THE FIGHT FOR THE SCHOOLS.—II. [From an Occasional Correspondent.] In opposing the denominational system of education, and the new demands of the sec- tan-an party, who have we in the field ar- rayed against us ? The parent ? -No. Speaking broadly, the choice of the parent lies where there is direct popular management, where the conscience clause is being observed, and where the most efficient trailing is executed. All these are features which exclusively do honour to die School Board system. The National Schools can lay credit to none of them. To say that the majority of parents have a decided preference for the denominational schools and that they show it by sending their children thereto, only betrays that either the whole field has not been traversed, or that there is a gross misrepresentation of facts. It is true that according to the annual report of the Education Department for 1894-5, we find a slight difference in the average attendance in favour of the Church Schools. The figures being—Church of Eng- land, 1.847,660 Board, 1,777,797. But we should consider that in many instances chil- dren are sent to the denominational schools because they are more convenient to the re- sidences of parents. Others, again, are forced to it against their wishes, because the Board Schools are too full to take them in. This, and the fact that there are over 8000 parishes in England and Wales, where de- nominational schools alone are available, will' certainly heighten the figures allotted in the returns to the Board School average atten- dance in the mind of every unbiased person. No parent, evidently, would wittingly frus- trate his own and his children's interests if lie could avoid it; but thus, without ques- tio, would be the result of advocating the de,nomimatioilad demands. Is it possible that we have Nonconformists arrayed against us in this contest? We trow not. They have not yet forgotten the horrors of the inquisition, the blood of their martyred forefathers, which was sacrificed for the sake of religious liberty, and they exist not to-dav without having inherited a large measure of the heroic spirit. Nonconformists must be too wide-awake to be duped' into the belief that the "intoler- able strain," which is said to rest. upon the neck of the denominational schools will not be a yoke upon their own necks if removed. They. certainly, must be aware that to "capture the Board Schools at the present juncture is nothing but a flagrant attempt to "rip up the education settlement of 1870." Is it right to stop the express train which has run so exceedingly well for a quarter of a century until the old stage-coach makes better progress ? Surety, there is no Nonconformist, there- fore, that will take up arms against us in this struggle. We may certainly count upon their support in stemming the tide of Epis- copal obscurantism. To be slack in discharg- ing this urgent duty would be to forsake their standard. Who have we, then, in the field fighting against us ? ° We answer, the extreme wing of the olerical party. Many staunch Churchmen there are who extend* but very little aid to the denominational system of education, un- der private control, simply because they are bitterly opposed to such a system, and for the same reason. we find many who prefer to give their supporc to the British and For- eign School Society. We have to deal with a new phase of the religious difficulty, and our grim antagonists are found in the ranks of British clericals. To traduce the system so magnificentlv carried out by the Board Schools, by press- ing insolent claims upon a reluctant people, is a procedure quite unworthy of friends and leaders of education. Dean Gregory thinks it the best way, in order to represent the Voluntary School system in its best form. to viEfí the Board School work an most abusive language. At a. meeting at Bournemouth. "I April 2nd, 1892, he gave utterance to the forowing -"If they wanted to know the precursor of that terrible day of which they were told in Revelations, that day of anti- Christ, which would come sooner or later. he would tell them he believed they would be helping that cause of anti-Christ by allow- ing a School Board." One would think that an individual so privileged, would have had more regard to truth and equity than to rail at a quarter of a century's work on behalf of elementary I education, which has progressed by leaps and bounds, which has raised' the status of such education to a higher altitude, and whose effici,ency totally eclipses that of the "volun- tary" schools. The great transgression of the Board Schools is the exclusion of the Church litur- gy and catechism. Because School Boards stand faithfully and honourably to the con- science clause, and the Cowper-Temple clause, provided by the settlement of 1870, and sternly refuse to be persuaded to sell their birthright for a mess of pottage, they are ruthlessly classified in the category of those that work for the "cause of anti-Christ." What scurrility In two sermons preached at Torquav. one gene of lesser note designated a School Board as a "public denying of Jesus Ohrist," and another called it the "system of the devil. No such highly-coloured language has yet been used by the School Board party. The cause for which they fight has a solidity which enables them to dispense with viru- lence. The clerical party, it is right to admit, is not by any means unanimous in its denuncia- tion of Board Schools. The head of the English Church, the Archbishop of Canterbury, says: "We should get on a great deal faster with what we want to get on with. if people would c-ease their futile denunciations of the Board Schools." "I am persuaded that in a very great number of Board Schools there is a very good religious teaching indeed. Those terrors of polymorphous religion in which a child is being taught in one standard by a Baptist, and in the next by a Congrega- tionalism and in the next by a Roman Catho- lic, do not exist." The Bishop of Winches- ter said in December that he was "anxious to try and dissipate any idea which might be prevalent that the Church of England was hostile to Board Schools." The Bishop of Durham has spoken words to the same effect. Thus, we see that the best minds of the clerical party are with us on the religious as- pect of this question. Evidently, it is by the extreme section of that party that we are bitterly attacked; and it is against them. therefore, and their adherents that we must level our guns.

