Correspondence.
Correspondence. To the Editor of the Rhondda Leader. Sir,—May I be allowed through the medium of your esteemed paper to bring before the- notice of the people of these Valleys a cause which deserves their earnest consideration and support? Numer- ous lectures, concerts, and other educa- tional functions for the general uplifting of the people are held in both Valleys. 1 feel that it is a pity that no endeavour has been made to correlate and co- ordinate these so as to minimise over- lapping and to reduce the educational wastage. It very often happens that a person lectures on the same subject in several parts of the Valleys. It ought to be possible to arrange that the lectures given in these places should be correlated in a definite scheme. This would un- doubtedly be to the advantage of the people and of the promoters of the lec- tures. Again, people living in one part of our Valleys are often unaware of meet- ings, &c., which are to take place in other parts. If a general programme were drawn out, including all meetings of an educational nature, this would, to a cer- tain extent, be obviated. I should like to call your attention to the Workers' Educational Association," the objects of which are, among others, to bring about the above reforms. This Association co-ordinates existing agencies and devises fresh means by which working people of all degrees may be raised educationally, step by step, until they are able to take advantage of the facilities which are and which may be provided by the Universities. It is a missionary organisation working in co- operation with education authorities and working class organisations. It is defi- nitely unsectarian, non-political and demo- cratic. It is a federation consisting, at present, of 1,125 organisations, including 404 Trade Unions, Councils and Branches, 11 University Bodies, 87 Working Men's Clubs and Settlements, oo Teachers' Unions, 29 Educational Authorities and Institutions, 48 Literary and Scientific Societies, and 179 other Societies, includ- ing Friendly Societies, religious organ- isations of all leading sects, and all types of political bodies (Conservative, Labour, Liberal, and Socialist). It seeks to fulfil its objects in the following principal ways :—(a) By arousing the interest of the workers in higher education, and by directing their attention to the facilities already existing; (b) by enquiring into the needs and feelings of the workers in regard to education, and by representing them to the Board of Education, Univer- sities, Local Education Authorities, and Educational Institutions; (c) by pro- viding, either in conjunction with the aforementioned bodies or otherwise, facilities for studies of interest to the workers which may have been hitherto overlooked (d) by publishing, or arrang- ing for the publication, of such reports, pamphlets, books, and magazines as it deems necessary. Such are the aims and objects of this Association, and the manner 01 carrying them out. Undoubtedly, you will agree with me that these objects are worthy of and fully deserve our attention, respect and support. I will proceed to name, some of the officials of the Association, in order to show its representative character. The president is Mr. Wm. Temple, and the secretary Mr. A. Mansbridge (mem- ber of the Consultative Committee, Board of Education). In the Executive Council we find such well-known persons as the following:—Messrs. A. B. Badger (Asso- ciation of Directors of Education), W. A. Nicholls, who, Mr. Editor, enjoys a similar honour to yours in being an ex- president of the N.U.T., Profs. Thomas Jones and Lees Smith, M.P., and Miss Margaret McMillan. These are only a few names of those who serve on the Council. The district chairmen are: —(1) Mid- land, Right Rev. Dr. Gore, Bishop of Birniinghom; (2) North-Western, Mr. D. J. Shackleton, M.P. (3) South Wales and Monmouthshire, Alderman P. W. Raffan, M.P. (chairman of the Monmouthshire County Council). The district secretary for South Wales is Councillor Moses L. Jones, J.P., Trehafod, who has the honour of being the first Labour chairman of the Pontypridd District Council. It is not uninteresting to know that the first dis- trict secretary for South Wales is the present Lord Mayor of Cardiff. The men- tion of the above names is sufficient to convince us of the worthiness of the Asso- ciation. In South Wales there are branches in Abertillery, Barry, Cardiff, Cwmavon, Pontypridd, Tredegar, and Merthyr. The Education Authorities, convinced that Association may be a, means of stimu- lating the demand for education amongst the people, are coming forward strongly in its support. The County Educational Authorities of Monmouthshire and Gla- morgan, and the Local Education Autho- rities of Swansea, Abertillery, Pontypridd, I Mountain Ash, Elhbw Vale, &c., are lend- ing their aid. The Association is responsible for a, net- work of classes and lectures, increased attendance at existing classes and lec- tures, the formation of habits of positive and well-directed reading, and the spread of a real belief in education revealing its beneficent influence all over the country. A brief summary of the work accomplished at the branches would not be out of place here. (1) Practically all the branches work in co-operation with the Local Education Authorities which are represented on the Council, and are making grants in in- creasing number and generally provide rooms free of charge, unless more suit- able rooms are provided by