To Correspondents and Advertisers. As we shall go to press next week mue:) earlier than usual, we shall be much obliged if our advertisers and correspondents will kindly send in all communications not later than Wednesday morning. We are not able to guarantee the insertion of anything received later than that day.

The National Museum. WE believe Conway Corporation acted very wisely in refusing to enter into com- petition with Carnarvon for the location of the National Museum. The hopes of the little borough for securing that institution were very slender, and it did well to refrain from imperilling its present pros- perity by entering upon an expensive scheme with which to lure the Museum to the Castle. From a historical point of view there is no town in Wales which can show greater claims to a national institu- tion of this kind than Conway, but, un- fortunately, there are other elements which count. It is imperative that a strong attempt should be made to secure the Museum for North Wales. It must be admitted at once that Carnarvon is the most powerful claimant for the honour, and in that case it would be extremely meln for a town like Conway to imperil the good chances of Carnarvon by dividing the support which would other- wise be unanimous for Carnarvon. Jealousy between different parts of the country has often spoilt many good causes in Wales. It is well that towns like Con- way are learning self-denial by uniting in a common cause in the fight of Welsh Wales against the Anglicised South.

The Education Crisis. THE thunder-clouds have been gathering with a vengeance during the past fortnight, and no one knows to-day when Wales will be embroiled in the thick of a bitter feud between the education authorities and the Government. There is no denying the fact that the great body of national feeling is in full sympathy with the County Councils in their light, and that Merioneth will receive the hearty support of the whole of Wales and of a large body of wealthy English Nonconformists in its struggle. We believe that the Govern- ,,g ment has been ill-advised in attacking Merioneth, although the provocation given was great still, there is hardly a doubt that the county is entrenched in a strongly fortified legal position. Its position is cer- tainly more logical than the other counties, although perhaps less subtle and evasive. It takes its stand boldly on the principle contained in the Education Act that the school buildings must be placed in a thoroughly efficient condition before they will be maintained from the rates. It is very doubtful indeed whether the Govern- ment would win its case if the matter were argued out in the law courts. It is very probable that Carnarvonshire will find itself in the same position as Merioneth ere long. The non-provided school man- agers in the county have refused the very lenient and reasonable terms of the county authority. The result will be that the county will press the managers to carry out its demands, and it seems beyond hope that the money can be found wherewith to do so, the schools will be declared in default by the county, and will not be further maintained. The school managers have to provide some- thing like ^15,000 in order to meet the demands of the Council, and it is well known that they cannot do so. If the county refuses to maintain them, it is expected by the Bishops and their followers that the Education Department will declare the county to be in default. We firmly believe the Church., party has made a grievous error in not accepting the moderate terms of the County Council —terms which it is certain will never be offered them again.
