PONTYPRIDD SCHOOL ATTENDANCE COMMITTEE. SCHOOL CENSUS OF LLANFABON PARISH. The parish of Llanfsbon, the only parish in the Pontypridd District not having a School Board of its own, is under the jurisdiction of the School Attendance committee of the Board of Guardians. At a meeting of this committee held at Ponty. pridd, on Wednesday, there were present: Mr A. Cule (in the chair), Messrs J. Evans (Crofta); Moses Cule; and T. Williams (Glog). Mr Jones, school attendance officer for Llan. fabon parish, attended, and at the request of the Clerk (Mr Spick. tt) reported that, according to a census taken by him, there were in Llanfabon parish 447 child, en above five and under 13 years of age; 421 of those attended school, onanlaverage, and there were 26 absentees. The school accom- modation was as follows Nelson school, for 330; Graig, Berthlwyd, 120; Navigation, 25; Ystrad, 120; a total accommodation of 595. Mr E. Edwards, who (though not a member of the committee) was present, said the accommoda- tion at the Board school at Navigation was for 35, not 25. Mr Jones said that was the information be had. He had gone on his own way without instructions, and done his best. He had hitherto been unable to find a committee to report to. He came at the request of the clerk that day fo'tnight, and also on the previous Wednesday, but found no com- mittee. The Chairman thought the committee should meet a little oftener. The Clerk (to the officer) Have you taken pro- ceedings against the parents of tht-se who don't attend school ? Mr Jones No, I thougnt I must get instructions from the committee before I could do that, and besides, I think I can't get them to attend without it. The Clerk: You know that it is your duty to summon the parents ? The Chairman I think the attendance is good out of the number of children. Mr M. Cule: The school accommodation seems to be far in excess of the requirements of the parish. Dr. Leigh said that the officer had done a great deal of good in keeping up and improving the attendance of children at school The Clerk: Have you the names of those who dont't attend P The Officer: No, because I thought I could get them to attend by simply threatening legal pro, ceedings. The Clerk But you understand that you must report to the committee, who will instruct you as to taking proceedings. Mr J. Evans had been on this committee aboutf: two years, but had not attended before. (Laughter) In fact he had received no notice. The Clerk The committee aae appointed every year in March. It is their duty then to make arrangements for meetings. No arrangements were made by this committee, and I thought arrange- ments should be made. ? Some conversation ensued as to how often the committee should meet in future. The Clerk suggested that they should have a monthly meet- ing, but it was decided, on the motion of Mr M: Cule, seconded by Mr J. Evans, that they should meet once in two months. This concluded the business.
