COUNTY COUNCIL ELECTION | NOTES. I THE RADICALS' LAST WORD.—THE RHYL INTERMEDIATE SCHOOL.-IS IT THE WORST IN THE COUNTY ? THE HEAD MASTER ON THE DEFENSIVE. The County Council Election is past, and so far as Rhyl is concerned the result is pretty well as most people expected, although no one thought for a moment that the majorities secured by the two successful candidates would have been so large as the ballot showed them to be. That the election in the West Ward has proved that the ratepayers there refuse to be tied to a party nominee there can be no doubt, and the triumphant return of Mr F. J. Gamlin as an Independent Member is a further proof that the fetters of the Rhyl Radical Club are being broken assunder. We fully expected that there would be a change in the County Council representation from Rhyl this year, and were the wire-pullers of the Liberal Party to tell the truth they would confess to the same thing. Mr W. Elwy Williams was led to believe that the Rhyl Radical Club still exer- cised sufficient control over the electorate of Rhyl to return whom they selected, although we endeavoured to show him that he was resting on a forlorn hope. For the first time in nine years an independent representative has been returned to the County Council from Rhyl, but it will not be the last. Had it not been for the strong personality of Mr S. Perks and Mr R. Llew. Jones the other wards in this town would have Independent members sitting at the County Council. Had a stranger dropped casually into the Town Hall on Friday evening last he would have gone away thoroughly con- vinced that the candidates opposing Messrs W. Elwy Williams and R. Llewelyn Jones were fighting a hopeless battle. The Liberal whip had been applied with no sparing hand, and we could imagine that every man, woman, and child whom the Clubites could influence had been brought into the meeting. The enthu- siasm which prevailed for Mr W. Elwy Williams was astonishingly hot when one com- pares it with the result of the poll on Saturday. But then, the voting was by ballot, and the eyes of the Liberal wire-pullers were not on the voters, as they were at the meeting. Mr Perks took the chair, and he told those present what the two candidates had done during the years they had served Rhyl on the County Council, and how they had been honoured by being elected to important com- mittees. It would, he said, be base ingrati- tude to refuse to re-elect both for another term of three years. He had heard no good reason why they should not return Messrs Elwy Williams and Llewelyn Jones once more. Mr Thomas Whitley proposed the resolution of confidence, and bearing in mind the rumour that he is a candidate for a seat on the Urban District Council at the forthcoming election he was particularly brief. Not so 'Mr Jos. Williams (Gas), who seconded the resolution. The gentleman gave the electors many reasons why they should elect Mr W. Elwy Williams, the first one being that he bore the same name as the speaker. Of course he gave other reasons, but he did not dwell so much upon them. He also put in a good word for Mr Llewelyn Jones. Mr S. Perks then said he had pleasure in calling upon Mr W. A. Lewis, the headmaster of the Rhyl Intermediate School, to say a few words to the meeting concerning what Mr Gamlin had stated in a pamphlet issued that day. From what Mr Lewis would say the electors would be able to judge how far Mr Gamlin's statements were correct. Mr Lewis said he had not come to that meeting for the purpose of supporting any candidate. He was simply there to defend the Intermediate School. A pamphlet had been issued by Mr Gamlin in which an attack was made on the school, because Mr W. Elwy Williams happened to be one of the governors. That pamphlet dealt with the internal working of the school, for which he (Mr Lewis) alone was responsible. The pamphlet was therefore a cowardly attack on him. Mr Gamlin said that an annual report should be sent to the parents. As a matter of fact the parents received three reports in the year, and he ven- tured to think that the parents of the children attending the Rhyl School took an interest in their welfare, and that they would ask for reports. Mr Gamlin had gone on to say that the reports sent out recently were marked Private and Confidential." In reply to that he desired to say that the only report he had seen so marked was the one sent by the Cen- tral Welsh Board to the County Governivg Body. What that had to do with the Rhyl School he failed to see, and as it was private and confidential he could not refer to it. At the same time he would ask how Mr Gamlin had seen it if it was so marked, seeing that he was not a member of the County Governing body. As it was marked "private" he presumed that he could not quote it there, but to say that the Rhyl School was the worst in the County of Flint was a charge against the teaching staff, and not against the gover- nors, who had nothing to do with the subjects taught in the school, but with the general requirements only. He knew from the infor- mation he had received that the Rhyl School was not below the average of the Intermediate Schools in Wales, that was about as much as could be expected from a school which had only been at work nine months. Last Christmas the Rhyl School sent up four candidates for a public examination, with