Ihl uubrian ItIUS, I Friday, September 13 1918 I 1 I HONOURING A GREAT | LEAKER. j The National Council of Public Morals have issued an appeal for £ 20,000 with which to inaugurate a memorial to the late Viscount Rhondda. It is an excellent suggestion, and one which will reach the hearts of tile people throughout the Kingdom, but it is J :1 questionable if the Council have aimed 4 sufficiently high in fixing the amount at ^20,000. The objects are- (1) To provide for the establishment of a Rhondda Memorial Lectureship, the lecture or lectures to be delivered annually by a recognised authority on some aspect of social or moral advance. (2) To acquire premises to be associ- ated with his name, including a Rhondda Memorial Lecture Hall, at which the Council's work and the Com- missions and Boards of social and moral J enquiry may be conducted, and a Rhondda Library on racial, hygienic, I and moral questions for the use of students. (3) To raise a permanent fund for the carrying on of the work of the Council and Commissions throughout the United Kingdom, so that knowledge may be gained and an intelligent in- terest may be created and fostered in racial hygienic, and moral refofm. Briefly, the Council intend to create an efficient organisation on the founda- tion which has been already laid down-an organization which shall keep before the people the aims and objects for which Lord Rhondda's name is famous. The late Viscount had taken the greatest interest in many of the enquiries and Commissions appointed at the instigation of the Council, particularly in the National Birth Rate Commission and also in the cinematograph enquiry, not failing to assist also financially. In the matter of the Birth Rate Commission his in- itiative in the collection of data had much to do with the success of the Council and, in putting forward the .appeal, the signatories state, He made himself the champion, in face of the war, of the proposal for a Ministry i of Health, which was first put forward I. at the Council's conference in 1915." Viscount Rhondda was the origin- ator of the scheme for a Health Mln- mstry and the memorial shows that those who have been working to this k
