Bangor Cathedral Organist. UNANIMOUS SELECTION OF DR. ROLAND ROGERS. The post of organist of Bangor Cathedral, vacant by the resignation of Mr. Westlake Mor- gan, was filled on Monday afternoon by the Dean and Chapter by the appointment of Dr. Roland Rogers, Bangor, who once formerly held the post, sucoeeding the late Dr. Pring. Dr. Rogers resigned about fifteen years ago. Dr. Rogers is an accomplished musician and com- poser, his services at recitals being in much re- quest. The appointment, which is bound to be a most popular one, was absolutely unanimous. There were 204 applications received. This number was first reduced to 103, and finally to six. Over the merits of these six the Dean and Chapter spent two and half hours on Monday afternoon before coming to their final unanimous decision.

North Wales Teachers. DISCUSSION OF GRIEVANCES. A joint meeting of the Anglesey and Menai Bridge Associations was held at Bethesda on Saturday, Mr Brock, President of the Menai Association, presiding over an unusually large attendance. It was unanimously decided, in view of the coming election of the executive of the N.U.T., that the Denbighshire Association be requested to take the initiative in arranging for a test ballot of North Wales teachers in order to secure a candidate for North Wales. A further resolution expressed the desire of the joint meeting that the members of both Associa- tions should support the movement for the pres- entation of a testimonial to Mr Tom John. Attention was called to the NEW SCALE OF SALARIES for Carnarvonshire, and it was decided to con- vene a meeting of the Carnarvonshire teachers to consider that scale, which is regarded as unjust to some classes of teachers. It was stated that it was understood that a meeting of the teachers of non-provided schools will also be held at Carnarvon next Saturday to consider their at- titude in the present crisis, the Education Com- mittee proposing to deduct a proportion of their salaries in accordance with the West Riding decision, the teachers feeling that the managers, who claim to be their friends, should come to their assistance. In all probability, a prominent teacher remarked after the meeting, the teachers are likely to make a stand against the EVENING SCHOOLS movement. The Education Committee two years ago established evening schools, which were very successful, but which were greatly interfered with by the Revival. Last year the Committee reduced the rate of salaries, and the teachers struck, with the result that only two schools were held throughout the county. This year the Com- mittee propose to establish evening schools again, and are advertising for teachers at the reduced rate of payment. This is resented by the teachers, and the probability is that no schools will be opened. The Voluntary school teachers feel themselves to be in a very anomalous position. On the one hand they are told that they will not be paid if they impart religious instruction while, on the other hand, the law says that if they do not, their managers have the right to dismiss them, and thus they are made the bone of con- tending parties.

Magistrate's Marriage. At the Aber Calvinistic Methodist Chapel, for which a license for the solemnisation of marri- ages had been obtained in order that the cere- mony might take place there, Mr. John Evan Roberts, of Bangor, was on Thursday united to Miss Grace Roberts, of Rochester, U.S.A. The wedding was a quiet one. Mr. Evan Roberts is a justice of the peace for Carnarvonshire, and ex-Chairman of the County Council, and an Alderman and ex-Mayor of Bangor. His bride formerly resided at the Treborth Farm, near Bangor, and is, a cousin of Mr. Thomas Roberts, the well-known agriculturist of Aber. The offi. ciating minister was the Rev. John Hughes, of Edeyrn.

