David Evans, Llanwneii: Air. U, E. Tie van, Llanarth. and Capt. Davies, Llandyssul with Air. Jenkin James (clerk), and Mr. G. Dickens Lewis (architect). Principal Bebb tendered to the Chairman on behalf of the Committee congratulations on his appointment as High Sheriff of the county, and honourable if houoiary office, l'he vote was accorded with acclamation, and Air. Roberts suitably acknowledged. The architect Clr. Dickens-Lewis) was appointed a delegate to attend the congress or the Royal Sanitary Institute to be held at Bristol in July next. Alessrs. R. E. Be van and J. ap- pointed delegates to attend the annual con- ference of the N.I .1. to bo held at Scar- borough in April next. A letter was read from the Board of Edu- cation urging the necessity of providing ad- ditional accommodation at Alexandra-road Boys' School, Aberystwyth, and at Tal- garreg Council School. In regard to the former school, the Board stated that as no doubt considerable time would elapse before the M. and f. "Railway Company excercise their powers to purchase, steps should be taken to provide the necessary accommoda- tion by adapting for school purposes the master's house, which was used at present for the holding of classes, but which was net suitable from a hygienic point of view.-— Tho Chairman said they might know in two or three weeks whether the school premises would be required by the "Railway Company, and he thought the matter should be re- ferred to the District Committec.-Tho Architect said he went over the school the previous day with Air. Darlington, and they agreed upon what alterations were necessary at the school, AN-Iliell would cost about -The T. Alason Jones proposed that a sum of £ 50 be spent in making the neces- sary repairs.—Mr. C. -11. Williams thought it was useless to spend this money when they would know in a short time whether the school premises would be required or not.— The Clerk said the Board of Education were holding over the payment of grants in re- spect of this school until they received a satisfactory reply as to the Commjtitee's liltentioti.Ilr. Williams said he could not understand why this pressure was brought to bear at the present time, seeing that there were only a few more children in the school this year as compared with last. The matter should be dealt with in a spirit of reasonableness.—The matter was referred to the District Committee with authority to expend a sum not exceeding {;50.-Th letter in reference to Talgarreg School was also referred to the District Committee for report. A letter from the Headmaster of Castell Flemish Council School requesting a reduc- tion in the rent of the school dwelling house. was referred to the Finance Committee. A letter was read from the secretary of the Aberayron branch of the calling attention to the insufficient supply of school requisitions.—Air. R. Bevan said this com- plaint was general throughout South Wales owing to the smallness of the limit. In this county it was 3s. per head per annum. He proposed that the matter be referred to the Finance Committee.—Principal Bebb said lie had been informed that the limit in some places in South Wales was as low as 2. (kl. and 2s.—The Chairman said there were four applications from Headmasters for requisi- tions above the amount allowed in tlie limit. He considered the 3s. limit quite higli enough, but to meet these cases he proposed that the requisitions be allowed but that the amount" expended should be deducted from next year's allowance.—This suggestion was agreed to. Applications by the Headmaster of Cilcen- nin and St. David's (.Llandyssul) Schools for | increases of salary were referred to the Finance Committee. The Board of Education wrote complain- ing of overcrowding at C\vmpadarn Council School, and stating that unless steps were taken sum to remedy the defect, the grant for the current year would be seriously en- dangered.— Referred to the District Com- mittee. The Chairman said he had received a peti- tion signed by 20 or 30 persons in the dis- trict of the St. David's Council School, Llan- dyssul. He (the Chairman) was of opinion that this school required serious attention, and ho understood that Mr. E. J. Davies. New Quay, who was the chairman of the small committee appointed last year, had been in communication with some of the par- ents and others connected with the-school during the last month or two.—Air. Davies, he hoped, would be present at the next meeting, to be held in a month's time, and possibly they would get some communica- tion from him in reference to a settlement of the matter. He suggested that the mat- ter be deferred until the next meeting. Some steps would have to be taken soon, un- less the headmaster and parents came to an understanding.