HIGHER EDUCATION AT COLWYN BAY & ABERGELE THE FATE OF TWO SCHOOLS. WARM DISCUSSION AT COLWYN BAY YESTERDAY. I AGE LIMIT SANCTION AT THE HIGHER GRADE SCHOOL WITHDRAWN. The fate of both the Abergele County School and the Colwyn Bay Iligiier Elementary, or, as it is better known, the Higher Grade School, was the subject of a warm discussion at a special meeting of the Colwyn Bay and Abergele Dis- trict Education Authority at Colwyn Bay yester- day. That there was something unusual afoot was at once obvious from the very full attend- ance of members, at least one appearing for the first time, while another had left his sick bed tu attend. The Rev. John Edwards, Colwyn Bay (the chairman) presided, and there were also present from Lolwyn Bay Mrs Lumley, Miss Stockdale, Rev. Peter Jones, Rev. Wm. Hughes, Rev. Thos. Roberts, Messrs D. Gamble, D. O. Williams, Ed- ward Allen, and J. Berth Jones. Abergele was represented by the Rev. Francis Jones, Messrs Mill ward, Inglis, H. E. Pritc-hard, and Wii'iira Griffith (Llanfair T.H.). There were also in at- tendance Mr J. C. Davies, organiser of educa- tion for Denbighshire, and the Clerk (Mr F. J. Holmes). PUBLIC OR PRIVATE. At the outset the Chairman remarked that be- foro he asked the Clerk to read the very import- ant letter which was for their special considera- tion that afternoon, as there was a reporter in the room at the invitation, it appeared, of four or five of the members, it would be well to tie- cide whether the discussion should be carried en in committee. Rev. Thomas Roberts moved that the reporter be allowed to remain. There should be nothing in the discussion but what the public had a right to know. Mr Pritchard seconded. j Mr Wm. Griffith moved, and the Rev. Petar Jones seconded, a negative motion, but after a short, withal sharp, discussion the amendment was dropped. After reading a letter of apology for his ab- sence from the Rev. Thomas Lloyd, Colwyn Bay, the Clerk, at the request, of the Chairman, read the following letter from Mr J. C. Davies, Or- ganiser of Education for Denbighshire:— "Herewith please find copy of a letter received from the Board of Education with regard to the Colwyn Bay Higher Elementary School. The letter has been under the consideration of the Joint Committee, which is at present engaged in rovising the intermediate scheme of the county, but inasmuch as the school is, as at present con- stituted, an elementary school, the matter must be finally dealt with by the Staff Committee, at a meeting which will be held on the morning of the 29th inst. In view of the importance of the matter will you please endeavour to get a meet- ing of your managers to consider the letter, and to make any observations they wish with regard thereto in time for submission to the com- mittee ?" Mr Alfred T. Davies, writing from the Welsh Department of the Board of Education, stated that he was "directed to point out that as to the sanction of the Board of Education to the ex tension of tho age limit at the Colwyn Bay Higher Elementary School under Section 22 (2) of the Education Act, 1902, and the retention of scholars for a fourth year given on the 6th June, 1908, was expressly limited to the year end- ing 31st July, 1909. your committee had no justifi- cation for assuming that this sanction would be continued after that date. Tho Board have fait serious doubts whether they can properly pay any grants at the end of the current school year in respect of the attendance of any scholar who was over 15 on the 1st day of the school year, or for the fourth year's course, but after consider- able hesitation they have decided that their anc- tion under Section 22 (2) of the Education Act, 1902, may be regarded as extended until the 51st July, 1910, so as not to penalise your authority in respect of the work which has been actually done. It must, however, be distinctly understood that the sanction terminates on 31st July, 1910, I and that no scholar who is over 15 on the 1st August, 1910, may be retained on the books of the school for the school year then conunencing." Tho Chairman said they would all agree that the letter was a very important one, bearing very directly upon secondary education in Col- wyn Bay, and it spoko very well for the interest taken in education in the Colwyn Bay district to see such a gathering of members there to con- sider that matter. He hoped they would con- sider that afternoon tho efficiency of education in the district, and that they would conduct their deliberations in the right spirit, having the best interests of the many at heart. As the Organiser of Education would be able to tell them, fifteen years ago, when they were asked to deal with the Colwyn Bay Higher Elementary School, the Education Committee said, "We are sorry we can't help you. Do your best, and we will sup- port you. Ever since then they had been en- couraged to think that the matter had been set- tled for-good. However, the