LIBRAhr COMMITTEE'S DILEMMA.
LIBRAhr COMMITTEE'S DILEMMA. The Llandudno Carnegie library and newsroom has been completed and partially opened. But the Library Com- mittee find themselves in a dilemma. A thousand pounds odd has to be found to pay the mortgage and other liabilities which encumbered the old institution, but subject to that pay- ment Lord Mostyn has presented the freehold site to the town to enable the local authority to take advantage of Mr Carnegie's offer. As soon as cer- tain property which Mr John Walker presented to Llandudno is realised, the liabilities referred to will be discharged, and it is just possiple that there will still remain a small balance to the credit of the Council. But it is one thing to obtain a building, and quite another to furnish and equip it. An appeal was .made to Mr Carnegie for a contribution towards furnishing it, but without avail. The increment of a denny rate may be sufficient to main- tain the library and newsroom in a modest way, but if the management are to adopt a policy of efficiency and purchase a fairly good number of new books yearly, and provide the latest reference books for the convenience of the public, their financial resources will be totally inadequate. Neverthe- less, such a policy must be adopted if the institution is to achieve its real purpose; and a selection committee of book experts should be appointed to carry out that particular work in an effective manner. Ways and means should be found to augment the incre- ment of a penny rate. It is already done in the case of the North Wales Advertising Board and the Town Im- provement Association. If it is justi- fiable in those two cases why should it not be justifiable in the case of the library and newsroom ? This, no doubt, is a matter which will be fully dis- cussed in due course, and some effec- tive arrangement arrived at. But the most immediate and important ques- tion is the furnishing of the building in a manner that will do credit to Llandudno. The local authority can- not apply any money from the rates for the purpose. Consequently, they rely entirely upon the generosity and liberality of the public to subscribe the necessary capital. An appeal has been issued by the Chairman of the Coun- cil for subscriptions, but the response, so far, has been somewhat disappoint- ing. We hope, for the sake of the dignity of the town, that the necessary amount will be forthcoming without undue delay. It is obviously the duty of those who supported the erection of the library on the existing site to come forward and lend financial assist- ance to the committee, and thereby relieve them of much trouble and anxiety. We would, also, appeal to others, who advocated other sites, to forget their differences, and unite in making the Carnegie Free Library an —————- institution of practical utility both tOP residents and visitors. Let it be made a medium for elevating the educational tastes of the public, and inculcating in them a desire to read good and sound literature, and not the trash which is so much sought for in these days.

CANADIAN NEWS. It is generally believed that the gr03^ clay belt in Northern Ontario covering thirty million acres o(f land is destined become the home of millions of prosper0"3^ settlers. A demonstration farm has formed in that region by the Ontario Gove?^ smeiit with a view of testing the capability of the soil and climate. The first cro(p be grown on the farm was planted this y03^ and the result is being watched with interest by settlers and others, as a nurnlkf of varieties of the different kinds of graL are being grown with a view to ting those most suited to that part of -n tario. At present there is every indica^. that any of the varieties grown in Scmth Ontario can be successfully grown in of the Province.

AGRICULTURE IN COUNTY SCHOOLS
AGRICULTURE IN COUNTY SCHOOLS We have been privileged to peruse the proposed amended scheme of Secondary Education in Denbighshire, and our assertion in last week's Herald that the status of the Aber- gele County School will not be detri- mentally affected, should the scheme be confirmed, is fully borne out. According to the present proposal it will, in the future, as we stated, have a definite rural and agricultural bias, otherwise there will be little, if any difference, in the curriculum. In addi- tion to providing a course of instruc- tion specially suited to meet the needs of the rural districts, it is intended that the following special provisions shall also apply thereto :— The course of instruction shall include English, Welsh, French (or German), mathematics, history, geo- graphy, drawing, nature study, ::= I science, physical training, handi- craft, and domestic science." It is proposed that the school shall provide for the Abergele Urban and Rural area, Bettws, Llanddulas, Llanfair, and St. George. But the parishes of Llandrillo-yn-Rhos, Llan- elian, and Eirias, which, at the present I moment, is included in the Abergele County School district, will be set aside I to feed the proposed Colwyn Bay Coun- ty School. We readily admit that the Abergele School is likely to suffer financially, for a short period, but it will be only temporary. The proba- bility is that the number of scholars which will attends the school for a course of agricultural instruction will, at least, be equivalent to the number which now attend from the Colwyn Bay area. According to the result of the entrance scholarship examination, scholars from the Colwyn Bay district have swept the board. With a County School established at Colwyn Bay those scholarships would be available for children residing in the immediate district of Abergele and adjoining parishes. Moreover, the governors of the school could husband their financial resources, and make better use of the money than in paying the railway fares of pupils from Colwyn Bay and dis- trict. We believe in bursaries to enable the children of poor parents to obtain better educational facilities; but it is the height of absurdity, and an action which was never intended by the legislature although legalised under the Denbighshire Intermediate Education Scheme, to pay the railway fares, in a most indiscriminate fashion, of all pupils from Colwyn Bay and district," irrespective of the financial position of their parents. It is nothing less than frittering away public money in a manner that cannot be justified. However, whatever loss may tempor- arily accrue to the Abergele School in consequence of the establishment of an additional County School in the county, the new scheme proposes that the County Council shall have power to provide out of the General Fund scholarships, or exhibitions, tenable at Abergele County School for pupils from all parts of the county, desiring to specialise in rural and agricultural education." As if that was not sum- cient to supply the school with an ample number of scholars, authority is proposed to be given to the County Council to co-operate with the Coun- cils of neighbouring counties in making the Abergele County School a centre of rural and agricultural education for such counties." And we also observe that the scheme does not affect pre- judicially the status of the emoluments of the present Headmaster." Instead of being degraded, as alleged by one or two speakers at a meeting of the Coun- ty Council the other day, the future importance of the Abergele County School is enhanced under the pro- posed scheme and it is, we think, the most central and convenient school, in Denbighshire, to make the experiment. The time has come when a strong agricultural bias should be given to some of our County Schools. And if people are to be kept on the land, they should be equipped with sufficient training in agricultural science as to enable them to make a good living, and to make farming a remunerative occupation.

POTATO GROWING. We would call attention to the fact that the Board of Agriculture and Fisheries desire to remind growers of potatoes that it is their duty under the Destructive Insects and Pests Order of 1910, to report to the Board all outbreaks of wart disease, otherwise known as olack scab of potatoes, cauli" flower disease, fungus," etc., in coun- ties where no officer has, as yet, been appointed by the local authority to re- ceive such reports. Farmers, no doubt, will realise the importance of acceding to the request of the Board of Agri- culture and Fisheries so as to enable them to adopt effective measures with a view to preventing, so far as is possible, a recurrence of the disease next year. Such a course cannot be achieved except by the hearty and loyal co-operation of potato growers. The Board of Agriculture emphasise the fact that the presence of disease should be again reported this year, notwithstanding that it may have ex- isted and been reported last year, and they further remind those interested that the penalty for neglecting to re- port such a disease is £10. Potato growers cannot plead ignorance as to the character of the disease, for the Board is prepared to forward a leaflet describing its nature on application being made to the Secretary, Board of Agriculture and Fisheries, 4, White- hall Place, London. Letters so addressed need not be stamped. ———— t
