If not, the County Authority wished to urge the Council to take steps in that direction. Mr R. D, Jones proposed that circulars be sent out in order to ascertain if there were any probable applicants for sma II hold- ings in the district.

Mr T. J. Owen said that the Council ¡ wero simply playing with the matter. The grovno which was last erected had not served its purpose, and he moved that fifteen yards instead of ten yards should be added to it. Mr Robert Hughes suggested that the question should be deferred, but eventually it was decided to add fifteen yards to the groyne. VITAL STATISTICS. The report of Dr Fraser for the month of June showed that two births occurred, as against six for the corresponding month last year, the number of deaths being four

NEW SCHOOL AT CAPEL CURIG. OPENING CEREMONY. SPEECH BY MR W. JONES, M P. Capel Curig, the well-known Carnarvon- shire summer resort, presented an animated appearance on Saturday, when the village was invaded by a large number of educa- tionists and others, who had travelled a con- siderable distanco through the snow-coveret. roads to take part in the opening of the now Council School. Situate at a high altitude, resting in a mountain fastness, commanding a magnifi- cent view of the Snowdon and her sister heights, and surrounded by wild and en- chanting scenery, the village fuUy justifies its reputation as an ideal summer resort lor visitors. On Saturday the visitor was favoured with a fine opportunity to view the wild scene, robed in its winter attire. A mantle of pure white snow disguised tho somewhat rugged hills, giving them tho aspect of an arctic scene. Lofty Snowdon presented the appearance of a gigantic sugar loaf. which glistened in the subdued rays of the winter sun. Although tho scene was suggestive of tho rigours of the North Pole, the air was dry and mild. By about 1.30 p.m., a large crowd of ladies and gentlemen had assembled in front of the new school buildings, in order to participate in the opening function. While the visitors were enjoying an excellent repast provided by the ladies of the parish, the genial mem- ber for the division, Mr W- Jones, chattered freely with his admirers; while the ever- ready veteran, "Ellis Nant," enchanted a large audienco with his quaint remi- niscences- The new school building was planned by Mr Rowland Lloyd Jones. M.S.A., Carnar- von, and msteralised by the well-known con- tractor, Mr John Jones, Penllan, Pentre- foelas, both of wham are to be congratulated upon their work. q The new school is a commodious and con- veniently planned building, situate on the London and Holyhead road with a souther- ly aspect. All the rooms throughout are lofty, airy, well-lighted and ventilated. The school is divided into three classrooms as follows :— Mixed Department: No. 1. Classroom, 19- ft. G-ins, by 22-ft., to accommodate 42 schol- ars. Mixed Department: No. 2 Classroom, 19-ft. 6-ins. by 2ft" to accommodate the samo number. Infant Department: No. 3 Classroom, 19-ft. by 23-ft., to accommodate 46 scholars—the total accommodation being for 130 scholars. On either side of the school are two separate cloakrooms, one for tho girls aud infants, and the other for the boys; while over the entrances arc the fol- lowing inscriptions: "Becligyn," Genethod a Babanod," and on the gable fronting tho road Ysgo] Cynghor, 1£)()7," All the rooms are fitted with open fire- places, and the floors aro of wood blocks. The school is equipped on tho mast, modern lines. The furniture is of oak. and the ven- tilation and sanitary fittings are of the best. The offices are well arranged, lighted, and ventilated, and commodious uiaysbeds are provided- The cost of buildings, including boundary walls, offices, playslied. etc., is £ 1,650, and tho furnishing £100. The area of the site, including the old and new land purchased, is about an acre. The Clerk of Works was Mr Hugh Parry, of Tegfan Terrace, L!andeg#an, Anglesey. TIIE OPENING CEREMONY- At 1.45 p.m.. when the large room was filled to its utmost capacity, Mr D- G. Jones, of Maenan, took the chair, and was accompanied on the platform by Col. Darbi- shire, Mr W. Jones, M.P.; Ellis o'r Nant," Rev. T. J. James, Rev. Siniiet Jones (rec- tor), and Mrs Jones, Mrs Parry (Bettwsy- coed). Mr E. It. Davies (secretary, Educa- tion Committee), Mr Rowland Lloyd Jones (county architect), Mr John Jones (contrac- tor), Mr R. E. Thomas, Rev. H. H, Roberts, and Mr Henry Roberts. The school children havine- opened the proceedings with a chorus, the chairman, without addressing the meeting, called upon Col. Darbishire-. Col. Darbishire congratulated the parish- on having acquired such a splendid erection for the tuition of the children, it was also a matter for congratulation that their worthy representative, Mr W. Jones, took such keen interest in the work of education. Ho (Mr Jones) attended the function at considerable 'inconvenience, having tra- velled from London purposely to take part in it (applause). Ho was also delighted to observe the unity that prevailed amidst the Churchmen and Nonconformists in the dis- trict as was exemplified in the presence of the Rector, and the Rev. Sinnett Jones and Mrs Jones upon tho platform (applause). Tho building was an example of what a small district could do on behalf of educa- tion. It had been an expensive undertak- ing, but it would have proved false economy not to provide tho children with proper facilities to acquire knowledge, and ex- penses wero increasing by leaps and bounds, but the educational system of the county was also advancing at the samo ratio (applause). As an example of the rapid advancement of the new system, a school erected at Bethcsda 15 years ago was now declared out of date. It was not large enough to accommodate the children who attended it, and did not meet the present- day requirements. A system was now re- quired which was not anticipated 20 years