Lloyd said that before the meeting of the Board of Guardians ended he felt it to be his dutv :o thank Mr. \Vatkins for the kind way in winch lie proposed, at the last meeting, that he (.Ur. Lloyd, be co-opted a member, and the gentle- man who'seconded the proposition, and all the other members, for the kind way in which they treated him. He was very much obliged to them all (hear, hear. and applause). Mr. LIovd was very warmly greeted on his return bv the members generally, as was also Mr. Eyan Davies. late Du?oidvdd, the other co-opted member. 'Mr. Llovd added that his health had been bad for some vears now, but he assured them all that so far a., his health permitted he would, out of his gratitude to them"trv to be as regular and punctual in hi-, attendance as he possibly could, and would -endeavour to carry out his duties faithfully (ap- plause). jC' Chairman—1 am quite sure that we are all to have the two old members again back aiiioii,t us.

Rural District Council The annual meeting of the Rural District Council wa;- held afterwards. On 'lie motion of Mr. Daniel Lewis, seconded by M). Mabon Davies, Mr. Lewis Roderick was voted to the chair pro tern. I. Roderick said that the first business was to elect a chairman for the ensuing year. He had grear pleasure in submitting the name of Mr. Reea Lewis, BrownhiM, who was an old and faithful mem- ber. M). Thomas Williams, Cwmllynfe, said he had the greate:-t possible pleaseure in seconding the proposi- tion. Mr. Lewis, as they all knew, had always beo) iii(-)ft regular in his attendance, took a. keen interest in the work of the council, and was thorough- ly up in the duties that lie would be called upon to discharge. He was very glad to have the privilege of proposing his old friend and neighbour (applause). Mr. Daniel Lewis supported. Mr. Rees Lc.wts was declared elected unanimously. Mr. Lewis suitably acknowledged The honour con- ferred upon him, and assured his fellow members Ir that it. would be his endeavour to consc'entiously faithfuUv and impartially discharge the duties of the omce He appealed for their support in carrying out 'nf' work. and felt sure that they would extend it to him as they had to his predecessors In the chair (app)ausp). ¡ Mr. W. Evans proposed, and Mr. Roderick secon- <,0,.1, rhat Mr. Daniel Lewis, Ynysyborde, be ap- pointi'd vice-chairman. Mr. Pryse-Rice proposed, and His Honour Judge bishop seconded, that Mr. W. Mabon Davics, Glan- sawdde. be vice-chairman. Mr. Lewis Roderick did not think that the amend- ment was quite in order. For some years now it had been the nractice of that Board to appoint as Ylp-('11airman the gentleman who wou)d he cha'r- T'nn in the ensuing year. and he wished to adhere ï that nrincinie, so that each parish would hwp a chance 'n Its tnrri. He pointed out that Mr. Davies fGlamawd.dc) had already passed through the chajr. Some discussion followed as to the advisability o? app01lltll1::r two vice-chairmen, but It was pointec ? thnt In that case a diniculty would arise as to ?'hioh sho?d succeed to the chair the following U;. Roderick said that were it not for the princt- pie involved, to which he had just referred, he would have ;;upported the appointment as vice- chairman of Mr. Mabon Davies. Judge Bishop asked the members of what parish had not passed through the chair. Mr. Thomas Williams said that so far as he could remember Liansadwrn had not. previous to that day, had any of its members in the chair. The same applied to the parish of Llanwrda, Llanfair- n.r-y-bryn had been represented for several years in the past. Mr. Lewis Roderick made a personal appeal to Mr. -Mabon Davies to support his proposition in order that they couid adhere to the principle of having each parish in its turn represented in the chair. He did not approve of the scheme when it was first introduced, but now that they had adopted the principle he hoped they would stick to it. If Mr. Mabon Davies would graciously allow the Council to adhere to the principle he assured him that he would always support him in the future as long as he remained on the Council, t Mr. M. Davies was understood to say that Cily- cwm and had had their t-urn. Re- John Jones said this was a new Council elected on the 4th of April. Were they bound by the acts of a former Council. He did not express an opinion, but merely suggested. The Chairman—I don't think It is binding in that way. Mr. Mabon Davies said that assuming they adop- ted the rule every member of the Council would be ¡'Jig-ible for the chairmanship, In which case they might occasionally find that the person whose turn It was was unsuited for the position. Judge Bishop, referring to the principle touched upon by Mr. Roderick, said that although they were a new Board, he thought the rule was a. very good one, which they might very well carry out. They would thu.go and each parish would have the chairmanship in Its turn. Mr. Davies. RhybHd, suggested the appointment of two vice-chairmen. Mr. Tudor Lewis—You would In that case have to say which was the first vice-chairman. On a division there voted for Mr. Daniel Lewis, Ynysyborde, seven, and for Mr. Mabcn Davies, eight. The latter was therefore declared elected. Mr. Mabon Davies said he thanked them very much for the honour they had conferred on him that day. He would never ask them any more. Mr. T. Williams—You didn't ask to-day. Mr. Davie.s admitted that to be so, but added that he had been rather stifF. The Clerk submitted his estimate of receipts and expenditure for the ensuing half-vear. This showed the estimated receipt!- to be JE1.508, and estimated expenditure jEl.528. This wouM Jeave an estimated balance of JE180. Calls at 6d. in the JE. payable in June and August, would be required.

