Great Debate at Treherho**

Great Debate at Treherho** Ruskin College v, New Labour College, Oxford. Is it desirable that the members of the Rhondda District, South Wales Miners' Federation, should withdraw all further support from Ruskin College, Oxford, and that all scholarships granted in future should be made. in connection with the New Labour College, Oxford?" was the subject of a debate held on Friday last at the Fernhill Institute, Treherbert. The principals were Mr. Noah Ablett, Porth (affirmative); and Mr. T. Mardy Jones, Mardy (negative); both one-time students of Ruskin College. Seats had been reserved for members of the Fede- ration at the Bute, Ynysfeio, Tydraw, Hendrewen and Fernhill Lodges. There was a large number present when Mr. W, H. Morgan (chairman) rose to speau. Before calling upon Messrs. Jones and Ablett, he stated the facts in the history of Ruskin College from its founding in 1899 up to the present crisis. Then Mr. Ablett opened the debate in a speech of half-an-hour's duration. He said that they had heard much about the education of the working class, but not much about working class education. He roughly defined a working man as one who had to fetch that great connecting bond called wages every week or fort- night. He said that the future of society was in the hands of the working class. Education meant the acquiring of know- ledge for the bettering of mankind and there was a specific object for which they wished to acquire education. He spoke eloquently against the affiliation of Ruskin College to Oxford University—an insti- tution of privilege incompetence, and arrogance, where men idled away precious time in order to acquire University manners." This was a great waste of money, whilst the working classes were starved in this respect. When the College began to turn out men. who were pro- mising in the Labour movement, the University began to take an interest and sympathy in it. It was then that the strife began. The attentions of the Uni- versity were favourably received by the Executive of Ruskin College, to the horror of the students. They were com- pelled to find a way out of the wilderness, and so in October, 1908, the Plebs League (People's League) was formed for the purpose of bringing about a more satis- factory connection with the Ruskin students and the Labour movement. The great mass of the students, educated men who understood the situation, with one voice declared that the Plebs League was the right organ. The Executive made, a plain declaration that they did not look with favour upon an organisation which made for connecting the students with the Labour movement. Mr. Hird, their principal, was dismissed in order that Sociology might be removed from the list of subjects, and because he was hindering the linking up of the College with the University. When the students had secured a building in which to start the New College, means were taken to eject them, and the inhabitants of the place made several petitions against the hair- brained young men who were at large in their midst" (laughter). The New O'ol-! lege began to have the support of the Trade Unions, and they obtained a great victory at the conference of the railway- men of the country, when it was decided by 40 votes to 5 to support the New Labour College. The Ruskin College authorities became panic-stricken, and held meetings and made a few pious reso- lutions. They tried to win over the Trade Unions in the same way as the New Col- lege had done. Mr. Ablett concluded by saying that Ruskin College was like a tram off the road. The New College was the lever. They would not easily restore the tram to the track without putting their weight on the lever (loud applause). Mr. Jones said that after the tram was set right on the track again. they could very well afford to throw the lever on one side (laughter and applause). He con- tinued by saying that so long as a man did any useful social work. he was a work- ing man. He would not yield to anyone that Ruskin College, had departed from its principle. That it had not done so was proved by the fact that during its ten years' existence, great and useful work had been done by the large number of men who had been turned out. Ruskin College had been first started as a private concern which sought to influence the Labour Party, but now the College was receiving the great bulk of its money from Trade Unionsi, and not from private resources. The Executive was made up of progressive members of the University and members of the Labour Party. Mr. Ablett's charge was that the Council of Ruskin College wished to wed the College to the University. Mr. Hird and the science of Sociology were in the way of this achievement. Well, even if they had removed Mr. Hird, they set another in his place, namely, Mr. Hodgson, who was also a Socialist and a teacher of Sociology. But Mr. Hodgson's health broke down, and they were compelled to look for another principal. If they wished to remove Sociology from the list of sub- jects, now was their* chance. But they searched the country and found Dr. Slater, another eminent Socialist and active member of the I.L.P. If they were anxious to undermine the principles of Ruskin College, this was a peculiar way of going about it. They had never in- tended to remove Sociology, nor to con- nect the College with the University, and he challenged Mr. Ablett to prove it (applause). Their only proof was con- tain Q'l 4-u- -one JKxecutive, which was drawn up by several Socialists and members of the Labour Party. In this report they recommended that. after one year's residence at Ruskin College, a student had sufficient education to allow him to become a member of the Univer- sity and to sit for a degree. Previous to this, students resided for about two years at the College simply in order to acquire a knowledge of Latin and Greek, and how would this waste of time on such subjects help the Labour movement? If the re- commendation was carried out, it did not officially bind the College with the Uni- versity one jot. Now, if these young men had grievances, and if the Executive would not listen to them, they had yet another remedy. They should have brought their alleged grievances before. the Trade Unions if they had any. In his next speech, Mr. Ablett made a slashing attack upon the monster mag- natoo" who were crushing down the working classes, which. as Mr. Jones afterwards said, would have well suited a meeting of I.L.P. Mr. Ablett said that the New College was like the chick, which could look balk upon the egg and say, "I'm too big for you now." Mr. Jones met this by giving the audience a very sarcastic description of the feeble and weak condition of the chick (the New Labour College). Towards the end, Mr. Ablett said that the students did not want knowledge, which would make them orna- ments with showy 'degrees. They wanted practical knowledge which would fit them to wrestle with the Eight Hours question and other immediate questions which tended for the good of the working men. Mr. Jones, in concluding, said that they had no room for the two colleges. t They could not split up their finance in sup- porting both colleges. It must either be one or the other. Whatever they had done in the past, they must now ask themselves, What they were going to do in the future? Were they going to sup-

