MR. GEE'S CENSUS.
MR. GEE'S CENSUS. The following letter, written by Canon Bevan, of Hay, a most careful statistician, is reprinted from the Western Mail \— Mr Gee has recently communicated to the public the results of his so-called census of 1887. As there are no means at hand for testing the accuracy of his figures, they must pass for what tbey are worth as a mere ex parte statement proceeding from a hostile quarter. I may, however, draw attention to what seems to me a serious discrepancy be- tween these returns and the returns of the number of members" as given in the official reports of the more important Nonconformist bodies. A comparison of these latter with one another reveals the curious fact that if you divide the counties of North Wales into two groups, Eastern and Western, the number of members in the Western group is double of that in the Eastern group, the population being, of course, taken into account in each case. Now, it seems but natural to expect that the total strength of the bodies would be proportioned to the number of their members. But this is by no means the case; for, ac- cording to Mr Gee's figures, the attendance in the two groups vary only in the proportion of 74 per cent. in the Western and 60 in the Eastern. However this discrepancy is to be accounted for, it is undoubtedly worthy of observation, particularly in connection with the question of Welsh denominational statis- tics. For if the standard of piety in the two groups is at the same level, there must, one would think, be exaggeration either in the number of the members in the Western or in Mr Gee's census of the Fastern group. But a further result of the discrepancy is that the number of communicants can no longer be regarded as a sound basis for estimating the total strength of the bodies for if the factor that is to convert the number of members into the corresponding number of adherents or into the corresponding section of the total population is so uncertain, as it must be if both Mr Gee's census and the numbers of the members are equally true, what sort of calcu- lation can be founded on the data ? Apply to the Western group the factor supplied by the Eastern, and you find that the number of Nonconformists is in excess of the whole population, Apply to the Eastern the factor supplied by the Western, and there is ample room for a large majority of Churchmen in the former group. It is by the treatment of Wales as a whole that such fallacious esti- mates have been made as to the number of Churchmen; for instance, by the late Dr. Bees and by Mr Dillwyn in his speeches at Swansea in 1884 and in the House of Com- mons in 1886—estimates founded mainly on the returns of the Nonconformist bodies. If the simple expedient were tried of dividing Wales into Eastern and Western portions, it would be found that there is room in the former alone for a larger number of Church- men than Mr Dillwyn allowed for the whole of Wales. But the point which I wish to discuss in this letter is not so much the figures themselves as the deduction Mr Gee has drawn from them as to the relative growth of the two bodies in the interval that has elapsed between the censuses of 1887 and 1851. In an article which appeared in the Baner of the 12th ult., he states that the Nonconformist attendances at the morning and evening meet- ings of 1887 exceeded those of the correspond- ing meetings in 1851 by 97,345, while the Church attendances exceeded only by 36,017, whence he draws the conclusion that the increase of Nonconformity is three times as great as that of the Church. I purpose to inquire to what extent this conclusion is well- founded. It does not give me much confidence in Mr Gee as a statistician to find that at the very outset he makes a blunder to the amount of 3,482 in estimating the Nonconformist at- tendance at the evening meeting in 1851. This arises from his treating the afternoon service of the Church as if it were an "evening" one, and making use of its figures to calculate the amount of the Nonconformist attendance at the later period of the day. A far more serious flaw in his calculation arises out of the fact that he has omitted all reference to the Nonconformist afternoon attendance of 1851, amounting to 71,640. He may think this omission of no moment, inasmuch as he has in a similar manner omitted all reference to the evening attendance of Churchmen. But it is really of great moment in estimating the progress of each body independently of the other, and in determining whether Mr Gee is justified in representing the advance of the Nonconformist attendance as 97,345. It is perfectly certain that the afternoon meeting in 1851 drew off from the attendances at the morning and evening meetings, and much of the increase he has noted may mean nothing more than that the Nonconformists bestirred themselves earlier in the day in 1887, because there was no afternoon meeting on that occasion. This explanation receives con- firmation from the fact that the rate of ad- vance in the morning attendance in 1881 as compared with that in 1851 is doubly as great asin the evening attendance. It would have been more fair in Mr Gee to compare the total attendances at chapel on each occasion, in which case his surplus would have dwindled down to very small dimensions. If, however, he objects to this, I would propose as an alternative, and, indeed, as on the whole a fairer test, the inclusion of the Sun- day School attendance on both occasions, so that the total attendances might be taken in- to account. This would allow of the dis- tribution of the afternoon attendance of 1851 between the three meetings, and thus the parallel between the two censuses would be pretty well adjusted, for the Sunday School attendance in 1887 