EDUCATIONISTS IN CHESTER. LANCASHIRE AND CHESHIRE INSTI- TUTES. ) PAPER BY LORD STANLEY. I LESSONS FROM SCOTLAND. On Thursday the sixtyYenth annual conference of the Union of Lancashire and Cheshire Insti- tutes was held at the Town Hall, Chester. The Mayor of Chester (Alderman R. Lamb) pre- presided at the opening, and there were also present, among others, Lord Stanley of Alderley, Lieut.-Colonel T. R. Jolly, V.D. (chairman of the council), Sir Henry F. Hibbert (chairman of Lancashire Education Committee), Col. Dixon (chairman of the Cheshire County Council), the Sheriff of Cheater (Mr. W. Ferguson), the Mayors of Birkenhead, Barrow-in-Fumeee, St. Helens, Dukinficld, Gloseop, Leigh and More- oombe, all wearing their chains of office; the Deputy Mayor of Southport, Mr. C. E. Thorny- croft, the Hon. A. Stanley, M.P., Mr. Mond, M.P., Mr. Jamee G. Frost (chairman of Chester rl Education Committee), Alderman J. Gooddie I I' the Rev. Canon Morris, D.D., Mr. J. H. Dickson (Town Clerk of Chester), Mr. R. P. Ward (Director of Education for Cheshire), Mr. R. Newstead, Mr. G. R. Griffiths, Mr. A. E. Lovell (Director of Education for Chester), etc. Altogether there were about 250 delegates present. The Mayor of Chester, who was received with applause, said it waa his duty and his pleasure to give the Union a very hearty and cordial welcome to the city of Chester. He understood from information given to him that the Insti- tutes last visited Chester in 1891. In that year only 28 exercises were sent from the city. and last year the number was 127. It shewed that the Union was doing excellent work. (Ap- Apologies for absence were received from the Duke plause.) I of Westminster, Lord Derby, Mr. Robert Yerburgh, the Lord Bishop of Cheater, the Dean of Chester, the Archdeacon of Chester, and a num- ber of other subscribers and friends of education. The Mayor of Chester said they all regretted the absence of Lord Derby. The Stanley family centuries ago played a prominent part in the government of Chester, and to him (the Mayor) it was a great disappointment that he had not the pleasure of welcoming his lordship there that day. They were all (Ie lighted to have Lord Stanley of Aiderley with thorn. (Applause.) Col. Jolly then took the ohair. After an ex- pression of regret at the absence of Lord Derby, he thanked the Mayor for the reoepti-on he had given them, and through him the municipality of Cheater for the excellent arrangements for the conference. The delegates ware greatly in- terested in having an opportunity of again visit- ing the fine, old oity of Chester, a oity of great antiquity and world-wide interest, whose authen- tic annals, he believed, commenccd with the arrival on the banks of the Dee of the Roman General Sultoniua Paulinus, A.D. 61. Review- ing the annual report, he said there was again an increase in the number of school's and stu- dents taking the examinations conducted by the Union. While the requ sition for examination papers and the number of exercises examined shewed a very satisfactory advance, the propor- tion of exercises which satisfied the examiners •hewed a decrease of 5.35 per cent., as compared w:th 1905. As the recent examinations were on exactly the same basis as obtained in 1905. it would appear that the falling-off must be at- tributed to some fault in <he ground work. At Preston last year Dr. H. Lloyd Snape urged that education committees should provide correlated courses of study for students attending evening classes, and endeavour to induce students to take a grouped course. It would appear that the matter had had attention, because each candi- date presented at the last examinations sub- mitted 153 exercises as compared with 1.48 in the preceding year. He bad so-on many pros- pectuses for the forthcoming session, and was pleased to find that grouped courses were being more generally adopted. Hearty thanks were tendered to tho various bodies contributing to the Union for co-operation and financial sup- port, and the Council desired to place on record its firm conviction that the Union as an examin- ing body continued to perform efficiently a work of the most vital importance to the vast number of pupils who attended the various Evening Con- tinuation Schools within the area covered by its operations. There was thus afforded for the local education authorities an effective and economical method of examining, which acted as a useful check on the expenditure of tho public funds, seeing that by the means afforded such authorities could readily gauge the value of the return scoured by tho expenditure of the money: The best test of the position which the examinations of tho Union had secured in the public estoem was shewn by the fact that 20 years ago the number who attended the ex- aminations was 1,432; the number this year was 40,180. In next year's syllabus the Council had decided to arrange for an examination in "Nature Study." In conclusion, the Colonel paid a high tribute to the excellent work of the secretary, Mr. Colas. He moved the adoption of the annual report. Mr. Wyatt (Manchester) seconded, remarking that fifteen years ago, when they held their an- nual mooting at Chester, the number of candi- dates examined by the Union was short of 5,000, while this year the number entering examina- tions had exceeded 60.000. No other organisa- tion could do the work better than it was done by the Union, and it was certain they would not get it done at anything like the price. (Ap- plause.) Tie motion was oarried. The Sheriff of Chester (Mr. Ferguson) pro- posed a vote of thanks to the subscribers and donors of prizes, the retiring Council, etc. He remarked that 2149 was received from private donors, and by means of this it was possible to award exhibitions and prizes. He personally testified