Bo rQ of Guardians.
Bo rQ of Guardians. The fortnightly meeting of the Aberystwyth Board of Guardians was held on Monday morning at the Union Workhouse, Mr W. A. Miller pre- siding. There were also present Messrs Hugh Hughes. G. Fossett Roberts, B. Ellis Morgan, Rev T. A. Penry. and Edwin Morris, Aberystwyth Rev John Davies and Ed. Jones, Cenlanymaesmawr; John Morgan, Cwmrheidol; Wm. Morris, Cyfoethy- brenin David Edwards, Llanilar; Evan Lewis, Llan Haminiog; John Jones, Llan Mefenydd and Wm. Hughes. Vaenor Upper; with Hugh Hughes (clerk), and J. C. Davies (deputy clerk). OUT RELIEF. I The amount of out-relief administered during the past fortnight was as follows :—Per Mr J. J. Hughes, £ 38 19s to 146 paupers; per Mr Thos. Vaughar., £ 45 9s 4d to 158 paupers; and per Mr J. Morgan. £48 18s to 141 paupers. HOUSE COMMITTEES REPORT. The report of the House Committee was pre- sented by the Rev T. A. Penry. The Committee bad re-elected Mr Penry as chairman for the ensuing year. It was also reported that Capt. Daniel Evans had discharged himself that morning from the House, and had since asked the relieving officer for a ticket of re-admission that evening. It was stated that this person entirely ignored every regulation of the House, and broke loose whenever he liked, and afterwards sought re- admission, The Clerk was asked his opinion as to the best method of dealing with the man, and he replied that they could not refuse the man admission into the House if he was destitute. After some discussion, the Clerk said he would make enquiries and ascertain what action could be taken to prevent the man going in and out of the House at his own pleasure. At a later stage of the meeting the Clerk said in his opinion the only way to deal with the man was to place him on an able-bodied diet for a fortnight, and should he attempt to leave the House again, that the Master should compel him to take his box with him. BOARDING OUT COMMITTEE. A communication was read from Mrs Colby, secretary of the Boarding Out Committee, sub- mitting reports regarding the welfare of the different children boarded out, and toward whose maintenance the Board contributed. In each case it was t! •iMren were kept clean, well- fed. and attended school regularly. The Chairman remarked that the reports were very satisfactory. In reply to the Rev. T. A. Penry, the Clerk said the agreements rega-ding these children had not yet been signed, but they would be •shortly. z, DISTRICT NURSE ASSOCIATION. Regarding the representation of the Guardians on the District Nurse Association, to which a con- tribution is annually given, Miss G. Purton, secre- tary, wrote stating that no representative could be appointed except at the annual meeting of the Association. If the matter was brought forward at the next annual meeting she felt sure the request z!1 would be granted. RESOLUTIONS. A letter was read from Mr Vaughan Davies, M.P., stating it would give him great pleasure to support the resolution passed by the Board in refer- ence to the maintenance of widows and orphans of soldiers who died or were killed while on active service being made a charge on the National Ex- chequer. The second resolution with regard to the relations of Boards of Guardians and the Local Government Board lie did not quite understand, and would be pleased to know upon what lines they required reform. Rev. T. A. Penry: We did not pass that resolu- tion. Notice was given, but it was withdrawn. The Clerk: I will correct that then. CLERGYMAN AND HIS MOTHER'S SUPPORT. A lengthy communication was read from the clergyman whose mother had applied to the Guardi- ans for relief. The Clerk's letter, he said, was the first direct intimation he had received from any source of such an application by his mother. He was much grieved that she had made the applica- tion, as he and his two brothers had supported her for three years. He had mad? an arrangement with his brothers, whereby he undertook to pay the rent of the house in which his mother lived, while the others undertook the responsibility of her maintenance. It was incorrect to state that his salary was Z160 a year, it being, he was sorry to say, only £94 per annum. The members felt that the explanation was a very satisfactory ;;ne, zr,(i were convinced that the son had done ail that could be expected of him towards the support of his mother. CORRESPONDENCE. The Clerk read a letter from the Association of Poor Law Unions upon the question of the exten- sion of the period for repayment of loans from 30 years to 80 or 100 years. o With regard to the Dew valuation of the property of the two railway companies within the Board's jurisdiction, the Clerk said he had received a communication from the valuers (Messrs. Michael Faraday aud Rodgers), who said they bad been in communication with the railway companies, and their representative would pay a visit to Aber- ystwyth this week. MASTER'S REPORT. The Master reported that the inmates at the House the first week of the past fortnight numbered 43. and a similar number the second week, as com- pared with 50 the corresponding periods of last year. Twenty vs~nts were relieved the first week as against 15 in the corresponding period of last year, and 10 during the second week as against 25. A STRANGE CASE. Mr John Morgan reported a strange case from his neighbourhood. He said there z! was an old woman there who was starving herself to death, and had had no fire in the house for several days. She had money in her possession, but had placed it under the bed, and would allow no one to touch it. He (Mr Morgan) bad ordered one cwt. of coal for the ho:i-e. and had also bought some bread and butter for the woman. In the course of discussion, it was stated the woman had a son and daughter, and it was eventually decided to communicate with these, informing them of the facts of the case.