must have gained in numbers by the absence of the afternoon meet- ing which competed with it in 1851. Mr Gee has (somewhat singularly, as I think) omitted all reference to the Sunday School at- tendance of 1851. I suggest that he should make good this omission. I may notice a further point in which some adjustment is required in order to establish a lair comparison between the two censuses. The census of 1851 was, or, at all events, pro- fessed to be a census of religious worship." Such is its official title, and those who were enumerated are spoken of in the reports as worshippers." Mr Gee's census is one of at- tendance simply in which non-worshippers were included; for its directions were that the youngest infants (y babanod) were to be counted. It would, indeed, be a mistake to regard the meeting on the occasion of Mr Gee's census as in any sense one for religious worship. It might more truly be described as a political gathering for the purpose of pass- ing plebiscite in favour of disestablishment, for which purpose Mr Gee, of his grace, conferred the franchise on the babies of the Noncon- formist parents, on the sole condition that they were brought to the hustings. Nothing j of this sort was done in 1851, and in so far as the invitation to bring the babies was acted upon in 1887, the parallel between the two censuses is incomplete. Another most serious flaw in Mr Gee's calculation is that he omits all reference to the amount of the population at the time of each census. In his eagerness to show that Nonconformity had made more rapid strides than the Church, he has lost sight of the question whether it has advanced in reference to the population which is tantamount to asking whether it has advanced at all. It is, of course, perfectly possible that it may have increased in reference to its own original numbers, and yet have decreased in com- parison with the population. In other words, an absolute increase is one incompatible with a relative decrease. There is no official record (as far as I know) of the population of North Wales for any later date than 1881 but it is easy to form an approximative estimate for 1887 by assuming that the annual rate ef ad- vance has been equal to that which prevailed in the previous decennial period. The result of such a comparison as I have suggested, that is to say, between the total at- tendances of the day at chapel and school, taken in connection with the amount of popu- lation, will be to show (if my calculations are correct) that Nonconformity has receded in- stead of advanced. No such question arises with regard to the Church, for whatever figures we take, even the crude figures given in Mr Gee's article, it can be shown to have advanced. It has, if my calculation is correct, advanced just as much as Nonconformity has receded. And the combined effect of these movements sufficiently shows in which direction things are tending in North Wales. Let me not, however, be misunderstood as relying on the figuers of Mr Gee's census, or, indeed, of any attendance census, to furnish a secure basis for an exact calculation as to the relative strength of the two bodies, still less as to the more delicate question of their relative advance or retrocession. My contention is that an attendance census is absolutely worthless for such purposes. Mr Gee himself partly allows this when he asserts that his figures -11 place the attendances at the churches in much too favourable a light," in consequence, I suppose, of the trickeries, devices, threats, and bribes" of which he accuses churchmen. This is not the first time that Nonconformists have forced upon the Church a proceeding most repulsive to their feelings of reverence for God's house, and then have abused them for their conduct under the infliction. The truth is that the pro- ceeding is tainted with trickery from first to last-ttickery in obtaining the figures and trickery in manipulating them when obtained. If Mr. Gee can show that Nonconformity has advanced three times as fast as the Church in the 26 years that have elapsed between the censuses, and if I can show from the very same figures that the Church has advanced just in the same proportion as Nonconformity has receded, there must be either trickery or gross blundering on one side or the other. I do not say intentional trickery, because I have no wish to accuse Mr. Gee of that from which I believe myself to be free. But I may, perhaps, without offence assert that Mr Gee has not taken pains to look aU round the subject, and that if he had done so he would have abstained from commenting on his own figures in the unfair and ungenerous spirit he his ex- hibited.
THE WELSH INTERMEDIATE EDUCATION…
THE WELSH INTERMEDIATE EDUCATION BILL. A general meeting of Welsh members was held in one of the committee-rooms at the House of Commons on Tuesday last (Mr Stuart Rendel in the chair) to further discuss with Sir William Hart-Dyke the Intermediate Education Bill. At the outset of the pro- ceedings Sir William announced, on behalf of the Government, that he was willing to accept an arrangement whereby the education committee to be constituted under the Bill should consist of five members-three to be nominated by the county councils and two by the Education Department. This, however, Sir William added, was conditional upon the withdrawal of all amendments standing on the paper, whether proposed by one side or the other. Were these terms agreed to he would undertake to use his utmost endeavours to secure the passing of the Bill into law. Sir William's proposal was discussed at some length, with the result that the meeting cordially adopted it. The Conservatives members present at the meeting were the Hon. George Kenyon, Admiral Mayne, and Mr Swetenham.