Organiser was pre- sent, and before they entered into any discus- sion perhaps Mr Davies would explain to them exactly how they stood at present. He (the Chairman) had no animosity against the Aber- gele School, but each time he had talked to # school examiners on the question, and he !.ad known throe of them now, they always ai:i, "You must have a central school here. Wo could arrange that Abergele should specialise in one work, and yon could specialise in another direction." He hoped some such arrangement would now be carried into effect. Mr Millward said that before the Organiser rose to speak he would like to know whether they could have two secondary schools in one school district. Perhaps Mr Davlcs would pro- duce the Board of Education's letter on that point. THE POSITION TO-DAY. "ARRANGEMENTS PRACTICALLY COM PLETE." The Organiser said his position that day was a rather difficult one. He attended upon the special instructions of the Chairman of the Higher Education Committee of the county, and had been told he could go a certain length in reference to the question, and no further. He must therefore act according to instructions, and if he did not reply to certain questions which might be put he hop^d they would not misin- terpret his action. For nearly three years the Joint Education Committee of the county, which was constituted not under the Act of 1902, but under that of 1889, had been engaged revising tho intermediate education scheme of the county, and the scheme was riow practically complete, a copy of it being at that moment in his hand, it being also hoped that the whole thing would be complete, and that a draft of the scheme would be in the hands of all the members of the County Council when they met on August 12th. In that scheme provision was made for constituting the Higher Elementary School of Colwyn Bay into an intermediate scnool under the Welsh Act of 1889, and it A as contemplated to allocate the grant to the Col- wyn B-iV district on the same basis as other dis- tricts (hear, hear). The arrangements were now practically complete, and the scheme had been prepared" after consultation with the officers of tho Board of Education and other experts, so that for the future it was contemplated to pro- vide for nine, not eight, intermediate schools in the county, the Higher Elementary School of Colwyn Bay being one of them. With regard to the question put by Mr Millward the Board of Education had decided that they could not have another intermediate school of exactly the same type as the eight now in existence, but the Board were very keen, and the Joint Education Committee had taken that fact into account. The Board realised that one of the greatest 'needs of Wale3 at present was differentiation in its secondary schoo4s, which run far too much on the same lines, and the committee contemplated, after consulting with the Board of Education's officers, arranging that two or three schools in the county shall do the higher work in several departments. By way of illustration they had in the Wrexham secondary school a school quite capable of doing the higher work-taking classics, mathematics, science and modern languages. After referring to th" successes achieved by Wrexham scholars, Mr Davies added that it was clear they could not have eight schools in the county attempting that work, because if they did there would be neglect of certain classes tn order to ensure the success of two or three of the highest pupils, or porhaps there would be one master devoting tho whole of his time to one or two pupils. The committee wanted to move cautiously, and they now saw an opportunity to bringing to play in the Cohvyn Bay and Abergele district the prin- I ciple of differentiation in the system. They hoped that the establishment of a new inter- mediate school at Colwyn Bay would result in the differentiation of the school in the imme- diate neighbourhood. If Mr Millward meuit that the two schools should be of the same type the answer to his question was in tho negative if of two types they could have two schools.. Mr Miiiward: If this higher elementary school at Colwyn Bay is abolished what would be the result of creating it a .secondary school in the direction of fees? Mr Davies: In that case the new school would charge the same amount in fees as the other schools in the county. There is no school in he county charging much more than E6 par annum. Of course, a certain amount of latitude is el- lowed the local governors, but the normal fec. li will bo from B5 to £ 6. The Chairman-: And O'early the governors cf the new sdhool WJI AD«J> £ the school to meet THE C hrcamr? tanoes. Mr ING^E (Abergele): If the new school is adidod to tho dt-Aritar- will it ADD to t;l,,o rs.f.o? I Mr DAVIESS: I don't SEO vea-y vo&LL that it cou.!d do SET, because the maxinmnn HIGHER education rate is Leyied in the ooaiaty ALREADY. We can- not levy more t!h«n 2d in the £ UNI-der Act of 1902.