to the benefit received from the Union in Chester. The operations of tho Union en- couraged a high standard of efficiency in lan- guages, science and handicrafts. It was re- quired in the present age tha-t a greater number in this country might have a wider technical knowledge of arts and sciences, and might be able to apply t-hem to everyday life. (Applause.) The Mayor of Barrow-in-Furness seconded, and it was carried. The Mayor of Birkenhead moved the election of officers, including the re-election of the Eaxl of Derby, K.G., as president, and the Duke of Westminster and others as vice presidents. After the election of the Council and certain amendments of rules, Southport was selected as the place for next year's conference. MODERN REQUIREMENTS IN EDUCA- TION. The Right Hon. Lord Stanley of Alderley read a paper on "The Relations between the Ele- mentary School and the Secondary and Con- tinuation School Systems." His lordship said if we wanted scholars ready and willing and fit to take part in technical or continuation school we must have a broad and intelligent preparation in the elementary schools. They were interested that the conditions of the elementary school should be favourable. They demanded moderate- sized classes, and must therefore urge that in planning schools a unit of forty for a classroom should be treated as the nominal typo, with some classrooms even smaller. The school should be so planned as to be fully available when better methods of teaching were introduced. If good el-emcntary school buildings with smaller classes were required, still more were good teachers. How far wer< we at present from that desider- atum The noble lord proceeded to contract the position of things in England and in Scot- land. In England we had one certificated teacher to about 81 children, compared with one to 59 scholars in Scotland. If the English certificated teachers bore the same proportion to the scholars as in Scotland, we should have 101,700 instead of 74,000, an increase of more than 36 per cent. In Scotland 69 per cent. of the certificated teachers were trained; in Eng- land about 55 per cent. were trained. Thus we saw what an enormous increase in training college accommodation was necessary before we could approximate to the Scotch standard of qualification in our teachers. They could not afford therefore, as interested in education which followed after the elementary stage, to neglect the interests of that stage, and they must, pend- ing the provision of adequate training colleges, see to it that by evening classes and otherwioo the existing teachers so imperfectly prepared were enabled to do something to raiee their status, and extend the range and thoroughness of their gfekitt* He did not intend to touch on the political aspects of the education question. We had heard plenty of these considerations, and we should hear plenty more during the next two months. But he should like to touch upon one or two points as to the range and borderland of elementary education and that which comes after it. After remarking that he had sometimes observed among those interested in secondary education a certain jealousy of the expansion of elementary education, his lordship alluded to the Higher Elementary Schools, and expressed his disappointment with the report on these schools by the Consultative Committoc of the Education Department. The report seemed to him rather imbued with the prejudices and written from the point of view which he had already noticed as sometimes characterising those associated with secondary education in their attitude towards the elementary side. Nevertheless, the fact that it was not written in a sympathetic spirit made its admissions the more noteworthy. It was quite evident the report recognised that there must be a large extension of these schools, and that, where it was not pos- sible to establish such a school as a self-contained unit there must be supplementary classes of an advanced character. It was quite essential that for day-school education it should be recognised that there were many scholars who might well stay at school up to the age of 15 or 16, and for whom a secondary school was not the proper place. In past years many of the Higher Grade Schools had proved by their success that they suited the wants of parents better than the secondary school. It was an unfortunate tiling that the pressure of the ratepayers compelled school authorities, for the sake of a large grant, to constitute most of these schools as schools of science. The narrow curriculum which used to characterise these schools had been largely broken down, and the present regulations of the Board of Education were much less hostile to the progress of education. Even now the curriculum of higher elementary schools was comparatively free, it was nothing like so free or so liberal as in Scotland. According to the last report more than five per cent. of all the scholars in Scotch schools were approved for enrolment in supple- mentary courses or higher grade schools. It might be taken that the standard of enrolment! was about equal to Standard VI. At that rate we should have in England five per cent of 6,000,000, or 300,000 above Standard VI. eligible for a course of instruction, with a liberal cur- riculum and liberal grants, in the e'ementary: schools. The latest returns gave us about 8,600 scholars in higher elementary schools, and there was no encouragement for the higher classes of an elementary school apart from these specially organised schools, the recognition of which was not a matter of right and had been charily given. After contrasting the Scottish and English grants, his lordship said m short the position in Scotland as to the expansion of its elementary system was infinitely superior to that of