Cuests and Callers." The Master reported that the inmates that day numbered 147, a decrease of G compared with the corresponding total last year. During the past fortnight 171 vagrants had been relieved, a decrease of 45. The New Infirmary. It was reported that the cost of furnishing the new infirmary had totalled £378, which was £ 22 less than the estimate. The Guardians pleased. A young man appeared before the Board and asked that he might be allowed to take his mother and two sisters out of the house. They were forced to seek the shelter of the house because he fell out of work for a long time. but now that he had found a job he desired to restart the home which had been compulsorily broken up. He asked for no allowance in the way of out-relief for his mother, but, as he was only a labourer, would be obliged if the Board would allow the two sisters—both young girls-something. One guardian ;appeared disposed to doubt the applicant's motives, when Mr John Roberts (Abergele) thought that far from doubting the young man they ought to be gratefult to him and admire his pluck and kindness in desiring to give his mother and sisters a home instead of leaving them in the Workhouse and spending the money on himself, as so many young men they had to deal with preferred to do. The Master said the applicant was a young man of exemplary character and steady habits. All the time his mother and sisters had been in the house he had never missed calling to see them once a week, and every time he brought them some little luxury. He (the speaker) had never met the like of him all the years he had been connected with the house. but then on the other hand, it was painfully often the case that once a mother got into the house, her children never took the trouble to come to see her (shame). The Chairman said they had better be generous to a man of this sort, for he deserved encouraging and helping all they could. Ic was decided to allow 5s a week to the two young girls, and to let the son take his mother and them from the house, the Chair- man expressing to the applicant the Board's appreciation of his thoughtfulness. Concerning Portraits. The Board decided to accept with many than its a framed portrait of the late Mr R Llewelyn Jones—who was for many years Chairman of the Board--which Mrs Jones offered them as a gift. The Chairman suggested that if possible, they should procure portraits of all the Chairmen of the Board from its institution in 18 3,-). lie believed that Lord Mostyn was the first chairman, and that afcer him came Captain Thomas, Mr p p Pennant, Mr Mr Wynne Dixon, and Mr Edwin Morgan. It was decided to act on the Chairman's suggestion, and Mr Williams (Abergele) said he had an engraving of the lirst Chairman (Lord Mcsfcyn), which he should be pleased to present to them. It would be far more fitting hung on the walls of the Board Room than it was on the walls of his bumble itting room. The Board also decided to hang a portrait of the late Sir Henry M Stanley, the famous explorer, who was at one time a boy in the Workhouse. Lightening the Load." Through the Chairman, Miss Brooke- Cunliffe and Miss Gladys jfHore asked the Guardians to allow them to extend the operations of the Brabazon Employment Society to the Workhouse. It was explained that the society was founded some 22 years ago, by the Countess of Meath (thea Lady Brabazon), and that there were now some 300 branches of it in the workhouses and hospitals of the land. Its object is to give an interest to the lives of that saddest of all sad classes-the non-able- bodied paupers—teaching them light and pretty employment without in any way interfering with the rules of the house and without any cost to the ratepayers, all the materials and the necessary instruction being provided free. It was unanimously decided to allow the two ladies in question to extend the operations of the Society in question to the St. Asaph Workhouse. Fires and Telephones. In accordance with notice of motion pre- viously given, Mr J Ellis Jones (Denbigh) moved that the Visiting Committee be asked to consider the advisability of having the residences of the Clerk and Medical Officer connected to the Workhouse by telephone. He instanced the value of the telephone in the cases of outbreaks of fire. A Guardian Would you send for the doctor to put it out (laughter). Mr Ellis Jones went on to argue that a telephone was indispensable in serious cases of sickness, and wondered how they had managed to do without one so long (hear, hear). Mr Edward Williams (Dyserth) seconded, but the proposition was rejected. The Vice-Chairman expressed his regret at the decision which had been arrived at. Mention had been made of fi res and he would like to ask whether the new hydrants had been fixed, and if not