ABERGELE COUNTY SCHOOL. PRIZE DISTRIBUTION BY MISS FRANCES HUGHES OF K!NMEL. PROFESSOR ANWYL AND SECONDARY SCHOOLS. The annual Speech Day in ooimeotio-n with r the Abea-gele County School took plaoe on Ttairsday. There was a Large attenritamoe of parents and others. The chair was taken by Mr J. Herbert Ro- boewtf,, M.P., and the prizes and' oertitiaaAes :were distributed by Mias Frances Hughes, of Kinanel. The prooedings were opened by a boAO from Master Oliver Jones, of Conway, and this was followed by an exhibition of dumb-bell exer- cises by a number of girls- MUST SUPPORT THE CENTRAL WELSH BOARD. Mr Herbert Roberts, in his opening remarks, eatpreasod the pleasure it gave rum to see Pro- tEfBor Anwyl present ttaat day. Professor ATru-vi was acknowleiQlged to be one oi the mlost distinguished scholars amongst living .Welshmen- He was distiniguisbed in imny &.eLda of learning- He oouild occupy more than one of the chaare of the University of Walea, and was oabe who contributed in no small mea- tatre to tie making of tiie educational life of WaksH apiplause)- Professor Anwyl was the dhairmtm of the Central Welsh Board, a body •whitlii guided* and supervised the secondary eys- oi eduoataoai in the Principality. In view of ooxtain suggestions which were sometimes made he desired to express his own strong convic- tion that it was of tiie highest importance to the future of Welsh education that tie powers of the Central Welsh Board should be main- tained unimpaired (applause). The establish- ment of that Board was. as they ail knew, the first step on the road to Welsh educational autonomy, and it toi;e of tiae utmost importance bhat they should n tiiat body as a step- ping-stone to still WOtifiT powers of self-govemr møIt in the spixm o: education in Wales- rir goal as eduoatioiiiists was a oounicil for Wales fully respoiraihle for the conduct of ail grades of education in the country. But until that goal was reached it was for those wiho had the honour of representing the land in Par- liament and ail interested in education in walle6 to make it their concern to keep the powers of tie Welsh Central Board (applause.) H EADM ASTER'S REPORT. The Headmaster tiion read uis report, which was as follows The highest nuiribur on the rcl for the year was 122. This constitutes a record for the school- The percentage attendance jus been exo&Hent throughout the year During the bumnaeur term the percentage reaohd the figure of 95-3. I am glad' to be able to state that tihe number of certificates gained by our pupils in the various stages of trie Central VVelsn Board etxamiinatianB was higher than in any previous year. We presented iour candidates lor the homouriS stage, the highest number yet presented by QlUJr school. Eacti of the candi- dates took four aubjectisl, and occupied a very creditable position in tOO county list of euo- oess-'u^ hotaodira candidates- The tnxoe girls highest on the Denbighsihire liet were pupils cf Aberg-de County SornolL Nehe Thomas was next on the list for a County Exhibition, and was top girl in the oouiiuty. Sine was also the fourth girl in add Wades- Another of our giiris, Olwen Jones, took the higher stage in hoooure Weifsh, attcf was the onily Jionours candidate in Dein-bighahire successful in this subject. Three of the candidates, N. Thomas, D. Galey, and D. E. Lawrence presented French conversation at the honours stage, and obtained a high per- centage of marks for conveauational power. Two of our oandidatos. N. Thomas and D. Ooley, gamed destination iu Scripituiie kinowiedge in the honours &Mge--a knowledge of a portion of the Greek Testament being essential to success in this pubjeot. In view o." the fact tliait all four candidates had only worked for one year in the honouirs cdasa, the reeulite are highly satis- factory. I might perhaps mention here that for the past five years we have presented candidates for tiie honours certificates every year- During this time twenity-six distinctions have beon gaicnrxv, and not a single candidate has failed in any subject at the honours stage. The posi- tion gained by girls on the honours list sug- gests tihat it would be well if some arrange- ment could be made in the method of granting County Exhibitions so that girls, who are physi- cadlv less strong than boys to stand the strain off examinations, should have a better chance in the competition- In addition to the Central Welsh Board certificates gained in b,-e honours, seendor and junior stages, we have also to re- oord successes at the University of Wales.