England, and it remained for friends of edu- cation to insist that this superiority should not continue. Another point which called for men- tion in reference both to higher elementary and secondary schools was the unnecessarily high standard of building, which acted as a deterrent; on local authorities, who would otherwise make; provision for better education. As to size of; classes, tho demands of the Board of Education • were reasonable. Intelligent teaching required moderate numbers, but the demands of floor space were excessive in secondary schools. If 10ft. per scholar was enough for children of 14 or 15 in an elementary school, they were enough in a secondary school. Central hai's of adequate dimensions should bo permitted for elementary as well as for secondary schools. There was no reason why a local authority should not be allowed to build a spacious hall, which was most useful for many local purposes. In short, lie desired to See a great expansion of local free- dom. with the imposition of a reasonable mini- mum standard of suitability. A more liberal in- tcrpretation of section 22 (2) was also required, and it was desirable that a local authority should have more freedom in extending its age limit from 15 to 16 years of age. He concluded: I should have been glad to have spoken to-day on the wider expansion of evening classes, which arc tho university of the workers whose days are pledged to earning their living. I have already taken up much time, and I can only say in conclusion, aa the Duke of Devon- shire said some years ago at Derby, that you cannot raise a liberal and generous system of advanced education if you stunt and dwarf the elementary education, which is the sole ill- heritance of nine-tenths of the nation. An interesting discussion followed. The delegates adjourned to the Grosvenor Hotel, where they partook of luncheon under the presidoncy of the Mayor of Choster. The visitors afterwards drove in brakes to Eaton. whom, by kind permission of the Duke of Westminster (one- of thoir vice-presidents), they were permitted to view the interior of the Hail. The itinerary relative to the Hall was prepared by tho Rev. Canon Morris, D.D., while that with reference to the Grosvenor Museum was by Mr R. Newsfcrad, A.L.S., etc. The Mayor and Mayoress of Chester enter- tained the delegates at tea in the Council Cham- ber at the Town Hall from five o'clock.
A STORY FROM ERIN'S ISLE.…
A STORY FROM ERIN'S ISLE. 4 Two Years of Indigestion and Liver Trouble-- Then Bile Beans and Perfect Health. Do you suffer from Indigestion,? There are almost as many forms of this ailment as there are hours in the day, and some of them are most alarming. That sour taste in your mouth after meals is one form of indigestion; that severe pain after eating, and the pain that begins some hours after eating are other forms. Then there is that changeful appetite; you sit down to table as ravenous as a wolf, but before you have eaten enough for a rabbit you feel as if you had eaten an ox. Do you feel heavy, dull, and listless all day, and sleepless at night? That is another kind of indigestion and in yet another form you rise in the morning with a dry, parched tongue and a feverish headache. Bile Beans are a perfect specific for every form of indigestion, because they help diseased and disordered organs to work out their own salvation. Mis., Eilie O'Neill, who lives and serves at The Rectory, Pallas Green. Co. Limerick, found out for herself how true that statement is. "For over two years," saya Miss O'Neill, "I suffered tortures from indigestion and liver complaint. Although I took the greatest possible care as to diet, I could eat nothing with comfort. After every meal, however light and wholesome, I was tortured with stomach pains and a feeling as if my liver was swollen and puffed up. I could not sleep soundly because of bad headaches and nervous restlessness, and would rise from my bed as weary aa when I lay down to rest. All day I felt heavy, depressed and helpless. This sort of thing soon made me so ill that I was not fit for work. I was treated by a doctor, but I got steadily worse. I seemed to have a scoro of ailments at the same time, and it would be impossible for me to tell you half the troubles I suffered from. At last I saw an advertisement of Bile Beans in 'T.A. T.' which spoke of a caso very like mine. I put aside the doctor's medi- cine and tried Bile Beans, and found myself getting lighter and livelier every day. This welcome improvement continued until I was sound and well once. Bile Beans proved very satisfactory to me in all my ailments, and I can truly say I never felt better in my life than" I do now." Bile Beans for Biliousness may be obtained of all chemists at Is. lgd. or 2s. 9d. per box.

THE HIGH TOLL OF INFANT LIFE.- The high infantile mortality of England and Wales is the subject of a letter addressed to us by Mr. II. R. Aldridge, sceretary of the National Housing Reform Council. Quoting the Registrar-General's returns, Mr. Aldridge says that there is reason to fear that the waste of infa-nt life will this year be equal to that of 1903. He holds that main causes of the ox- cessive mortality a.rc the existence of large shun areas, and the general conditions of women's work. He appeals to all those who take their civic duties seriously to make special use of the opportunities given to them in the coming municipal election contests of asking those councillors who seek roclcction to give an ac- count of their stewardship as guardians of the health of the people, and to clearly outline a programme of slum destruction and slum pre- vention. Any help which the National Houfr ing Reform Council can give to thoie who de- sire to take up this question in earnest on their local bodies will gladly be given.
