BALA GKAMMAR SCHOOL.
BALA GKAMMAR SCHOOL. THE governors of Bala Grammar School are seeking subscriptions with the object of pro- viding additional accommodation for boarders. It will be seen from an advertisement in another part of the paper that the Charity Com- missioners have consented to the expenditure of £800 trust money in supplying this increased accommodation if a further sum of from £-WO to £700 can be raised by subscription amongst the ffiends of education in Wales. Already a sum of upwards of £330 has been secured, and if the governors of the school are as successful as they ought to be, they will easily raise a larger amount than has been set down. Bala is well situated for a school, and it is almost certain that any public grammar school, managed by intelligent gover- nors, will be able to secure a considerable share of those advantages which must accrue when Government brings in its scheme of intermediate education. Almost everything depends on what the schools are able to do for themselves before the Government scheme is produced. Bala School has recently made considerable progress, and there ought to be no difficulty in raising £1,000 or £1,500 to erect the necessary buildings. If the inhabitants of the town and neighbourhood were alive to their own interests, they would look upon money subscribed to this fund, not as unproductive gifts, but as capital invested in a remunerative undertaking. It is true the interest will not come back directly, but that it will come back indirectly is certain. If Bala school is doubled in size, and greatly increased in reputation, the town will not only be benefited by the number of extra pupils and masters at the school, but by the families who will come to reside in the town and neighbourhood for the advantages which the school and the colleges offer. The desire for sound intermediate education is rapidly growing in Wales, and it would be wise, in providing extra accommodation at the school, that this desire should be taken into account, and that the buildings should be so large that it would not be necessary in a year or two to make a fresh appeal for help. One thing may be taken for granted, that whatever is done by private subscription will not militate against the school's obtaining substantial Government help, but will tend rather to attract help on the ground that those who have done something for themselves, and have taken an intelligent view of the requirements of the country, will be deemed most worthy of being entrusted with the expenditure of public money, and with increased powers. A difficulty, whose extent is scarcely ever recognised, is that of securing publicity. A public announcement is made, and then the institution drops out of notice for a year or two. Nothing requires greater skill or more constant effort than to keep an institution like the Bala Grammar School well before the public. There is ample scope at Bala for a very large and successful school, and the whole thing depends on the energy, foresight, and representative character of the governors. Success will be limited, not by the scope there is for the school, but by the wisdom of those who have the management of it. Bala is early in the field, and, with care, may figure as prominently in future schemes of intermediate education for boysasDr. WILLIAMS'S school at Dolgelley has already figured in pro- s posed schemes for the future intermediate edu- cation of girls.
' THE WASTE* OF PARLIAMENTARY…
THE WASTE* OF PARLIA- MENTARY TIME. ALMOST a fortnight has been utterly wasted by the House of Commons in the debate on the Address. The time has fully come when the constituencies should let their representatives know that this waste of time will not be tolerated. Day after day the aimless stream of talk continues to flow as if the House of Com- mons were a provincial debating society, as free from responsibility as the speeches are free from point. A fortnight has been wasted in February, which next August would be invaluable. Rules of procedure may be passed, but after all the amount of work done in the t House of Commons depends on the temper of the constituencies. If the constituencies are in earnest in their demand for legislation a termi- nation will soon be put to the useless talk. Three or four hundred numerously signed memorials, addressed to the PRIME MINISTER, deprecating the waste of time which has char- acterized the proceedings of the House of Com- mons since Parliament reassembled would strengthen the hands of the PRIME MINISTER and enable him to press forward those measures which it is the object of the Tories and the Irish members to defeat, or, at any rate, to delay. Nothing whatever has been gained by the twelve days' discussion on the Address from the Liberal point of view. The Tories, of course, are satisfied, inasmuch as they have already made it impossible to carry many of the measures which it was expected would become law this year. Every day wasted now will be sorely missed at the latter end of the session, and the important question for the constituencies is whether something should not be done at once, so that a stop may be put to that frittering away of time and opportunity which means loss to the country. Wales expects that a Bill will be passed this year to carry into effect the recommendations of the Departmental Com- mittee. This Bill is only possible by time being saved at the beginning of the session. If the Welsh Education Bill is not passed this year the whole question may easily be shelved for many a year to come, for the present Parliament is growing old. Every year decreases the chances of anything being done for Wales, and we therefore hope that an effort will he made on the part of the constituencies to remonstrate against the almost criminal waste of time which has hitherto characterized the proceedings of the House of Commons. Lord CARDINGFORD, speaking at Coventry on Tuesday night, enumerated the Bills which the Govern- ment desired to deal with, and complained that, owing to the Conservative opposition, they should have been so long delayed. It is unfor- tunate that his lordship did not advise the people of Coventry to protest against the delay. Now is the time to protest, and not in the second week of next September.
THE CAMBRIAN RAILWAYS.
THE CAMBRIAN RAILWAYS. THE traffic returns of the Cambrian Railways Company show a decline of nearly the six months, the loss being due to a falling off in the receipts for merchandise and minerals. This decline is, no doubt, correctly attributed, partly to bad trade, and partly to the increased competition of the large companies in the slate district. A further cause of loss is now operat- ing in the suspension of cattle fairs all over the district. The passenger traffic is incrpasing, and we believe would increase far more if th<- directors would only recognize the fact that a tradesman at Newtown who wants to visit Aber- i