(presiding), Dr. Wolstenholme, Dr. Peter Jones, Major Hughes, and Mr Griffiths. SCHOOL CASES. The Bench made an attendance order against Robert Jones, 19. Peel-street, Abergele, for not sending his child to school. It was stated that the attendance was 29 out of a possible 109. A like order wa-s made against Moses Jones, of Fron Groes, Llanfair, the attendance being 82 out of 118. For disobeying an attendance order, Jane Davies, Eden Cottage. Pensarn, was fined 5s and costs. It was stated that the attendance of the Child from the first day she went to school was at the rate of about 50 per cent. WORKING A LAME HORSE. Hugh Ellis, of Tanygroig, Llanfair P.G., pleaded guilty to working a lame horse at Aber- gele on November 14th. P.C. Davioa stated that he found the defend- ant working the horse, which was attached to a. load of furniture. Defendant was on his way from Bootle to Llanfair P.G. The animal was in a bad condition, and practically walked on three legs. Inspector Eakins, R.S.P.C.A.. said that the leg was so badly diseased that the sole was really on the ground, and there was "a great discharge." The injury must have existed for montns, and the animal, when it used that leg, walked on the toe. Dof-ndaat pleaded that he had recently bought the horse, find that the Liverpool police did not stop him. He took the Lorse home by tram from Aborgelo Fined 10s. and 10s costs. AFTER THE FAIR.

P.C. Davies said the man was so drunk after the fair that, he had to hold the horse's head to pr ivent, him from falling, and when put in tlse trap he topplad over among the pigs. A man jiamed Jones drove him home. DRUNK AT BETTWS. For being drunk at Bettv/s on November 16th. Robert Jones, of Bryn Maenan, Llysfaen, was fined 2s 6d and 8s 6d costs. RHYL MEN IN I ROUBLE. George Coyne. 54, Victoria-road, and John Kolmss. Sisson-street. Rhyl, were charged with cruelty to a horse on November 18th. Mr Moseley defended. Mr Bestall, Rhyl, stated he saw Coyne on the Abergele-road, by the side of a horse, which had fallen dow.n. Witness assisted him to got the animal up, but it fell down twice in a distance of 10 or 15 yards. It was then turned into a field. The animal was in very poor condition, and not fit to work or walk along a road. There were several wounds on it. Cross-examined: He did not see Coyne ill-treat the animal in any way. There was no harness on the horse. Mr Wm. Jones, toll collector, Foryd Bridge, corroborated. Inspector Eakins, R.S.P.C.A., said he saw th animal on the 19th in a field near Foryd. It was in a wretched condi Ion, and scarcely able to stand. There were several discharging wounds on it, and one could ecarcely put his hand on ihe back without touching a sore, while the smell from the wounds was very pronounced. Every bone in the body could be counted, and it was the most wretched horse he had ever &csn. He met the defendant Holmes in Rhyl the same day, and gave him the option of at once de- stroying the horse. It was then shot. In cross-examination by Mr Moseley, the In- spector said tiie horse must have fallen down from weakness. He did not know it was being taken to a field for "the rest cure." He would not leave the town until the horse was de- stroyed. Mr MoseJey: Was it riotahumene act to take it to -the field? Inspector Eakins: It was a humane act to shoot it, Mr Moseley submitted there was no case to answer. The horse had become run down through working in Rhyl during the season, and defendant after buying it found that it suffered from worms, and as he could not treat it pro- perly :he sent it to the field, knowing that the grass would soon put it right. The horse was on its way to undergo "the rest cure," when it stumbled and fell. The defendant Holmes gave evidence, and said lie shot it because the Inspector said it would be cheaper-for him to do so than for the Society. Ho bought horses and fed them up. He got 12s 6d for the hide, so tbat there could be little wrong with it. Had he believed the horse could not walk he could have put it on his cart and taken it to the field. In cross-examination, the defendant said he could ".not account for the low condition of the horse, exoepting through worms," after it had finished the Rhyl season two months ago. Per- haps it was that at one time a lad had been feed- ing it- It was not in that condition through starvation. Inspector Eakins: What did you pay for it?- B4. Did you get any cart and harness?—Yes, some I suggest to you that you gave 24 for the can and harness, a.nd the horse was thrown in? No the cart had no wheels. George Coyne also gave evidence. Edward Burke said he Ibad worked the horse at Abergele, and that during the season it had worked in a. brake by the side of a £ 50 horse. It was "a good, honest horse, and as sound &a any horse in Abergele." The Bench fined Holmes 5s and 14s costs, and Coyne 59 and 198 costa. A COLLISION AT LLANFAIR. John Howatson, of Plas Ucha.. Llansannan, was summoned for being drunk while in charge of a horse and trap. P.C. Williams stated th&t on November 23rd, defendant was at Llanfair, and was so drunk that t'he trap he was driving collided with another. The shafts of defendant's trap were broken. De- fendant was incapable of standing on his feet. Mary Jane Roberts, Plas Uch&, corroborated, and said 8 WAS in the trap with which de- fendant collided. Defendant, who did not appear, was fined 21 and 158 oosts.