l -0. Aberystwyth College…
l -0. Aberystwyth College Sports The twentieth annual athletic sports of the University College of Wales were held on Saturday afternoon on the College grounds in Smitbfield. During the early hours of the morning rain fell heavily, and those interested in the event must have had forebodings that the proceedings would not be favoured with the customary Queen's weather. As the morning wore on the clouds scattered, and the sun shon-1 brillinrtV "nd when the band reminded people it was time to move towards the field, the ground was in splendid condition for competitors and spectators alike. The entries was not as large I as on previous occasions nor were the competitions as numerous, an item conspicuous by its absence being the Inter-Collegiate race which always excites considerable interest. Still the arrangements were characterized with unusual promptitude, and the committee and secretaries are to be congratulated on the aianer in which they discharged their duties. The gathering was I z;1 enlivened with selections of music by the town band under the leadership of Mr. Jack Edwards. Those connected with the society included the followingPatrons the Right Hon. Sir William Harcourt, M.P. the Right Hon. Lord Rendel, the Right Hon. Lord Aberdare, the Right Hon. Lord Tredegar, the Countess of Lisburne, Colonel E. Pryce-Jones, M.P. Messrs J. C. Harford, Falcon- dale D. C. Roberts, A. J. Hughes, J. R. Loxdale, W. P. Owen, J. D. Perrott, R. Williams, W. Morton, Aberystwyth Cycling Club, Officials; President, Principal Roberts; Judges, Prof Edwards, Dr Snape Messrs A.J. Hughes and W. P. Owen. Starter, Mr J. C. Rea. Stewards, Prof Anwyl,. Prof Edwards, Prof Genese, Prof Marshall, Dr Borsdorf, Messrs T. K. Brighouse, W. P. Fuller, W. J. Johnston, J. A. Murray, J. T. Walley, and Foster Watson. Clerks of the course, Prof Angus, and Mr R. Peake. Time- keepers, Messrs Schott and H. Hibbert. Handi- cappers, Messrs J. R. Johnson, E. D. Evans, and T. H. Barratt. Committee, Messrs F. R. Parkes, T. H Barratt, T. Carpenter and E. J. Price. Hon. Sees., Messrs W. 1. Jones and T. Picton. The following is a list of the entries with a list of the successful competitors, viz :— 100 yards (open). Six competitors ran all of whom were studen:s of the University. l&t, W. D. Thomas; 2, W. Llewellyn; 3 F. R. Parkes. Time lli- sees. Putting the sliot.-I, R. Prosser 2, E. J. Price. Distance 27 feet. 440 yards scratch (closed).—There were five competitors in this race the prize.3 for which were given by Miss Carpenter and the lady students. Mr. Rea, the starter, got his men off well and the pace up t) the first corner was exceptionally quick. E. A. Lewis kept his rivals well in hand and a:ter a splendid run reached the winning post in 55 4-5 seconds, a second les would have beaten the College record. The second prize fell to G. B. Perrett and the third to F. R. Parkes. High jump (open).—1, E. Reggie Evans; 2, J. Bennett; 3, W. D. Thomas. Height 4ft. lOin. 100 yards handicap.—1 W. D. Thomas; 2, Aubrey Roberts; 3, W. Llewellyn. Time 10 4-5 seconds. Throwing the cricket ball.—1, C. R. Johnson; 2, H. J. Edwards. One mile scratch (open).—Of the six competitors who ran Ollett of the U.C.W. and D. Davies had been powerful rivals for the honours last year, when it was thought that if Davies had not lelt his I sprinting until too late he might have secured f-st place. This infused some interest in the race and immediately on starting each made a dash for the y I first place. The lead was secured by Ollett, Davies following about 5 yards behind with John and Lewis at his heels. This order was maintained during the second and third laps when Price took John's place. Ollett ran throughout in fine style and had a comparatively easy win, being quite 50 yards in front of Davies at the tape who likewise was as far ahead of Price. Time 5min. 5 ec. 220 yards handicap.—1, Aubrey Roberts; 2, J. Edwards, 3, H. John. Sack race-I, J. Bennett; 2, A. W. Sturge.s J, H.John. Hurdle race.—Of the 18 who had entered for this race four only competed: 1, J. Williams; 2, W. D. Thomas; 3, D. J. Evans. Long Jump, 6 competitors.-l, G. B. Perrett; 2, W. D. Thomas. The distance covered was 18 feet 5 inch, an inch below the College record wh;ch was gained by M. T. Williams in 1896. The lf-mile Handicap proved the best race of the afternoon. There were ten competitors and aZter an exciting contest E. A Le xis who had 15 yards start succeeded in breasting the tape first. C. E. Ollett, who had 10 yards handicap came in second whilst F. R. Parkes, the scratch man, made an easy third. 