—On the proposition of Air. J. Rees, seconded by Air. 1). Evans, the mat- ter was deferred till the next meeting. The Chairman drew attention to the con- ference to be held at Cardiff on the 23rd inst to discuss the question of a Welsh. Edu- cation Council. Eyidently the delegates to attend that conference could not be ap- pointed by the proper bodies/ but he sug- gested that they should appoint delegates that dav,-The names of the Chairman, Dr. Evans. Principal Roberts, and Air. C. AI. Williams were propose- C. AI. Wil- liams said the conference had been called in a great hurry, and no public body had had the opportunity to deliberately appoint de- legates. The basis intended for the calling of the meeting was the old basis of two or three years ago. and they knew things had changed very much since then. The scheme drawn up then also hardly satisfied anybody, and he was glad to fuid that the leaders of the movement were alive to time, and, he believed, were now anxious to submit a scheme which would meet with the approval of all the counties. This should include proper representation for the thinly-popu- lated districts, but which have a large num- ber of schools, and aiso the putting oi cue financial arrangements on a better footing than in the old scheme.' He thought if a rough scheme was first drawn up ior con- sideiation, they would then have something substantial to go upon at a conference. Al- though he did not "ish to complain ot Car- diff having been selected as the place for the holding of the conference, still he thought- a better centre could have been chosen for the holding of a national gathering of this kind. If rumour was correct, he believed defeated Conservative candidates, and Bis- hops were to be summoned to the confer- ence. If that was so, he did not think the conference could end satisfactorily. If Wales was to have a proper representation, the County Councils and Education Com- mittees should be the electing bodies. He agreed that the d iff erent counties must give and take in the settlement of the question, and he hoped after a full and friendly dis- cussion they would arrive at something defiiilte.T-ite Chairman said they must all feel the force of what Mr. Williams had said. but he hoped that out of tho conference further meetings would be held. He failed to see that any conference called in the way this had been, could arrive at any final de- cision. Some of the delegates appointed three years ago were dead, while others were not now members of the public bodies. agreed that it would have been better had some .rough scheme been first submit Led.— The names proposed as delegates were then approved of. The Board of Education wrote notifying the r recognition of Cardigan County School as a Pupil Teacher Centre.—In reply to the Rev. D Evans, the Clerk stated the Llandyssul School had not been recognised in a similar way. The Committee made arrangements as to the courses and scholarships to be awarded for the current year in connection with technical instruction. It was ag'-ecd that the Clerk write to the various local authori- ties inviting applications for the services of the I-etlii-or- "Roberts hoped the Committee would make as liberal a 'n.=-rr'=v' » grant as possible for this instruction. He I asm d niia e.pec:aiiy uiis i, .(: Lill reason that tiioy weio now making applica- tion to the Government for increased aid towards University education out of Imperial iuncis. A great part of the case for such in- creased aid would necessarily rest upon the amount of local support now given to edu- cation by the various local authorities in Wales, especially if that was given out of limited funds, as was the case in this county ajid other counties similarly situated. A letter was read from th.e governors of the Aberystwyth County School stating it was their wish that the County. Scheme should be so amended as to enable them to use the whole of the balance ol £ 483 in their scholarship found toward tlfe liquidation of the debt 011 their building account.. ihe Llandyssul m.mag.us wrote stating Mwit tl<_> had adopt >d a scin-me wi.r»->v (he bursary fund was automatically increased each year, and that the balance 111 the scholarship fund was thus being exhausted.—The Committee decided to appiy to the Board of Education lor an aim 1 dnient of ilm Scheme so ti at the balance in the scholarship fund could be ap- plied to the liquidation of the building fund 111 the case of the Aberystwyth School. It was agreed to pay to the managers of the Science and Art Classes, Aberystwyth, the sum of £38 12s. Ütl., being the balance of contribution due for the period ending Aiarch 31st, 11)00, at the rate of £ 75 per an- num as from the appointed day; and to the University College, Aberystwyth, being the contribution due for the provision oi lectures and courses lor period ending Dec- ember 31st, 1U00. It was decided to pay the managers of the several Intermediate Schools the bal- ance of the amounts robe apportioned out of the Intermediate Education fund, the amounts being as follows:—Aberayron, Aberystwyth, -t3;3a: Cardigan, Llan- dyssul, ,{:136; Tregaron, £ 210. The Hev. n. J. l,Lees, M.A., was appoint- ed manager of Aberystwyth County School in place of Prof. Leyi. Airs. I. 2. Jones, Major Price Lewes,, and the Rev. Win.