the result that three passed, two with honours. No other county school in Flintshire had done that, and no one else had sent up any candidates for examina- tion. Mr W. Elwy Williams thanked Mr Lewis for having come to that meeting, and more so because he said he had not come there to sup- port any candidate, but to defend the school. The explanation was clear enough, and the electors could judge of the truth of Mr Gam- lin's statement. Had Mr Gamlin and others who had promised subscriptions kept their word the Intermediate School would have been erected long ago, but Mr Gamlin had with- drawn his subscription, and written to the public Press, and tried to prejudice others against the school. He (Mr Elwy Williams) on the other hand promised a subscription and had paid it into the bank eight years ago, where it had been ever since at compound interest. Mr Gamlin had tried to put a damper on Intermediate Education in Rhyl by saying that the churchpeople were not proportionally represented on the Local Governing Body. Mr Gamlin forgot that the Vicar of Rhyl was chairman of the Board of Governors, and he believed that the Vicar of Rhyl would never give his support to a pam- phlet such as Mr Gamlin had issued. Mr Elwy Williams then went on to speak of his opponent, and compared his own qualifi- cation with those of Mr Gamlin, who, of course, in the argument came off second-best (although lie altered matters a little the next day). Mr Williams made a strong point of the fact that he had been 30 years in Rhyl, and said he con- sidered tfiat the best way anyone could help the town was by building houses so as to increase its rateable value. That was a splendid argument in favour of the return of Mr Greenhalgh, but the speaker did not see it. Only once did he refer to what he had done on the County Council, and he did so in speaking of a reference which had been made in the Journal," the article in which respecting the main roads he said he believed to be inspired. He did not answer our argument that the County Council should be more just to Rhyl by taking over Wellington-road as a main thoroughfare, and by paying for the repair in full of Vale- road. All Mr Williams did was to take credit for having mained Vale-road (for which the Rhyl ratepayers are much obliged), and to tell Mr Gamlin that if he wanted Wellington-road declared a main road he should secure a seat on the Rhyl Urban District Council, and from that position advocate it. With all due respect to Mr Williams we say that the County 1 Council Chamber is the best place to speak cf the claims of Rhyl, and we hope that Mr Gamlin will do so now that he has his passport to that room, although Mr Herbert Lewis has declared that the County Council will not main any more roads without considering the quest- tion of unmaining many. We are not afraid of the question being discussed, as Rhyl cannot lose anything thereby, all her represen- tatives have been able to do in nine years is to get a per centage of the cost of repairing Vale- road. That would not be much to lose. Notwithstanding the fact that Mr Gamlin had declared that he was not standing as a party man, Mr Williams said that his opponent was a Tory, who was disgusted with his own party, and lie (Mr Williams) hoped that that party would in turn be disgusted with Mr Gamlin on Saturday. Mr Williams, had said in his address never mind the question of creed, &c," but he told the assembled audience that he was a Liberal, that he was fighting the party's battle, and that he loved the Liberal party. He was desirous of representing the people direct, and not through the office of Alderman, which, however, had to be filled by someone in accordance with the law. Mr Llewelyn Jones made a speech more in support of the candidature of Mr W. Elwy Williams than on his own behalf, although he criticised Mr Green halgh's address, and con- demned the practice of candidates issuing circulars at the last moment when there was no time to reply to them. Of course holding meetings at the last moment, which could not be replied to is quite a different thing We hope that Mr R. Llewelyn Jones' good counsel will prevail in the future with his party, who are responsible for the starting of the practice which lie so strongly condemned as an in- dividual. It is to Mr Jones' credit that he did not follow the lead set by the Liberal Clubites at the last election. Mr Herbert Lewis, M.P., referred to the incident which had brought forth the explan- ation from Mr W. A. Lewis. He said lit was true that the Central Welsh Board had issued a report which was marked private and con- fidential." The explanation was simple and he believed satisfactory. All repor's had to go to the Charity Commissioners, who dealt with them, and it was contrary to the rule of public offices, and to etiquette that they should appear in newspapers until after the Charity Commissioners had received them. At the last meeting of the Central Welsh Board he had advocated the publication of the report at the earliest possible moment. Mr Lewis then made a grand speech in support of the candidature of Mr W. Elwy Williams. His remarks were so impressive, and he spoke so feelingly of that gentleman's work on the County Council, that Mr Williams was moved to tears. If anything could have secured the seat for the retiring member it would have been the speech of Mr Herbert Lewis. Mr Ellis Jones Griffith, M.P., followed, but he did very little good for the candidates, as he spoke about the West Promenade extension having nothing to do with the election It was the very subject the other speakers, who had some local knowledge, carefully avoided. The meeting was closed with the passing of the usual stock resolution, in favour of which suf- ficient hands were held up to have given each candidate 200 majority. Mr Gamlin Returns to the Charge.