Mountain Ash Education i G,U…
Mountain Ash Education i G,U M, t On Tuesday. Rev, E. V. Tidman in the chair. The other members present were Mrs. Owen Jones, Mrs. W. G. Williams, Dr. Morgan, Capt. F. N. Gray. J.P., Capt. G. A. Evans, J.P., Messrs D. Rogers, W. Millar, J.P., Bruce Jones, Griffith Evans, J. Charles, Wm. Evans, T W. Jones, Evan Morris, Silas Wil- liams, G. H. Ha!1, W. Lamburn, W. Davies, J. Powell., and Thos. Jones, with j Mr. Alfred Morgan (directoi). CORRESPONDENCE. Mr. Thos. Jone- moved the following: "That a ,small committee be appointed to read, prior to the meeting of the Edu- cation Committee, the correspondence, with a view to lessen, as far as possible, the number of letters, etc., to be brought before the Education Committee." He added that such correspondence could be better dealt with by a small committee. He suggested that the chairmen and vice-chairmen of the District Council and Education Committee should act. Air. W. Davies seconded. Capt. Gray asked if it would not be better to appoint a committee consisting of a member from each ward. Mr. Powell wanted to know whether this committee would ,be empowered to deal with the correspondence. An amendment moved that no committee be appointed but that the Director should exercise discrimination. The amendment was carried by 9 to 5. LETTING OF SCHOOLS. Mr. G. A. Evans had the following notion on the agenda: To consider the letting of the schools, and to pass a re- st lution thereon." Mr. Evans con- sidered that the charge of 2s. 6d. for the lean of a school-room was excessive. It ii, a- unreasonable to ask that sum from small Temperance Societies and Choirs, institutions which were kept alive by subscriptions He had been approached by several people and that was why he brought the matter forward. (Laugh- ter.) He moved that the rate be reduced b Is. F-d. for 2\ hours' use of school- rcom for societies. He would be pre- pared to charge 5s. per room for dances. Mr. W. Millar seccniul. Capt. Gray said that if the charges v ere to be altered they should apply all rcund and for all purposes. Mr. Powell remarked that this was the fourth occasion on Vvhich this matter had been discussed. It .DS not fair to moke a fish of one society and a lowl of another. A school was of equal value for all purposes. He moved that the charges remain as they were. -Let those societies n.ake use of chapels. Surely religion was not so low that the vestries could not be let for Temperance Societies. Mr Silas Williams seconded the amend- ment, and said that probably Mr. Evans, as an accountant, could do anything with figures. (Laughter.) In the Director's estimate he allowed ed. only for the care- t.ther-2d. per hour. Capt. Gray and Mr B. Jones cculd say that firewood cost something. (Laughter.) It was shame- ful to treat the caretakers in this man- ner. Possibly they were so treated be- cause they were females, and he was sur- prised that the female members did not stand up for them. (laughter.) Mrs. O. Jones: You don't give us a chance. Capt. Evans' motion was lost. SCHOOL APPOINTMENTS. I The Director asked for instructions re the appointment of a head-teacher to Carnetown Mixed School. It was decided to make the appoint- ment that day. The Director said that the headmasters of small schools who were eligible for j promotion were Mr Edgar Thomas (Cefn- | pennar), Mr. Wigley (Newtown), and Mr Hughes (Ynysybwl). They were appoint- ed trained certificated teachers as fol- ed trained certificated teachers as fol- lows: Thomas. Jan., 1895; Wigley, Aug., 1895; Hughes, Oct., 1895. The voting took place between Mr. Wigley and M.r. Hughes. For Mr. Wigley: Messrs. T. Jones, J. Powell, W. Davies, W. Lamburn, G. H. I Hall, E. Morris, J. Charles, Griffith Evans, W. Millar, F. N. Gray, and G. A. Evans-II. For Mr. Hughes: Mrs. W. G. Williams, Mrs. Owen Jones, Messrs. S. Williams, T. W. Jones. W. Evans, B. Jones, D. Rogers, and Dr. Morgan—8. It was next decided to make an ap- pointment to Newtown School. The three names submitted by the Director j were Mr. D. T. Edwards, Abercynon; Mr 1 George Shaw, and Mr. W. Ellis Thomas. I The dates of appointments given by the Director were: Edwards, Aug., 1897; Shaw, Aug., 1899; Thomas, Oct., 1897. The Director looked up the minutes and discovered an entry to the effect that Mr Edwards was appointed on June 2, 1897, and Air. Shaw on April 20, 1899. It was pointed out that the Education Committee were in the habit of adding two years to length of service of those who served their term as pupil teachers under the Llanwonno School Board. Mr. Silas Williams: Can Mr. Shaw teach Welsh? M;. Powtdl: Yes. Mr. Williams: I question it. Mr. Shaw told me that he had only recently begun to study Welsh. Mrs. Jones: But he teaches Welsk. Mr. Charles: He is an authority on Welsh place-names. Mr. S. Williams: So is Mr. Linton, but he cannot teach Welsh. (Laughter.) Mr. B. Jones: I never heard of the custom to allow 2 years to our own teachers. Mr. Powell: That custom has always been observed. Mr. Rogers: The question is which of the applicants is the best to fill the post. 1fr. Shaw cannot teach Welsh. I tried him the other day, and he cannot even _L. sjjraiv ii pi <j[jeny. The members then voted, when Mr. Shaw was appointed by an absolute majority over Mr. Edwards and Mr. Thomas. TEMPERATE TEMPERANCE. The Director reported having received a specimen booklet, which, he said, taught Temperance in a temperate man- ner. He recommended that copies be ob- tained for ise at school. Mr. T. W. Jones: And send a copy to every member. Capt. Gray: Don't send one to me; send two to somebody else. (Laughter ) The Director's recommendation, was adopted COUNTY SCHOOL. Dr. John James, Glamorgan Education Committee, wrote calling the attention of the Mountain Committee to the iin- satisfactory position of a few pupils at the Mountain Ash County School. He asked for the observations of the Com- mittee thereon. The Committee decided to write to the parents of the pupils mentioned in Dr. James' letter. HOLIDAYS. Mr. R. P. Dowling applied for a half- holiday for his school to hold school sports. The Director recommended that it be granted. Mr. Bruce Jones complained of the fre- qrency of holidays. It was nothing but holidays at Abercynon. The whole of the schools there were closed on the prev- ious day because of a tea-party in a chapel. He understood they were to be closed many more Monday afternoons. The Director remarked that the schools were opened 420 or 430 timee last year out of a possible 440. Mr. B. Jones: Any excuse is good enough for a holiday at Abercynon. 1 move that these sports be held on a Saturday. Mr. W. Millar seconded, and this was carried by a large majority. WORKERS' ASSOCIATION. Mr. Moses Jones, Pontypridd, secretary of the Workers' Educational Association, wrote asking the ,Committee to affiliate with that body, "Ili, Pon typridd CJlin- oil had done so and paid the guinea fee, which had not been disallowed by the auditor. Capt. Gray moved that they adhere to their previous resolution not to affiliate. If the Director attended the meetings of this Association his other work would get in arrears, and pcssibly he would want another clerk to help him. Director: I have not brought this matter forward in order to have a trip. I don't care whether you join or not. Capt. Evans seconded Capt. Gray's motion. Mr. Silas WTilliams, in moving that they become affiliated, observed that the auditor was quite.as sharp as their legal adviser. Mr. Rogers seconded this, and it was carried by 13 to 7. VARIOUS. Miss M. John, Miskin Infants School, resigned her position. The B.C. School, Miskin Mixed and Miskin Infants were granted the usual half-holiday for excellent attendance. On the motion of Mr. G. H. Hall it was agreed to grant a holiday at Pen- rhiweeiber on the occasion of the Sunday School Demonstration.