Nantymoel Pastor Honoured. On Tuesday evening last, an enthu- siastic meeting was held at Hope (B.C.) Church. Nantymoel, for the purpose of presenting gifts to the Rev. Horace R. Byatt, pastor of Horeb (E.B.) Church, Nantymoel, and Mrs. Byatt, his wife, on their departure to London, Mr. Byatt having accepted a call to Dalston English Baptist Church, of which place he is a native. Mr. Byatt has laboured at Nantymoel for nearly eight years, and his ministry has been highly successful. The Rev. John Hughes, pastor of Saron (W.B.) Church, presided over a large congregation. The meeting was opened with an excellent rendering of 0 Father, Whose Almighty Power by the Nanty- moel United Choir, under the able leader- ship of Mr. Morgan Williams, A.C. The Rev. M. J. Mills (Gilead) then offered up I a prayer. Addresses yere delivered by the Chair- man Mr. Edward David, chairman of the Ogmore Valley Free Church Council; the Revs. J. T. Davies, pastor of Dinam (C.M.) Chapel; J. M. Phillips pastor of Bethany (English C.M.) Church); M. J. Mills, Gilead (English C.M.), Nanty- moel; and Mr. William Owen, one of the elders in Mr. Byatt's church. Mr. John Allen, senior deacon of Horeb, after an interesting speech, in which he bore testimony to the pastor's and his wife's valuable work for the eight years they had laboured amongst them, made the presentation to Mrs. Byatt of a handsome gold brooch and a purse of gold. Mrs. Byatt acknowledged in a neat speech. Mrs. Mathias, widow of the late Rev. T. D. Mathias, M. Byatt's predecessor at Horeb, presented Mr. Byatt with a gold watch, chain and pendant, the watch bearing a suitable inscription. Mr. Byatt acknowledged the gifts in a speech marked by deep. emotion. CongratuJatory verses were read by Mr. William Jones, librarian; and further addresses were given by Messrs. George. Jeanes (Tondu) and Job Baker. A very pleasant evening came to a close with the singing of the Doxology.

Living of Llanwonno. Offered to Vicar of Penygraig. The living of Llanwonno, rendered vacant by the death of the Rev. Thomas I Harris, B.A., has been offered by the Vicar of Llantrisant to and accepted by the Rev. T. Evan Griffithis, B.A., vicar of Penygraig. The new vicar is a native of North Cardiganshire, and is an- excel- lent bilinguist. He graduated at St. David's College, Lampeter, in 1896, and in the same year was ordained deacon. and took priests' orders in 1897. His successful pastoral work as curate of Rhymney, and his special gifts as preacher in both English and Welsh marked him out for preferment. In 1901 he was ap- pointed the first vicar of the new parish of Dinas and Penygraig. During the last eight years he has succeeded in thoroughly organising the parish, and has infused into the different Church organisations much vitality and enthusiasm. The staff at present consists of the assistant clergy and one lay reader, and the four places of worship are centres of devotion and activity. A spacious Church Hall has been erected in the parish, and a commo- dious vicarage built. In 1901 the stipend was only E150. By hard work and sheer perseverance, aided by the self-sacrifice and generosity of loyal workers, the Vicar of Penygraig has succeeded in making the living worth E290 per annum net, together with the customary fees and Easter offerings. The living of Penygraig is in the patronage of the bishop of the diocese.

