LETTERS TO THE EDITOR We wish it to be clearly understood that we do not in any way hold ourselves responsible for the opinions expressed in correspond- ence appearing under the above heading — ED.

Soldiers in Uniform. To the Editor of the County Echo." Sir,—Having within the last few days ar- rived at Goodwick, and read the issues of your valuable paper for the 8th and ijth instants respectively, I was much struck, not to say surprised, to find that the question of uniform and private clothes had even pene- trated to Fishguard, and that the question had arisen through a couple of recently-for- med "Territorials" attending a political meeting in the West End of Fishguard. I need scarcely point out that the old fall- acy that those who wear His Majesty's uni- form are debarred from taking part in the politics of the Empire, is a dead letter. To use a low percentage I would say that at least one-third of the voters in the large naval towns such as Devonport and Ports- mouth are Naval men. Every facility is afforded these men to register their votes, by the naval authorities, and I well remember the occasion mentioned by 'Ex-Flatfoot' when the Channel Fleet (now the 2nd Div- ision of the Home Fleet) were a few years ago ordered into their home ports, (Devonport Portsmouth, and Chatham) to enable the men serving in this unit of the Fleet to regis- ter their votes. Ex-Flatfoot states that these men atten- ded in uniform because it was against the King's regulations to be out of uniform at any time. I am afraid that Ex- Flattoot's' knowledge of the King's regulations and Admiralty instructions is very vague, and I would point out to him that the wearing of private clothes is not even mentioned in the instructions quoted. To find mention of private clothes he must turn to the Port and Station Orders of the several Commanders-in-chief in command of Fleets and Home Ports, and even here private clothes are only taken into account in so far as it relates to officers going on shore from their ships only. There are Army Regulations with regard to the wearing of private clothes, but the paragraph under the heading Entre Nous' goes very wide of the mark. These regulat- ions relate to men on leave, and not in any way to political meetings. The Sailor and Soldier of this day is not the man he was even ten years ago. To-day he is intelligent, well-educated, progressive, and is able to take his part in politics or any other matters in connection with his country's good; and I put it to you, Sir, that, whether he attends political meetings in uniform or private clothes is a matter of little moment, inasmuch as, when the call comes, to Arms he will be found at his post behind the gun or rifle, politics forgotten, none more loyal than he, ready to fight, and if need be, die for the defence of his country. Apologising for taking up so much of your valuable space. Yours truly, R. N.

Who is D. Lloyd-George? To the Editor of County Echo." Dear Sir,—I have been a constant reader of your excellent "County Echo" and during that time you have played a very prominent part in praising Mr D. Lloyd-George, M.P., and some of his family, and in the Echo for March 18th last, he is described as the son of a former resident of Tresinwen. Now, sir, 1 should like to have, through your Echo," reolies to the following Questions :— i-When did D. Lloyd-George's grand- father leave Tresinwen ? 2-What year did his grandfather die ? 3—What year did his grandmother re-wed? 4-To whom' did his grandmother marry the second time ? 5- What year was the Baptist Chapel erected at Scleddy ? 6-Who were the trustees at the time of erection ? 7—On which farm did the French land at "PpnrAPr ?