IMPORTANT CASE UNDER THE AGRICULTURAL…
IMPORTANT CASE UNDER THE AGRI- CULTURAL HOLDINGS (ENGLAND) ACT, 1883. A claim which has excited much interest has just been heard and disposed of in Northumber- land. W. A. Gillespie, veterinary surgeon, of New- castle-upon-Tyne, was tenant, under the Duke of Northumberland, of the Dewley and Orescent farms (containing about 344 acres), from Lady- day, 1876, to Ladyday, 1889. Daring the tenancy he treated the holding in every respect in a most liberal manner, and on quitiing put in a claim as follows:- £ a. d. For unexhausted improvement by appli- cation of purchased dang .2,182 18 5 „ unexhausted value of purchased artificial manures 53 18 4 „ manurial residue left by the con- sumption of purchased feeding stuffs 63 6 7 „ laying down to permanent graS8- with consent 3,600 0 0 „ fixtures and improvements, &o., all made by tenant, and which land- lord can acoept or reject 1,481 17 3 The ablest arbitrators and witnesses in the North were employed in the case, and Mr Samuel Rowlandson, of Darlington, was appointed umpire. At the hearing, it was decided that only the purchased dung, artificial manures, and feeding stofik came under the Act, and owing to the difficulty of separating these from the ques- tion of laying land to grass (which came under the farm agreement), another submission was signed, leaving these portion of the claim also to Mr Rowlandson to decide. There was no difference of opinion as to the excellent farming. The great variance was, how long the improvement would continue, the tenant's witnesses putting it at 25 years, while those for the landlord at five or six years only The award under the Holdings Act was made on Juiy 1, and the sum awarded to the tenant is 2686 odd. The award for laying land to grass j under the farm agreement will be made this month. The sum for fixtures, &c., £1,484 17s. 3d. has been left to another sole arbitrator to settle. When all is settled the whole case, with a verbatim report of the evidence, &c., will, it is stated, be published by the tenant in a handy volume, and the farming community in the north await its appearance with some degree of im- patience.

At Exeter on Tuesday (before Justice Charles), Ada Smyth, a young married woman from Barn- staple, was charged with murdering her son, six months old. The prisoner who had returned from the Cape of Good Hope for the benefit of her health, was very fond of the boy, but one morning she told her father that the child was at rest, and immediately afterwards it was fonnd dead in the bath. The coroner's jury declined before the coroner, and again before the judge, to give any verdict. The prisoner was charged on the magistrates, warrant. Evidence proving insanity having been given, prisoner was ordetw to be detained during her Majesty's pleasure.
PRINCE GEORGE OF WALES AND…
PRINCE GEORGE OF WALES AND THE ROYAL NAVAL SCHOOL. ON Wednesday week, the ceremony of lay- ing the Memorial Stone of the new buildings of the Royal Naval School at West Chisle- hurst, and formally opening the same, was performed by H.R.H Prince George of Wales, K.G. The greatest enthusiasm pre- vailed, and the neighbourhood was dressed in its gayest colours. The Institution is to be congratulated on the change, as there can be little doubt that the health of the boys will be benefited by the fresh air and open country, which surround their new quarters, and the general interests of the school promoted. The Royal Naval School, was originated by Capt. W. H. Dickson, R.N., so far back as 1831, and was opened temporarily at Alfred House, Camberwell, two years afterwards. In 1843 the foundation stone of the building at present occupied by the school at New Cross was laid by H.R.H. Prince Albert. During the inter- vening period of 56 years, 3,180 boys have been educated at the Institution, 443 have become officers in the Navy, 136 in the Marines, and 226 in the Army—facts which speak for themselves as to the good work that is being done at this school. The new premises stand on the West Chislehurst Park Estate, and are situated about ten minutes' walk from Eltham Station. The building was formerly the private residence of Mr W. Hartley, and was originally erected at a cost of £ 25,000. The mansion has been considerably altered and enlarged for the purposes of the school, presenting with its additions an imposing site of buildings. The entrance, which is panelled with oak, is lighted from the ceiling, and is surrrounded on the first floor by a gallery, from which open out six dormitories, masters' and servants' apartments, and bathrooms. On the ground floor are six large class-rooms measuring 30ft. by 25ft.; and a passage communicates with the dining hall, which measures 80ft. by 27ft., and will accommodate 200 boys at a meal. The building, which is of pointed stock brick, with Portland stone dressings, is in the Italian style of architecture, and stands upon seven and a half acres of land, in addition to which there is a large cricket field of 10 acres in extent. In the rear of the school is a quadrangle, two fives courts, swimming bath, and a large gymnasium, con- taining all the most modem apparatus. The head master's house is also