CHESTER TOWN COUNCIL.I 1
CHESTER TOWN COUNCIL. I 1 A quarterly meeting of the Chester Town I Council was held on Wednesday, the Mayor (Alderman R. Lamb) presiding. THE LATE ALDERMAN CUNNAH. The Town Clerk had reoeived the following letter from Mr. A. W. Cunnah :—"Mrs. Cunnah and the family of my late uncle, Alderman Cunnah, desire me to write and gratefully thank the Mayor and Council of the city of Chester for the resolution of sympathy and condolence in their sad bereavement."—The letter will be entered on the minutes. FREE WATERWAYS. The Town Hall and Parliamentary Com- mittee recommended to the Town Council that the following representations be made to the Royal Commission on Canals and Waterways upon the fifth paragraph of the reference:—(1) That in many parts of the country it would bo advantageous to trade if all people had as free use of waterways as of roada, under proper regulations; (2) That such free user cannot be possible until the waterways are under the control of public bodies or trusts; (3) That it will not be found practicable at present to abolish tolls, but that these tolls should be made as simple and kept as low aa possiblo; (3) That the routes of national importance should be assisted by the National Exchequer, as main roads are now assisted; (5) That when, after due enquiry, it can be shewn that the improvement or maintenance of a waterway would contribute to the prosperity of any particular county or district, the local authorities of that county or district should have powers to contribute to the cost. Mr. Egerton Gilbert moved the adoption of the recommendation. Mr. Owen Roberts said he quite agreed with the recommendation eo far as it went. He, however, thought it would come with a very good graoe from the capital of Cheshire to recommend to the Commission that they be- lieved the time had come when the canals and waterways should be nationalised. He moved an amendment to that effect. Cheshire was a county of farmers, and there was no doubt that the people who would benefit from the nationalisation of waterways wou'd be farmers and trades-people. At the present moment it seemed that the rates of the railway companies were almost prohibitive to the sending of pro- duce from one place to another. There was no doubt that the railway oompanies had far too much control over the canals. In his opinion the representations of the committee did not go far enough. The inference of the first clause of the recommendation was that in some parts of the country the free use of water- ways would not be advantageous. In the seoond clause the word "trust" savoured too much of "Tammanyism." The fourth clause was the very best argument in support of his (Mr. Roberts's) amendment. (Hear, hear.) If the National Exchequer assisted, the nation ought to have control. Mr. Carr seconded the amendment. He was of opinion that the time had come when they should nationalise not only the canals, but also the railways and he would go so far as to say the land. It would be far better for the com- munity if these properties were in the hands of the nation instead of oompanies and syndicates. Mr. Mills said he was a modest man and one step was enough for him. In his judgment the time had oome when in the interest of the trading community of the country it wac desir- able to nationalise the waterways so far as practicable. Everybody knew that the system of transit under these conditions would be very much cheaper than railway transit. Unfortun- ately for the trading of this country the water- ways had got into the hands of the railway companies. He had seen in many parts of the country splendid canals, which might have been utilised for the cheapening of the trnasit of prcduoa, but which were practically idle and a danger to the community, because the water was stagnant in them, and bccause the railways which had acquired them declined to make any use of them. lIe thought the time hod arrived—and it would be very much to the bene- fit of the agricultural community whose lands were intersected with these cana s—whan the nation might usefuily take over the waterways in the public interest. Mr. F. F. Brown said the recommendation was as far as they might safely go at present. He was as anxious as anyone to see the pros- perity of the country increased by easy means of communication. The Commission were em- ployed in examining the question in all its bear- ings, and until that Commission had got all its evidence he did net think it was safe to say it would be a great advantage in every case for a canal to go there. The rrere fact that during the last six or eight weeks in many parts of the country there had not been enough water for drinking purpcoes was sufficient to shew that there would be great difficulties in bringing canals into many parts of the country. He asked them to take the case of Denbigh, a county which would be more benefited by easy communication than any other county close be- side WI. That county was full of minerals, and if they could be brought down cheaply to the river Dee it would be a great advantage. The Denbigh County Council, however, could not advise a canal, simply because the difficulties of construction would be so great that a rail- way was cheaper in the end. They knew that there were many places which a canal could reach, but there were very many places which canals could not reach, and in such places farmers would be much more benefited by a light railway than by a canal. He did not think it would be prac- ticable for this country to raise sufficient money to make the canals ail over the country free of toll for a long time. That would impose such a burden that the country could not bear it. Mr. Hewitt was of opinion that the water- ways as at present existing would be a benefit to trade if untrammelled and unmuzzled by the London and North-Western and other railways who had got control of them. (Hear, hear.; The question of making fresh waterways did net enter into it. The waterways were a dis- tinct bar to trade at present. Mr. Egerton Gilbert suggested that the amendment might be added at the end of clause 2 of the recommendation. The Town Clerk ruled that this could not be done. Eventually it was agreed to adopt as the amendment the first three clauses, with the words "the nation" substituted at the end of clnuse 2 for "public bodies or trusts." The voting was 17 for the amendment and 9 for the original motion. The amendment was therefore carried. IMPROVEMENT COMMITTEE CHA IRMAN At a meeting of the Improvement Com- mittee of the Corporation, Alderman John Jones wr,te tendering his resignation as chairman of the committee, and adding :—I am pleased to say that during my term of iiine years as deputy- chairman, and six years as chairman, my relation- ship to every member of the committee has been of the happiest possible kind and I wish to tender to them my sincere thanks for the generous help afforded, and the confidence reposed in me in the conduct of the business per- taining to the committee.