The Local Government Board wrote sanctioning 'the expenditure of jB68 upon outside staircases to the Workhouse, and the contractor was instructed to proceed with the work. CALLS. The Clerk produced an estimate for calls and made the following observations on the estimates for the half-year ending Michaelmas, 1910: The amount esti- mated to meet expenses 'for the half-year eadmg 29th September next is JM276 and is made up as follows:—For Poor Rate purposes, JB1,864; iess amounts standing to the credit of the parishes at Ladvdav 1910, .E482, leaving jBl,282; for County and Education purposes, J61,894; total, JM,276. The pre- sent estimates exceed those of the corresponding period of Ias[ yenr (viz., .82,992) by .S284. Thei;i- crea.se is accounted for as follows:—The sum of .674 is provided for in the present calls for the additional stair-case to the Workhouse as well as election ex- penses: the County and Education Rate is increased by JB175: and the balances standing to the credit of the parishes are less by :E35; total..8234. LAMPKTER RURAL DISTRICT COUNCIL. The present estimates exceed those of the corres- ponding ha)f of last year by the considerable sum of .6220. Th<? expenditure for the la?-t half-year has been considerable, and has had the efYett of creating an adverse balance in the accounts of all the parishes for that period. The total adverse batance is J6108. The estimate expenses amount to E528, to which is added the averse balance of JE108, making- a total of JB654. 'The corresponding period iast vear was JE:454.

Thoma Ione& (LIangranog), S. Rees Morgan, Rev. Evar Evans, Mrs. L. N. Morgan (Lampeter'), Mrs. Reef (LIandyssul). and Miss Kimpster; together with the Director of Education (Mr. James). GARTHELI SCHOOL. A letter was read from the owner of the site chosen for building a new school at Gartheli, stating that at the consultation with Councillor R. S. Roberts and Alderman W. J. Lloyd, who were appointed to TO into the matter, the terms agreed upan were— .6105 for an acre of the land, or JB75 for half an acre. The letter asked what the Committee intended doing in the matter. The Director of Education explained That at the [ast meeting the Committee decided to go in for half an acre. The Chairman stated that they were then under the impression that they could purchase half an acre at the same rate as one acre. Now they found that the price was JE75 for half an acre and JB105 for one acre. In view of this he thought .if, would be better to go in for one acre. Replying to ,} question as to what. the Committee would do with the whole acre, the Chairman stated hl\t the land would be very useful for a garden as welL Mr. C. M. Williams thought that half an aero wou!d be ample for a garden as well. because it was only a small school. The land was also rather ",xt>f>o¡;,ive. The (chairman said that there was no other land available in the neighbourhood. It was the cheapest they pou!d get. Rev. Dr. Dame! Evnns—Could we soil the land In (>R, found we do not wnnt it? The Director of Education—Yef. Tt w:)A decided To purchase an acre of land. PARISH COUNCILS AXD EXTENSION LECTURES. A fetter wa" read from the Registrar of Abcrys- .wyth ÇnivNsity College with reference to the cst of conveying laundry articles from Ciliau Aeron to Abery.stwyth. The clerk of the Ciliau Aeron Parish Council wrote stating that his Council was only responsible for the cost of conveyance to Ciliau Aeron. Mr. J. H. Davies (Registrar University CoUege, Aberystwyth) explained that the rule with regard tc :he dairy classes, laundry classes, and cookery classes was that the College Authorities pay the cost.. but they received JB10 from the County Council in respect of them. When the various utensils wer< conveyed from one centre to another, the Colleg< Authorities paid the fare to the nearest class centre Then this class centre sent them on to the nearest centre to them and 60 on, but the last centre t<. receive, them had to pay twice—not only defray tbf oof-t of conveying them from the preceding centre but had to be responsible for their conveyance bacl- :o Aberyatwyth. He thought it was high time tha.