf cutting on the Common near the boundary line of Machynlleth parish, and the Clerk, replying to ques- tions, stated that Sir Watkin's agent claimed that the Lord of the Manor had absolute right to give permission. TJ bylaws when approved would be sent Sir Watkin for approval.—The matter then dropped.
ABERAYRON
ABERAYRON DISTRICT EDUCATION COMMITTEE. On Friday, there were present Major Price Lewes (chairman); Messrs Mor- gan Evans, E. L. Jones, J. M. Howell, Ð. J. Davies, E. Lewis, W. Griffiths, W. T. Davies, F. Fa-ans, R. Bevan, and B. C. Jones, clerk. The British School.—Mr. D. Jenkins, master of the Aberayron British School, wrote to ask what was to be done with the old stoves and desks piled up in the playground.—It was decided 'co refer the matter to the Finance Committee of the County Authority.—Mr. Jenkins also en- quired how ofcen the conveniences were to be cleaned and what method should he adopted to do so.—This question was re- ferred to the members of the committee residing in the town. Llanon School.—Mr. T. R. Davies, headmaster of Llanon, wrote saying it might be interesting for the authorities to know that the drain made lately be- hind the School drew some 7,200 gallons per day as gauged on the,pi-c.,t-iotis Tues- day during fair v< ather. This wi'ler uesd to pass under th-s behoolr).).ii Be or, and the new door was actually '.aid c.tr such.—The Architect wr a leng h.t.+cr answering eve'y point ra: ed master in his indictment- read ft the previous meting of the Committee. He had not gone down in response to the wire of the Headmaster because his ap- pointments were fixed for several days in advance, but sent down his assistant who was capable to deal with the matter. It appeared that when the contractor re- moved the old floor water was discovered lying under it, which cameTrom a spring on the outside of the back wall. To remedy this it would be necessary to ex- cavate the "earth and lay down a drain along the back wall. He procured an estimate from the contractor which he considered excessive. He could not auth- orise any extra expenditure without the consent of the District Committee. He wrote to the Headmaster explaining those facts. The drain had now been laid and the water was drawn away. With regard to the sleeper walls the contractor was correct, inasmuch as the old joists were only four and a half inch deep and the new joists were seven inches deep, so 'chat two walls were unnecesary. The new joists had a bearing of about nine fet six inches only. More- over, the old walls had 'to be removed as they only rested on the earth which had to be excavated in order to leave an air space between the underside of the joists and the top of the concrete, so that the contractor was justified in making use of che spare stone. The quantitv of stone was aomewhat over-seated. He oonsid- ered that the floor and timber were satis- factory. If the floor showed any signs of dampness, he would remove some boards and examine the concrete himself. H ohere were no signs of dampness, the mat- ter oould be considered at an end. His position with regard to the work was rendered somewhat difficult owing to a good deal of personal feeling between the parties concerned. He did not mean to shield the contractors. He would see Tc.hat the specification was adhered to to the Best of his abili'cy and the work carried out satisfactorily. On the other hand, he did not wish the contractor to be put to any unnecessary expend merely on account of any personal animosity which might exist. The explanations were ac- cepted. Repairs.—The Architect asked the Com- mittee to pass a bill for £ 12 2s 6d for ex- tras at Dihewid School due to Mr. v Jones, Lampeter.—This was done.—The Architect wrote that the Headmaster was complaining of the kitchen chimney which smoked.—It was resolved that the Archi- tect should do what was necessary in con- sultacion with the Local Managers. H* was also authorised to replace the stove by a new grate at the Aberarth Schoolroom wirich was not included in the repairs.. Penlone Headmastership.—Mr. Jenkym James, county clerk, wrote that he was unable to forward applications for the post of head teacher of Penlone Council School as the last day to receive applica- tions was December 12th. It was resolved that a special meeting be convened and that three members form a quorum. The County Education Committee meets on the 18th January. Salary.—The application of Winifred Davies, Talgarreg School, for an increase of salary was referred to Managers. Another Message from Dihewid Mr. Evans Hughes, Dihewid, wrote, dated December 6th—"It may interest you 'co Bear that the two assistants at the Di- hewid Council School gave a good acoount of themselves last Friday when in supreme charge. When the time arrived for the evening class macters were not so satis- factory. Strange to say, it appears that che authorities have not appointed a sub- stitute to take charge of that most lucra- tive job, so the young men and women of the district paraded the road ft,r about an hour with the result that their patience was rewarded, for about ten minutes to eight a man on horseback appeared on the scene. John Gilpin reappeared, might be the first impression of a specmjr. Truly enough The head teacher had hnd a horse on the road, so the jouth of this part of the country went indoor to re- ceive at is commonly called educa- 'cion. Everything went merrily on for about half an hour when they were ad- vised to leave and their teacher itounting Bis steed left in the direction of the Aeron Valley where, apparently, there was a more congenial compauy. Al.- W. T. Davies, in reply to a fjnostun, eaid that the head teacher had applied for and had received leave of absence on that day for a special purpose.-The letter was laid on the table. Attendance.—Mr. E. T. Rees, attend- ance officer for Llanoanfcffraid district, reported that there was an increase of at- tendance at the Aberayron British and National Schools, Aberarth British, Cilie Park, Cribin, Felinfaqh, and Pennant, and a decrease at Cilcennin, Llannon Mixed, and Llannon Infants Jor lhe month The schools which had ninety per cent attendance and above for the, month were Aberayron National and British, Aberarth brtish, and I-m. Llanddewi Aberarth headed the list with S3.3 attendances. The percentages for the whole district was 89.3; increase, 2.1 Mr Tom Jones, for Llansilio district, re- ported that Oross Inn, Llwyndafydd, Mydroilyn, and Llanarth had a percent- age of more than ninety per cent for the month, Llwyndafydd leading with 93.3. The percentage for the whole district was 87.2.