220 yards Fresher's race.—1, W. D. Thomas 2, G. B. Perrett; 3, A. W. Sturgess. Steeplechase handicap.—1, H. M- Jones; 2, J. Edwards 3, H, John. The Championship medal offered to the best athlete among the present students of the College was awarded to Mr W. D. Thomas who had secured 20 marks. The lucky victor was lo-idiy cheered when the presentation was made and the band struck the favourite music See the Conquering Hero comes." The prizes were afterwards gracefully distributed by Mrs Edward Edwards who addressed a few re- marks of congratulation to each winner. After this ceremony had been concluded Principal Roberts proposed and Mr W. J. Jones seconded a hearty vote of thanks to Mrs Edwards for her services. .u
Education Figures for 1899.
Education Figures for 1899. The Education Department's Annual Return" for last year has just been issued. The following facts and fgures culled from it are of local interest:— ATTENDANCE AT SCHOOL.—Mr. Legard, chief inspector for Wales, in his report eays that in Welsh Schools practically a quarter of the children on the books are absent every time the school is open." fr. Darlington, H.M.I, for this district, reports that when all possible allowance has been made for special disadvantages, it is im- possible to find any justification for such appallingly low averages as are recorded from some parishes." Wales, although still behind England in the matter of attendance, has shown some improvement during the year. The percentage of attendance for the whole of Scotland during the year was 84-3, England 82-27 (in 1898, 81-96), Wales, 77-65 (in 1898, 76-6). The percentage of attendance for Merioneth was 76-7, Carmarthenshire 76-1, Montgomeryshire 75'9. and for Cardigan- shire 74-2. The lowest county in Wales was Pembrokeshire with a percentage of 71-5. The attendance at every county in Wales, except Glamorganshire, was below the lowest county in England, which was Cornwall with 78'2. The best attendance was obtained in Bedfordshire (87-3), and tpe hilly county of Westmoreland showed' a percentage of 84-8. Glamorganshire, the best county in Wales, had a percentage of only 79-7. These figures show that a great deal of work remains still to be done by attend- ance committees and magistrates in Wales. With regard to the age at which children leave school, a table is given showing the percentage of boys and girls who remain at school after passing through the 4th Standard. Wales here very nearly touches the English standard with a percentage of 19-6, as against England's 19-7 for boys. Cardiganshire leads the Welsh counties with 23 per cent. 20 per cent. of the girls in England are kept in school beyond the 4th Standard, and 19-5 per cent. of the Welsh girls. Merionethshire here leads the Welsh counties with 21-5 per cent., and Cardigan comes 5th with 20-2 per cent., Mont- gomery and Radnor keep oi-ly 15 per cent. of the girls at school beyond the 4th Standard. SCHOOL Fl--xA.NCES.-Tlie tables spec:fying the amount spent per child in the various counties show that while Argyle spends < £ 3 7s. 8id. per ch;ld, Sutherland £:3 4s. I'd-, 4 1 the English county spending the, most per child is Middlesex with £2 13s. 5d. The Welsh county spending the highest sum is Merionethshire, which provides £2 19s. 2d. per child. Cardiganshire spends £2 4s. 7d. per child, and has two counties below it on the list, viz., Anglesey with £2 3s. 3d., and Flint with £2 2s. 2d. Of county boroughs London heads the English list with X3 9s. Id. per child. The amount provided in each county towards each child from the School Board Rates is shown in another table. From this t-ible we find that England provides a sum of £1 6s. 2d. per child from the School Board Rates, and Wales provides a sum of 18s. 5d. The Welsh comities stands as follows :— £ s. d. 1 Merioneth 1 8 10 per child from rates. 2 Carnarvon 0 19 6 3 Glamorgan 0 18 10 „ 4 Denb-'gh 0 18 6 5 Flint 0 18 6 „ „ 6 Carmarthen 0 18 3 7 Radnor 0 17 9 „ 8 Montgomery. 0 15 5 „ „ 9 Brecknock 0 15 4 10 Anglesey 0 15 1 „ 11 Pembroke 0 14 5 I 12 Cardigan 0 12 9 Cardiganshire, therefore, provides less money from local sources towards the schools than any county in Wales. SCHOOL STAFF.