the local Co- operative Society or Trade Councils. (2) University Tutorial Classes are held in some districts. (3) Tutorial Classes, not under the direct auspices of Universities, but taught by University teachers, are held at eight branches. (4) A Tutorial Class for working women is held at Oldham. (5) Classes for working women are held at other branches. (6) Summer Classes are held at Cwm- avon. (7) University Extension Lectures have been organised at Pontypridd. (8) Educational rambles are organised at almost every branch. (9) Practically all the branches assist the Evening School work in one way or another; in some branches, very definite schemes are in existence. (10) Local calendars of educational facilities and fixtures are published by some branches. Others publish leaflets. (11) Practically all the branches supply lecturers to their affiliated societies. j (12) Educational Clubs have been j formed in connection with some of the | branches. (13) Choral Societies have been formed. I (14) An Art Gallery has been con- structed at Northampton. (15) Trips abroad have been made by members of the, branches at Rochdale and South London. (16) Debating Societies have been ar- ranged. (17) Branches have been organised in Ward Committees at Pontypridd and Bristol. (18) Discussion Classes and Reading Circles have been organised by most branches. (19) All the branches focus the educa- tional needs of the people in their area, and make suggestions to educational bodies. I hope, sir, that I am not taking up I too much of your space but I feel that even with, the space I have taken, I can- not adequately describe the Association. I If the above were carried out in our Valleys, we should certainly feel that the Association is a "rand one, and that it is doing noble work. I feel that we are very much indebted to certain persons who go about these Valleys giving free concerts and lectures. The public mind is being educated and its taste refined by being brought into contact with the magnificent works of the greatest masters in music. It is certain that these persons would find their task much easier were there some central authority to make all the necessary arrangements. Doubtless there are many other persons who would be willing to sacrifice their time and apportunities to do work in other branches with the same noble purpose, were there only a suitable body to arrange matters for them. A branch of this Association would be a suitable authority for doing such work. Will not some public bodies or men move in this matter and endeavour to form a branch in the Rhondda? Then a long-felt want will undoubtedly be satis- fied to the benefit of all concerned. Cer- tainly, we shall then be broadening the highway from the mine, the office, and the workshop, to the University for those people who have the brains, the per- severance, and the character. Trusting you will find it convenient to exert your forceful influence in the development of this grand work.—I remain, yours faithfully, EDGAR EVANS. 72, Ystrad Road, Pentre, February 3rd, 1910.
Rhondda " Conservative " Library
Rhondda Conservative Library To the Editor of the Rhondda Leadet. Sir,—Will you allow me once more to make use of your columns to explain my letter which appeared under the above heading in your issue of January 9th? The reason why I wrote you, sir, was because the, letter I sent to the Chairman of the Committee, setting forth my com- plaints more fully t-han what appeared in your paper, was not read to the Com- mittee, but was shelved. The idea in ordering Mudie's books is to be able to borrow modern literature. If so, why was it that for last January the collection borrowed contained four volumes that were in the Library collec- tion, viz., two volumes of Darkest Africa" and two volumes of Life of H. M. Staiifey 11 P Whoever ordered them was ignorant of the Library collection. This is hat I meant by saying that the Mudie's books borrowed were an insult to the Library collection. As regards papers and periodicals, I may say that since my letter appeared in your columns the Committee have specu- lated a. halfpenny a day more on Liberal papers, viz., Morning Leader." Mr. Harry says that all old periodicals are sold for a Id. and 2d. each. Does Mr. Harry know that some periodicals are sold for 6d. each? Take the balance sheet for 1909 —Paid for periodicals and papers, £54 17s. lOd.; received in ex- change for periodicals and papers, 9-1. If, as Mr. Harry says, they are all sold, is £1 enough for them, even as waste paper? Why is it that ten years have elapsed since "a catalogue was made for the Library? There are books whose names are in the catalogue, that are not in the Library. They have been read out. Would it not be wiser if the Committee, who are so anxious to oblige (vide Mr. Harry), were to clothe the Library with a new stock of these books, and not clothe men ? There are also some 300 books in the Library which are not catalogued. This is a grave injustice to the Library. V/ake up, ye Committee, and do your 6d. worth. Why is it that the Committee put up fit- tings to isolate boys, and placed before them Comic Cuts," Chips," Funny Cuts," &c.? Happily, the boys scorned the idea, and the Committee had to go to an extra expense to pull the fittings down. Would it not be better for the Com- mittee to order an Irish or Scotch daily paper, rather than a paper from Canada ? Are any of its members emigration agents for the Domliiion ?-Yours, &c., BOOKWORM. February 7th, 1910.