—It was resolved "That this committee accept, with regret, the resignation of Alderman John Jones as chairman, and they hereby tender to him the best thanks of the committee for the able and valuable services rendered to the city as chairman of the committee during the last six years, and as deputy-chairman for nine years; and they desire to place on record their high appreciation of his uniform Courtesy while presiding over the deliberations of the committee. It was also resolved that Alder- man J. M. Frost be appointed chairman, and Mr. H. B. Dutton deputy-chairman of the committee for the remainder of the current year. THE DEMI CAR CRITICISED. Aid. Churton asked if the chairman of the Tramways Committee had anything to report respecting the demi-oar which had been put on the tramway sorvioo. They were looking for- ward to something in the shape of a decent car in Houghton—(laughter)—and tin y wanted to know what the committee thought about tho domi-car. Tho Sheriff replied that the matter was in an experimental stage. Mr. T. Mills asked if tho committee seriously intended to purchase any mere demi-cars. He would not like toentertain the Corporation with aU the remarks he had heard about tha.t type of car. A friend of his said he thought they had dragged the old floating bath out of the river and put it on wheels. (Laughter.) He (Mr. Mills) went to see if one of the cabmen's shel- ters had been removed and put on the track. (Laughter.) He would advise the committee to give the vehicle a coat of black paint, and turn it into a hearse. (Much laughter.)
MOTORING OFFENCES.I +
MOTORING OFFENCES. I + THREE-MILE HOOLE TRAP. Several motoring offences were dealt with by the Chester Castle Bench on Saturday. Mr. R. T. Richardson presided, and the other magistrates present were Mr. B. C. Roberto and Mr. T. Butl,er.-Coloiiel Charles Knight Wood, Cliffe Manor, Penmaenmawr, was summoned for driving a motor bicycle at a speed exceeding twenty miles an hour, at Hoole, on the 23rd August. The police evidence was to the effect that Constable Myall was placed at the one-mile post from Chester on the Warrington road, and Constable Parr was stationed three miles away at the fourth milestone. The defendant covered the three miles on his cycle in six minutes, which worked out at thirty milca an hour.—The de- fendant wrote from the North asking to be ex- cused attendance, and stating that as he was not stopped or signalled to by the police it was obvioua he could not poesibly have any defence. As he did not hear of the summons until at least ten days afterwards, he could not tell exactly whether he exceeded the twenty miles per hour, or remember at what speed he was going. If he had exceeded the limit, he regretted it, as he habitually rode most carefully. The Chairman said it was very desirable that people should be notified immediately of any charge against them, and he asked what the law required of the police in this respect. The Superintendent said notice was given to Colonel Knight Wood as won as they had ascer- tained who he was. He explained the procedure necessary to obtain thia information, and shewed that some days must neoessariiy elapse before they could notify a defendant of any charge of this kind. In this case they were well within the twenty-one days' period specified in the Act. A fine of 40s. and costs was imposed. William Ruston Halsall, 11, Digglc-street, Wigan, motor driver, was summoned for driving a car at excessive speed at the 53.me place on the 29th August. In this case Sergeant Jackson and Constable Emersley proved the speed to be 27 miles per hour. Dr. Angior, of Wigan, the owner of the car, said they had no idea they were going at that speed. They, however, could not refute the police evidence. The Chief Con- stable of Wigan had given him permission to say that his man, the defendant, had never been cautioned or stopped. He had been in his (witness') employment twelve years, and was a most careful driver.—A fine of JM and costa was imposed. ON WREXIIAM-ROAD. Haroid Sutton, Dun^ford House, Crumpsall, Manchester, was summoned for exceeding the speed limit at Pulford on the 8th September.— P.C. Wright deposed to baing on duty on the Wrexham-road, Marston-cum-Lache, for the pur- pose of timing motor-cars. The defendant's car parsed him at 1.45 p.m., going in the direction of Wrexham.—P.C. Richardson said he was sta- tioned at the fifth milestone from Chester, at Pulford, and the defendant passed him at 1.10 p.m.—Superintendent Hicks said the distanco between the oonstables was three miles, and the defendant covered it in 61 minutes, which worked out at a speed of 27 miles per hour.— Defendant said he had no defence, as he was in the hands of the police. He did not think he was going at that pace.—A fine of £3 and costs was imposed. -I". ;afi Royle, Holmes Chapel, building con- tractor, W.aL charged with riding a motor bicycle on the footpath in Tarvin-road, Great Bough tori, on the 13th September.—P.C. Emersley proved the case. Defendant said to witness that it was a very wet day, and he did not wish to dirty the machine. Superintendent Hicks said there were numerous complaints from the neighbour- hood about the practice of cyclists riding on t,he footpath. A fine of 20s. and costs was inflicted.