what was the cause of delay. If anything happened it would be a great slur on the Board. Mr Conwy Bell (Rhuddlan) said that two hydrants had been fixed and they were quite sufficient for the pressure of the water that they had got at the house. The Rhuddlan Fire Brigade had already tried the hydrants and they were quite willing to come again and make a general inspection as to the effi- cacy of the tire appliances, etc. He, too, was sorry at the decision come to respecting telephonic communication, for he had heard from the National Telephone Company that thev contemplated connecting UD St. AsaDh, and that they would include the Workhouse at a very cheap rate. The Board agreed to give both the Rhuddlan and Denbigh Fire Brigades per- mission to visit the Workhouse and inspect the fire appliances, and at the same time thanked them for their offer to do so. The Chairman thought the Board should lose no time in ascertaining whether there was sufficient pressure at the works or not to cope with a bad outbreak of fire. Mr Conwy Bell said that the pressure had been tested on three occasions and once it was very good and twice not quite so satis- factory. Something for "Punch." A letter was read from the Local Govern- ment Board, re the appointment of a pro- bationer at £ 12 a year to assist in the nursing in the new infirmary. The letter pointed out that whatever appointment was made must be reported to the Local Govern- ment Board in the usual way, and that Board suggested that the new official should be designated an assistant nurse and not a probationer. It was also to be borne in mind that Regulation 2 as to nurses in work- houses provided that uc person could be ap- pointed as nurse or assistant nurse who had not had previous practical experience in nursing. Mr John Roberts (Abergele) was speaking in Welsh against the suggestion of the Local Government Board that the extra official should be called an assistant nurse, when Mr Edward Williams, Dyserth, said that they were there to transact the business of the Board and not to listen to nonsense about the police force. The Clerk pointed out that whatever the assistant nurse was paid would be repaid by the Local Government Board. Mr J Ellis Jones (Denbigh) said it was absurd to think of getting an assistant nurse at E12 a year. The Board would be made the laughing stock of the whole country, if they tried to do so. The Vice-Chairman said he had had a chat with the present nurse and she told him she had not had a chance to get outside the Workhouse door for three weeks. She had been kept at her duties night and day, and it was physically impossible and grossly un- fair to expect a woman to go on working like that (hear, hear). It was decided to advertise at once for an assistant nurse at-as the Chairman put it- the princely salary of X12 a week." A Member—Why not make it 125. The Chairman—Because £ 12 was decided I upon at the last meeting. Let it go at that, and then Punch will take us off, as well as some of the other comic papers (laughter). A Member—And serve us right (hear, hear). el

The Late Mr. R. LI. Jones. UNVEILING OF A MEMORIAL PORTRAIT. MR. J. H. LEWIS, M.P., AND THE DUTY OF PUBLIC SERVICE. The Assembly Room of the Parliament of Flintshire, to use the words of one of Saturday's orators, is now adorned with a splendid portrait in oils of the late Mr R Llewelyn Jones, of Rhyl, whose strenuous and succesful career in the public service was so suddenly cut short less than a year ago. The portrait, which is the work of that eminent artist, Mr Leonard Hughes, of Dyserth, and is a lifelike repre- sentation of Mr Jones, is the outcome of a public subscription list whith was started a short time ago with the object of raising a memorial of the varied public services so readily and so well rendered by Mr Jones. The balance of the fund is to be devoted to the founding of memorial scholarships. Mr Jones, it will be remembered, was one of the earliest members of the Flint County Council. He was chairman of the County Police Committee for a considerable period, and was the first chairman of the County Education Committee. These and other important offices, including the chairmanship of the St Asaph Board of Guardians, he discharged with a thoroughness that commanded universal admiration. The ceremony of unveiling the portrait took place in the County Council Chamber, Mold, on Saturday, in the presence of a most repre- sentative company, including strong contingents from Rhyl, Prestatyn, St. Asaph and Rhuddlan. Mr J W Summers, chairman of the County Council, presided, and in opening the proceed- ings he said that when the late Mr R Llewelyn Jones was stricken down so suddenly and taken from them It was felt throuahrvit the, noiinrv that they should have some memorial