AN ECHO OF THE EAST DENBIGHSHIRE…
AN ECHO OF THE EAST DENBIGHSHIRE ELECTION. A PROSPECTIVE CANDIDATE AND HIS HELPER. CLAIM AGAINST MR HOWELL WILLIAMS. (From Our Reporter). One of the prospective Liberal candidates for the representation of East Denbighshire, after the promotion of Mr S. Moss to the judicial bench, was Mr Howell Williams, J.P., London. In the final selection, Mr Hexrtmerde headed the poll. For the purpose of helping him in his oandidature, Mr Williams asked Mr Alfred Ivor Parry, solicitor, Pwllheli, to corno to the con- stituency. That help resulted in a. County Court action, which was heard last week, at Pwll- heii, before his Honour Judge Wm. Evans, Mr Parry claiming from Mr Howell Williams a balance of" £23 lQe for services rendered. Mr Woods, Liverpool, appeared for plaintiff, and Mr Llewelyn Williams, M.P., for the defen- dant. Counsel for the plaintiff said that the defen- dant oame to Pwllheli and asked him to act as his agent, when a vaoanoy occurred III the re- presentation of Eivion, and plaintiff agreed. He had had considerable experience in electioneering work, a.nd Mr Williams wanted him to use that experience and exercise his influence in further- ing Mr Williams' candidature for the Eivion Division. Mr Parry worked for about a. fort- night, but Mr Williams wa^ not selected in the final voting. Plaintiff claimed £ 88 for his service and disbursement. He charged £4 4s a day. The claim was paid. There was another bye- election—at East Denbighshire. Six candidates were in the field, and the defendant was one of them. He wanted plaintiff to do the same kind of work a.t East Denbighshire as he had dome in Eivion. Plaintiff was to say that Mr Williams came out as a Welsh Nationalist. Mr Parry went there and worked for the defendant. Nothing was said about remuneration, and plaintiff, therefore, thought that he would be paid four guineas a day, the same as he re- ceived when working in the Eivion Division, to- gether with out-of-pocket money. Mr Parry was in East Denbighshire for six days, working for the defendant, and appointing agents and canvassing. Defendant was not adopted. as a candidate. Nothing was heard by Mr Parry from Mr Williams after that for several months. Then, a letter was sent to him about payment of plaintiff's remuneration, but no reply was re- ceived. Another application was forwarded, and then a. cheque came for seven guineas. Mr Parry sent no acknowledgment. For six months nothing was heard of the matter. The cheque was cached, and credit for the amount received was given. In July or August last, the plaintiff wanted to borrow JB50 from the defendant, who rightly but kindly wrote to say that he had made it a rule not to lend any money. Plaintiff, in reply, ex- pressed regret at Mr Williams' refusal to oblige him by a loan, especially since he had not set- tled Mr Parry's account against him. A large amount was due to Mr Pa.rry. Plaintiff had been paid £38 for similar work in the Eivion Division. Defendant took no notice of Mr Parry's letter. Mr Llewelyn Williams: He was in Amerioa. at the time. Mr Woods: Four guineas per day and five guineas out-of-pocket expenses were not unrea- sonable charges. Afterwards defendant wrote a. letter, in which he repudiated the account, and preferred not to discuss details with plaintiff, and said that his solicitor, Mr J. T. Lewis, would adjudicate upon the matter. Nothing came of this, and plaintiff pressed for settlement. A summons was issued. The Taxing Master re- fused to deal with the bill until this Court had decided in what capacity plaintiff acted. The Judge: As a friend, or in his professional capacity, or as a.ge.nt? The point for me is, "Is there liability?" Mr Woods: Whether the oharges are profes- sional or unprofessional ? The Judge: I do not think so. ELECTIONEERING IN EIVION AND EAST DENBIGH. Plaintiff said that wthen Mr Bryn Roberts was elevated to the judicial bench, the defendant, ww) was a stranger to him, called, and said ne was ooming out as a candidate for the constitu- ency. There were others in the field. Witness took him round the district,—to Llaabedrog. Lbaengan, Llangian, and other places. He rc- quested plaintiff to work in his interest, and he did so for a. fortnight. Mr Williams did not ask plaintiff what his charges would be but simply 5"01 A1LIn bijJ, a 2nd ho would pay A bill wae gent for £ 38 1b 4d, which was paid per return of post. Mr Ll. Wilhams: The defendant made no com- plaint about the charges? Plaintiff: No. He asked me to do similar work fotr him in East Denbighshire. I went there at onoe, as I knew the principal agent must be on tho spot. I wrote to defendant about the matter, afnd h told me to go at cnoe. He wired to that effect, and said he came out as a Welsh Nationalist. He Baid nothing to me about re- muneration. I was six days in East Denbig-h- shire, and during that time could not do any office work. When at the