ago. Therefore it was essential to antici- pate future requirements while planning new school buildings. The new school had been erected to accommodate, 130 pupils, for although there were only 106 on the school books, in the near future the extra space would be probably required. The school had cost JLJC 6s per head of tho population, and was equipped with every modern appliances necessary to an elemen- tary school They were indebted to Mr E. R. Davil's, the secretary of tho Education Committee, who had kept that authority up to the mark. Mr Davies had evinced great. interest in the movement, and had not been satisfied until it. had been accom- plished (applause). They were happy in having acquired honest reliable contractors in the firm of Messrs John Jones and Sons, who, he hoped, would be equally successful with their contract at Penmaclmo (applause) They wero also indebted to the ability of Mr R. Lloyd Jones, the county architect, who drew the design so effectively. He also wished to tender thanks to Mrs Mat- thew Roberts and other ladies for the ex- cellent refreshments provided for tho visi- tors (anohiuse). SPEECH BY MR W. JONES. M.P. Mr WT. J ones, M.P., expressed his plea- sure in participating in tlie function. Ho had travelled frObl London purposely to join in the general rejoicings, and to de- clare tho premises open (applause). There was no educational authority in the Em- pire v. hicli had done more for education than tile Carnarvon Education Committee (applausei. The Government of GO years since had sent an inspector to Wales to inquire into the moral and educational con- dition of the country, and leuan Guy- nedd" had raised an outcry against his pal- pably unjustifiable report on the moral con- dition of the people. In his report of the Capel Curig School—this was, of course, before the time of tho Rev. Sinnett Jones or Col. Darbishire (laughter)—he found the following entry:— Whilst some of the scholars were exa- mined, the others were playing or staring at me. The scholars were not taught in classes, as the school was not provided with IHoper books. The building was very damp, earth having been heaped up at the back to the height of 13 feet, causing water to How through and cover the floor"—"the children," added Mr Jones, "having to swim home" (laughter). A Voice: That is a lib, anyhow (laughter). Mr Jones continued: "The room was too dark, only having three small windows, with twelve pains broken. Between these and the holes in the door tho room was well ventilated. Tho floor was of stone, and tho room only contained two rickety desks, be- ing only sufficient to accommodate six chil- dren. It contained one ragged map of the Holy Land, a few torn books, while in a corner a pile of wood was heaped." A Voice: It is a lie. Mr Jones suggested that the interrupter had ained his knowledge under the circum- stances mentioned, and was acting in accor- dance with the principles he then imbibed (laughter). Mr Jones added that was 60 years ago. What a contrast they to- day. He was very pleased to declare the school open, not only to the children of to-day, but to gcnc-rations to come (ap- plause). It was a matter for congratula- tion t}3at to-day the Welsh language was taueht in the public schools. Tn the past the master carried out his instructions in laboured Saesneg Coc-h," and would never address the scholars in the vernacular, al- though he understood Welsh far better than English. Now they had a Welshman as Government Inspector—Mr O. M. Edwards (applause). Most of the old schoolmasters were ancient wariiors wit wooden legs (laughter) but that anomaly had been swept aside, and the schools were now provided with efficient staffs (applause). After dwel- ling upon the advancement of education generady during the reign of Queen Vic- toria, the lion, member urged that masters and teachers should" take the scholars out of doers to commune with nature, to see the natural element In its material fact." Under the new Education Bill, Wales would receive about a million pounds sterling to spend upon education, so that the high ideals of Wales in regard to education in the near future be realised (bud ap- plause). EXAMINATION SYSTEM CRITICISED. The Rev. Shinet Jones caressed a hope that the school would prove the success it was expected to be. and proceeded to say that the system of examination was unfair to the workman who received about 12s a week, who child had to compete with rich men's children, who wero, he said,, coached by tutors. There ought to be scholarships for workmen's children alone, and not open to all classes, as at present (applause). Mr E. n, Davies said that Mr Peter Mclntyre, of Llanrwst, had been anxious to be present, but, owing to illness, had been forced to absent himself. He (the speaker) was excecdi ngly plea sed that Capel Curig had been 'provided with such a fine struc- ture. He hoped the scholars would attain distinction, and be a credit to the district (applause). "MUST HAVE WORKERS." "Ellis o'r Nant" said it would not be ad- visable to impart into every child's mind a craving for the light work peculiar to pen and ink (laughter). The land had to be ploughed, the mountains robbed of their hidden treasures, tho industry of the coun- try in all its branches had to be worked, and they must have workers to fulfil the destinies of the nation (applause) The Rev. H. H. Roberts said the old school had done good work, or else Capel Curig would not occupy the important posi- tion it did that day (applause). It was, however, high time to have a change, as the old building was "too ancient." He proposed a vote of thanks to Mr W. Jones for his presence. Mr Henry Roberts, Bettwsycoed, se- conded, and the resolution was adopted with acclamation. Mr Jones having briefly responded, a vote of thanks was accorded the Chairman, moved by Mr R. E. Thomas. The meeting ended with the Welsh National Anthem. V'I.
