An application was received from Father Griffiths, correspondent manager of the lonypandv Roman Catholic School, ask- ing that the school should be closed on March 17th (St. Patrick's Day), as tho day was to lie observed as a general holi- day by the Catholic fraternity. The application was granted, CONFERENCES AND REPRESEN- TATION. Consequent upon the instruction of the ochool Management Committee of loth January to prepare a report as to the relative importance of the annual confer- enoes to which the Education Committee are invited from time to time to send Representatives, the Director reported as follows: "NATIONAL UNION OF TEACHERS. The chief advantages of this confer- ence are exhibition of furniture, books school apparatus, and sectional con- ^reuces on school work. Last year, 70 "authorities sent representatives, averaging two representatives each. This ?ea?\ so far, 40 Authorities have accepted invitations for 74 representatives 27 aave intimated that they will not send presentatives. and other Authorities AlVy n°t yet discussed the matter. Tho Auditor objected to members attending wiis conference. WELSH FEDERATION OF EDUCA- TION AUTHORITIES. The object of this Association is to consider legislative problems and ad- ministrative questions so far as they ™*ect Wales, with a view of improving Imperial support, and to work through the National Education Associa- tion as a supplemental and subsidiary a8ency. We are the second largest Edu- ction Authority in Wales, and without L e assistance of the Rhondda Education ^oniniittee such Association could scarcely said to voice Welsh opinion on educa- tional matters. SANITARY CONGRESS. The special subjects (medical inspec- tion of schools) which made this confer- ence prominent last year is not likely to repeated, so that the conference in the future, will not appeal to the Education Committee a.8 having special reference to their work.

Working Man's Plucky Struggle. Some people see life in the rosiest of hues. To others1, less fortunate, it is nothing but a, sombre, dismal existence. Throughout the land there are hundreds of working men and women silently nursing some heavy pain or affliction, yet plodding on with a pertinacity that is something heroic. For six years Mr. Abraham Mwdd, residing at Pine Street, Waldridge Fell, Cester-le-Street, endured such a struggle. Listen to what he now writes: —" For six years I have suffered from rheumatism. Nothing that I ever triad gave me the least relief until I applied Dr. Sloan's Liniment, the pene- trating properties of which are infallible in giving speedy and thorough comfort. I have never been troubled with rheu- matism since I tried Dr. Sloan's Liniment, and I shall always have the remedy in my possession. You have my permission to publish this: letter anywhere." If you have Rheumatism do not trifle with drugs, but drive away the pain at once with Dr. Sloan's Liniment. Dr. Sloan's is the most powerful of liniments. and penetrates through skin, muscle and tissues right to the bone, stopping pain instantly, and. imparting a delightful feeling; of comfort and warmth. Dr. Sloan's Book tells you how to treat Rheumatism properly, and also what to do in caseg of emergency where violent pain is suddenly aroused. Send for a copy to-day, it is quite free.

-=--===-==-=--=. The Association has been instrumental in securing higher grants for Higher Elementary Schools, more liberal treat- ment of Secondary Schools, and the y ,special grants, which we have enjoyed for the past three years, varying from £ 4,000 to £ 7,000 per annum. The question of Domes tic Training and Handicraft and the securing of more rational regulations for the conduct of these classes' is at pre- sent under the consideration of this Asso- ciation. As a large Association, I hope the Rhondda will continue to be affiliated, as we have been ever since the adoption of the School Board Act in this district." Councillor R. S. Griffiths asked what was the cost of joining these conferences. The Director replied that with certain conferences they paid three guineas a year. The Chairman said that the London County Council was not an annual con- ference, but was called to deal with a speeifie subject which was of great im- portance* to them as an Education Autho- rity. The Auditor objected to their being represented at the N.U.T. Confer- ence, and also at the Welsh Language Conference, but he .Dr. Thomas) certainly thought that they should be represented at the latter ^conference, as it was a Society of national importance, and he felt inclined to have a "talk to'" with the Ouditor on the matter. Councillor1 Dd. Smith asked whether the Committee could get the experience of members who had attended confer- ences of that Society. Councillor Edward Jones said that fee had attended conferences of the Welsh language. Society, and he was certainly of the opinion that it was to the advan- tage of the Committee to be represented at that conference. The teachers who attended the Society's lectures were taught the best Welsh, including Welsh grammar, poetry and history, and this could not but have a corresponding bene- ficial result in their teaching the lan- guage in the schools where they were employed. After further discussion, it, was decided to be represented at all the conferences as occasion demanded, except the N.U.T. Conference and the Sanitary Congress. THE PRINTER'S "DEVIL." Councillor R. S. Griffiths called atten- tion to the" had printing." of the minutes, and said that many words had to be guessed owing to the number of typographical errors. The Clerk said that as they were about to invite tenders for printing;, he honed the Council would bear this fact in mind when the tenders were considered. Councillor' Griffiths asked the Clerk to bring up a report on the matter, but the Clerk replied that he would rather that the Chairman of each Committee should take it un. Councillor Griffiths then moved a motion directing the attention of the Council to the present printing when the tenders for the printing came before them. The Clerk read a minute of a previous meeting, at which a. similar recommen- dation had been made. and Councillor Griffiths consented to withdraw his motion 011 condition that the matter would be brought forward when the tenders were being considered. SUPERVISION OF SCHOOL MEDICAL INSPECTION, The Chairman (who had a notice of motion to that effect on the agendai) formally moved that the Medical Officer be appointed supervisor of the medical examination of school children.