OL- .„ t j AII131 li A N A Vessel in Distress. — On Monday after- noon, when the gale was raging furiously. xiie coastguards at Penrhyu Castle- observed a vessel in the bay flying the flag of dis- tress. Rockets were at once tired, and shortly after five o'clock tlw lifeboat was launched. The sea. roiled heavily, and it was with mucit difficulty that she was got alongside the vessel, winch was tossed about in by the wild waves which ran mountain high. The lifeboatmen kept by her side until midnight, bu^ as the storni ceased then the crew refused to leave their vessel, and kept at anchor near TYesaith. The sails and masts. suffered severely. The lifeboat returned to her station at St. Dogmaels after a very hard experience, the crew having been without food for twelve hours. Hie vessel is from 800 to 1,000 tons register, but her name has not yet been ascertained. She 6till' lies in the same dangerous position, and if the gale should again arise no doubt she will bo driven ashore. The lifegoat is being kept in readiness. She only arrived at Cardigan in August last, and this was her maiden attempt in saving life. Her crew are delighted with her, stating that she bc- haved splendidly, and was like a duck on the water. The crew, headed by her coxs- wain, Thomas Bowen, were most prompt in assembling, notwithstanding the distance many had to walk before reaching the life- boat station, and one and all are most en- thusiastic in their praise of their new boat. Honouring a An interesting function in connection with the Bethania Baptist Chapel, took place on Wednesday evening, when in the presence of a large congregation the pastor. Hey. John wil- liams, -was made the recipient of an illumina- ted address and a purse of gold, in recogni- tion of his. long ministry and the esteem in which he was held by the members. A re- port of the proceedings will appear in our next issue. ST DOCAIELLS TrRAL DISTRICT COUNCIL. The monthly meeting of this Council was held 011 Thursday, Air. D. J. Edwards pre- siding. Pentrelangwm Drainage. The Medical Officer presented to the Council plans and estimates of the scheme of drainage at Pentrelangwm, and also plnlls of the proposed scheme for improving the water suplv at Alltfaell: but he considered that certain alterations should be made thereto.—The Council decided to refer the plans and estimates to a committee consist- ing of the Council and the members of the Parish Council for their consideration and report, the. Sanitary Inspector to convene such a. meeting and attend same. It was further resolved that. such a committee con- sider the advisability of improving the drain recently constructed in front of Capt Nicholas' house at Ghintirion. Å Vital Statistics. The medical officer (Dr. Havard) in his annual report gave the following vital stat- istics:—Births registered in 1905, 161, viz..