—There are four classes of teachers on the staffs of schools, viz., Certificated Teachers, Assistant Teachers, Pupil Teachers, and Unqualified Women Assistants, known as Art. 68's. The last two classes are evidently of very little use as teachers, but we find that while the London School Board employs no Art. 68, and only 15 per cent. of Pupl Teachers the general average percentage of each class of teacher for England for last year was-Certificated Teachers 46 per cent., Assistant Teachers 20 per cent., Pupil Teachers 20 per cent., Art. 68 14 per cent. The figures for Wales are 35, 22, 30, and 13 per cent. respectively, showing that Wales employs 11 times as many pupil teachers as England does in proportion to other classes of teachers. Cardiganshire provides 39 per cent. of Pupil Teachers on the staffs of her schools, which is the greatest proportion of any county in England and Wales. On the staffs of the Cardiganshire schools there are 52 per cent. of Pupil Teachers and Art. 68's. Mont- gomeryshire has 40 per cent., and Merioneth- shire 37 per cent. Since Cardiganshire only provides 12s. 9d. per child from the local rates it can not beexpected that the staffs provided for the schools could be other than largely made up of Pupil Teachers and Art. 68's, whose services are the cheapest obtainable.
ITHE TOWN BAND AND ITS CRITICS.
THE TOWN BAND AND ITS CRITICS. SIR,—It is quite natural that the band and its conductor should feel sore at frequent illnatured references made to them by your contemporary, but they must not think that they are alone in the receipt of unpleasant attentions at the hands of that paper, and they pay the peevish critickln too great a complement to attach so much importance to his sour effusions. They should rather regard it as a compliment to be adversely criticised by the critic whose ignorant arrogance led him to speak of the symphony to Mendelssohn's Hymn of Praise" as being' classically tedious*—just think of it! Mendelssohn—concerning whose works there is no division of opinion amongst musicians, is not up to the mark in the estimation of this infallible oracle. Praise coming from such a source would be far more disastrous to your organisation than the one-sided unkind remarks which you quoted. Those whose goodwill is of any value are not misled by these scurrilous paragraphs. You are doin-good work, and you may rest assured that it is being appreciated by the best people round you. ENCOURAGER.
THE ABERYSTWYTH TOWN BAND.
THE ABERYSTWYTH TOWN BAND. Sir,—In your last issue I learned with surprise and regret that disparaging and discouraging re- marks have been made by some contributor to a contemporary journal about the Town Band. One advantage, however, has resulted, viz., the state- ment given by the Bandmaster, which cannot fail to increase the interest in, and enhance the value of the services of this Band on the part of many of your readers. When visiting the town last sum- mer, after an interval of just twenty years, I greatly- enjoyed the Band, as evidently did the crowd on the Promenade, and could scarcely credit the fact when I was told that the Band was not professional but composed of working men. Why, sir, I don't know of any town in the United Kingdom, of the same size, where you could find so good a Band composed of working men. One's enjoyment, too, was not marred by being pestered every five minutes with a collector rattling his coin in a box under your nose and soliciting a contribution, as is the case in so many sea-side resorts. Then the remark of the Bandmaster of the Duke of York's j Royal Military School, quoted by Mr Jack Edwavis w I do not think I listened to the band critically, but I remember enjoying the music very much," is high commendation. You do not want elaborate, technical music, constructed to show off the. skill of the composer, and the dexterity of the perform- fers, on the promenade, but just such music as is usually chosen by the Bandmaster, some inspiriting, and some tranquilizing, and much that has associa- tions qnd memories that are adapted to the holi- day throng, that seated or strolling, watches the summer su:: setting behind the summer sea, in a word, enjoyable music. The town as a whole, and especially those who have houses on the Promenade, are greatly indebted to the Band for the enliven- ment it affords, and either from the Corporation or from the residents some better remuneration should be given to the performers than simply payment for their time. At all events, the cost of instrmments should not, even in part, fall upon the bandsmen. Yours sincerely, Trefor-road, SEPTIMUS MARCH. May 7th.