of him. The Committee decided that the most appropri- ate memorial would be to hang his portrait in the chamber. True it was that the whole of his public services were not rendered in the County Council of Flint, but it was felt that the services which he rendered to the County Council and as chairman of the Edu- cation Committee were of more far-reaching and more important than any duties which he was otherwise engaged in (hear, hear). There- fore it was thought that they could not do bet- ter than hang the portrait in that hall. Ho could say that the late Mr R Llewelyn Jones was a man of conspicuous ability and had the intuitive faculty of grasping the essential points as they arose. He had a great capacity for the work he undertook, and speaking for himself he (Mr Summers) could say that he found him a most loyal colleague (hear, hear). Mr R Llewelyn Jones was anxious always to do anything he could in every good cause (hear, hear). He had therefore great satisfaction in being there that day to take some share in what he considered to be a most appropriate memo- rial to him as a man, and in showing apprecia- tion in this way of the work the deceased gentleman undertook in the county of Flint. On behalf of the subscribers he asked Mr J Herbert Lewis to unveil the portrait of their late friend Mr R Llewelyn Jones (applause). Mr J H Lewis, M.P., having unveiled the portrait, said The task which you have entrusted to me is one that arouses many recol- lections of the late Mr Llewelyn Jones. On an occasion of this kind, all our memories of him must be tinged with a shade of melancholy, for there is always a measure of sadness in reviewing the work of a man who was cut down in his prime. When we reflect upon the rapidity with which he advanced during the last year or two of his life after his election as chairman of the Flintshire Education Com- mittee, we cannot help thinking of what such a man might have become, of all the useful service he might have rendered to his county and his country, had he been spared to carry on the great work which he had so successfully begun. Few who are not directly concerned in the actual administration of the Education Act can realise the enormous amount of detail work which that means. It was, and still remains, a task requiring infinite labour and unwearied patience. The commendation or the criticism of the platform, or of the arm- chair, is easy enough only those who have been engaged in it know how difficult is the work of constructive administration. As an administrator, Mr Jones had qualities of a very exceptional order, and. this memorial is a token of our admiration of those qualities, and of the regret that we feel at his early loss. He had three great qualities which carry a man far into every sphere of life—practical ability, incessant and unflagging industry, and great strength of purpose. He had another quality, without which the work he did in and out of this room would not have been accomplished, that public spirit which supplies constant relays of good and capable men, who give the best years of their lives to the service of the public, because it is laid upon their hearts and consciences to do it. In these days Wales needs more than fresh relays of workers to till gaps caused by death and retire- ment the constantly enlarging sphere of public work demands an ever-increasing number of single-minded workers for the public good. I believe they will be forthcoming. Our schools and colleges are yearly turning out thousands who owe a deep debt of gratitude to those who have laboured to provide for them a good edu- cation. This is an obligation which, as they advance in life, and as circumstances allow them to take their share of public service, they will feel it on their conscience to repay. The work is becoming so heavy that the time and resources of those engaged in it are being taxed to the uttermost, and if any echo of what I say here reaches the public outside, may I make an appeal on behalf of those who serve the com- munity. The public is continually becoming more exacting, its demands for service of all kinds—demands that are often prompted by the honour and the affection with which it regards its favourite servants-are becoming yearly more insistent, with the result that we see men whose energies have been exhausted in the public service removed by the hand of death long before their natural term of life. I can recall several instances of this in the case of personal friends of my own. I hope the public will re- member that physical endurance has its limits, that it may be possible to drive the willing horse too hard, and that the rest which a kind master gives to the willing horse is due from the public ty its willing servants. Perhaps, if Mr Llewelyn Jones