At New- borough, Talysarn, &e., a slight ejidemic exists among children.—The Chairman And the open weather, I suppose. Mrs Hughes applied for permission to adopt geography as a specific subject in the higher standards. She had already adopted Welsh.—The Chair- man said that they had received complaints from the intermediate school that the child- ren of boardi schools were under a disad- yanage owing to their not being instructed in geography. He moved that the applica- tion of Mrs Hughes be acceded to.—The Rev O. Williams seconded, and it was passed.— —A suggestion by Mrs Hughes that the board should buy a sewing machine for the use of the school, instead of giving books as prizes annually to the children, was deferred until the next meeting.—The Clerk reported that the grants earned by the -^wthill School amounted to JB69 2s, as compared with JB66 17s last year.—Joseph Ellis was appointed cleaner of Twthill School.—The Attendance Officer reported that during the month of February the number of children on the school books of the town was 1814, as com- pared with 1739 for the corresponding month last year, with an average attendance of 1386, as compared with 1082 in February. 1895.

As to the teaching of Welsh, the teachers had not reported as they were requested, but the headmaster said if Welsh were made abso- lut, a large proportion of his boys, being English, would no doubt leave the school? It was resolved to ask the teachers for a re- port on the teaching of Welsh to be con- f-idered with the new code, and to advertise again for a teacher, adhering to the Welsh but naming the salary offered.

DOLGELLEY. PETTY SESSIONS.—On Tuesday, be. fore Dr E. Jones and other magistrates, T. F. Walton, landlord of the Llwyn Arms, was charged with permitting drunkenness. Mr W. R. Davies prosecuted on behalf of the police, and Mr Lloyd Carter (Carnarvon) defended. At the outset Mr Munro Ed. wards (senior magistrate) made an announce- ment to the effect that he could not on prin- ciple sit in this case. The reason was that Mr Walton, the licensee, had been to see him, and had discussed the case. That being so, he felt it was his duty to withdraw for fear he might have a biased mind in the matter. He considered it to be a growing evil for people summoned for alleged breaches of the law to see magistrates pre- vious to the hearing of cases. This practice should be at all times be discouraged or it might lead to a miscarriage of justice.—Dr Jones endorsed Mr Edwards's remarks.— Evidence was then called to prove that a man named W.

He, therefore, advised that this should be taken into care- ful consideration before adopting any new Acc, which would still further weigh on the rates.—A .engtihy discussion then ensued as to whether the Public Lighting Act shouSd be adopted or not. One proposal was for adopting the Act, and another for post- poning the consideration of the matter to a more largely-attended meeting of the rate- payers.

In this case, "tJIe Lord had warned him not to Rend his sons to court" (laughter).—Mr W. p. Owen (the de- fending solicitor): Probably he saw in a "vision" the result of the case (renewed laughter). P.C. Owen proved the case, and said that lie saw Humphreys in the act of spearing a salmon. One of the Griffiths car- ried a torch, and the other a can of oil with which the torch was fed.—The defence was an alibi, but the bench considered that. the case had been proved. In consequence, how- ever, of the good character previously borne by the defendants, they tl\ok a lenient view of the case, and fined Humphreys 5s and costs. Inasmuch as the other lads were not present the fine would be doubled, or in default they would be sentenced to 14 days' imprisonment, with hard labour each.

