THE WELSH SUMMER SCHOOL. With your kind permission I desire to call the attention of your readers to the 7th annual Welsh Summer School. Since the establishment of the school, and its recogni- tion by the Board of Education as a grant- earning institution, we have reason to believe that the Welsh language has re- ceived a great impetus. In his admirable preface to the New Code, Mr. A. T. Davies, the Welsh permanent secretary, says that the Board of Education hope that the summer course in Welsh, which is now held annually, and in respect of which grants may be earned under the regulations for technical schools, will materially help teachers who have not hitherto had opportunities for learning how to teach Welsh, the board wish that every Welsh teacher should realise the educational value of the Welsh language and literature which, from its wealth of romance and lyric, is peculiarly adapted to to the education of the young" The course has been arranged to meet the needs of beginners who have not had an opportunity of studying Welsh in a syste- matic manner, as well as those of inter- mediate and advanced students. The Welsh Language Society have been successful in securing the service of such eminent authorities as Professors E. Anwyl, J. E. Lloyd, and J. Morris Jones, Mr. S. J. Evans, Mr. W. J. Gruffydd, and Mr. Ifor Williams. These lead the students into the green pastures of Welsh grammar, literature and history, and it is the unwavering opinion of those who have attended in the past that the course will bear comparison with the best of the continental courses. This year the Swansea Grammar School has been placed at the disposal of the society, and through the valuable assistance of the Swansea Cymmrodorion and their indefatigable secretary, and of several educational authorities, we have every pro- spect of a successful gathering next August. Excursions have been arrangod to Neath Abbey, Penllergaer, Mumbles, Morriston, Worm's Head, and other places, under the guidance of Messrs. D. Rhys Phillips (Welsh Librarian), W. Davies (Morriston), and the Rev. D. Picton Evans, B.A. The hospitality of the people of Swansea promises to out- shine anything that the school has ex- perienced in previous years. I should also like to remove one misconception which exists with regard to qualifications for admission. Some believe that only those students who hold council exhibitions are admitted. The doors of the school are much wider they are open to all who may desire to learn Welsh. Neither is admission confined to teachers or a particular class of teachers. The course will benefit ministerial students, all grades of teachers, whether in training or service, students of evening classes, &c. Further particulars may be obtained on application. D. JAMES (Defynnog). Secretary of the Welsh Language Society, Treherbert.

MR. FRANK GROVES, son of the late Alder- man Edwin Groves, for many years chairman of the Monmi uthshire County Council, has got on remarkably well. He is at present engineer-in-chief of the Canton-Kowloon Railway (Imperial Chinese Section). Mr. Groves has always taken much interest in Wales. MR. HAROLD LLOYD, the Conservative Parliamentary candidate in the Rhondda 1 Valley, is making an excellent impression His meetings are being attended by many Radicals, who greatly admire his smart speeches. Mr. Lloyd is a good Welshman, and a rising lawyer. LOCAL CRICKET.—The Cambrian 0.1-1. met the Oaklands Congregational Church C.C. on Saturday, June 5th. The Cambrians won the toss and went in first. In spite of the state of the pitch, they hit freely, and scored 77; the chief scorers being Messrs. E. 0. Williams (22), H. P. Roberts (19), and J. Edwards (11). Oaklands made a disappoint- ing display; their captain, who scored 14, being the only one who faced the balling with any confidence. Their total reached 35. For this creditable result, Mr. J. Edwards, who took four wickets for 22, was mainly responsible. The Cambrians are having a very successful season, having won four out of the five games.

It is our heartfelt wish that you may enjoy a long life full of happiness and iprosperity in the future, and we beseech the Almighty to lead you by his counsel and protect you beneath his sheltering wing. W. E. WILLIAMS, Ysguborhen (Chairman) WM. ROBERTS, Gwyndy (Treasurer) WM. PRITOHARD, Penybryn (Secretary)." The address was inscribed in a book which also contained the names of the sub- scribers. This, together with the album containing sketches of the neighbourhood and photographs of the Chancellor's family and schoolmaster, had been very artistically designed by Mr. Maurice Jones, A.R.C.A., Carnarvon. Mr. Lloyd George was evidently greatly moved by the kind and warm ex- pressions contained in the address. Speaking in Welsh, he declared that it was of no earthly use trying to keep his age a secret any longer. He had to admit that it was now over forty years since he first attended the old school over the river. It was at this school that he first learnt to calculate, but he feared that nowadays some people had reason to believe that he was better at sub- straction than anything else. (Laughter.) He recounted many incidents of his youth, and comparing the present educational advantages with those of the past, shewed how infinitely greater they were. However, he declared dramatically, ere the genera- tion reared with me at that school there has died away, it will have left a deep impress on the national life, and will take part in doing away with many an injustice which is keep- ing God's sunshine from the windows of the cottages of the people." That flash of the eye, bearing testimony as it did to the burning fire of enthusiasm within, will be long remembered by those present. He has the spark that will set the chaff on fire. That change of features when he began to talk of the poor and the oppressed was no mere stage effect. That stern look, as he meditated on their struggles and strife, told its own tale. The crowd dispersed. Each peasant returned to his own little cottage, to rest and to reflect on the doings of the day and in the loneliness of undisturbed reflection the Spirit of the night in clear accents whispered softly, Trust that man."