< the County Council should grant an increased fee. O! do something else to get over the dimculty. Thr various parishes had these classes for nothing, but he had no doubt that there was a dimculty in smaF ilaces to raise 30s. or so towards the expenses. It was not fair that the College Alfthorities should pay ;his cost, because they had lost on the classes. Rev. Dr. Daniel Evans suggested that it should be stipulated that when parishes undertook to have a course of these classes, they should pay for the return of the utensils. The matter was referred to the Finance Corn mittee to report upon. PETITION FOR A NEW SCHOOL. The Director of Education read a petition signed by 113 householders and inhabitants of the parishes of Aberporth. Blaenporth, and Penbryn fop the pro vision of a new school at Aberporth. The petitioners pointed out that there were 60 householders in thf district whose children under 14 years of age number 108. There was at present in the district a non- provided school, but the building was old and in- idequate. and did not conform with the require- ments of education authorities. The petitioners also stated that they were Nonconformits, and had a conscientious objection to their children being caught the tenets of the Church of England. There were only nve Church of England householders in the district, and their chi'dren of school age num- bered 12. They therefore prayed that the Com- mittee would provide a new school, and take steps to get a grant from the legislature towards the cost. The Chairman said a strong case had been pre- sented to them for a new school. Mr. If J. R. Loxdale said the cheaper course would be for the existing non-provided school to be taken over if that was possible. The Chairman—There is certainly a possibility of doing that. A committee of Inquiry was appointed to go into the matter. FINANCE CLERK RESIGNS. Having accepted the position of chief clerk at the University College, 'Aberystwyth, Mr. C. B. Hicks wrote resigning his position as finance clerk to the committee. The resignation was a<'cepted, and Mr .Hicks con- gratulated on his appointment, and it was decided o advertise for a successor. SCHOOL CONDUCT. The Chairman reported that the sub-committee ap- pointed to hold an inquiry into the conduct and Management of the Eglwysfach Council School had met, T)ut they were not yet in a position to submit [heir report on the matter. TEACHERS' SALARIES. The next item on the agenda was to oon&ider the question of bringing the head-teachers of non-pro- vided schools under the scale of salaries. Mr. R. J. R. Loxdale suggested that the matter be deferred to see whether the Committee could :,ake over some of the non-provided schools. If the matter was explained to the managers, he thought thev would agree to some of the schools bemg sanded over. it was better to have all schools under one head. Rev. T. Arthur Thomas—That is what we would ike. Mr. Robert Ellis said it seemed to him that the Committee were subjecting head-teachers of non- provided schools to punitive treatment. The matter had been deferred for the last two years at least, and he did not think they were justified in deferring it anv further. Non-provided school teachers had Lo do the same work, and were subjected to <the same examinations as other teachers. He proposed that the head-teachers of non-provided schools be brought under the scale of salaries. Mr. J. C. Harford thought it was a shameful thing that they in Cardiganshire should make a dis- tinction which the law did not allow, and which the ate judgment in the Swansea case had proved to be unfair. They as a Committee were very keen on education, and he saw no reason why they should H'cat one set of teachers worse than another set. He seconded the proposition of Mr. ElliN Mr. Lima Jones said It was practically certain that the managers of non-provided schools would re- fuse to hand over their schools. Therefore it would be better to settle the matter that day. The assistant at non-provided schools were being paid the same as the assistant teachers at provided schools. The same equality prevailed in the case of the cleaners, and why should they make a distinction to harass the head-teachers of non-provided schools only. The majority of these head-teachers were in favour of secular education, but they had no voice In the matter at all. Therefore they as a Committee were penalising the wrong party. Let them concen- trate their efforts and fight the real enemy. It was not manly to strike behind the back as it were. They Had no fault to find with the head-teachers oi non-provided schools, and they certainly deserved to be placed on the same scale of salaries as other bead-teachers. There was not a school in Wales at the present time that maintained itself out of the Government grants alone. Every school—provided and non-provided—was partly supported by the rates. They should not harass the head-teachers, but nght the managers. TII' Dr. Daniel Evans said that r": Mr. Lima Jones had introduced it. he would like to know at thr- nexr meeting what amount was ont of the rfi' towards rh(> support of ton-prm'idpd ú:lj()ol1' in the county during the last financial vca. Mr. Lima Jones—Is there a single school not "UP- ported by the 'atE'¡:) Mr. Loxdale snid he did not think the ccurf-e he h:](l sug¡!tf.d wcmld li"lld to any of thl' +0a('h.r;; fretted unfairly.