PEMBROKESHIRE EDUCATION COMMITTEE. PENNY INCREASE IN THE RATE. Appointment of Cookery Teacher. MEMBERS PROTEST AND LEAVE THE MEETING. There was a very unwonted little episode at the meeting of the County Education Authority on Friday. Three members—Dr. Griffith, Mr. W. T. Davies, and Mr. James Harries—to mark their disapproval of the appointment of an additional cookery and laundry instructress re- tired from the meeting when the appointment was being made. This took bub a few minutes and the sub-committee reports were immed- iately proceeded with. The members smiled broadly when the reports of the three commit- tees of which the absent gentlemen were chair- men respectively were taken and adopted in their absence without comment. Another mat- ter of perhaps greater importance was the bud- get disclosure of an increased rate to the ex- tent of one penny. Mr. S. B. Sketch presided and there were also present:—Mr. J. Howard Griffiths (vice- chairman), Miss Allen, Sir Charles Philipps, Archdeacon Hilbers, Dr. Griffith, Rev. W. Powell, Dr. Williams (Drim), Mr. G. P. Brewer, Mr. J. Whicher, Mr. C. W. R. Stokes, Mr. W. Palmer Morgan, Mr. Jonah Evans, Mr. E H James, Mr James Harries, Mr. W. T. Davies, Mr. J. M. Evans (Bletherston), Mr. W. G. Parcell, Mr. W Lawrence, Mr H. Seymour Allen, Mr. W. Robinson (Pembroke Dock, to- gether with 1fr. W. Davies George (clerk), Mr. rl. E. H. James, B.A. (director), and Mr D. Edward Thomas (architect). PETITION FROM LUDCHURCH. The Clerk read a letter from the Board of Education stating they had been informed there were only 31 .scholars on the books of the ex- isting school at Longstone in Ludchurch parish, and enquiring whether in view of this it was desirable for the Committee to erect a school to accommodate 66. The Clerk also read a petition from the in- habitants and ratepayers objecting to the burd- ening of the parish with the cost of a school to accommodate the proposed number, as in their view accommodation for 50 would be ample, in consideration of the fact that there were only 50 children of school age in the parish. They asked the Committee to recon- sider the matter and cause an inquiry to be held. Mr. H. Seymour Allen said he could endorse these contentions. There were other schools within easy reach and the average attendance at this one was only 27 or 30. He therefore thought a school of the size proposed would be an unnecessary expense. The Clerk pointed out that the matter was dealt with in the report of the Building sub- committee, which recommended that they be authorised to hold a public enquiry in the locality and that in the meantime the matter with regard to the site stand over. The Clerk also pointed out that the proposal was for 60, no 66, as mentioned by the Board of Educa- tion. Mr. W. P. Morgan said that the present school was in such a position that people would not send their children there; it was in such a scandalous state that people preferred send- ing them outside the parish. The petitioners said there were 50 children of school age in the parish and that was a fair guide as to the number available for the proposed school. He hid no doubt that the children who now attended other schools would go to a proper school in their own place. There was a good deal of misunderstanding about the matter in the pafish, but he quite agreed that an in- quiry should be held. There was a lot to be said on either side. As to the site he was afraid the building sub-committee had gone a bit too far with their arrangements and could not retract. He knew that the ground was pegged out and the price fixed. The cost of the school, as originally suggested, was put at £1,300, but he was assured by the Architect that a building for 60 children would not be so much as that. Sir Charles Philipps considered the recom- mendation of the committee for an inquiry a very wise one. The parish was a very small' one and not very rich, so that a large amount for building would fall heavily upon it. Noth- ing could be more satisfactory to the people concerned than for an enquiry to be held. The ratepayers did not wish to shirk having a good school but desired to be as- economical as possible. Mr. Parcell expressed the hope that no school would be built there at all, as he understood there were others within easy reach. Mr. Lawrence said he was sorry to hear a member express that hope. Surely 50 children ought to be considered, and he felt sure they would attend a centrally situated school if there was one. He was certain no members of that committee would send their children to the present school. It was a disgTace to the Authority and to the county. (Chairman: Hear hear). He hoped the matter would be taken in hand at once. Mr. Parcell said he understood there were several schools within easy distance of the parish and that there was no necessity for a new one. In reply to questions the Chairman said the present school was two miles from the near- est school in one direction and three miles in another direction. He pointed out that the Board clearly expected them to build a school there; all they asked was whether the Com- mittee thought it desirable to provide accom- modation for so many as proposed. He thought they could not possibly do better than act upon the recommendation of the building