RHYL SCHOOL ATTEND- ANCE COMMITTEE. TEACHERS' ABSENCE FROM SCHOOL. Mr S. Perks, J.P., presided over a ftill att,(,ji-dance of this coirjmiUee on Tuesday, and briefly thanked f-ic KieriLbors for his re-election as (iiairniati. TIre Oirettor of Educatton reporled a shght decreise im the tt-tondauce as <xmipaix-d with the previous n-to-tith, aiithougth the average had improved by 37, coan- purcd with a year ago. Mr Garniim inquired whether the Director of Educa- tjoii exemised any supervision an to the way in whio'i the tesuvhing staffs performed t-heir duties. He ore- sumed that every one of the teachers had certain lioli- diiys during the yea.r, and he wished to know whether they could absent themselves from: their school duties frequently without any intimation to the Bircotor ot Education ur to the Education Committee or the Sch.wl Attenda.n<ie Committee. The Cliuinnan said he did not think they could do that sort of thing frequently. He supposed the sell )r>] managers and t,he toactors could settle matters hke that OOtwn hemselves. Mr Gantlir, mid he wanted to know whether a head- mastsr o.r headauistress oauld absent hLmælf or heirjelf from the school in which they were .supposed to i»e looking aiter the education of the children without receiving a ddspenea-tion or excuse fiom the Kducation Comnii'ttee or the managers of the school. The Director of Education OerUurily not without file (ws::nt of the manageis. Mr (Jji.tiI :i To come nearer home, do you know < t at the of the Boys' School in Olwyxl-street is frequent,iy attending meetings in connection wit.h the Eliyl Council? At this very moment he is uitending a meeting in another room in this building with >ut any (>;i:ifJ2.nt ell] the part of ;he Education Curon..i.' :c-e as far as I am aware. I t-fr.n'i we o;:glit to raæ a lMSsolntion cullisng irmii these teachers to perform their duties more attentively. The Chairman I think this matter, if it ig to r.e discussed at aj], should be brought before the Educa- tian Committee. I don't think it coanes within < itr province. Mr Gamlin We are a sub-committee for kxxking after local masters, and this is a matter whic-h I think we should took into. The Chairman We might perhaps make some recom- mendation to the Education Committee. The Director of Education stiid he believed the mat- teoo had been before the school mamugeais, but he did not know what resolution they had passed thereon. Air Gamlin sa-id tluat, pe; haps Mr Storey, as the chairman of the managers of the school in question, oouJd enlighten theini on the subject. He (Mil Gocnlin) wtts not a manager of that particular school, but as chairman of t-he managers of another school in the tow n, and if the headimsi<ress of that school were to absent lierself once or twice a week and leave I v- control of the children to subordinates he wou'd t JW. be on her track and want to know the reason wh i Mr Storey said that if they were not permitted u dis cission there it was unless fot him to anew, r the question raised by Mr Gamlin. Mr Ellis said that wat the on!ya'tho:)ytt pointed to deal with local matters, and ) e failed ro Hoe why they shouJd not deal with Mr Gan m's point The C-hajiman You are dealing w'th on" peison here, whereas there may be 'irad"na"M.ers :<;):) ni^trefses aJi over the county whom t! r :nt Ji.^eeis, Mr EKis: This is the 4-nl)<Ks oi tho wliule diso'ctj. The Chairman at length a io vcj the le I-e discussed, whereupon Mr Storey said it was am understood thing when the teaches* in question became a member of the Rhoy] Council he was not to .),W Irs t ip nf II pi; authority to interfere ia ?' y w,y with !1; d'i'.i<-s in ooninee^ion with the school. M.r Ganilin said it ner.it that when Mr rhill't-s was not attending to his -l-i'ioe at lie .] It \Ias -lna'-r the supervision of some su^riinnfj. his ilere to look after the hobrs till f, ur o'^locSt csi-li after- noon, yet at three o'o^jek that afienic n l e wjis fT g-aged in 80Jlle other war. 