AN INTERESTING REPORT. This very interesting document wasasfol. lows: The Conference, which was held at Black- pool, was an unqualified success in point of at- tendance-over 300 delegates present. Papers were read and visits were made to public works. The papers submitted combined the practical and the theoretical, and were well received and discussed. Sir James Crichton Browne, J.P., M.D., LL.D., F.R.S., President of the Association, pre- sided over the meetings, and delivered an ad- dress on "The Gospel of Recreation." He drew attention, to the mortality among infants under one year of age-being in 1904 at the rate of 145 per 1,000 births. This huge loss was largely due to diseases which were: not beyond sanitary con- trol, and additional precautionary measures should be adopted to rescue the infants. The places shewing an increase in the birth-rate were the large industrial centres. Figures relat- ing to the city of London shewed a close rela- tionship between undesirable social conditions and a high birth rate. He strongly urged the appointment of Female Health Visitors to teach the women of these classes how to feed their off. spring how to wash and tend them and how to minister to their ailments. The increase of the mortalitv from canicer was to be deplored. Upwards of 30,000 deaths, were recorded annu- ally. It seemedi tolerably certain that the con- ditions of prosperity and culture, those condi- tions which, lead to a low birth rate," oonducedi to a high cancer rate. HOLIDAYS. The holiday was said to be a modern inven- tion, and the deliberate pursuit of health by young people, a recent innovation. Fatigue and! over-fatigue was one of the great dangers of our day. It was not disputed that the pace of work of all kinds. in. this country had quickened in recent times, and existence of scores of health and holiday resorits- was sufficient evidence of the need) of workers for rest and change. The cumulative effects of fatigue were most pernici- ous to health. The tissue that was now and then over stretched; recovered its elasticity, but the tissue that was so very frequently, became per- manently damaged, and remained susceptible to other injurious influences. The pressure of labour had been transferred from the muscles to the nervous system. The work was fatiguing out of all proportion to its value in foot-pounds and tended towards auto- matism. Hence the call for recreation. The sovereign remedy for fatigue was repose, and stimulus was necessary for the brain as well as rest. We wanted amusement as well as slum- ber, we mut have the exercise of faculties that were not involved in our ordinary employment, and so daily recreation was demanded. SANITARY LEGISLATION. Mr. T. Loftos, Town Clerk, Blackpool, read a paper on "Local Sanitary Legislation." He re- ferred to many of the powers obtained by Black- pool to keep abreast of the times as a holiday resort, such as the regulation of the foreshore, the prohibition against slaughtering ani- malts in other than Corporation slaugh- ter-houses, the electric lighting order, obtained in 1879, the cleansing of water courses, the efficient supervision by the keeper in common lodging-houses, the dairies and cowsheds Order, the manufacture and sale of ice cream, the opening of cases, &c., of pro- visions suspected to be unsound, the approval of temporary and moveable buildings before erec- tion, and in 1902 a sea-water supply for public and private uses. SANITARY ADMINISTRATION. Dr. Coutts, Medical Officer of Health, Black- pool, submitted a paper on "Local Sanitary Ad- ministration." He. remarked that at the census of 1801 there were in Blackpool only 473 inhabi- tants fifty years later there were 3,000; to-d'ay Blackpool was, a county borough, with a popula- tion of nearly 60,000, and a rateable value of close on ^500,000. Most of the uiidettakings concerned with the health of the town were own- ed by the Corporation—gas works, electric light- ing and tramways, refuse destructor, abattoirs, cemetery, markets, foreshore rights and sea waiter works. They had provided public libra- ries, a gymnasium, secondary school with provi- sion for technical education, infectious diseases hospital, mortuary and a meteorological observa- tory. They were members of the Fylde Water Board, which comprised several local authori- ties, and were also members of the Fylde Joint Smallpox Hospital Board. The sewage of the district was discharged into the sea, untreated. They gave special attention to the cleansing of streets and removal of refuse in addition to other routine work and engaged a large staff for the different duties. Their method of keeping re- cords was the card system. An address by Mr. W. W. West, Walthamstow, was entitled "ARE WE MISTAKEN?" He asked were we giving too much attention nowadays to the seed of disease, and not suffi- cient to the soil. Cleanliness was the teaching of the pioneers of sanitation, and in this direc- tion the work of sanitary inspectors lay. Their energies were directed to the condition of the soil, that it should be barren andl not productive when the seed of disease gained entrance, to it. To this end preventative measures should be ap- plied to prevent the spread of disease, and avoid the more: costly measures associated with epi- demics. NOISE. Dr. Theo B. Hyslop, Senior Physician to the Royal Hospital of Bridewell and BetHem, Lon- don, read a paper on "Noise in its Sanitary As- pect." The sense of hearing, he said, had throughout the animal kingdom developed in varying degrees. In some industries where ex- cessive noise caused deafness, this deafness was Nature's protection against encroachment of the brain tracts. Except in a few instances our brains were always exposed to the noises around us. The first two or three hours of sleep were the most important for braini rest and repair. Those who slept longest were by no means the most refreshed, and quality not quantity was the value of sleep. The actual number of hours of unconsciousness during sleep was of little im- portance in comparison with the number of hours of brain rest. The brain of a sleeper was sensitive to every noise, even though the noise did not wake him. Insomnia for a period longer than four weeks terminated in mental and phy- sical death. The causes of insomnia were to be found in those factors which prevented rest, and town life, under existing conditions, precluded the possibility of obtaining adequate brain rest. The influenc of noise upon infant mortality was more serious than was recognised. Infants whose growth had been arrested by their proximity to noisy thoroughfares, had recovered upon removal to quieter localities. In connection with in- sanity, the largest proportion of persons afflicted, and the most difficult to cure were those with auditory perversions. Legislation was required giving powers to the sanitary authorities to cope with street noises, the use of horns, whistles, &c., the proper paving of thoroughfares to encourage the use of rubber tyres supervision and control of heavy vehicles, and the heavy noisy traffic during the hours of 11 p.m. and 5 a.m. BUTTER SUBSTITUTES. Dr. E. W. Hope, Medical Officer of Health, Liverpool, submitted a paper on "Supervision of Butter and Butter Subsitutes." He estimated the oonsumption, of butter, in Liverpool, at about 5,000 tons annually. It was one of the most important articles of food, one of the easi- est to adulterate, and it was very difficult to die- tect some of the forms: of adulteration. He advis- ed legislation on the "Recommendations of the Select Committee on Butter," to provide. for the registration of premises, and inspection during manufacture of blended- butter; that butter should not contain more than 16 per cent. of moisture; that margelrin6 should be sufficiently labelled, and that no other fancy name for same be allowed; and that inspectors should have power to enter butter factories, and inspect any process, and take samples. Mr. Robert Lindsay, Sanitary Inspector, Edin- burgh, read a paper on "Security of Tenure in Scotland," and Mr. Jas. McPhail, M.R.C.V.S., Food Inspector, Hull, read one on "Food Inspec- tion." The latter emphasised the need for clos- er inspection of animals slaughtered for meat for human consumption, and described many of the signs, in diseased animals, and conditions to be looked for in unsound tinned meats. Mr. Wm. Stansfield, Sanitary Inspector, Man- chester, read a paper on "The Conservancy Sys- tem." He considered the question ia relation to cost, and stated it was much more costly than the water-carriage system, more unhealthy that it was objectionable, and that it was an ana- chronism. There was little to choose between privies and pail closets. They were the nurseries and hotbeds of epidemic disease. A marked and definite improvement in the public health result- ed when a district abolished; them and substi. tuted water-closets. Visits to public works included the Isolation Hospital, refuse destructor, and abattoirs. Ex. cursions were arranged for visits to Fleetwood, Windermere and the Cottage Exhibition, Cleve- leys. The Bishop of Manchester preached the Conference Sermon, on Sunday morning, at St. John's Church. Mr. Hughes was suitably thanked for prepar- ing this highly interesting and instructive ac- count.