CARNARVON COUNTY COURT. WEDNESDAY.—^Before his Honour Sir Horatio Lloyd. CORPORATION OF CARNARVON v. WHITE.—The iQorpoiraltioR of Carnarvon had sued Thomas White, Cae Bold, Carnar- von, for £ 7 4s 3d, including costs, for rates alleged to be due.—Mr Richard Roberts ap- peared for the defendant.There being no appearance on behalf of the plaintiffs, the case was struck out with costs. SUPPLIED.—Messrs Pierce and Wdiiams, Golden Goat, Carnarvon, for whom Mr Richard Roberts appeared, sued W. H. W illiams, Moelwyn Mines. Tanygrisiau, to recover the sum of X6 17s 5d for goods sup- piie .—. udgment for the plaintiffs for the amount claimed. FOR THE DEFENDANT-Laura Jones. Penygroes, sued Robert Roberts, of the sam6 I visage, to recover the sum of R5 15s for nursing the defendant's late wife. &c.—Mr Richard Roberts for the plaintiff, and Mr J J. Ivoberts for the defendant, in favour of whom lus Honour gave judgment. j „-LE^1}FG -Robert Jones, j Bridge-istireet, Carnarvon, sued John J- tinj/ Roberts, 2, Uxbridge-square, Carnar- von to recover the sum of 10s for the hire of books.—The same plaintiff sued Arthur VV iLiams, bank clerk, Bee Hive Temper- ance Bangor-street, Carnarvon, to recover S ? on,V'11|11rmMc:'°n—Mr Richard Koberts defended m both actions. The de- fence was that the plaintiff had assigned everything to a tru-tee, and that the right of -action with him.—Judgment for de- I fendants. AN APPLICATION FOR EJECTMENT, This was an action in which John Robert Jones, Newborough, appeared as plaintiff, and Charles Chamberlain and Robert Ro- berts, Newborough, as defendants.—Mr J. Bryn Robeits, M.P. (instructed by Mr E. G. Roberts. Holvhead), appeared for the P-aintiff. and Mr Ellis Jones Griffith, M.P. (instructed by Mr Richard Roberts, Carnar- von), for the defendants. — The plaintiff nought to eject all persons from a house and preirises called and known as -No. 1, Tair- braich-terrace, Newborough. and which is in the occupation of Charles Chamberlain. The plaintiff further demand* of "R/JIPTT Roberts the sum of £ 6, being a year's rent of the said premises wrongullv received by ftmi .asc November from Margaret Roberts, the late tenant.-It appears that the propertv was conveyed to Ellen Roberts, the wife of Robert Robert in 1879 for her life, and after her death as she should appcint. She died m November. 1894, and by her will gave the house to the plaintiff.—On the other hand, Captain Roberts, the defendant, claimed that notwitlistandrrig the deed and will, he was enatU'd to the house, as lie did not under- stand the will of 1879.—Judgment for the plaintiff. AOOOrXTS "YN ANTED.—This was an- other action from Newborough. in which Jane Evans and others were the plaintiffs, and their sister, Ann Jones, the defendant. Mr Vincent (Messrs Lloyd Carter, Vin- cent. and Douglas Jones) for the plaintiffs, and Mr E.lis Jones Griffith, M.P. (instructed by Mr Richard Roberts), for the defendant. It appears that Samuel Jones, the parties' father, by his will dated March. 1874, left all lis property to lrs wife during her life, and afterwards to the children. As to the residue, there was an intestacy. The testa- tor died in 1879, when it transpired that the only money left by him amounted to JE200. which the testator had lent to a man named Griffith Jones. Evidence would be produced to prove that the sum of £ 200 was received by the widow, and either lent or given by her to the defendant. The widow died in 1395, and the defendant, who had consti- tuted herself executrix de son toru had de- clined to pay a legacy of £100. which Jane Evans was entitled to under the testator's will, and she had likewise declined to ren- der any account of the residue.—Mr Vincent applied for an administration of the estate. an account of the money received by the widow, and the payment of the le^acv re- ferred to.—Mr Griffith, on behalf of the de- fence, said that the simple answer to the case was that there was no money. The right of Jane Evans to the legacy was dis- puted, owing to the fact that the testator had lent £100 to her by way of mortgage, but it was admitted that the'widow had re- ceived £ 200.—His Honour made an orde-r for administration of the estate on the terms praved for. and the case was referred to the registrar.

"Where, and how to get a living?" is perhaps the most burning question of the day; and any literature bearing practically upon the subject is heartily welcomed. We have received a very interesting little pam- phlet entitled 'The Dominion of Canada as & field for emigration. The Temiscamingue district in particular," by Mr C. C. Farr which should specially oommend itself to anxious parents who are confronted with the problem, "What to do with our boys?" Mr Farr writes with the masterly compre- hension of his subjects which a 25 yeare' sojourn in the neighbourhood haa given him, and treats briefly and lucidly of it» natural r>T»nt»S-. possibilities, ?,T,nS- mnch Farr T S emigrant. According to Mr ho]6s special in- *n resipect of wages and general P pects of work, as it is in the heart of e lumbering district of the upper Ottawa. Moreover he has arranged with the Com- missioner of Crown Lands for Ontario, that in the event of any number of people coin- ing out from England to this new district, the Government will spend a c-onsidera-ble sum of money in making new roads where they are located. The value of the informa- tion in this little book will be fully under- stood when it is stated that an influx of se-ttlers from England would be no benefit to Mr Farr, but that he simply wishes his fellow-countrymen to have the first chance. This little pamphlet may be had free from the Allan Steamboat Co. In conclusion. Mr Farr offers to reply by letter to any questions which cannot be adequately treated in so small a work.