Deaths registered, 150, viz., 85 as having occurred in No 1 Division; 65 in No 2 Division at* compared with 122 in 1904; the average (10 years) foi' the district being 154. The general death-rAte for the district in 190. was 20.4 per 1.000. viz., Xo. I division, 23.5 per 1,000; No 2 Division, 17.3 per 1,000; that for England and Wales for 1905 be:tiz 15.2 per 1,000. Pontyglazicr Bridge. The architect of this bridge reported that it had been completed to his satisfaction, and recommended that the contractors be paid tho balance due, it was resolved on the motion of the Rev. E. D. Evans, seconded by Mr. Jonah Evans that the contractors be paid 9s. 5d. being balance due, and that the. Architect be paid the sum of .02 12s. as his remuneration. DISTRICT EDUCATION COMMITTEE. The monthly meeting of this committee was held at the PolTce Station on Tuesday afternoon, when there were present, the Rev. John Williams (presiding) Colonel Howell, Air. O. Beynon Evans. T.

Pay Sheets. The quarterly pay .sheets were examined and passed. New Desks. The. Provided Group Managers recom- mended thai four desks be for the classroom of Cardigan School be procured. The cost would be £ 7 Gs. 3d.—On the motion of Mr. Stevens, seconded by Mr. T. Watkins, it was agreed to sanction same as also was all application for an apparatus. Blaenporth Cleaner.

Mr. Ivor Evans and The Schoolmaster. At a previous meeting of the County School Governors a discussion arose 'on the scheme suggested by the Cardiganshire Education Committee with regard to the training and instruction of pupil teachers. During the course of the discussion. Air. Ivor Evans was reported to have said that he objected altogether to a private corpora- tion like the N.U.T. conducting any exam- ination in the school, and adding that the influence of the N.U.T. on Education in the past had been lamentable.—Replying to this The Sehoohnaster" in a recent issue says: We haven't the remotest notion who Air. Ivor Evans may'be; but two things at least are evident.—first, that lie knows noth- ing whatever about the N.U.T.. and sec- ondly, that he knows still less-if this be possible—about its influence on education. To mouth such balderdash as that the in- fluence of the N.U.T. on education in the past had been lamentable is sufficient in- dication of this gentlenw,1"s ignorance of the whole history of educational reform during the past thirty years. Probably it will be a revelation to him to hear that practically every reform of the past three decades (in the primary schools, at all events) is directly due to the agency of the organisation held in such disrepute by the Cardigan wiseacres. Why don't they apply to the Union's Examinations Board for evi- dence of the public estimation set upon its work by leading Educational Authorities? —Referring to this criticism at a meeting of the Governors 011 Saturday afternoon, Air. Evans said: On this subject Air. Chairman the remarks made at the last meeting have caused a flutter in the dove-cotes big and little, of the N.U.T. The Editor of the organ has become hysterical over the mere presumption that such an epoch-making in- stitution and its far-reaching influence is not acknowledged by every one and abuses the managers and staff. The paragraphs are marked with such ingenuous modesty and delicacy that I feel uncerain to be amused or annoyed at it. I should not re- fer to the matter at all but the local press have transcribed the paragraph referred to verbatim" and that if allowed to pass without comment it might have some in- fluence on those interested in our school. The proprietors of the paper are familiar with the working, and I may say exceptional success of the school. They ha\ e always been treated with every fairness by the managers and I can only express regret that they should tend their columns to circulate an article reflecting so grossly on them and their staff. The Litt i-ii-) tit ed to me do not represent my sentiments. I wished to ex- press and the members present at the meet- ing agree that I did not use them. Our position, I think, was quite intelligib'e, that the press did not convey it, was not my fault. The managers and staff objected to the proposed examination on three grounds, which I think are cogent and sufficient: 1st, That t\¡. N.U.T. was a private adventure, and had no efficient existence, and hence it was not advisable to, appoint it as the exam- ining authority. Nothing was suggested as to the examinations alleged to be held by them not being all that could be desired; secondly, that the N.F.T. was a Union of the vcr^- class which the examination was to qualify for. This was not logical, as well to submit, applicants for a shop or other industry or profession to the staff or mem- bers for approval thirdly, that there were already school examiners and to introduce one by the N.U.T. which had no connection witi). it would multiply examinations, inter- fere with the syllabus, and disorganise the school. I am personally referred to as being an unknown man. What has that got to do with the validity of the objections. I am quite content to be unknown. I sought to advertise myself, nor have I a cheap and ready trumpet like this organ if I did. Mr. Evans went to say that the Union was not quite unknown to hie. He had been clerk to school boards for many years, and lie thought the teachers would give him the credit of dong all in his power for their welfare—The Schoolmaster claimed to exercise great influence at the educa- tional movement. He had had a great deal to do with schoolmasters, but in further- ance of these personal interests he did not think he had ever heard the N.U.T. re- ference to by them, and never as an incen- tive to greater efficiency with the perform- ance of their duties. -■ ■ — < ■■