REMARKABLE SCHOOL QUARREL.…
REMARKABLE SCHOOL QUARREL. I_+-- TEACHERS "LOCKED OUT." DENBIGHSHIRE COMMITTEE'S ACTION. HV*1' ,^ay' afc ,their meeting at the Queen Hotei. C/iester, the Dcnbig-lish.ro Education Oommitieo fook decisive aet.om in a remarkable cusp me wh ca has arisen m connection with St Joseph's Catholic School, Denbigh. Mr. W. G. Dodd, at the meeting, made. a statement respecting what he described as "this painful business." orf^u rr^'xt:ng of the committee on August „ sfd' tho matter was reported to tho Board of Education, who were informed of r at nor Francis Williams's intimation that the managers had dismissed the head-teacher. Since that mee-tng the following letter had been re- ceived from Miss Flavin, the hoa.d-tea.cher:- "This (Monday) morning, September 24, when I and my ass siant went to school, the door was —as during the past week—locked against us. Tho Rev. Francis Williams stood at & gate at the other end of the birlding, which gate leads into the vestry (the school is used for church service on Saturdays a.nd Sundays), the vestry having oommun:cation with the school. A few children came to the school as we stood there, and the Rev. Francis Williams called to them and they passed In by the vestry door. We walked up, and I asked if that were the en- trance to the school. He said, 'Yes, but you cannot enter. You are no longer mistress of the school.' To my question, 'Then you refuse mo entrance to my school?' he answered, 'Yes, I do.' Then I came away. I wish to state that I have the school keys and that I have not bean asked to give them up The school has been in session to-day. What about the registers and the marking of same? The Rev. Father Wil- r!ilffi3 and a young person named Emily M Manus—the school cleaner's grand-daughter —(laughter)—superintended the school to-day." During the preceding week, Mr. Dodd pro- oocded. the t^acliers had presented themselves at the school, and had been refused admiss:on. Mr. D. S Davies, of Denbigh, the chairman of the Staff Committee, when in London, called at the Board of Education and explained the situation. The Board advised that unless the school was immediately reopened the Education Committee would be justified in refusing to ma.intnin it, but tha-t before any definite steps weno taken the committee shou'd wait a short time. The seoretares thereupon gave the Rev. Francis Williams notice that unless the school was reop-nod by September 24 the committee at the meeting on September 28 would no doubt refuse to maintain it. On the 24th, the Rev. Francis Williams wrote that tho school had been reopened, and that a new head-mistress had been engaged. Miss Flavin wrote on Thursday the following' letter:- "It has come to my knowledge that a mistress has been placed in my school, and I understand that she has called the registers. How she has got the registers I do not know, as I have tho keys of my desk and cupboards, nor havo I bren asked to give them up. Will you pleaee ask zi member of the committee to be good enough to visit the school and report on this matter? Surely I hare been wrongfully dismissed by not being allowed entrance to my school, and the3e horrible clerical managers are adding insult to injury." The Staff Committee, Mr. Dodd said, con- sid,c.red that there was no alternative but to refuse to maintain the school any longer. This course was recommended in a letter from Mr. D S. Davies, who was now in Germany. Ho moved a. resolution, of which Mr. A. T. Davies had given notice, refusing further to maintain and recognise St. Joseph's non-provided oohool, Denbigh. Mr. George Cromar eeoonded. The difficulty, he said, had arisen not through any action of that committee, but from a dispute that had arisen between the teachers and the managers. The gravest part .of the affair was that they had the Rev. Franc's Williams tampering with the register of the school, and actually entering in the register the attendances for throe days in succession when really there was no school held. The committee therefore could not liesitate a moment in taking the extreme measure sug- gested in the resolution. This was a small Roman Catholic school that had been thrust upon them by that wicked Education Act of 1902--( L-,Lughter and hear, hear)—and this was some of its consequences. It revealed how some of these school had been managed and were managed to this day. It was only when the veil was lifted a little, as it was now, that they caught glimpses behind the scenes and saw what treatment their teachers had to put up with. Mr. R. Darlington said the head-teacher had reoeived one month's notice to leave the school on religious grounds, whereas she was entitled to three; months' notice. The resolution was oarried uoanimoualy.