had been able to rest more, he might have lived longer. But we are thank- I ful for what he was able to accomplish. His great work was done at a critical time in the his- tory of his country, a time of transition from the old order to the new in the sphere of education- Had he been spared, he would, I feel convinced, have taken an active and prominent part in that broader sphere of educational work upon which Wales is about to enter. But it is use- less to speculate on what might have been. We are thankful to-day for what he actually accomplished. We are assembled to show our admiration for the work of a capable adminis- trator and an eminent public man. We wish to show that such a man is not without honour in his own country, that his services are not quickly forgot ton, and that those who knew and valued his work are wishful to have some per- manent memorial of him. I hope this memorial, like that to Daniel Owen which stands outside this hall, will not only be a standing token of our gratitude, but will be an incentive and an inspiration to others to labour in the public service (applause). A vote of thanks to the Chairman and Mr Lewis—on the proposition of Mr T W Hughes, vice-chairman of the County Educa- tion Committee, seconded by Mr J W Jones, chairman of the Rhyl Urban District Council, both of whom spoke warmly of the late Mr Jones' work-terminated the ceremony.

Flintshire Education Offices. OPENING OF THE NEW BUILDINGS AT MOLD. DR MACNAMARA, M.P., ON THE EDUCATION QUESTION. The newly erected education offices for the county of Flint were formally opened on Saturday last. They have been erected at a cjst of £2,300, from the designs of the County Surveyor, Mr Samuel Evans, on a site contiguous to the County Buildings at Mold, and they contain suites of offices for the Secretary of the Education Committee, the Director of Education, and the County Surveyor. While attached to and forming part of the County Build- mgB, the new offices have a separate entrance in King Street. The building is of local stonework, with artistically arranged windows and a handsome canopied entrance. The styie of architecture is a free adaptation of the Renaissance. From the entrance there is a tine staircase leading to the Education Offices, the ground flior comprising the County Weights and Measures Department, stores for the ballot boxes and other materials used at election times, and a strong room ia which will be kopt the various documents relating to the schools of the county. On the first floor there is a fine hall flanked by well appointed suites of offices for the Secretary of the Education Committee, the Director of Education, and the County Surveyor, the offices being so arranged that the officials can pass from one department to the other without interfering with that portion of the building set apart for the public. Besides accommodation for small commit- tee meetings,ithere are ladies' retiring rooms, cloak rooms, lavatories, &c. The lighting arraugeineu ts are excellent, and the premises should serve their purpose admirably for many years to come. The builder was Mr T Roberts, Mold. Saturday's function attracted a numerous com- pany from all parts of the county. Prior to the formal opening of the new building by Mr J W Summers, chairman of the County Council, the circumstances of the occasion were explained at a gathering in the County Council Chamber. Mr J L Muspratt, chairman of the Education Committee, presided, and was supported by the High Sheriff of the county (Dr James Williams, of Lincoln College, Oxford), Dr Macnamara, M.P., Mr J Herbert Lewis, M.P., Mr T H W Idris M.P., Alderman H T Brown (chairman of Chester Educa- tion Committee), Mr and Mrs Summers, Mr W A Lewis, Mr C W Jones, Mr Bevan Evans (director of education), Mr S Evaas (county surveyor), Mr E S Taylor (vice-chairman of the County Council), Mr T W Hughes (vice-chairman of the Education Committee), Dr Humphrey Williams (Flint), Mr F Llewelyn Jones (secretary of education), Mr R Bromley (clerk of the peace), Mr L J Roberts, (his Majesty's inspector), Mr W Y Hargreaves, Mr T Parry (Mold), Mr J W Jones (chairman of Rhyl Urban District Council), Mr Thomas Jones (chairman of the Prestatyn Urban District Council), Mr John Hughes (town clerk of Prestatyn), Mr Isaac Batho, Mr Huph Edwards (tluwco Penmaen), Dr Easterby, Dr Wrr Thomas; Dr R Moreton Prichard, Mr J Roberts Jones (deputv coroner for Flintshire), M r J os,? l ¡;l\am'8 (Rhyl), Mr S Perks, Mr H P Williams, Mr P Mostyn Williams, Mr Godfrey Parry, Mr Geo Nuttall, Rev J Verrier Jones, Mr Goronwy 0 Jones, Mr Rt Jones (Pres- tatyn), &c., &c. u Mr E Sydney Taylor, as chairman of the Build- ings Committee, gave a short address emphasising the need for the new offices and the fact that the expenditure