Imperial Hotel, Wrex ham, defendant g-.ve me a guinea.. I paid rail- way fares and my hotel expenses, telegrams, etc. ino only voucher I have is my hotel bill. My out-of-poeket expenses amounted to £5 1113. Piamtiff then gave evidence in support of coun- sel a statements about the applications for pay- ment of the accounts. When a replyoame plain- 'ff surprised to read that defendant thought the work should have been done for friendship e sake. When the oheque for seven guineas oame, plaintiff was very angry, and did W SS7 .V letter> and ^en the mlu ter was allowed to slide. In August he wanted £ 5QneyT^ Tr°te to de,fendant fo,r a loan of £ 50. The reply was to the effect that he never lent money, and expreesed his regret There was no suggestion made as to friendship. Cr^xamined plaintiff said he had taken part in local elections several times and in Par- hamcntary elections. They were all in Pwllheli tll n r lought for 'himself in local elec- tions. Defendant was quite a stranger to him but he thought that his (plaintiff's) popular^ v j to 111 m- He was his sole WW w-?r' appointed three sub-agents What Mr Williams paid him for his services to Eivion was more than he oould have expected he was goiierous, but few people could do for him wnat he (plaintiff) did. When defendant asked im to go to East Denbighshire he went to the constituency. He was to appoint agents and to do other work. He was there during tile mimic election, but left the county before the election. The question to decide in the test W~lch,°f -the six candidates shoufd rwh'6v He (plaintiff) did not know East Denbighshire at all, and could not know who to get. as agents. He stayed at the Imperial Hotel at Wrexham and paid a bill of 29s there. He introduced Mr Wdliams to Mr Kendrick and went about canvassing with that gentleman He also appointed an agent at Rhos. After' Mr He rumor do was selected he (plain: iff) spoke in Welsh at his meeting, and Mr Evan R Davies came adso there. The cheque was for more than his out-of-pocket expenses. He went up to London, and stayed with defendant. It was after cashmg tne cheque that he asked for loan of £ 50. He did not make out his bill at tho time. His friendship ho did not believe in to test, it he applied for the JE50 loan. Re-examined, plaintiff said he worked in East Denbighshire the samo as he did in Eivion De fendant never told him that he was on a different footing to what he was in Eivion. "A MATTER BETWEEN FRIENDS." For the defence, Mr Howell Williams eaid he wrote to Mr Parry about the East Denbighshire election, and asked if he could help him in his proposed candidature. No copies were kept of the correspondence. It was all a matter be- tween friends. Defendant's letter did not ap- point Parry his agent in any form. In explana- tion of the telegram referred to by plaintiff it was sent in "accordance with the terms of the correspondence that had taken place between them, and plaintiff was told to carry out what he suggested, but it did not mean in any way that he was appointed eloction agent. They stayed at the Imperial Hotel. Witness migiit have been there for two or three days. They want to see Mr Kendrick, and plaintiff introduced defendant to that gentleman. Parry went about with Williams in the latrer's motor car, and to say that plaintiff was also to receive four guineas a day and his expenses was ridiculous. Plaintiff I was not known in the district, and he (defendant) thought he did everything out of friendship, and not as paid agent. At the Imperial Hotel the plaintiff asked for a guinea, being short of cash, and that amount was given him. Parry wrote two or three times afterwards, and witness re- plied. Some months later plaintiff applied for the loan of JB50, which was refused. Then came the bill for balanoe of claim. Witness consid- ered the seven guineas absolutely enough for what Parry had done. Steps were taken to tax plaintiff's bill, and the case came before the Taxing Matter. Defendant said the bill was the first intimation he received of what Parry's charges were. Cross-examined, defendant said he did not refuse to pay because he felt disappointed at not being chosen a candidate. Plaintiff was his sole agent in Eivion, but in East Denbighshire he was not doing the same work Defendant, in further cross-examination, said I that plaintiff called upon him in London, and was entertained; plaintiff would be on the same route