'u :lrs ("li tnero w,i», to his mind, no diffor'tioe bet^en al.t"n:1j"lf a I'c-.icil meeting and going jp II ( Yne of t'iwyd lor in loft, r- noon's fishing. The Secretary of ,e Elu vion (:"mit.tofe # n i -1 the only cas? of the kind that rnwl come before the Educa- tion Committee was that of the present Mayor of Flint. That gentle-man made application for permission to be absent from school on certain days, and the com- jTNttee gave permission on the undertaking of the gentleman that the school work should not suffer. Mr Storey said that the managers in the present case objected tc the headmaster going on the Council be- cause they were afraid that it wou!d interfere with the duties he owed to the school They raised certain points, which he did not entertain. It was quite un- derstood, however, that he would so arrange matters that theer would be no neglect of school work on his part. Mr Ellis asked whether it was tlie duty of any offi- cial of the Education Co.nmitt.ee to mafiie himself cognisant of the absence of teachers from school. This aibsenee without leave had been going on for some time. The Director of Education kJ there was no recorded absence in the return which he had received for the past month. Mr Ellis Can this sort of thing go on with imp-unity ? Is there to be no check to i,t ? The Chairman said that when Mr Tilby was head- master of the school in question lie had permission to leave scliool to attend to -the work which Mr Piiiilipe was now doing. Mr Storey pointed out that in the days at Mr Tilby's headmasters-hip the schol was not under the authority of the Flintshire County Council or Education Com- mittee, but under the authority of a local body of managers. Mr Tilby provided exitaa help for the times when he was away. Then it was entirely a question fAr the managers. But now, as they had toM Mr Phillips, the managers were simply adminiltrators on behalf of the Education Committee, and the money spent was other people's and not their own. Mr Batters said that Mr Phillips was not the curly schoolmaster who was guilty of these practices. Mr Gaanldn We ought to put a stop to all of them. A question being raised respecting -the echool log book, Hie Director of Education said that 04] teachers were supposed to give dates of and reasons for any absences in the book. Mr E-aitters said it was not an isolated case that was under consideration, and every effort should be made to see that every log book was accurately kept. The Director of Education said that if any instance of neglcct came to his knowledge he certainly would not ignore it. Mr Storey said he had heard of these delinquencies before, but had never had a concrete case before him t-ttl that day. Mr Gamlin proposed that all headmasters and mis- tresses throughout the district be informed that t-hoy must strictly comply with the requirements they were expected to fulfil, and not be absent froon school at all without sufficient reason, nor without recording the fact; further, that the only sufficient reason in the opinion of the committee be illness. Mr Batters raid he would second the motion with pleasure. Mr G<amlin, in answer to an observation by Mr Mor- gan, said the kind of thing to which he had callcd attention had been going on for over twelve months. The motion having been carried, Mr Storey said they ouO'ht to give Mr Phillips an opportunity of making aa co explanation on the matter, and be suggested that 00 be written to to that effect. This course was acrr-oed tD. THE ATTRACTIONS OF GOLF. Several parents were summoned before the commit- tee to account for the irregular attendance of their children at school, and a variety of excuses was forthcoming. In some case it was said the children had no boots, and in ofJieir the parents confessed that tbpo children were at tames unmanageable. One

NEW WELSH WESLEYAN CHAPEL AT RHUDDLAN. LAYING OF MEMORIAL STONES. To-day week there was an interesting gather- ing on the site of the new chapel whieb is being erected in Gwmdy-etreet, Rhuddla.n, when mem- orial stones of a new chapel, which it is estimated will cost about £ 800, were laid. At the open- ing of proceedings the Rev. T. C. Jones (Tryfan), Rhyl, the circuit minister, said that in addi- tion to the local building fund they had received a grant of JB110 from the Connexlonal Chapel Funds, together with a loan of C160 free of in- terest. Nevertheless, it would be a hard struggle for the members of the chapel to maintain the cause for some time to come. They bad met together to give and receive subscriptions and donations towards the building fund. After the singing of a hymn the Rev. Most-yn Jones engaged in prayer. The Rev. Thomas Hughee, of Bangor (a native of Rhuddlan), gave tome interesting reminiscences of his connection with the old ohapel, and re- ferred in touching terms to the late Mr Evan Jones, who had been a faithful member for up- wards of 50 years.