A VILLAGE SENSATION DEVON GIRL'S RESCUE. Three miles north of Tiverton lies the pretty Til- lage of ChevitJtorne. where lives a young girl of seventeen, Maud Brock by name. Miss Brock'? history having excited considerable interest the "Daily Western Times'' obtained an latter-view. The following is Mi.-s Brock's statement. Y\h";t I was hf'een I grew very depressed; any exertion made my Jimbs and back ache. As time wctit < n I sun'<'red more and more; my face went pale. I also had uam about my heart, and when I climbed the stair.- my heart fluttered violently. Sometimes I could not walk the length of the room without almost fainting. My appetite was poor and whatever I ate gave indigestion. I used to retire at nights exhausted. but wh-n I got into bed I was so disturbed by the nuttermgs of my heart that I could not sleen. CHEVITtiORNE. ?? ??th. ? Broch's hc)yne X "One medical man, after long treatment, said that my only chance was to go away for a complete change. I did so, but seemed to get worse. On tmy return home mother scarcely recognised me. for I had wasted to "kin and bones." At this stage Mrs. Brock remarked:— People said that my daughter was going into decline; but I happened to read of cures ejected by Dr. WtHiams' Pink Pi]Js for Paie People. So I gave Maud a regular course. Now. there isn't a healthier g'r! than my daughter. Resuming'. Miss Brock continued:— "After I had taken the contents of two boxes of the Pi)!s my appetite steadily returned. I slept well at nights and wakened in the mornings refreshed. Dr. Wiliiamt-' Pink PHis gave me New Blood and a splendid colour: also I gained weight, strength and f good spirits. People said they could never have believed such a change to be possible."

I WELSH NATIONAL SHOW ARRANGEMENTS FOR THE MEETING AT LLANELLY. A joint meeting of the council of the Welsh X ational Agricultural Society and the council of 5 the Carmarthenshire Agricultural Society was held tat the Mackworth Hotel. Swansea, on Friday last, ?to make arrangements lor the National Society s tshow at LlaneJIy on August Bank HoIIdav and fol- lowing day. This is the first time for the show to emigrate from Abcrvst%vtl, Mr. D. T. Alexander (Cardiff) was voted to the chair, on the proposition <of Mr. Greaves (iord-lieutenant of CarnarYom.hire). ) In consenting to do so, Mr. Alexander said that pt was clearly evident that he had been asked to do so with the object of assisting them in bringing about a better position of matters in connection with the Welsh National Society than had hitherto exÏJ;;ted. He pointed out that he had declined previously to have anything to do with the society on account of its determination to hold the show at Aberystwyth every year. not because he had anv feeling of mdinerence. towards Aberystwvth. but ?because it must be patent to everyone that Aber- ?ystwyth was so situated as to be most inaccessible' ?to exhibitors. L'pon the understanding that the ?show would become migratory, and a!so on th? ?understanding that whenever the Roval and Bath tand West? Societies visited South Wa)es. the council Bof the Welsh National Society wouid undertake to tco-operate with them and not hold shows in opposi- tion. he would be willing to do what he could to Bassist them. ? t Previously (Mr. Alexander went on) he had been subject to a good deal of discourtesy, and the same discourtesy had been shown towards the Rovai and Bath and West Societies, and these being the two prominent societies in the kingdom which periodi- cally visited the Principality, he was not inclined to do anything to assist the National Society unless the latter were prepared to throw in their interests with those societies when they visited Wales. It was to the interest of the National Society that the other shows should be encouraged, as they were held upon a much larger scale than the National could expect to be. The chairman's remarks were endorsed bv the members present, and it was unanimously decided to ask the chairman to co-operate with the' National Society with the object of facing it on a better footing and securing that in the future the show phou'd be held at different niaccs throughout the Inncipahty. The meeting also agreed that the society should not act in opposition to the Roya! and Bath and West. It was decided to onTer .675 for a band contest on the