"SIMPLEST WOUNDS NOT TO BE…
"SIMPLEST WOUNDS NOT TO BE TRIFLED WITH." + Theeo words were used by a well-known coroner at a recent inquest on a man who hMl died from blood-poisoning. The deceased was a powerful young fellow 23 years old, and during his work had lightly grazed his knuckles, blood- po'i-oning and death supervening. The coroner urged that cleanliness and immediate attention to C> a wound, however insignificant, were indis- peivable. It does seem a dreadful thing for a life in the full strength of glorious manhood to be cut short like this, when probably a little care and atten- tion at the time the accident occurred, together I 14D with the application of eome reliable antiseptic and germicidal healer would have saved it. In Zam-Buk we have a preparation which fulfils all the requirements neceseary to effective first-aid; Zam-buk is essentially a HERBAL healing-balm, compounded of rich vegetable extracts and aromatio oils, so skilfully blended as to preserve the full benefits of each ingredient. As an absolutely reliable germicide, antiseptic, and skin-healer, Zam-Buk is unrivalled. The important herbal extracta contained in this precious balm arrest decomposition, kill the micro-organisms which are the cause of wounds "taking bad ways," act as a disinfectant by destroying harmful growths on surfaces already foul and infected, stop smarting, pain, or irrita- tion, and finally grow new skin. A one and threehalfpenny or two and nine box of this wonderful first-aid should find a place in every home.

Sir William Treloar on Saturday was elected Lord Mayor of London. THE SOUTH AFRICAN I'ERIL.- Viscount Milner, who was presented in London on Friday with an address from the inhabitants of Cape Colony, said that the great objects which they had in view, the gradual fusion of the white races in South Africa into one nation, and the retention of that nation as a permanent member of the British group of States, had been in greater peril in the past than they were to-day. The present danger in South Africa was disunion; the danger at home was the growth of a spirit of anti-nationalism. This spirit was a great and growing factor, and its excesses might at any moment lead to the grayest peril.
CITIZENSHIP AND EMPIRE. *
CITIZENSHIP AND EMPIRE. LECTURE AT HAWARDEN. THE SQUIRE S ADDRESS. Mr. J. A. R. Marriott, M.A., the weil-known and popular lecturer, delivered a brilliant lec- ture in the Haward en Gymnasium on Friday evening to a crowded audienca on "Citizen- ship and Empire." The lecture was the pre- Uminary to Mr. E. L. S. Hornburgh's set of six University Extension Loctures, entitled "Indus- tr.al and Economio Question since 1789," to be delivered on alternate Saturday afternoons at the County School, Hawarden. The Squire, Mr. W. G. C. Gladstone, pre- sided, and in the oouise of an introductory ad- dress said they were taking advantage of an institution oalled tlve University Extension Delegacy, which existed for the purpose of ex- tending the leam ng and cultjire of the Univer- sity—tho inimitable culture of Oxford-to all those who had not tho opportunity of enjoying that culture at its very source. That was a noble mission, which reminded them of an essen- t al difference between the ancient friars and monks. The friars brought their knowledge to tho very doors and hearths of the people, whereas tha monks kept their learning within the walls of the monastery. Something of the same sort might bo urged against the University of Ox- ford, were it not for the University Extension Delegacy, which sent forth its representatives far and wide to promote the general knowledge of the people, either by opening to them the records of history with unerring acouracy and impartiality of judgment, or by analysing modern problems, whether economic, social or Imperial, without a shade of political bias. That night they welcomed moot heartily the secre- tary of tho U.E.D. With great generosity Mr. Marriott, at great inconvenience to himself, had made them a gift of his lecture to inaugurate tho forthcoming series at tho County School, which would be the first to be he'd in that no gh- bourhood. Personally, he had had the pleasuro of going to a course of Mr. Marriott's lectures at Oxford, and he knew from personal experi- once what a great treat was in store for them. Mr. Marriott, who was warmly received, then delivered his lecture on "Citizenship and Em- pire." After br efly expressing his pleasure at being present, the lecturer proceeded to explain some of the main objects of the University Ex- tension movement, and how it was part and parcel of the political atmosphere which wo breathed. This atmosphere was propounded of two elements—^Democracy on the one a de, and Imperialism on the other. (Applause.) 