adjoining, and be- hind it is the bursar's residence. The whole of the alterations have been carried out under the directions of Mr. A. B. Hutcbings, architect, of 14, Victoria-street, at a total cost of between eight and nine thousand pounds. The ample grounds surrounding the building are well provided with timber, and the school windows command an extensive view over a wide lawn to the fields and trees beyond, which have as yet not fallen victims to the speculative builder. Four o'olock was the hour appointed for the opening ceremony, and happily some welcome gleams of sunshine brightened the busy scene in progress outside the mansion. The gravel path leading from the unfinished entrance gates to the front of the mansion was lined with visitors, many rows deep, whilst a still larger number of those who were unprovided with tickets had to content themselves with remaining on the outside of the low iron railings. A certain number of privileged guests were accommodated with seats beneath the noble sycamore tree that grows close to the south-eastern corner of the building, at which the memorial stone was laid. Here a dais was erected, covered by an awning-a wise and necessary precaution as events proved. A guard of honour, under the command of Captain T. W. Hutchings, of the 3rd Volunteer Kent Brigade, Cinque Ports Division, R.A., was drawn up in front of the entrance. At the request of H.R.H. the Duke of Edinburgh the band of the Royal Marines, Chatham Division, was also in attendance, and played a lively selec- tion of music. The boys of the Royal Naval School were formed up in line in front of the mansion, the carriage way being kept clear for the artival of the Prince and other distinguished visitors. Many thousands of persons were present in the grounds, which presented from the upper windows a brilliant spectacle, in the interval of sunshine which fortunately lasted till the completion of the proceedings. His Grace the Archbishop of Canterbury the Lord Bishop of Rochester, and the clergy and choir taking part in the ceremony, robed in the respective class-rooms set apart for the purpose. Amongst those who accepted invitations were Lord Brassey, Lady Burdett Coutts, the Countess Clan- william, Lady Eley Meade, Lady McClintock, the High Sheriff of Kent (Mr Sebag Monte- foire), Sheriff Newton, Under-Sheriff Halse, Sir John Monckton, Lady S. Wilson, Sir John and Lady Pender; the Right Rev. Montsignor Goddard, General Jones (Deputy Adjutant-General of the Royal Marines), Col. and Mrs Suther, Col. and Mrs. Crease, the Warden of the Drapers' Company, the Warden of the Salters' and Leathersellers' Company, Mr H. G. Dickson (son of Capt. W. H. Dickson, the founder), Mr Ashmead Bartlett, M.P., Sir Samuel Lewis, Rev. Sackett Hope, Col. Delacomb, Sir Fred Smythe, &c., The following members of the Council and officials were also present. :-The Earl of Clanwilliam, K.C.B., Vice-Admiral C. T. Curme, the Rev. J. R. Magrath, D. D., Major-General Gordon, S. Morris, Vice- Admiral H. H. Beamish, C.B., Admiral H. Boys, V.P., the Rev. Canon Carver, D.D, Capt. Sir J.C.R. Colomb, R.M.A., Rev J.C. Cox Edwards, M.A., the Ven. S. Cheetham, D.D. Capt. the Hon. E. S. Dawson, R.N., Lieut-Gen. Henry Kent. V.P., Capt. Sir Lambton Loraine, Bart., R.N., General Sir R. Meade, K.C.B.I., Mr J.W.S. Meiklejohn, M.D., Rev. S. Fitzhardinge Morton, M.A., Mr. R. Gofton Salmond, Major R. A. F.: Studdert, R.M.A., Mr Joseph Whittall, R.N., the Rev. James White M.A. (head master and chaplain), Mr. Braithwaite Arnett, M.A. (master in charge of the naval department), Mr, A. B. Hutchings (architect), Dr. F. G. Larkin (medical officer), Mr G. F. Jessop, F.R.S. (Bursar), Lieut.-Col. S. H. B. North- cote, R.M.A. (Secretary), and Mrs. Collins (matron of the school). Amongst the clergy who were present, in addition to those named were the Rev. Evelyn Hone (vicar of St. John's, Lewisham Highroad), Rev. W. Stone (vicar of Eltham), Rev. F. H. Murray (rector of Chislehurst), Rev. C. B. P. Viner (rector of Mottingham), Rev. T. A. Purvis (curate in charge of New Eltham), &c. His Royal Highness, who travelled to Eitham by a special train from Charing Cross, arrived on the scene a few minutes past four, accompanied by Lord Clanwilliam, and Col. Stanley Clarke. At the entrance hall the Earl of Clanwilliam, as Chairman of the Reception Committee, presented to his Royal Highness the members of the Committee, the Head Master, and Secretary. A procession was then formed to the dais at the comer of the building, on one side of which the clergy find surpliced choir had taken up their position. His grace the Archbishop of Canterbury J then offered up the prayer that was used at the original laying of the foundation stone at New Cross, on June 1st, 1843, having special reference to the education of the boys at that institution. The Rev. J. White, M.A. (head master), read an address of welcome to Prince George. The address alluded to the chief events in the history of the school, and referred to the large number of successful scholars that had been sent forth. After expressing the desire that the institution might continue to maintain the traditions of the past, the address concluded with an expression