---The Cardigan Mild Sensation
The Cardigan Mild Sensation SIR.—I trust you will grant me a small space in your excellent paper to dwell briefly upon the erroneous impression made on the public mind in Cardiganshire as to what the law really is respect- ing the offence of furious driving on the high- ways," in the reports- of the decision recently arrived at by the Magistrates of the Cardigan Borough, in the case of Police Constable David Davies against Pritchard and others. The im- pression made by this decision is that in a charge of furious riding or driving on a highway it is absolutely necessary that it should be proved in evidence that a passenger was actually present on the road, and that his life was in actual danger. That, however, is not the law, as I will now venture to prove. There are two sections, under one or the other of which proceedings may lie, but the inter- pretation of both is the same. Section 28, of the Towns Police Clauses Act, 1847, applies in urban districts, where it is enacted that the furious driv- ing; must be to the obstruction, annoyance, or danger of the residents or passengers," and it has been held that in proceedings under this section it is not necessary even to call persons who have been actually annoyed, &c. (see Reg v. Fermanagh, J.J., 14. L.R. Ir. 50 Wooley v. Corbishley, 24 J.P. 773 Reed v. Perret, 1. Ex. D. 349; 41. J.P. 135, and other cases. It is only necessary in such cases according to the foregoing cases to prove that the furious driving or riding is such as would be a "likely" obstruction, annoyance or danger to any persop that might" be at that time on the high- way.. The other section, namely section 78, of the Highway Act 1835, applies both to urban and rural Districts. Under this section the offence is applied to l; any person riding or driving any horse who shall ride or drive the same furiously so as to endanger the life or limb of any passenger on the-high way. It must be admitted that there is no express decision on the point of whether or not there must be evidence of there being on the high- way actual persons in actual danger" in a charge under this section, as one finds under the other section, but the "interpretation "of the act makes it imperative that a similar construction must be applied under both sections. The Highway Act of 1835,. is a protective one, and it was enacted to pro- tect the public who might be walking on the high- way, that is more to prevent numerous dangers to them enumerated therein, which thelegislature then found to exist, rather than to provide a remedy only in. the case where a person had been injured, as the decision of the Cardigan Boiough would lead one to believe, for which injury a civil remedy, as the legislature then well knew already existed. However, it is forcibly true that the liberty of the highway is the birthright of every subject, but the legislature, nevertheless, has made it by now a restrictive liberty of the individual for the pro- tection of the whole, and this Act is one of the many which restricts such liberty and defines its power. Personal security is the essence of personal liberty. Following this deduction my case is briefly this. It is not necessary in such case under the Highway Act to call any person to prove that the life of the passenger (i.e., any person on the highway) has been in actual danger. It is sufficient if it is proved that the riding or driving was so furious as to endanger the life or limb of any person who "might'' have been present on the highway, and it is obvious that the qualifying expressions of this section were therein inserted to indicate the nature" of the riding or driving that is to be considered "furious" or otherwise, and as one cannot possibly consider galloping harmless and not dangerous to persons who might be present therein, it must therefore follow that it is an offence in law to gallop on the Queen's highway.— Yours faithfully,
CORRIS.
CORRIS. RAILWAY PROSECUTIONS.—At Towyn Petty Ses- sions on Friday last-before Mr Humphrey Davies, MrJJ. Haydn Jones, and Marmaduke L. Lewis- JOB" Williams, quarryman, Aber Corris, was charged by the Corris Railway Company with refusing to produce his ticket when requested by the guard on the 14th April. Mr J. Jenkins, solicitor, Machyn- lleth, appeared for the prosecution, and Mr Woos- nam, solicitor, Newtown, for the defence. Evidence in support of the charge was given by the guard, Evan Griffiths. For the defence it was stated that there was no room in the train to sit down, and the defendant kept the ticket for production in case he thought it necessary to bring an action against the company, he having been obliged to stand all the way from Machynlleth to Esgergeiliog. The Bench said there had been, no doubt, a technical offence, but did not think it necessary to impose a penalty, and so dismissed the charge.—Robert Williams, also a quarryman, of Braichgoch, was charged with a similar offence on the 26th April. The same legal gentlemen appeared. The evidence in this case was that defendant would not give up his ticket until the train stopped, and then refused to give it to the guard, but gave it to the stationmaster at Esgergeiliog instead. The magistrates imposed a fine of 6d, and also ordered defendant to pay 8s 6d costs.