upon them had been kept within limits of the barest efficiency. The scheme had, he believed, been carried out in a most workmanlike manner, and they were much indebted to their officials for the assistance they had rendered in the matter. The County Surveyor had carried out his work in a clever and ingenious way, the builder bad done his part excellently, and the duties de- volving upon the Clerk, the Education Secretary, and the Director of Education had been discharged with an attention to detail that deserved every praise (applause). The Opening Ceremony. The County Surveyor (Mr S Evans) presented Mr Summers with a silver key, with which to open the new offices. In acknowledging the gift Mr Summers said he felt it to be a great honour and I privilege to take part in such a ceremony. He could confirm all that Mr Taylor had said with regard to the officials. The new offices would enable their officials to carry on their work, not only much more comfortably, but much moro effi- ciently than had been possible under the circum- stances of late (applause). Mr Summers then proceeded to formally open the new building. Afterwards there was an adjournment to the Town Hall. Here the Chairman (Mr Muspratt) said the importance and magnitude of the work which had to be performed in the new offices was shown by the fact that there were 17,100 children on the books of the elementary schools in theicounty, with 262 certified head teachers, 294 assistant teachers, and 111 pupil teachers. Besides those numbers, they had control of the secondary edu- catioa of the county, with a roll of 600 scholars, and a further staff of teachers. The amount of time required by the Education Committee to carry out their duties was indicated by the fact that in the year just concluding there had been 98 meetings of the Committee and sub-committees. He welcomed on the platform the new High Sheriff of Flintshire, a distinguished scholar at Oxford, who had done much in a special line of educational work. It was pleasing to see that the new High Sheriff's first official function in the year of his office should be of an eduational character (applause). To Dr Macnamara—(applause)— every lover of education owed a debt of gratitude. The Bishop of St Asaph was unable to be present owing to his having to attend a funeral, and Lord Kenyon also regretted his inability to attend, Dr TJ Macaamara, M.P., who met with a splendid reception, delivered an interesting address on "The Future of Welsh Education," at the out- set of which he was careful to state that he spoke simply for himself and involved nobody else. Welsh Enthusiasm for Education. In the course of a handsome tribute to Welsh enthusiasm and zeal for education, Dr Macnamara said it was popularly supposed that the Scotch were the most enthuaiastic for education in the United Kingdom. That was true, no doubt, so far as education paid for by the Imperial Exchequer was concerned but when it came to paying for education out of the pocket of the local ratepayer, Wales was an easy first (applause). After all, that was the best test of real enthusiasm. Take the money sent down from the Imperial Exchequer since 1890 under the Local Taxation Account. Scotland spent 30 per cent of her subvention in relief of rates; England 5 per cent; Wales every farthing upon education. Take the amount spent locally on education. In Fagland (excluding London,which was a very spesial case) the amount of rate spent in education was equal to 7d in the £ in Scotland 9 -3d -1 while in Wales it reached I I -;d. Look at it in another way. England spent 3s per head of her population on education Scotland 4s 10Ad Wales 5s 8id (applause). Then again, Welsh enthusiasm for higher educa- tion was quite remarkable. The Welsh Inter- mediate Education Act was only 16 years old and yet already Wales had a system of county and intermediate schools which even Scotland might be proud of, and that system was based democratically (applause). No fewer than 7,449 out of the total of 9284 pupils in these Welsh intermediate schools came direct from the elementary schools (applause). That was a very fine record and he (Dr Macnamara) doubted whether it could be excelled, even in the most educationally democratic countries of the world like Scotland, United States of America, and Switzerland. But this dependence of intermediate schools upon the elementary schools made it vital that they should promptly find a way |ont of the squabbles over elementary education in W alc8; made it vital that a truce of God should fall on belligerents, so that Welshmen might get on with the work so near and dear to their hearts (hear, hear). The Coming Amendment of the Act of 1902. Turning to this problem, Dr Macnamara first j discussed the question of the local