of hope that her most gracious Majesty and all the Royal Family might continue to enjoy happiness and pros- perity, and the love and reverence of a loyal people. His Royal Highness, in reply, said: My Lord and gentlemen-I have received your address with very great pleasure, and I can assure you that it affords me much satisfaction to have been able to come here to perform the ceremony of opening this handsome new build- ing, and to lay the corner-stone of this useful school. I may add that I feel more than ordinary interest in this Institution from the close connexion it bears to the noble profession to which I have the honour to belong (hear, hear), and from the sympathetic support which members of my family have always accorded to it. I experience much gratification at hearing that during the 56 years that have passed since the foundation of the school so many of its pupils have achieved success and distinction in the various walks of life to which they have been called. Among them I may, perhaps, be permitted to mention two names—that of Lieutenant-General Kent, head of the school when the first stone of the build- ing at New Cross was laid by my grand-father Prince Consort, and who is present here to-day as vice-president; and secondly, the name of the late Professor Drew, to whom as tutor to my brother and myself we are both So much indebted. Professor Drew was a man who possessed considerable talents and attainments, and was a thorough master of his work, and we entertain a feeling of sincere respect and regard for his memory. I sincerely trust that the success and prosperity which have attended the school, first at Camberwell and subsequently at New Cross, will follow it to its new site, and that it will continue in the future, as it has done in the past, to pursue the path which under the wise administration of the council it has hitherto followed with so much advantage to the children of our poorer comrades in the service. I cannot better con- clude than by making an announcement which I feel sure you will all receive with very great pleasure, namely, that the Drapers' Company and the Salters' Company, in a most liberal spirit, which I trust will be imitated by other City Companies, have each founded a scholarship for the school (loud applause). Major-General Kent said:—May it please your Royal Highness, I have now the dis- tinguished honour, by the desire of the Build- ing Committee, to hand to your Royal High- ness the original bottle, placed under the Royal Naval School at New Cross on the first of June, 1843, on the anniversary of Lord Howe's great victory, when I had the dis- tinguished honour of being one of the head boys who presented an address to the dear and good Prince Consort-dear to science, dear to art, dear to every English speaking country under the wide canopy of Heaven, whose irreparable loss we all deplore and shall ever deplore unto our lives' end.—(The bottle con- tained papers, and the coin of the realm, and was half full of liquid, which had been turned a bright green colour by the action of the copper coins. The new glass bottle also con- tained current coins and a programme of the proceedings, and was engraved on the outside, Royal Naval School. This bottle was placed in the original foundation stone by H.R.H. Prince George of Wales, 17 July, 1889.") His Royal Highness was then presented by the architect with a silver inscribed trowel and a silver mounted mallet, and proceeded to perform the ceremony, with the prescribed formula, amidst applause. The memorial stone was the same that was laid by the Prince Consort at New Cross in 1843. The Lord Bishop of Rochester offered up Archbishop Laud's prayer for a blessing on the studies in the Institution. His Grace the Archbishop of Canterbury then offered Bishop Ken's prayer of Thanks- giving, following which the choir sang the 100th Psalm, accompanied by the band. The Archbishop of Canterbury pronounced the prayer, God save our Church, our Queen and Realm, and this our School, and send us peace in Christ," and then closed the ceremony with the Benediction. As the band struck up Rule Britannia," his Royal Highness left the dais, and was conducted through the school buildings by the Architect and members of the Committee. At the close of the inspection, on the request of the Senior Vice-President, the new school Was declared open by the Prince. General Sir R. Meade proposed, and Vice- Admiral C. T. Curme seconded, a vote of thanks to Prince George, who, in responding, expressed his pleasure at being present, and regretted that he bad so short a time. His Royal Highness was then driven back to the Eltham Station, and returned to town by the special train. Whilst the opening ceremony was proceed- ing, frequent peals of thunder were heard in the distance, and immediately upon the com- pletion of the formalities, a heavy shower of rain scattered the large crowd in all directions. Directly the ticket holders were admitted in- side the school on the departure of Prince George, the building speedily became thronged with people, whose curiosity to inspect the new premises was doubtless coupled with a desire to escape from the inclemency of the weather outside.
