PROPOSED CLOSING OF LLANGASTY TALYLLYN SCHOOL. The impending removal of the head teacher of Llangasty Talyllyn Non- Provided School to Brecon has led to the Breconshire Education Committee considering the advisability of closing the school, and there wpsa discussion on the subject at a meeting of the Buildings Sub-Committee, held at Brecon on Friday. Mr Idris Davies presided. A report showing the number of chil- dren attending, the distances they travelled and the distances to other (and nearest) schools, also showing the cost of the school, was presented by the Secretary (Mr A. Leonard) and the Finance Clerk Clerk (Mr W. E. Jones). Mr David Powell suggested that this was the wrong time to take such an im- portant step as closing a school, in view of the changes that were coming under the Fisher Act. Mr Garnet Morris felt that they should close the school. It was in an out of the way place, and if they could save the £365 mentioned in the report they ought to do so. Mr David Powell: 1 think we should take the opinion of the people. Why not make a little inquiry in the neigh- bourhood ? we always have an inquiry when it is proposed to build a new school. Professor Joseph Jones said that was a different matter. When they proposed to build a new school they were propos- ing to spend the ratepayers' money in this case they were proposing to save money, and if they could do so without detriment to the ratepayers they should do so. So far as he could see, of the 29 children attending Llangasty school, there would be only two or three who would be very seriously affected as regards distance if the school were closed. It seemed to him that there was a clear case for closing. The Secretary explained that if the committee decided to close the school they would have to apply to the Board of Education for permission, and it was possible that before approving the Board would hold a local enquiry. Replying to a question, the County Surveyor (Mr C. W. Best) said that as regarded the structure, the school was one of the most unsatisfactory in the county. Mr Garnet Morris remarked that the children who walked the longest distance to Llangasty Talyllyn had a school nearer them they had gone to Llan- gasty because there was such a good master. v The Chairman Thirteen of the 29 children will have-to walk a little further, and 16 will be nearer to other schools. Mr Garnet Morris No futher than others have to go. The Rev. J. J. deWinton Is there Sufficient accommodation at Llanfihangel Talyllyn and Cathedine for these children ? The Sedretary Yes, they are' of various ages and can be distributed, The Medical Officer (Dr. Colston Williams), asked for his views, said he agreed with Mr Best's opinion as to the building. Mr James Powell: I move we close the school. Mr David Powell said the bulk of the children would have to go a longer and not a lesser distance if the school were closed. If they considered the health of the children, would it be wise to make them go a longer distance in a wet country? The Rev. W. Llewellyn and Mr James Powell both claimed that to walk a longer distance would not be so injurious as attending an unhealthy school. Col. Jones-Williams said he read the report as showing that 18 children would have to go a greater distance. Mr David Powell urged that there should be some local inquiry. Prof. Joseph Jones seconded Mr James Powell's motion, The Rev. J. J. deWinton did not think Prof. Jones's argument with reference to the spending of money was sound. This was a case where private enterprise had carried on education for a long time was it wise to stop it without the people in the district being con- sulted ? Prof. Jones: Those interested can have an inquiry by asking for it. The Rev. E. Rowland The Board of Education will inquire into it for them- selves and nothing precipitate will be done. Canon Finucane suggested that the committee ought to have in mind the question of the establishment of con- tinuation schools. It would be undesirable for children who had to attend continuation schools in the evening to have to go a long distance. The Chairman This school will never be used for that it has been condemned by the Surveyor and the doctor. Mr David Powell: They don't say "condemned," Mr Chairman be fair. The Chairman They say it is one of the most undesirable schools in the county. Mr H. M. Lloyd remarked that on a balance there would be no increase of hardship if the school were closed. Mr Garnet Morris There are flihe children going over two miles to Llan- gasty, and there would be only six going over two miles if the school were closed. There is no increase of hardship in my opinion. Col. Jones-Williams If these children are sent to the other schools named, will it raise the grade of those schools ? The Secretary No.

LLANDEFAELOG WAR TABLET. Memorable Gathering at Baptist Chapel. On Monday evening, the 1st inst., a large congregation assembled in Bethel Baptist Chapel, Llandefaelog, for the unveiling and dedicating of a brass tablet erected to the memory of Edgar Powell, Alfred Owens, and John Price, members of the chapel and natives of the parish, who were killed in the Great War. The service commenced with the reading of a portion of scripture and prayer by the Rev. Owen Evans (pastor). The tablet was then unveiled by Mrs F. G. Dickin- son, of Llandefaelog House, and dedicated by the Rev. A. E. Evans (vicar of Garth- brengy), at the invitation of the pastor and deaoons. Capt. F. G. Dickinson next gave a short address, in which he recalled in- stances of German cruelty, especially of the mutilation of Belgian children by the cutting off of their hands. He slso spoke of the courage shown by the three mem- bers of the chapel who had laid down their lives, and expressed the hope that their example would be followed by other young men of the parish if ever the country needed their services. The Vicar of Garthbrengy also de- livered an address. He said they were met to do honour to the memory of three men who had laid down their lives for their country. Those men enlisted cf their own free will, they were not con- scripts their friends were proud af1 the fact, and the tablet was erected to rejmind them of the heroism and bravery they displayed. He hoped that to all tne men who came to that chapel the tablet would be an inspiration and an incentive to do their duty. It was to those three men and others like them that we owed the liberty we enjoyed to-day. If the Germans had come here our fair towns and villages would have been devastated, pur men butchered, and our wives and daughters cruelly outraged. We must not be under the delusion that we had done with the past war was not over, for we had still to fight for justice, truth, and righteousness. Each one of us had his or her duty to no, to make the nation great. The nation was made up of in- dividuals, homes, and sections, and the nation was what we were, one by one. Mr Lloyd George had spoken of a better World to live in: it behoved us all to do our part to make that better world, and until there was a little more sense of responsibility and less superficiality and frivolity the new age could not be es- tablished. The Pastor spoke in high terms of the lads who had made the supreme sacrifice, and said their example would never be forgotten so long as the tablet remained on the walls of the chapel to testify for them. It is an interesting fact that the tablet was paid for with a sum of money granted from the Llandefaelog and Garthbrengy Soldiers' Welcome Home Fund.

Mr Dd. Fisher poirited out that the children would still be going to non- provided schools, so that there was no question of religious hardship. Mr David Powell: It is not a case of whether it is a Oouncil or a Church school it is a question of the children. Mr A. Beckwith thought it was an important point that the children would be able to attend other non-provided schools. The motion to recommend the closing of the school was carried.