Football. RUGBY. TREHERBERT ATHLETICS 0, TRE- HERBERT EX-SCHOOLBOYS 0. Blaengwynfi Star's failed to turn up to play Treherbert Athletics on Saturday, but as the Treherbert Ex-Schoolboys were without a fixture, a match was arranged between these two local teams. A doubt has long existed as to whether the Ex- Schoolboys or the Athletics are the better team. Saturday's match promised to decide this question, but as the latter were without five of their forwards, viz., Randal Morgan, T. 0. Thomas, P, Salis- bury, D. Adams and D. R. Jones, as well as J. Griffiths, their outside half, the game was hardly a fair test. The ground was exceedingly heavy after the fall of snow. A fairly large but highly excited crowd attended. With the wind in their favour, the Athletics were rather superior. J. Lewis, their right wing, went off nicely on his own, and was only brought up when he reached W. H. Colwill, the Ex-Schoolboy custodian. The forwards did not feed their backs. They monopolised the ball and indulged in rushing tactics. In one of these rushes the ball was dribbled rather wildly over the Ex-Schoolboys' line, and the Athletics scored under the posts, but in the excitement of the moment a, player infringed the rules, and the try was not alloyed. In the second moiety, the Ex-School- boys were superior. Their forwards made many a gallant dash for the line, but all their efforts were futile. The Athletics were forced to defend most keenly, and whenever the Ex-Schoolboys reached their opponents' line the excitement was in- tense. W. H. Colwill was badly fouled, and the Ex-Schoolboys were awarded a free kick, from which Colwill just failed to land a goal. Wyres, at full-back, saved well for the Athletics from a forward rush. The Ex-Schoolboys were still attacking when the whistle, sounded. A pointless draw indicates the play to a nicety. Neither team deserved to win, and neither team deserved to lose. These two teams will again encounter one an- other in the struggle for supremacy at Treherbert on Christmas Day, when a great game is anticipated. It is to be hoped that the Athletics will be better represented.

ASSOCIATION. LLWYNYPIA RESERVES 4gls., WATTS- TOWN 1. This match was played on the Partridge Ground last Saturday, in fine weather. Wattstown started off with ten players, but Llwynypia soon took un the attack. F. Holland centred the ball beautifully in front of the goal, and Bert Lewis, the captain, scored a very fine goal, giving the goalkeeper no chance to save. Watts- town then went off at the attack, but Llwynypia's defence oroved too strong for them. Some good --lay by both teams followed, and Wattstown came off with a rush, their captain scoring and thus bringing matters to a level. Llwynypia again started off with a rush and by a little diddle-daddle nlaying in front of Wattstown's goal W. HolWoofe scored the second goal. After half-time, Llwynvnia were very dangerous at f,ini-as, and Bert Lewis (cap- tain) added the third goal. Llwynypia were having the best of the play, all round now. They were admirably led by their new captain, Bert Lewis, who is well worthy of the honour and position, and who just before the end of the game added the fourth goal. LLWYNYPIA CRESCENTS 2gls., WILLIAMSTOWN 0. The Crescents visited Williamstown with the intention of meeting the local team in a League encounter, but owing to the referee's fault, a friendly game was played instead. Llwynypia fairly out- classed the Williamstown team, in spite of the fact that they had but seven players. FORTH PUPIL TEACHERS 4gls., YSTRAD LADS 2. This match was played at Porth last Saturday, under very unfavourable con- ditions. Both teams were short of men. The Teachers were much weakened by the absence of T. R. Owen, A. Hanney, and their left-half. From the kick-off Porth secured, and by pretty combination took the ball to their opponents' goal area. From this point of vantage J. Williams sent in a shot which found the net. Soon after- wards, owing to a faulty clearance by the Lads' goalie, Rhys Jones added an- other goal for the P.T.'s with a shot which easily beat the defence. The field now resembled a quagmire. W. Howells re- ceived the ball near the touchline, and after a smart dribhle he scored the third goal for the Teachers, and shortly after- wards the whistle sounded for the inter- val. In resuming, Ystrad went strongly for the home goal, but the P.T.'s managed to keep them out. Then the Teachers again broke away. S. Rowlands sent another goal in past the Ystrad custodian. Masters, for Ystrad, received and scored a good goal after a poor clearance by Bunter, the Porth goalkeeper. Not long before the call of time, Ystrad scored another goal through D. Walters. I W. Howells and Rhys Jones for the ¡ P.T.'s, and Masters for Ystrad, were the I pick. CWMPARC & TREORCHY UNITED Bgll., CARDIFF CORINTHIANS 2. Although much below strength, being without Dicky Jones, Goode and lies, the United at home on Saturday last proved much too strong for a full Cardiff Corinthians team. The ground was sticky and slippery, but the match was produc- tive of good football, the home forwards especially doing well. The gate was a very small one—the worst of the season. In the first half, determined play by Parton, Mitchell and Wilson, the home halves, gave Peake and his confreres nlenty of chances, Thoman drawing first blood. Tait equalised for Cardiff, and Newton scoring with a splendid shot at long range, gave the visitors the lead. Afterwards the home men settled down to a sustained attack, Geo. Jones and Peake showing extra good form. Mitchell shot successfully, and Peake converted a penalty just before the interval. After the interval, Park always held the upper hand, J. Evans. Parton, Peake and Thoman finding the net. The refereeing of Mr. Ted Evans was dis- tinctly good. CWMPARO RESERVES 4gls, CAERAU 1 The Reserves added to their laurels on Saturday by visiting Caerau under the auspices of the Rhondda League, and annexing the points by the handsome score of-4—1. The inclusion of Bull (full- back), Ben Morgan (centre half), and Idris Lewis (outside right) greatly

