Editorial Notes.
Editorial Notes. The visit of the Right Hon. Lloyd George to Cardiff on Saturday, as the honoured guest of the Oymrodorion, was a striking illustration of the possibility of unity in Wales on non-party lines. The company represented every variety of creed and politics, and yet a wonderful uniformity of national sentiment. It was the finest realisation of the practical anti- cipation of "Cymru gyfan that has been seen in Wales, and the position of Cardiff as the Metropolis of the Principality has made a firm advance as a consequence. There was not a, discordant note heard. The whole aim and purpose of one and all was to sink local and sectional views for the large one of Cymric nationality. When we saw the huge gathering at Cardiff, and the refreshing presence every- where of pride in Welsh nationality, we could not forget the days when Die Shon Dafydd, Yswain, was a serious factor in the history of Wales. It is not surprising that the gentry of Wales were without influence among the people, because Dio Shon Dafydd was all present among the class. We had few of the type of Lady Llanover among the landed folks who were patrons of the language and customs of tne country. The gentry lost their hold upon the people when they banished the language from the big houses. The more English initiations prevailed, the further the classes went from the people. Die Shon Dafydd is absolutely banished. There is no one to-day but regrets that he can- not sjpeak in Eden's tongue." He con- fesses it with an apology in tone, and would strive much if he could recover the art which Die Shon Dafydd despised. Every new triumph by Welshmen seals the fate of Dick. The Welsh football vic- tories was a heavy nailing of his coffin, and then the crowds of nondescripts felt that to be a Welshman, or of Welsh descent, however remote, was an accept- able pedigree, and was class-" pretension in any company. Die, in the old days, was very largely recruited from the shallow intellects—the flotsam and jetsam in the sea of society navigation. But the New Zealand" defeat settled the place of these fellows in the Empire. New Zealand had beaten England, Scotland and Ireland, and Wales had beaten New Zealand, and, therefore, it was the cor- rect thing to say Wales was the champion of the Empire and that Welshmen were the boys. All this and many individual successes have made history good to Welshmen, and hence Die Shon Dafydd no longer rears his head in the company of Welshmen with any degree of en- couragement. ( We are glad to find that the Lord Mayor has consented to call the Confer- ence, and that it is going to be called next week. Curweh. yr haiarn tra fyddo'n boeth," is the Welsh motto which will be applied. Surely, a National Coun- cil which was made possible under the last Government will not be less possible under an Administration so much in har- mony with Welsh opinion as the present one. We want a Central Education Authority which can take in the needs of all Wales, and to direct a policy of edu- cation suitable to the Welsh atmosphere. We were glad to hear Mr. Lloyd George pronouncing strongly for a Council, and not a Department. The latter is ruled by permanent officials, the former by the people through expert representatives. We do not favour elected representatives by the County Council, but direct repre- sentatives by the people of Wales. Though the National Council, in its present anti- cipation, has only to deal with education, we cannot see any reason why the prin- cinle of devolution should not be extended to other functions of public life. It can- not be a directly representative body otherwise. The Councils will send the same people, and it will not be easy to get fresh blood into it. For this reason, therefore, we strongly believe in the elect- ing specifically for the Council. However, we should not present an en- during opposition to this form; rather than create difficulties in the interest of the principle of a corporate unity to direct Welsh education, we would sacri- fice much in the way of detail principles of organisation. The great necessity is a Council. As Mr. Lloyd George well said it, We want one Central Educa- tion Authority. We believe that Wales has travelled very far on the educational road, that she has left behind even the foremost amongst her neighbours. With all respect to them, we believe that we can do better for ourselves than others can do for us. We believe that we can understand our own educational needs better than men who know very little about us. This is our country, and here most of us have lived most of our lives. We have studied it, and we understand it. We have studied it with affection, and we know it thoroughly." Home Rule in Education is the desideratum. This secure, much will be attained. Education, after all, is the great lever of nations.

A grand entertainment in aid of the Mid-Rhondda Fire Brigade is announced to take place on Thursday and Saturday, the 15th and 17th inst., when a first-class variety programme will be forthcoming The energetic secretary of the Mid-Rhon- dda, Chamber of Trade, Mr. J.

Lewis, tenor (of the Royal Welsh Choir); Miss Lydia Warsaw, vocalist and mimic Harry Quininborough, comedian; Sylvania, hand- cuff manipulator; Fireman E.

Rhondda County School, Porth.
Rhondda County School, Porth. Celebration ot St. David's Day. The Governors of the School arranged a St. David's Day meeting, and provided tea for 300 of the pupils on Thursday, March 1st. The first part of the pro- gramme consisted of Welsh airs, sung to Welsh words, by the pupils. Addresses were delivered by Dr. Morris (chairman), Mr. Daniel Thomas, Mr. Henry Abraham, and Councillor Rees Lloyd. Violin solos were rendered by Masters E. D. Thomas and T. H. Berry, and a Welsh recitation from Telynog was given by Miss Cath. M. Williams. Tea followed, and all the staff, assisted by the senior pupils, gave their services with such despatch that all the pupils and the Governors present finished this part of the programme within half an hour. The second part of the programme commenced with a glee by the staff masters. This was vociferously re-demanded. Then Dr. T. H. Morris gave a very interesting lecture on Welsh topics, illustrated with excellent lantern views. Cinematograph pictures followed, and selections on the graphophone by eminent Welsh artistes. At the close, Master E. W. Edwards proposed, and Master Arthur J. Williams seconded, a vote of thanks to the Governors for providing an entertain- ment on such a large scale. Mr. Jeffreys (Governor) responded. Miss C. Davies proposed, and Councillor Lloyd seconded, a. vote of thanks to Dr. Morris for his most interesting lecture. The meeting came to an end with the singing of "Hen Wlad fy Nhadau" and "God save the King."