- Startling Allegations. TO THE EDITOR OF THE RHYL JOURNAL. SIR --On the 4th inst. I sent out a circular to the electors of the West Ward, in which I made a grave statement, viz., "THAT THE RH1:L INTERMEDIATE SCHOOL WAS THE WORST IN THE WHOLE OF FLINTSHIRB," and I attri- buted this to the utter incapacity of some of the Local Governors of forming an opinion upon educational matters, and I asked the electors to reject one of them, who was offering his services again as a candidate for County Council honours in the West Ward. They have done so most decisively. My circular evidently caused a considerable flutter in the Local Governors' dovecote, and on the same night that my pamphlet was circulated, a meeting was held at the Town Hall at which Mr Samuel Perks referred to the pamphlet, and said "From what Mr Lewis would say the electors would be able to judge how far Mr Gamlin's statements were correct." Mr W A Lewis (the headmaster of the school) charactized it as a cowardly attack upon him, as he alone was responsible for the internal working of the School. Very well, let him bear the odium if he wishes it, but I would prefer fixing it upon the Governors. I do not fish to cast any reflection upon Mr Lewis, and am sorry that he should treat my pamphlet as personal to him. It was not intended as such, and there is no reason why he should take upon himself the charges I have made. But this is a side issue, and I decline to enter into a controversy with Mr Lewis. What I have to prove is that the charge in my pamphlet that the Rhyl Inter- mediate School is the worst in the whole of Flintshire is true. I will prove it to the hilt, and in the words of Mr Perks "the electors can judge how far my statements are correct." There are five County (or Intermediate) Schools in the County of Flint, viz. :—Holy- well, St Asaph, Mold, Hawarden, and Rhyl. According to the way the schools pass, the examination merit-marks are graduated. Thus, the best mark attainable is "excellent"; next, "very good"; next, "good"; next, "very fair"; next "fair"; next "indifferent"; and last, "weak." Below I show in a tabulated form the different schools, and what the exami- ner thought of each. The figures indicate the subjects for which the" excellent" or other marks were earned Holywell. St Asaph. Mold. Hawarden. Rhyl. Excellent 2 2 Very good. 5 2 Good 3 2 5 4 Very fair 3 5 7 3 9 Fair 4 4 3 Indifferent. 1 1 2 5 Weak 1 1 It will thus be seen that in no single subject did the Rhyl school gain the "excellent," the very good," or even the good mark. It perhaps should be explained that some schools take some subjects, and others other subjects, but ALL the schools took 10 subjects, viz. :—(1) English Grammar, (2) Composition, (3) History, (4) Geography, (5) Scripture, (6) Arithmetic, (7) Algebra, (8) Euclid, (9) Latin, (10) French, and below I set out how the Rhyl school has come out in comparison with the other schools in these 10 subjects taken by each:— Holywell. Mold. Hawarden. St Asaph. Rhyl. Excellent 2 — — — Very good. 4 2 — — — Good 2 3 4 2 — Very fair 2 5 2 4 6 Fair 4 3 1 Indifferent.. — — 1 3 & It might be said that one inspector might re- quire a higher standard of knowledge to earn the "excellent or other mark (as the case might be) than another inspector, but the Holywell school (the best) and the Rhyl school (the worst) were examined by the same inspector (Mr Headlam). Then as a last excuse, in order to shield the Governors from the justifiable attack I made upon some of them, Mr Lewis pleaded at the meeting that what the Rhyl school had done "was about as much as could be expected from a school which had only been at work nine months." This was naturally applauded by the orators on the platform, and the minor satellites in the body of the hall gave expression to their disgust at my conduct in making 11 such un- founded charges "I by loud utterances of the word "Shame." I ask you, Sir, and particu- larly your readers in the West Ward, to care- fully compare the last table given above, and notice the schools of Holywell (the best) and ) Rhyl (the worst). I And now for another comparison. From the i Report marked "conifdential," the Holywell school was opened in September, 1896, and the Rhyl school was opened in the same month. The Holywell school was examined on the 13th July, 1897, and the Rhyl school the very next day. Then where does the difference come in ? Comment is needless In addition to the foregoing, boys are mentioned in the report for special work in the higher papers. They come out as follows Mold 89 boys in an aggregate of 13 subjects Hawltrdcn 12 3 St Asaph. 2 5 JJ Holywell 2 11 11 2" Rhyl 1 boy in 1 subject. I leave you, Sir, and my constituents in the West Ward, to judge now "how far my state- ments are correct."—I am, Sir, Your obedient servant, F. J. GAMLIN. Rhyl, March 8, 1898.