sub- committee. Mr. Stokes said the petitioners asked for an inquiry by the Board of Education, and he thought it was important that the inquiry should take that form, seeing that the steps taken by the Committee had not given satis- faction. Sir Charles Philipps remarked that that would entail considerable expense. The Director said he had no doubt Chief Inspector Bancroft would consent to meet on the spot those who were appointed to hold the iquiry on behalf of the committee, and that might satisfy those concerned. Mr. Stokes agreed. On the motion of Mr. W. P. Morgan, second- ed by Sir Charles Philipps the recoinmenda tion of the sub-committee was adopted. HAKIN NEW SCHOOL. It was reported that the contractors had com- pleted the internal work of this school, and the Director said the school would be ready for opening next Monday, April 26. THE BUDGET. Estimate.—The Financial Clerk submitted the estimates for the ensuing year which were duly considered and approved by the Com- mittee, and they recommend as follows:—(a) That for the purposes of Elementary Educa- tion a rate of lid. in the £ be levied, 6d. to be collected in the first half-year, and the re- mainder in the second half-year, (b) That precepts be issued upon special districts to produce a sum of £1,380, one half to be col- lected in the first half year and the remainder in the second half year. c) That for parposes of Higher Education a rate of 1d in the £ be levied, one halfpenny to be collected in the first half year and the remainder in the second half year. (d) That for purposes of Welsh In- termediate Education a rate of d in the £ be levied, to be collected in the first half year. (e) That the dates of payment bef determined by the County Council, (f) That the Estimates be submitted to the County Finance Commit- tee for acceptance, together with the-foregoing recommendations. Mr. Whicher, as chairman of the sub-com- mittee, said they were asking for an addition- al penny rate. Looking over the items, it would be observed that the principal reason for this increase was to be found in the teach- ers' salaries, which were one thousand pounds more than last year. This arose partly from the increments which were due now conse- quent upon the scale, and, to some extent, because the expenditure during the past year exceeded the estimate by £250. Further, they had to provide for the additional amount which would be required, by the new regulations coming into operation in August. He was glad to say that these new regulations would not affect them very considerably. Ninety per cent of their schools were at present staffed up to the requirements of the new Code, and they only required a sum of about £250 to bring up to the standard the remaining 10 per cent. that were now understaffed. Another new item was that for medical inspection; that had to be provided for now for the first time. Those two items practically accounted for the difference in the rate. He would move the adoption of the report. j Mr. W. P. Morgan, in seconding, said the Higher Education Committee were able to do on the same rate as before. He was all the more pleased to say that because many of the other counties in Wales were not able to do on so small a rate for that purpose. Three counties had to ask for 3d, and others for 2. and 2d. The report was adopted unanimously. APPOINTMENT OF COOKERY TEACHER. The Special Higher Education Sub-committee reported:— The applications for the post of teacher in domestic subjects were considered. The Com- mittee recommend that Miss M. A. Thomas, Gteat Vaynor, Clynderwen, and Miss M. E. Thomas, of Fishguard, be asked to meet the liducation Committee on Friday, the 16th inst., the unsuccessful candidate to receive travel- ling expenses. The Director read two testimonials from each candidate, and the ladies were interviewed by the Committee. When the vote was about to be taken Mr. W. T. Davies said: I beg to protest against this appointment, and as I shall not vote I will leave the room. Mr. Davies, accompanied by Dr. Griffith and Mr. James Harries then left the Hall, amid laughter. Miss M. A. Thomas received 13 votes and Miss M. E. Thomas 5, and the former was ap- pointed. She thanked the Committee for the honour, and expressed the hope that they would never regret the step they had taken. The reports of the othei sub-committees were then dealt with and adopted without discus- sion. SALARIES OF TEACHERS: £29,400. The Staffing Committee reported:— Estimate.—The Committee considered the es. timate for the enusing year. The statement of account was presented and the Committee re- commend that the Finance Sub-Committee be asked to provide £29,400 for the salaries of teachers for the year ending 31st of March, 1910. Before considering the estimate, the Com. mittee considered the Director's Report on the staffing of the schools in the County with special reference to the requirements of circu- lar 709 of the Board of Education. They con- sider the amount asked for sufficient to cover all liabilities on the score of the salaries of teachers for the coming year. The estimate for the year ended March 31st, 1909, was £28,400, and the actual expenditure £28,701, the excess of expenditure being ESTIMATE FOR BUILDINGS. The Buildings Sub-committee considered the estimate for the ensuing year and asked for £4,050 to meet the expenses of the committee. NEW GOODWICK SCHOOL. The same Committee recommended that the Architect be instructed to provide for 250 mixed and infant scholars in the plans for the new school at Goodwick, with a possibility of further extension. ATTENDANCE COMMITEE'S ESTIMATE. The Attendance Sub-Committee reported:— Estimate.