Professor Anwyl, who was moot cordially greet- ed on rising, said he deeply appreciated the words of the Chairman, and on behalf of his col- leagues and himself he thanked him. There were men on the Central Welsh Board who de- voted a great deal of time, and that with zeal and devotion, to the furthering of the educational sytslem of Wales. Many had worked on the Board from the very commencement, and many of the most prominent amongst thean were oont. nooted with the oounty of Denbigh (applause). So long as they had men amongst them who were prepared to devote their time to the cause of education, so long would it progress, and he hoped that it would in the future achieve even greater success than in the past. The work done in the past had found ample reward in the success of the system for which they ha-d worked (applaaise). It was most pleasing to find that there was great interest taken in the secondary system, in Wales, not only in the large centres, but in the smaller districts. It was also gratify- ing to note that Denbighshire had won renown in the educational history of Wales (applause). It was a county which had produced many great men, and it was a county which was playing a no important part in the development of the edu- cationtal system. While the whole county was d'oimg its part, they should not lose sight of the fact that the Abergele School, as a unit in the secondary system, had also nobly done its share (apiplauseV He had watched the progress that school had made, and pa-rtioularly so in the at- tention given to the Wel&h language. Tihe whole atmosphere of the school was a striking feature of it, and he was particularly struck by the splendid system the headmaster had introduced' of teaching geography. It was a most admir- lliblo system. It wae suited to the needs of the scholars, and it fitted them when they left school for a commercial career. It was necessary that they should suit the conditions of life of the pupilis, and it was necessary that EDUCATION SHOULD NOT BE ONE-SIDED. From what he had seen of the schood there was nothing one-sided, and the splendid exercise they had witnessed that day showed th&t the physical side of school life was not neglected (applause). They had to remember that in the battle of life there were other nations in com- petition with them. The American people spent a great deal of money on education, and that was a nation with wdlem they were in oom-q petition in a friendly c.pirit. One of the great- est assets of a nation was the physical develop- ment of its Children, and they could no more afford to allow their children to be taught in ill-equipped and badly lighted schoolrooms than they could afford to have schools under-staffed. It had been a pleasure to him to watch the physical exercises that afternoon, and to see that the body as well as the mind was being pro- perly trained. GROWTH OF OOUNTY SCHOOLS. Continuing, Professor Anwyl said the year that had passed told the same tale as its predecessors of the growth of the County Schools, and the eager desire of the parents of Wades, even at the cost of great sacrifices to themselves, to give their children the benefit of the excellent edu- cation which the County Schools provided. In several districts the 'provision of adequate accom- modlation had in consequence become acute, and in some places the muclrto-IDe-regrettod spec- tacle was witnessed of children being necessarily refused admission from lack of room. This clearly showed that increased funds were ur- gently needed to enable the schools of the Welsh system to cope with the public deeoand for secondary education. Nor was it only for in- creased accommodation that funds were needed, but also for placing the staffing of the schools in a thoroughly satisfactory candation, and for en- abling the energetic and hard-working masters and mistresses of the schools to -work under con- ditionc, which would bring out their best endea.- vowv,, and in a great measure hinder the oon- stant changes among the members of the school staff that so much disturbed the continuity of teaching and impaired the efficiency df the schools. It was most, important too, that the time of the mastem sond mistresses when out of sohool should not beunduly burdened with the drudgery of correcting the exercises of the pu- ll1a.. Irwied, one of the most painful features of the present situation was the occurrences of oases of breakdown in the health, especially of come of the assistant mistresses in the County Schools, through the burden of excessive work. In our day every master and mistress in a echooi tboWd hare opportunities of keeping1 mtrrfiurt of the newest information in the suibjects of their teaching, and a good school reference library in the subjects of their teaching, and a. good school reference library was a necessity, not merely for the punib, but for the teacher. Much of the burden < (YJ'rTol--ting exercises to which the sp&ake;- rred arose, he said from a cause which Uit- children themselves could prevent. It was the stupid carelessness and thoughtless want of aocuracy to which many children, erem in the higher ikitages of the County School, were only too prone. Owing to the educational -methods in vogue at the present time, there was a danger lest children should expect too much done for them, and should fail to acquire those habits of individual responsibility and determina- tiom to do their