W;hait0vor complaints the ratepayers may liave in consequence of the very heavy rates which have now to be paid, they cust admit that they have an ex- cellent asset against. the expenditure in tlie very marked and great improvements that have been generally effected throughout the town. The.side-walk is palpable evidence on this point, and the drainage of the town generally is nearly approaching, which may be safely called in a sanitary condition. Personal.—The many friends of the popu- lar and gallant Capt. Pryse of Noyacid, wili be pleased to learn that he is progressing most favourably from the effects of his re- cent accident. School Alanagers.—The Local managers for Adpar and Trewen Schools held their monthly meeting 011 Alonday last under the presidency of Dr. Powell; Miss Jones. daughter of Air. Evan Jones, Blaenant. was a{ pointed mistress of Adpar School at a commencing salary of £ 50 per annum. Her testimonials were excellent and her eight years' services in on school spoke commend- ably in he favour.—It was remarked that the demand for teachers of this description was far in excess of the supply. Miss Jones be- ing being the onjv applicant who applied for the widely advertised post.—The Chair- man and managers expressed their gratifica- tion at having secured such an excellent mistress.

TREGARON. ApxJointment.— The announcement on W ednesday of the appointment Of Mr. I John Rowlands, a native of this town, as private secretary to uie mgnt iion. i resi- dent of the Board of Trade, spread like wildfire through the town and district, and gave entire satisfaction to his numerous friends. It will, no doubt, prove a success- ful appointment as Air. Rowlands has held a similar post previously under Air. Jolm D'oyle, of Tregaron and Llanfihangel-Crou- ddyn, and gave entire satisfaction to his em- ployer. His friends wish, through the medium of your paper, to convey their heartiestj congratulations to Air. liowlanda on his appointment. Air.

Both men had broken the stones, but had refused to put them through the seive. They were however willing to cart them away, or throw the stones out through the window.—The magistrates sent them to prison for seven days.—On Saturday, Alice Watson was brought before Dr. Lloyd and charged by Sergt. Lewis with wandering abroad without any means. She was dis- charged on promising to leave the town.

The Chairman explained the object ot the meet- ing. and said that the farmers ot xiie as- tnct did not take a sufficient amount of i terest in these meetings, but they were al- ways in favour of shows. This year again, there was a strong desire among them tor a show, and he proposed inasmuch as they had a balance of 1:42 that a show be held. Mr. Jenkin Lloyd seconded, and expressed similar views made by Mr. Rowlands.— The pioposition was unanimously carried.— ihis was the only business transacted, ail other matters being deferred until a future date.

How Country People Read Ad vertisem en is. The Pall Mall Gazette,' in an article on Country Literature, some time back said:- For the most part, readers in town (London) and the suburbs only glance at the eliciting p,)rtions of papers, and then cast, them aside. Readers in the the villages read every line from the first column to the last, from the title to the printer's address. The local papers are ploughed steadily through, just as the horses plough the fields, and every furrow of type conscientiously fcllowed from end to end, advertisements and all. The brewer's, the grocer's, the draper's, the Ironmonger's advertise- ments (market-town tradesmen), which have been there month after month, are all read, and the slightest change immediately noted. If there were any advertisements of book.- suitable to their taste It would be read in exactly the same manner. So it would in a daily paper, whenever it got to them. But. in advertising for country people one fact must be steadily borne in mind—that they are slow to act that is, the advertisement to produce any result must he permanent. A few insertions are forgotten before those who have seen them have made up their minds to purchase. When an ad- vertisement is always there, by-and-by, the thought suggested acts en the w i "nd the stray coin is in- vested—it may be six months after the first inclina- tion The procraslinaiiori of country people is inexplicable to hurrying London men. But it is quite useless to advertise unless it is taken into ac- count.. If permanent, on advertisement in theloca press will reach ils i*ark.