first day. the successful band to give its services on the second day. It was also decided to hold sheep dog trials. I Mr. Greaves quite agreed that a mistake had been reclined. Sir Edward Pryse hoped that under the new system the subscription list would be greatly aug- mented." It was decided that a sub-committee should be elected to examine and revise rules. It was also decided to ofier :b20 for timbering and splicing com- petitions. Sir E. Pryse and Mr. D. Davies. M.P.. were eiected to represent the society at the forthcoming conference at 'LIandnndod. to' urge the claims of Wales to a share of the development grants under the Budget. The Chairman, the Lord-lieutenant of Carnarvon- shire, and Sir E. Pryse were anointed a com- mittee to look into the whole asnect of the position of the society and to reoort to a meeting of the society to be held at LlaneIIv.

did not ha.e a voice in the appointment of bead- teachers for non-provided schools. They simply had to ratify them when they came before them. They bad a case in point the other day, when the best tea- cher was not appointed, but the one appointed was a ember of the Church of England. If the managers of the non-provided schools felt that their teachers received too little in salary, let them pay for re Hgious teaching themselves. It was a grand princi- ple that all these schools should be handed over. Mr. Harford was delighted with the judgment in the Swansea case so far as it went. How did the Board of Education feel in the matter. They felt it was a scandalous shame that the authority should be aken from the local committee to say what salary should be paid to the teachers. So far the Board of Education had supported the local authority. He wa& going to give notice of motion for the present scale of salaries to be cancelled altogether. What- ever the judgment of the House of Lords would be. they were perfectly safe in cancelling the scale. There was a very strong feeling in the county with reference to the non-provided schools. They as a Committee were being asked to put the head-teachers of the Church of England Schools on the same foot- ing- as their own teachers, when they had no more to do with thc'ir appointment than the man in the moon. He would object on nrincipte to increasing their salaries by a shilling as' he would to £200 o; .6200. If these schools were. handed over they would ?e managed much better. They would not then be compromising princip?M which were dear to them. Mr. J. H. Davies said he would agree to Mr. Loxdale'f proposal without prejudice, and provided the teachers would not suffer afterwards. Mr. Loxdale—1 daresay many teachers would be very glad to :see the schools handed over. Mr. Lima Jones said that ail the assistant teachers were under one scale of sauries. Why then make a difference in the case of the head-teachers. Mr. C. M. Williams—We have no scale of salaries for assistant teachers. Mr. Lima Jones—That is quibbling. Mr. John Rees, who is a schoolmaster at Pont- rhydfendigaid, said the National Union of Teachers would be heartiiy glad to see all schools under public control. Thpv had now to serve two masters—the non-provided schoo) managers directed them one way and the Education Committee another way. The Director of Education would tell them that he had found the non-provided school teachers as loval and as faithful as any of the other teachers in the county. The non-provided teachers were in reality their comrades. They fought the same battle a? they did, and did their best to delete the clause from the Act in regard to non-provided schools. Why ounish the teacher poor fellow who had nothing to do with it, but was under the thumb of two parties. Mr. D. J. Williams said there were sixteen schools in the Tregaron Union, and onlv one of them wa" non-provided. It was very hard that the headmaster of that. school should be the only one not put under the -,cale of salaries. Mr. Peter Jones said he was rather surprised to see Nonconformists attaching a disability to these tochers. They had always contended against dis- qbmt)? owing to their convictions as Noncon- tormists, and now they were nractising t.ho<? same nnncip!es against those associated with the Church f?-. ?'? head-teachers rendered service which was identical with that rendered bv the teachers of nrovided schools.