_.-__-_____----Trinity, Aberdare.
Trinity, Aberdare. Anniversary services were held at Trinity English C.M. Church on Sun- day, the special preacher being the Rev. Howell Harris Hughes, Oswestry. On Sunday morning Mr. Hughes preached a sermon from Psalm 51, 10, Create in me a clean heart, 0 God, and renew a right spirit within me." In this Psalm, said the preacher, the Psalmist prayed (1) for newness, (2) for resolve. The author of this Psalm had realised the inward nature of life. It was not words and actions that made up life. Life itself was the priniciple around which all our activities centred. The Psalmist real- ised that change in character was brought 'about by influences from without. Scient- ists told us that heredity and environ- ments decided everything. This newness might be acquired at a cost. The process (If refreshing the soul might be a painful one It was oftentimes necessary to shake the foundations of a man's being in order to make room for the dynamo of the new life. Our prayer should be, "0 God, give me at any cost the power that will endow me with newness. In the afternoon a service of song, en- titled, "The Life of Elijah." was per- ftrroed by a choir of children umler the ccnductorship of Mr. Daniel Jones. Mr. J. Arlrite Phillips was the organist. The -a c various choruses, which were very well rendered by the choir, were interspersed with readings by the following: Messr". W. Woods, W. T. James, George Parr, Alfred Hayman, W. D. Morris, D. J. Morgan, Evan Williams, George Wil- liams, Willie Collins, Glyn Nicholas T. Christmas Jones, Misses Milda Jones, May Gratton, Lena Gratton, Maggie Griffiths, Edie Shale, Lena Shott, Irene Jones, Florence Fowler, Louie Fowler, May Morgan. The Rev. H. H. Hughes, who presided, delivered a brief and ap- propriate address.

Labour Jottings. BY "DEMOS." Mr. Keir Hardie has still in him the instincts of an old manual toiler. On Monday while speaking at the Aberdare Market Hall, the heat of the atmosphere and the heat of his subject became too much for him. He stopped abruptly, took off hh coat, and then went at it might and main to grapple with the principalities and powers of individual- ism and capitalism in his shirt sleeves. I I At the Aberaman Institute meeting not one of the illustrious platformists got a more hearty reception than C B. The applause that greeted him when he got up to speak was deafening, and the familiar cry, "All's well;" rang through the building. I suppose that Monday was the first time in the history of Aberdare for a High Constable, wearing his official chain, to appear on the platform of a Labour gathering Councillor W. Thomas is, without doubt, an epoch-maker. Our senior member deserves a tribute for his presence at the Aberaman func- tion. Though not exclusively a Labour gathering it was a meeting mainly of workmen to open an institute bulilt main- ly by workmen for workmen This was Mr. D A.'s first public appearance since bis illness, He and his walking-stick have not yet parted company, and with- out doubt his attendance at this meeting coat him a grim effort. •'Welsh Gossip," in our contemporary makes some references to the ex-chair- man of a neighbouring District Council.

Five colliers have now ceased work in accordance with this resolution.