110 hoped that that night he waa not merely inaugu- rating a single isolated series of lectures, but that he waa taking part in tho founding of a permanent system of higher educational ad- vantages, which in time would become a valu- able part of tho educational msc-hinery of Hawarden. After eulogising the abilities of the forthcoming i-eetuxr, Mr. Hornsburgh, Mr. Marriott said ho would discourse on politics, not in the ordinary English and modern se but in the Greek sense of t,he term, meaning all those things which go to contribute to the interest and wellbeing of the State and the wel- fare, happ ness and contentment of the citizens who composed that State. ( Applause.) Rela- ting the objccta and aims of the University Ex- tension movement, the lecturer said that one of the causes which had militated against the com- plete success of the system, more particularly among tho artisan classes, was the lack of that which Mr. Wyndham came to Hawarden to speak about—the lack of the intermediate rung in tho educational ladder, which meant the lack of a sound system, a national system, of SECONDARY EDUCATION. (Hear, hear.) It was ridiculous to suppose that the working-classes oould take full advantage of the lectures if the intermediate stages had been non-existent, or only nominal. It was im- possible, and it was essential that the system of intermediate or secondary education should bo more thorcughly and permanently developed. The University Extension movement was net a system of secondary education. It wis an attempt on the part of the ancient Universities to make available for tho country at large the advantages cf teaching, which were only neces- sarily enjoyed by a. small and limited class. The system was only mooted in 1850, yet last year, so Tapid had been its growth, there were some three hundred centres scattered through- out the land, with a regular attendance cf 50.000 students. It was his hope and aim that Hawarden would become and remain an in- telIcctual oo!cny of the University of Oxford. It was a thousand times fitting that it should, for Oxford never had in the whole coursc of its long history a more loyal and devoted son than the great statesman with whom tho name of Hawarden would always be inseparably linked in everlasting association. (Applause.) The history of the nineteenth century was be- ginning to fall into historical perspective. He thought the two great determining forces of the century were the forces of democracy and of Im- perialism. The responsibility of the supreme poli- tical power had been transferred from a limited and small class to the great masses of the nation at large. The milestones on the path I of democracy of the nineteenth century were marked plainly enough with '32, the Act by which supreme political power was transferred from the landed aristocracy to the middle- classes '67, the Act by which it was transferred from the middle-class s to the artisan-classes of the towns '85, by whch political privileges were extended to the working-classes of the country districts and the Acts of '88 and '94, by which the same classes were, for the first time, closely associated with the work of local government and administration. The great Act of 1867 was almost immediately followed by the Education Act of 1870, when, for the first time, the State assumed the responsibility of educating the children of its citizens. The object of higher eduoation, as apart from elementary education, was to teach people something of citizenship. The British people were, at the present timo, making an experiment in regard to democracy which WEB without precedent in the history of the world. The responsibility which was thus thrust upon every voter in the United Kingdom appalled him, especially when he thought that they were responsible for the administration of one-fifth of the globe and the good govern- ment and social happiness of 450 millions of human beings. The two great things of which he was thinking were the responsibility which rested on the individual artisan at home and the enormous possibilities which the responai- bility opened for gcod. Could the experiment succeed? He was convinced that it could not be done, and the experiment oould not succeed if it was committed to the uneducated and un- thinking democracy. (Applause.) He did not suggest that learning and education were synonymous. Education meant a vast deal more than learning, but learning meant the training of a man to think clearly and dis- passionately on political problems. What the working-classes were seeking from higher edu- cation were industrial leaders, leaders and directors of co-operative industry, and political leaders to represent them on Imperial and local elective bodies, and also tr&:nod efficipk to conduct the business of their trade and or- ganisations. What, however, the working- olasa^s were afraid of was that their leaders would rise out of their classes. In conclusion, the lecturer urged that to benefit the masses effectively they must complete and perfect their educational ldder, and work out and devise a scheme of citizen education which would elevate the whole maes of citizen rulers and not raise brainy people out of the class in which they were born, but which would assist the whole mass of citizens and enable them better to solve the problems and fulfil the responsi- bility by whioh they were at present unques- tionably confronted. (Applause.) On the motion of Mr. Gladstone the lecturer was cordially thanked for his services, and, Mr. Marriott briefly responding, the proceedings term:nated.