machinery for the goverment of education. Personally he would have been glad to have gone buck to the ad hoc system such as still maintained in Scotland. But he did not think the Government would undertake such a revolution as that. What it mieht do was to permit a local authority to petition Parliament for a reversion to the ad hoc system;if it so desired to petition Parliament for a division of the larger areas; and to petition Parliament for authority to pay travelling expenses of members of education committees wherever distances were involved (applause). Dr Macnamara expressed himself as strongly in favour of securing a much larger proportion than at present of the cost of education from the Imperial Exchequer. He was in favour of retain- ing a margin of the cost as a local impost. For by this means alone could they secure economical ad- ministration and resist central bureaucratisation. As to the dual system of provided and non provided schools, he thought the coming Govern- ment Bill must entirely abrogate this system (applause). It must enact that all public elemen- tary schools should come entirely under the control of the local authority, at least so far as the secular teaching wis concerned, thus securing that all teachers and managers would be servants of the local authority, the teachers, of course, being immune from auything in the nature of a creed test (applause). Of course the local authority would have to pay an equitable rental for the use of the buildings. This would mean that all schools would become Cowper-Temple schools. People talked as if in a Cowper-Temple school the Bible would be thrust upon all, whether willing or un- willing. Nothing could be turther from the truth. In a Cowper-Temple schoool, that was to say in a Board school, it was entirely at the discretion of the local authority to say whether there would be any religious teaching or not. If there were, it must be strictly confined to simple Bible teaching and must not involve the teaching of any forinula. or dogma distinctive of any particular denomina- tion (applause). Further, the parent had full right on verbal demand to withdraw his child from that. He had the still further right on written request to keep his child away from school altogether during the scripture lesson, so that he might re- ceive religious teaching that would be more agree- able to him in some otner place. That system was acceptable to a vast majority of the parents and those religious fanatics who were bent on opposing it must keep before them the fact that their hos- tility would probably eni in driving religious teaching out of the shoots altogether (applause). It would, of course, be necessary to amplify this system by giving the local authority the right of granting "taciliLies" for specific denominational teaching outside time-table hours and under volun- tary auspices. A scheme ou thelle lines had again and again in Wales come within the thickness of a piec, of paper of accomplishment. Nay, more, a scheme oa these lin s had been in actual operation & _.i_- 4. 1- iur nearty twelve montns now at Liontnewyaa, Carnarvon. A Welsh National Council. As to the proposal for a Welsh National Council Dr Macnamara stated that he had for many years advocated a large measure of autonomy for Welsh- men in the matter of education (applause). Such a council as was now proposed could very well be created in the first instance at any rate from representatives of the education authorities throughout the principality. Such a council could, ae time went on, be invested with the power of distributing the Exchequer grants due to Wales on account of education, and ought to have enormous effect in directing schemes for the training of pupil teachers and adult teachers. Short addresses were also given by Mr J H Lewis, M.P., and the High Sheriff of Flintshire. Mr Lewis said he had to express the regret of Mr Augustine Birrell, President of the Board of Edu- cation, at his inability to be present. He went on to remark that he did not think the enormous amount of,work cast upon the County Councils was sufficiently realisedjoy the people. Education had more than doubled tne work of the County CJuu. cils. A cordial vote of thanks was passed to Dr Macnamara, on the proposition of Ur J H Williams, supported by Aldermen H T Brown, chairman of the Cheater Education Committee, Mr L J Roberts, H.M I.S., Mr W A Lewis, and Mr J W Connell. The Cnairman of the County Council was warmly thanked, on the proposition of Mr T W Hughes, seconded by Mr THW ldris, M.P., and a further vote of thaaks was accorded the Chairman of the meeting, on the motion of Mr Summsrs, seconded by Mr W Y Hargreaves. The meeting WAS followed by an At Home at the County Buildings, given by Mr and Nlre Summers.