TEACHER CANDIDATES. The Finance Committee rcommended for adop- tion the following resolution submitted by the federation of Education Committees (Wales and? Monmouthshire), viz. :Tbat in the opinion of the? Committee it is undesirable that any candidate should' be admitted to a Training College unless he or she! has received at least 12 months' training in the an. ot teaching somewhat similar to that for student teachers. The resolution was adopted. SCHOOL ASSESSMENTS. From the minutes of the Finance Committee it appeared that instructions were given for an inquiry to be made into the assessments of the various school buildings with a view to an appeal being made against any assessments that might appear excessive. ? EVENING CONTINUATION SCHOOLS. A communication, was read to the Finance Com- mittee from. the Board of Education pointing out that the method of payment whereby head teachers' ct evening continuation schools received a varia-bie? salary dependent upon the number qualifying forj grant-earning purposes was not in the opinion of the; Board an entirely satisfactory one. The Director of Education was instructed to consult Mr. D. E Jones. H.M. Inspector of Schoo's, with reference io! the matter. N SUPPLEMENTARY TEACHERS. B The cases of the under-mentioned supplementary' teacher. recommended for increase of salary having been referred back, the committee af:er cnyjng fuM< consideration to each case aecided to recommend the: foUowmg increase as from January 1st, 1910 :-Janej Davtes. Tregroes Council School: Li!v Todd, Capel! Cynon Council Scnool: A. M. James, Penyparc. Council School, each from JB25 to jE:30: Ellen Thomas. Taigarreg Council School, from JC20 to. i!25.—The recommendations were adopted Je GRADING OF SCHOOLS. 6 The Finance Committee had had under consldera-? tion <) return prepared by the Director showing the grade to which each Council school belonged fort the purposes of the scale of salaries, the averagej attendance for the last three years, and the amount.? of salary now received by the head teachers. The? committee found that in the case of the undermen-? tioned schools the average attendance had decreased' since the adoption of the scale, and that accordingly? the school had fallen into a lower grade: LIangybi.S Cwmy?twyth, LIannhangel-v-creuddvn. LIangwyrv c fon, Tregaron, and Felinfach Council Schools. It'did not seem to the committee desirable that in any of these cases the salary at present received should be reduced, and it was decided to recommend that the salaries be fixed at the amounts given at the pre- sent time. The committee also recommended tjiat in future the grade to which any particular school or department belonged should be determined by the average attendance for the last three successive years. The recommendations of the committee were adopted- ? EDUCATION ESTIMATES. Estimates of the amounts'required to be raised by rate to meet the expenses to be incurred for elemen- tary and higher education for flip year ending 51st March. 1911. having been' laid before the Finance Committee. It was resolved to recommend to the County Council the levying of rates as follow":—(a) A rat? of 8gd. In the JB for the purposes of eiemen-t tary education, of which 4d. is to be raised during the nrst. half year; (b) a rate of 2d. in the JB for the purposes of higher education: (c) a rate of ?d. In th? j3 for the purposes of intermediate education. t LAMPETER OFFER REFUSED. The Finance Committee had had under ccn-idcra- tion a recommendation made by the Lannieter Dis- trict Committee that the cfier of Mr. W. Jones, Lampeter. to sell a plot of land lying contiguous to the playground of Bryn-road School at j685 for 30 feet frontage for the purpo of erecting thereon a master's house, be accepted. I The committee recommended that the offer be not accepted., and this recommendation was adopted, NUMBER OF MANAGERS INCREASED. It was decide! on the recommendatio)] of the Î Finance Committ-ec to increase the number of mana- gers for each group of schoois in the Tregaron dis- trict from six to twelve. AGRICULTURAL DEPARTMENT. Professor C. Bruner Jones, of the Agncultura) Department. A beryv<vth College, submitted a re- port. in which he stated that many requests for ad. vice on agricultural matters had been received from farmers and others resident in Cardiganshire. Every effort was being made to encourage farmers to take advantage of the department, and he pointed out that arrangements had been made whereby farmers might have samples of milk tested at the College at a minimum rate. The Director of Education stated that the corn mir.tee made a g'ant last year of JB10 towards the department. It 'as decided to make a similar grant thi-. year