The same, which was played on the Old Cricket Field, under wretched con- ditions, resulted in a draw of two goals each. Glyn Watkins (centre forward) scored both goals for Treherbert. Coedpenmaen were successful in their protest against Treherbert Ex-Schoolboys. The teams have been ordered to replay the match, which ended in a three-point victory for the Ex-Schoolboys at Treher- bert not long ago. By mutual consent, the fixture between Treherbert N.U. and Merthyr (which should have been played at Treherbert on Saturday) has been postponed until Christmas Day, when it will be played at Merthyr.

Glove Fight Fiasco- Tom Thomae Beats Wilson In 2 Rounds. Tom Thomas, Penygraig, met and defeated Charlie Wilson, of Notting Hill, in two rounds at the National Snorting j Club, London, on Monday evening, in a 20-round contest for the middle-weight championship, stakes and purse money amounting to TSOO, and the championship belt presented by Lord Lonsdale, the pre- sident of the club. As a championship. fight, says a corres- pondent, the affair was an utter fiasco. The Londoner never got away with his racehorse tactics. Thomas was the per- sonification of coolness, and even in the opening round it was apparent that there was only one man in it, and that man was not Wilson. The Londoner abso- lutely failed to act up to the hopes of his admirers. Thomas was the cleverer man both in out-fighting and inward tactics. As for ring craft Wilson was not to be compared with the Welshman, who all through after the first few seconds had the fight up his sleeve. After his opponent had been counted out, Thomas was carried shoulder high by his seconds. The Penygraig man has won 26 fights in his career, and has not re- ceived a reverse or shared the honours in any of them. Wilson had fought 19 previous encounters, and lost on four occasions.

Swing of the Pendulum.' This admirable little booklet, published by The Times Book Club," is in no sense a party tract. It is intended simply to illustrate by means of maps how the swing of the political pendulum affected the distribution of parties at each elec- tion since the passing of the First Reform Bill in 1832. In the historical notes the editors trace the trend of legislation during the period. The maps are admir- ably planned, boroughs being distin- guished from county divisions by simple symbols, which make it possible to see at a glance the changes effected in geograph- ical distribution of the franchise by the successive Reform Acts. The tabulated list of constitituencies gives the. result of the General Election of 1906, shows changes effected at by-elections, and has spaces for recording the results at the next General Election in each con- stituency.

PORTH H.E. SCHOOL 5gls, FERNDALE SECONDARY SCHOOL 0. This match was played at Ferndale on Wednesday afternoon. From the kick-off the visiting forwards pressed, and soon a goal was scored by Evans from the right. The attack was kept up throughout the game, and each one of the Porth forwards scored. The home captain and the goal- keeper played splendidly, and it is due to theii sterling defence that the score was not augmented. The Porth forwards played prettily, but there was too much individual play, and little combination was shown. Time after time the ball was taken to the home goal, but they failed to profit by it, by holding the defence, too cheaply, and holding to the ball when a pass inwards would have been more profit- able. The visiting goalie was not tested ;i+, nil unrl wflis often seen in mid-field. MAINDY CRESCENTS A.F.C. To the Editor of the Rhondda Leader." Sir,—In last Saturday's issue of the Rhondda Leader," you published Pentre Teachers 1 goal, Maindy Crescents nil. A corner kick was awarded to the Maindy, which the Teachers disputed.
