Police and "Orator." I.L.P. MEETINGS AT PENARTH. iAt Penarth on Wednesday the summons againstE. Black, described in the charge sheet as an orator," the South Wales organiser of the Independent Labour Party, for obstructing the thoroughfare at the corner of Windjor- road, near the post office, on Monday, May 17th, was re-heard. On the previous occasion, when the case was heard a fortnight ago, the Bench (Messrs J. W. Pyman and S. Thomas) failed to agree. The case was now heard before Mr T. P. Thomas and Mr A. W. Travis. Inspector Letheran repeated the evidence given on the previous occasion, that defendant was addressing a crowd of about 300 people from the pedestal beneath the-lamp-post in the square. When asked to desist on.account of the obstruction delendanfc said, I refuse to stop if I stop now 1 shall always have to. I accept sole responsibility I wish to make a test case of it." Inspector Letheran, recalled by defendant, eaid that he had received a petition from the inhabitants protesting against public meetings iit the streets of Penarth, but he had no official knowledge of any resolution by the District Council to a similar effect. Walter Henry Ayles, an organiser for the Independent Labour Party, living at MilkwaU, Forest of Dean, called for the defence, said he had addressed three meetings at that spot in Penarth within the past twelve months and suffered no interference at the hands of the potice. John Jennings, a marine store dealer, said that when the police first appeared there were not more than 50 to 100 people present, and on the appearance of the inspector about 150. No carriage or pedestrian was obstructed. Rev. Ben. F. Wilson, of Windsor-terrace, Penarth, who described himself as a lecturer, denied that the conversation was in the terms given by the police or that defendant said he intended to make a test case of it. There was no obstruction. Defendant addressed the Bench, and declared it to be the smallest meeting he had conducted at that spot, and there was no obstruction. At the District Council one member, referring to meetings at this spot, said, I don't want them to interfere with the Salvation Army, but I don't care what they do with the Socialists," and he denied that any obstruction had been created or that the evidence clearly proved this allegation. The Bench imposed a fine of 10s and costs. Defendant: What's the alternative please t Mr T. P. Thomas Seven days. Defendant asked that the imposition of the fine should be suspended for 14 days. Mr T. P. Thomas Are you able to pay the fine ? Defendant: Yes, but I want to consult my committee. Mr T. P. Thomas As you are able to pay the fine we- cannot discriminate between you and any other.person. Defendant: I only wanted to consult my committee. fhe money was-eventually paid. I

University Colleges. DISTRIBUTION elF GRANTS. A White Paper issued on Wednesday records that the Treasury have had under considera-1 tkm, in consultation with the Board of Educa-* tion, a report from the University Colleges Advisory Committee, stating the conclusio ns at which the committee have arrived on certain questions affecting the distribution of the grants made to universities and university colleges. Referring to the conditions under which the institutions should be permitted to participate, in the grants, the Treasury state that they con- curwith the-committee in the recommendations as to the conditions to be required, which may be summarised as follows :— (1) Any institution desiring to secure a share of the grant must be prepared to afford satis- factory instruction of University standard,, which should normally include English. classics,1 French, German, history, philosophy, mathe- matics, physics, chemistry, and biology. (2) The courses of instruction must be attended by a reasonable number of students capable of profiting by the edification afforded. (3) The buildings and initial equipment must be adequate for the courses established. (4) The aggregate income of the institution. whether derived from grants or otherwise, must be sufficient to maintain all its departments in a state of efficiency, and to provide a super-, annuation scheme. (5) The grants should be confined P instit-u-rl tions serving great centres of population and no new institution should be admitted UIÙesS, it serves a district not already adequately pro- vided with instruction of University standard. (6) Due regard must be paid not only to the' standard and the ef,ficiency of the teaching, but ) also to the spirit animating the institution and: its influence as an intellectual centre. Consolidation of Grants. The Treasury are satisfied, that it would not be practicable under present circumstances to consolidate the grants or to place their distribu- tion in the hands of any one department of the State. The Treasury propose, therefore, to invite the Board of Education and the Board of Agricul ture to furnish the committee from time to, time, asfar as practicable, with such a statement showing in the case of eacjh- college the-extent and character of the work in respect-of.which grants are-made by those Departments, The Treasury hope that with this informajicu before them the committee will be able so oo frame- their rerommendntionias-to ensure thai -the same, work: isinot paid for "twice over. The Treasury are^further of opinion that the r committee should aim at excluding from the pur-viewof the University colleges grant all. work for which the colleges could ol-tain- giants either irothe-Board of Education or the Beardof Agriculture. As, however, this change may at first affect the arrangements and practice ofsome of the*eoUeges it should/ berintroduced gradually and with due coai-j siderafcion -fonexistiagiconii itauns. Subject to these ohservatawnsith e Treasury ? concur with the commifcteesthat^tbe-naethods of <fistmbution.iwtlK?rt» in^OTce* sheukTbe-re-v placed -by ao^Bocatiomtariikigvttpon the-recog- • nition of the essential cOUagetestablishmeoti charges on the one b.-ind,.sndaoftbc--nnmber; and nature, of effective udepartments on the. s, grant." The grant awarded-;&o<eaeh cpflegc should be *■ a single aggregateisunv, which should hold good for a quinquennium, subject to any readjust- ment necessary in respect-of possiple transfers of sections of work, between the colleges and other institutions. The Treasury also agree that, with an aggre- gate grant so determined, it-willnot be neces- sary to continue the system of separate special grants for such purposes as post-graduate work, apparatus, or equipment, and super- annuation funds but they will, however, re- quest the committee, in fixing the grant in: each case to hawe «p»ecial re^rd to the amount" of local support secured by the college as' shown by the amount of st.odents';fees and other-income deanenfrom loeaifc sources. LkHforraity of Standard. The committee refer to the importance of. establishing something like umformifcy of standard in the "preUnAnarp,edu demanded-as a condition oJ. admission to a degree-course and express the opdnion < £ h«t. the desired end will be best-attainect fey cap- ference and co-operation among the-vacioas university and college authorities. The Treasury agree with the eommn-ueelasl to the importazM^of'tiiisqQestkm^aau^iovfte' them to conmder it farther in coenmaajicJitSonA with the Board of Education. I ,tfemktij that-the tion ofthe three w.eIsh Ctei-I leges should also be secured. _■ With respect to theammalgrants-of; now made to universities as distinct from colleges, the Treasury-states that as at present advised, they are disposed to doubt whether assistanee frompnblic funds should continue to be given for the examining or, degree-grant-, ing, rather than tbeir teaching- functions, and to think that the grants might, with advant- age, be merged in the aggregate sum to be ^Amsted by the-committee b«t before "finally ^Amsted by the-committee b«t before "finally deciding the question they "will await a further expresam of the views of the-connnfttfe.