utmost for themselves, with- out which they could not be fJ;.l,id to be any true education. He would appeal to the children to do their work with consummate care and the most alert intelligence-, so that they might in return receive the maximum of help from their teachers in those points that caused them real diffioulttr. Children who were lacking in this cle- mentary care and personal energy had no right to be aided by the costly machinery of modtern education with positions at school and college for which they had not the needed old-fashioned grit and force of character. The secondary schools and collegers of Wa.les existed for the help of boys and girls from every walk of life, who represented the efforts of their teadhere by the greatest personal strenuousness, carefulness, .and devotion to study on their own. The joy cf the teacher was the child who learned to re- member, not the child who learned to forget. A HIGH AIM. The County Schools of Wales, he was glad to sa.y, had made admirable progress, but great progress yet remained to be made, especially in the direction he had already indicated of mak- ing every child contribute its very utmost from its eariket years to its own education. It was here that the power a.nd responsibility of parent came in, notaibly in inculcating into the child those general mental habits of carefulness and a-ccuracy which the struggle for life in the modern world required. Unless this was done Wales could only find ere long that her educa- tional machinery with all its beauty was only clogged with the work of careless pupils and of careless teachers into whom careless pupils had developed. The time was now ripe for teaching in ediuciatiou the old leteon of individual and -personal responsibility, without which no nation had ever grown great. The County Schools were instituted not in order to teach children to play, but to work, and valuable though school gumes might be in their proper place, Wales exported each child in these schools to apply its main energies to the task of acquiring accurate knowledge. If the children did their best to remember what they learned their teachers' task would be a plepasamt one. The responsibility of the County Sahools was most exceedingly groat, as they had now to play their part in the early training of the primary as well as the secondary teacher, and he hoped that this important atpect of their work would nover be overlooked. If all con- cerned co-operated heartily the Welsh intermedi- ate system, successfully as it undoubtedly was, would attain to heights of success greater still, and enable the University of Wales, which was mow mainly fed by students from the County Schools, to rise to an unexampled pinacle of fame. So far as the Central Welsh Board was conoerned, it would not rest content until t'he secondary syetem of Wades was unquestionably the finest in the world (applause). There were now in Wales 12,000 children in the secondary schools (applause). Not only could they boast of the success of their sy&tem from the point of view of numbers, but also from the point of quality df the work done (applause). There had been a spirit of harmony and co- operation throughout the country, and it was pleasing to find so many peroms ready and will- ing to act as governors, and to do all they oould to further the system of education in which they had so miurih interest. Then, again, among the children there was co-operation, and the esprit de x>rps augured well for the suiooees of the schools (applause). In conclusion, he would say that he would in the future continue to watch the progress of that school with still greater in- terest, and he wished it every success (hear, hear). THANKS TO THE KINMEL FAMILY. The Rev. F. Jones proposed a vote of thanks to Professor ALnwyl for his address, and to Miss Frances Hughes for distributing the prizes. Ihe House oi Kinimel, he said, had always taken the deepest interest in the Abergele County School—(applause)—and the favours they had received from that family were many. The vote of thanks was carried with air,- plause. Miss Frances Hughes, in replying, said she was delighted to be present, and had listened with the greatest interest to the remarks of Pro- for Anwyl. She also thanked them for the kind references to her family, and congratulated the aohool on its success, and the splendid re- port presented. She had taken an interest in the tadnool from its formation, and wished it all 1000- oess (applause). P'roTcts^or Anwyl also replied, and reniarke4 that he had noticed that one of the scIholttjB had taken a prize for Welsh and for Greek. He was glad that Greek was not being neglected, as he felt it would be a sad day when Greek was not studied in the schools of this country. No doubt the study cf the one language Irelped the other. The proceedings clooed with a vote of tbetykf; to the Chairman, and the singing of the Na- tionwl Anbhem.