—The Financial Clerk submitted his Estunate for the enusing year. The Commit- tee recommend the Finance Committee to make provision for the sum of £1,510 towards the expenses of this Sub-Committee. Reports of Attendance Officers.—On account of the great amount of sickness throughout the County the percentage of attendance for March is considerably below that of February.—O. Bancroft and J. Lawrence reported that they had been appointed officers in the Territorial Forces and asked for four days' leave-of ab- sence at Whitsuntide to go to camp. The Committee recommend that this be granted.— it was decided to prosecute in 10 cases. Dew Street Council School.—The School Medical Officer had authorised the closure of this School owing to epidemics. The Com- mittee recommend that the Managers be asked to get the school disinfected with carbolic soap. Closure of Schools.—It was reported that Lamphey and Manorbier Schools had been closed by order of the MeiTical Officer of Health. Medical Inspection.—It was decided to re- commend the sanctioning of the appointment of Dr. Mortimer Thomas, Goodwick as Medical Inspector.—It was resolved to empower the Director to arrange for the completion of the inspection of the schools in the St. Davids District. NOT THE HOUSE OF LORDS! In the report of the Finance Committee was a recommendation revising a propsal submitted by the Building Sub-committee. Dr. Griffith, chairman of the latter, said he did not know whether the Finance Committee considered themselves a sort of House of Lords, able to supercede all the other committees. That was the effect of what they had done, and whilst lie concurred with their recommendation he hoped that in future no committee would over- ride any other committee without first con- sulting them.

LETTERSTON. Annual Parish Council Meeting.—The annual meeting of the Letterston Parish Council was held at the National Schools on Saturday even- ing last, Mr. Moses Mathias (chairman) pre- siding. The chief business was the appointing of officials for the ensuing year, those present being Messrs. ffm. Lawrence, Thomas Richards Thomas John, John Davies, John Thomas, W. J. Morris, and the clerk (Mr. James John). The following appointments were made:—Chairman, Mr. Thomas John, butcher, Croeswen; vice- chairman, Mr. John Thomas, merchant; trea- surer, lr. W. J. Morris, Court House; over- seers, Alderman H. A. Williams and Mr. James John, Rhosdeny. The Late Mr. James Davies.—The funeral took place on Sunday of the late Mr. James Davies, of Llaindelyn, Letterston, whos death occurred the previous Thursday at the age of 72. The interment was at the new cemetery, the offi- ciating minister being the Rev. B. Thomas, pastor of Saron Baptist Church, of which de- ceased had been a member many years. A large number of friends and residents of the district attended. Forthcoming Eisteddfod.—We would remind our readers of the Eisteddfod at Saron Baptist Chapel on Wednesday next. The Committee have been very fortunate in the entries, as all the competitions appear certain to be produc- tive of interesting musical or elocutionary battles. There are four choirs entered for the chief piece, three for the male voice, and four for the children's. Com- petition is also promised for the prize offered for the ladies' choirs, whilst the solos, both adult and juvenile, and recitations will all be contested. The Rev. Glynfab Williams is the conductor. It may be jioted that the Com- mittee are providing refreshments from 1 to 10 p.m. in the new vestry where the accommoda- tion should be sufficient to meet all require- ments.

Fishguard New Petty Sessional Division. Preliminary Arrangements. At last week's meeting of the Standing Joint Committee the Chairman (Sir Charles Philipps) reported the approval of Quarter Sessions to the establishment of a Petty Sessional Division for Fishguard, and the re- muneration of the Clerk to be appointed was discussed. Mr Allen produced a tabulated statement as to the salaries paid to the clerks of other divisions. This showed that £220 was the total paid to the clerks of the Dewsland and Kemes divisions, £ go to the former and £130 to the latter. It was suggested that these sums should be reduced by amounts about equivalent to the salary to be paid the clerk of the new division. It was decided to inform the Fishguard bench that the Committee were prepared to pay £75 to the new clerk for the first year, subject to adjustment according to the fees and fines received. The Clerk was instructed to convene the first meeting of the magis- trates. An application was received from Mr D T Lewis, clerk to the Saundersfoot Bench, for an increase of his salary, which was £17 j. It was decided that the salaries of all the clerks should be considered and reported upon by a committee consisting of the follow- ing :—The Chairmon, Mr Allen, Mr Walters, Mr Charles Mathias, Mr Buckby, Dr. Griffith, and Mr E Laws.