,Rhondda Scholastic Hooliganism
Rhondda Scholastic Hooliganism To the Editor of the Rhondda Leader. Sir,—May I be allowed to trespass on your space to call attention to what is rapidly approaching a public scandal, viz., the conduct of Rhondda pupil teachers during their wait for the arrival of the 12.40 p.m. up train at Porth? These young gentlemen simply com- mandeer the waiting room, and while away the time of waiting by incessant cat-calls, howling comic songs, and in- dulging in language which ill befits the instructors of young; children. Nor do they stop at that. With a handball or piece of paper tied up with a string they convert the room into a football field, and no regard whatever is paid to the extremities of non-participants in this elevating pastime. I have also seen books and papers being hurled from one end of the room to the other, while only a few days ago one of their number narrowly missed being struck by a shovel that came hurtling through the air from the oppo- site end of the room. Neither seats,- tables, windows or passengers are safe at their hands. I have suffered extreme provocation through their conduct, and it is this which now urges me to make public my grievance, in the hope that Hr. Chalke, the esteemed principal of the Pupil Teachers' Centre (who, I am sure, cannot be aware of the outrageous con- duct of his pupils), may use his influence to put down this scholastic hooliganism.— I am, yours, &Cf., TRAVELLER.
Pentre Hockey Club Dance-
Pentre Hockey Club Dance- To the Editor of the Rhondda Leader. Sir,—I should be much obliged if you could favour me with the use of your columns to announce a fact to which my attention has been drawn, namely, that an a-iiioouiieeirei-Lt, was made on the tickets for the above dance that this Company's cars would be available until 2.15 a.m. on the night of the dance. This announcement was absolutely un- authorised, as no arrangement was made or steps taken to make arrangements with this Company for the cars to run till that time. In view of the fact that a. considerable amount of inconvenience might be ca-uged to people attending the dance owing to such an announcement, I think it only right that they should know that the onus lays on the Club Committee and not on the U Tramways Company. Thanking you in anticipation.—Yours faithfully, H. J. NISBETT, Manager Rhondda Tramways Co. February 4th, 1910.
Pavilion Skating Rink, Tonypandy,
Pavilion Skating Rink, Tonypandy, Fancy Dress Carnival. All sorts and conditions of men were represented at the grand roller skating carnival held at the Pavilion Rink, Tonypandy, on Thursday evening last. Indeed, it would be very hard to imagine what section of mankind was not represented. There were personages of by-gone historic days intermingling with delightful equanimity with their more modern confreres of the present day. For instance, the u Duchess of Devon- shire hobnobbed with Harry Lauder," Prince Llewellyn made love to Mrs. Pankhurst," which lady seemed more intent upon roller skating than crying out "Votes for Women," and "The Pirate King busily engaged himself with cuddling "Nursie." Mr. Herbert Homer. ot centre, took the gold watch with a most ingenious costume. It was a representation of a bride and bridegroom—one-half of him- self was attired in the flowing muslins and silks of a blushing bride carrying a bouquet, whilst the other half repre- sented the bridegroom with the conven- tional silk hat and frock coat. Mr. Homer had several rivals with the same idea, but none were so excellently done as the prize-winner. Another fine exhibit was that of Mr. Walter Mitchell, of Treherbert, as John Bull, who, along with Miss Mary Lewis, Treorchy, as "Britannia," made a very fine couple. Mr. Charles Jenkins, Porth, looked cavalierly in his Charles 1. cos- tume, whilst Mr. Jack Evans (Temple of Fashion, Tonypandy) appeared very smart as the Dandy Darkie." One extremely original idea was that of Mr. John James, Treorchy, who came straight from work underground, with his pick, shovel and lamp—he was one of the first to catch the judges' eye. A committee picked out of the audi- ence was responsible for the judging, and Mr. J. Owen Jones (draper) presented the prizes to the respective winners. There was a large number of entries for the carnival, whilst onlookers were present in great crowds. LIST OF AWARDS. Ladies' most beautiful dress of the evening 1st, Miss Rowbotham, Treforest (" Duchess of Devonshire "); 2nd, Mrs. Dan Thomas, Tonypandy. Gents' most beautiful dress of the evening: 1st, Mr. Herbert Homer, Pen- tre (" Bride and Bridegroom "); 2nd, Mr. Oh as. Jenkins, Porth (" King Charles I."). Ladies' best national costume: 1st, Miss Mary Lewis, Treorchy (" Bri- tannia "); 2nd, Miss Winnie Lukins, Pontypridd (" Nigger Girl "). Gents' best nttional, costume: 1st, Mr. Walter Mitfchell, Treherbert (" John Bull"); 2nd, Mr. Charles Lilley, Ponty- pridd (" Scotchman "). Ladies' most original costume: 1st, Miss Maggie Jenkins, Treorchy (" Swiss Girl "); 2nd, Miss Jennie Jenkins, Tre- orchy (" Diairymaid "). Gents' most original costume: 1st, Mr. John James, Treorchy ("Collier"); 2nd, Mr.' George Thomas, Post Office, Tony- pandy (" Prince ^Llewellyn "). Gents' best comiq dress: 1st, Mr. E. D. Thomas, Penygraig (" Weary Willie, "); 2nd, Mr. Jack Twissell, Tonypandy. Best dressed lady representing fairy tale or nursery rhyme: 1st, Miss Jennie Jenkins, Treorchy (" Mary and Her Little, Lamb "). Best dressed gent representing fairy tale or nursery rhyme: 1st, Master Vernon Thomas, Thistle Hotel, Tony- pandy; 2nd, Mr. W. O. Rowe, Ponty- pridd. Consolation prizes were awarded to the following:—Mr. O. V. Evans, Pentre; Mr. J. F. Evans, Temple of Fashion, Tonypandy; Mr. W. B. Faull, Ponty- pridd; and Miss Sally Evans. Treorchy. In the ladies' best comic dress section, no awards were given. On the whole, the entries were of an excellent order—so much so that it was almost impossible to recognise the iden- tity of the person disguised. Great credit is due to Mr. J. E. Peach, the Pavilion manager, for his excellent carnival arrangements; whilst the skating surface was kept under good control by the floor1 manager, Mr. Arthur Metcalfe, who was ably assisted by Instructor. Kattlewell. Previous to the carnival, all the, skates had been thoroughly overhauled and tested by Mr. Tom Anderson, the popular skate expert, who was in no small way responsible for the success of the evening.

-----Presentation at Treherbert-
Presentation at Treherbert- A very successful, presentation meeting was held at the Smith's Arms Hotel, Tre- herbert, on Monday, the 31st' ult., when Mr. Thomas Moses, of Treherbert, and Mr. Young, of Pentre, were presented with gifts in recognition of their services to the different lodges of the R.A.O.B. Mr. J. F. Williams presided. Dr. Williams, of Treherbert, in'making the presentation to Mr. Moses, which consisted of a beautiful portrait of himself, spoke in the highest terms of praise of the recipient, aad remarked that nothing could have given him more pleasure than to be allowed to make the presentation to Mr. Moses. He had known him many years, and had always found him a true friend and a man to be always relied upon (applause). Mr. Moses, in responding, said that he was sure that he did not. deserve all the good things said about him. He was one of the oldest members of the Order of the R.A.O.B. in the Rhondda Valley, and during his term of office as secretary he had always done his best to discharge his duties conscientiously (hear, hear). The duty of presenting Mr. Young with an elaborate walking stick fell to the lot of Mr. Elliot, of Porth, who referred to Mr. Young's willingness at all times to assist any cause, whether charitable or otherwise. Mr. Young, in his response, thanked the brothers and friends, and said that it would encourage him to do more- if possible than he had done in the nast. During the evening, musical selections were contributed by, Messrs. Evans, Burge, Jones, Hopkins, Selby, Richards, and the Treherbert Male Voice Party- Mr. L. Perkins also gave a stirring reci- tation, and Ap Pearce's selections on the: harp were highly appreciated. At the close of the meeting, the National Anthem was sung in Welsh and English by Dr. Williams and Mr. T. Todd Jones.
-_._----------IWhat Tonypandy…
What Tonypandy Credits. We in Tonypandy may not credit all we read respecting happenings in distant towns, but we do credit the earnest word of a neighbour. What could be more convincing than this outspoken Blaen- clydach statement? Mrs. Mary Lloyd, of 84, Jones Street, Blaenclydach, Tonypandy, says Two years or so ago I must have strained my back, for it was then that I had my first attack of kidney trouble. I became dropsical, having heavy swellings in the legs and arms. The secretions from the kidneys were unnatural and painful, and I had such bad pains in my back that I was unable to do my housework properly I could not even bend down to pick up anything from the floor. As a result of getting sleepless nights I felt dull and listless all through the day. At times I was troubled also with neuralgic head- aches, and there were spots before my eyes. I heard that Doan's Backache Kidney Pills were good for complaints like mine, so I got a, box to try. The pills sent away the dropsical swellings, but as I still had a pain in my back I got another box of the pills, which made my back stronger, and I could bend about without pain. Better still, I was able to get good rest at nights. The third box- of Doan's Back- ache Kidney Pills completed my cure, for which I was very thankful. A few months ago the backache came on again; and, remembering the good Doan's Pills had done me before, I got another box of them. Tliev soon made me well. I consider this medicine an ex- cellent one for kidney trouble. (Signed) Mary Lloyd." Doan's Backache Kidney Pills are two shillings and ninepence per box. or six boxes for thirteen shillings and ninepence.