remarked that the Committee had assumed that this office would naturally fall to Dr. Jenkins but they had had a com- munication that unless he was appointed by resolution of the Council, they would be considered as not having observed all the formalities of the Act. TEMPERANCE AND HYGIENE. The Scientific Temperance and Hygiene Sub-Committee reported that, in pur- suance of the resolution of the Education Committee to include temperance and hygiene instruction in the school curri- culum, the Committee had considered the scheme set out in the Director's report in October last. and the Director had j also submitted a further report upon the result of his visit to schools under the Monmouthshire Education Authority for the purpose of observing the system in vogue under that Authority. After full I consideration of the matter, the Com- mittee recommended the adoption of the scheme outlined by the Director, and that the services of Mr. R. Prys Jones, Ponty- pridd, who is already engaged m similar work under the Monmouthshire and Car- diff Education Authorities, be retained as part-time peripatetic teacher to visit each of the schools at least twice a year for. this purpose. I The report was adopted. SCHOOL BROKEN INTO. The School Management Committee reported the receipt of a letter from Miss M. Davies, headmistress of the Llwyn- celyn Infants' School, stating that upon her arrival at the school on the morning of the 1st February, she found that the building had been broken into, and that one of the window panes was broken, three cupboard locks forced, and several other cupboards opened by means of keys found after forcing the locks, and that the rooms were in a state of confusion, the apparatus of the cupboards being strewn about the floor, whilst one or two articles1 from the museum cupboard were broken. The Director informed the Committee that the matter was in the hands of the police. EXAMINATION RESULTS. The Committee also reported having considered a return showing the results of the Preliminary Certificate Examina- tion (Part 1) held in December last. A nummary of the results is appended. -Va,ss. rallures.

The Building Committee reported "the receipt of a letter from the Board of Education, stating that the erection of a. Higher1 Elementary Sehool; at Tony," pandy would not fully relieve the pres- sure on the neighbouring Elementary Schools as such a. school would naturally take a certain number every year from the upper standards of each. school in the neighbourhood, and provide educa- tion for children of ages above the normal age of children in the Elementary Schools. The Board were, therefore, of the opinion, especially in view of the rapid growth of the population in the area, and also of the fact that the effec- tive accommodation at Llwynypia and Tonvpandy Schools was lessi than the accommodation at present recognised by the Board, and the Committee's proposal to seek a new site on the Llwynypia side to relieve Tonypandy, Llwynypia, and possibly. later pressure from the Cwm- clydach side, should be acted upon with- out delay. The Committee also reported having I received a letter from Messrs. J. G. Maddox and Son, Cardiff, stating that with reference to the Council's applica- tion for a site for school purposes at Llwynypia, the Glamorgan Coal Company, Ltd.. had now decided that they would require the Llwynypia House field for future colliery developments, and that this being so, the owners were unable to let the site as proposed to the Council for school purposes. The Committee resolved to consider the selection of an alternative site at their next meeting. The report was adopted. ATTENDANCE COMPETITION SHIELD The General Purposes Committee re- ported having perused the school atten- dance -returns for the five weeks ending 5th February, and the Director was in- structed to convey the congratulations of the Committee to the head-teachers of the Blaenclydach Boys' and Mardy Girls' Schools, at .which the percentage for the period in question reached 95.2 and 94.1 ely. respectively. The, Committee also resolved to put on the agenda for its next meeting the con- sideration of the desirability of providing a shield for annual competition between the various, hoys', girls' and mixed departments, such shield to be retained -s" by the school reaching the highest annual percentage from time to time. The report was adopted.