NEWPORT NEWS ITEMS. C'E.T.S*—As recorded in our lasfc issue the last of the winter series of entertainments in connection with the C.E.T.S., was held on Thursday last at the Church Chapel. This entertainment was preceeded by a tea, which was given to all the members and those who took part in assisting these winter series of entertainments. The result of these meetings has proved most gratifying. The young mem- bers, coached by their teachers, have all worked hard for the great cause daring the past winter. Needless to say, much trouble has been entailed in arranging these interes- ting entertainments and the adults who have so readily added their portion by contributing items should be complimented for their readi- ness of action in assisting and upholding the great object for which they are fighting. The attendances have been most marked through- out the winter months, and the Rector feels most gratified at this result. The tea tables were nicely arranged in the Chapel, and were heavily laden with appetising and were presided over by lady members of the Church, justice being heartily done to the good things provided. A large quantity of sweets were afterwards distributed amongst the children. The entertainment which com- menced at 7 o'clock was presided over by Capt D Mathias. Accident.—Mr S. Williams, watchmaker, whilst cycling to St David's on Easter Mon- day, met with a nasty accident. It appears that he had passed Letterston Bridge, and in trying to avoid an approaching vehicle his machine skidded, and he was thrown heavily to the ground, receiving injuries to the face and shoulder, besides other bruises. We are pleased to learn that Mr Williams is gradu- ally recovering from his unfortunate mishap. Angladd.—Cymerodd angladd Mr Owen H Howells, myfyriwr, Caersalem, Ie dydd Iau diweddaf.

The annual Easter Vestry in connection wite St. Mary's Church was held on Thurs- day, when the following officials were present: —The Rector (Rev. D G Phillips), Capt. Mathias, Mr J Havard, Mr J Hughes, Mr H R Felix, Capt. James, Capt. Williams, Mr J J Brown, Mr Thos. Jenkins, and Mr D Lewis. The Rev. D G Phillips proposed a hearty vote of thanks to Capt. D Mathias, his warden, for the very able and efficient manner in which he had carried out his responsible duties, and the very great assistance which he had rendered him during the past year by transacting important church business, and said he had much pleasure in again re-appoint- ing him as his Churchwarden. It was proposed by Mr H R Felix, and car- ried, that Mr J Havard be again elected as people's warden. Mr J J Brown was appointed lay elector. Capt. Mathias presented his balance-sheet for the year ending Easter, 1909 this was duly audited and found correct, and tho man- ner in which it was presented showed that very careful and marked attention had been given the work. It was unanimously passed, and showed a most satisfactory result, having included tbe balance credit of the new organ fund, amouuting to £8 15s, which was handed over by the Rector and Churchwardens to the church funds, which, together with the offer- tories, made a total balance of £20 19s 5d to the credit of the church. During the past year many repairs and improvements had been carried out, especially in regard to the church- yard. The new organ recently placed in the church was paid for within fourteen months of its erection. Capt. Mathias moved a vote of thanks to the Rector, which was seconded by Mr H R Felix, for the able manner he bad so success- fully worked in providing for the erection of tho new organ. A motion was brought forward by Mr H R Felix, seconded by Oapt. James, and passed, that permission be asked of the rector for the erection of any future memorial stone in the churchyard, and that all earth and rubbish arising therefrom be carefully removed. It was also agreed that all burial fees be re- vised to the following scale :—Ordinary 7ft grave for parishioners, 95 6d re-opening old graves, 7S for every extra foot below 7ft, 2S 6d per foot extra. Non-parisioners, new grave, 15s; new graves for bricking (parisioners), 14s non- parishioners £I. A vote of thanks to the auditors (Mr H R Felix, and Mr T Jenkins) proposed by Capt T Mathias, seconded by Capt James, and car- ried, brought the meeting to a successful close. Two new sidesmen were added to the existing list, namely Mr W I Lewis and Mr F Lewis.