Mr MSward said tfoare was pScnity of rooim. at the AbergcJe schocj. Thetre they provided for HIIGHETR education, and, wJrllO they did; not object t.o OoJ'wyn Bay having a scbJco. if tihey were to have one school in the district of the WTO-xbain type——. Mr D. 0. Wili'Loans (CoLwyrn Bu;y), That EFTIOUW be IN Colwvn Bay (iaug-hter). Mr MS'Iward warmly argioed TBAT it would be GRO^IY unjuist to mate any SUCH provision. Tiie OOI",WII. Bay eehooJ should be the FEEDER OF THE ABERGELE SCHOOL, not vice versa, for the speciiai needs of both jocedities would be thereby met, BECAUSE Tt was obvious that tlbere wotukl be moire chaldron from Colwyn Bay d-esairomg the iaiigihor tiiiii would be the ca,e at Abergele. There was NO need for a new school of tihe typo mentioned! when they already had one at Abergele. Col- wyn Bay had RAR^V.EVED its opportunity to pro- vide iitealtf -with THE regtriar interano-"FETE school, and after had stepped in to fill the breach it would be ABAOFCTEILY unfairr to punish that drj-ftnofc in view OF A31 (GHAT BAD been spent upon the school. Mir LOGINS (ABORGEILE) agreed, amd soid that as chairman of the governors of the Abergele school he mmt INIASFC that if a cihan^e was to 00 marle it SHOULD; not affect the Abergele school, wihicli was to-day the recognased seocsidkury sahoci of TIPS district. Mr Wm. GrifEeih (Abergele) neaminded his Col WIN Bay oolleagrues that when that "great APOSTLE, of Mr Geo, aaxl the seoortd apoetle, Mr POWJT, of Wrexiiam." tricxt to -pen-sua.de the people of Ccelwyn Bay to take LIE school now hout ed at Abergele they refuijcd to have anything- to do with tt. He waa afraid the Qoiwyn Bay PEEPDE were now, liowever, jeasious of the AbergeJe eehool, and that two or iliroo of tbe meanbews of that coiru mdttee were agsrtaitiiyj for the removal of that school to GOSJWYN Ba;y.. He laid, not think it was right that Clolwyn Bay tihenthi not try to get liD to a certain position, on tbo shoulders of Abergele. Mr Edward Allen (Colwyn Bay) reaninded the speaker^ that n-eitler of them ihad spoken to the question before the meeting, wthie-H. was the Board of Education's letter with regard to lim- iting the time for certain SAHOUURB attending- the Colwyn Bay school (head-, hea-i). Ho would! like to know how lorsg it WENAID be before THE NEW scheme came into operation. The Organiser: With fairly ,g-ood kick it should be ths-orugh in 12 or 18 months AT the ou-tiside. Mar Pr3 tohard (Abengete) then moved that the letter intiimting the lsmstfemg- of the school! aig-O at the Oolwyn Bay aohoai to 15 YEARS on TOE 31st inst. be approved. The CHAIRMAN, REPLYING to a QUESTION, said THO re were 50 or 60 children at the Cohvyn Bay sohoclat present who wouid be acxmpelled to leave the school .il the BoarvJ, of Education's in- tentions W¡;h carried in 10 effect. Were THE committee prepared to THROW out chiid^nen ftrom tLo school? MT Edward Allen (Cohvyn Bay) tiren moved the foiiowmg resolution: "In view off t!he im- portant letter received froan the Board1 of Edu- cation limiting the AGO of alnYdsen attending the Colwyn Bay Higher Grade Sdfosxi to 15 years, the effect of which would be to exoitude from 50 to 60 of those OHIAA*N who ARE being taught, IN tho sdhool at PRESENT, thius giving A setrious ciicok to secondary edtuoation in the dis- trict, we earn-e»;FC £ Y appeai to the County Edtuca- tiotn Committee to seek another twelve months' extension, and ill the MEANTIME to oompiete tiie sdheme for Laving t-be same acknowledged AS an intermediate SCHOOL." Mr D. O. Witliiaans (Old OoJwvn) seconded. Mr PritohoTd. made a spirited SPEECH in de- fence of the Abergele school, and remarked that the GOVERNORS haod gone into a great expense in very recent years to provide in reality for the noeds of COITWYN Bay. He contended that if Cbiwvn Bay had acted 'honestly tawardi the Abergele school they wotuld have LONG SINCE tern to that SC1KX>1 all the children over 15 years of aige who had been ATTENDING the Oolwyn Bav sohool. He blamed the County F.drjcation Au- thority for sanctionirrag tiie EXPENDITURE of be- tween £ 2000 and £ 50(X) winnh had been reeentiy incturred on THE Abergefc school, bceauae they NRUIT have known something then of their in- tention to push forward the Co». WYN Bey GEH<x>L. a fcwt which,, had tillJe Abergele governors kruj-vvn of it. would have ppeveisfced THORN invoicing themipelves in that expense. A OOLWYN BAY MEMBER IN OPPOSI- TION. Rev. Peter Jones (Coiwyn Bay) said he could not qai.ite foikrw what had been said1 m reigard to the extra cost in ooameotion with the new FIvell if the rate were not increased there jauistaffe-q" iai THE amounts oi grant paid. Two initejreniedkite sohools tmust aomeshow or other cost more than ore. He ob- jected to the proposed change, beoause the poor poopiie who now sent their ohildrcoi to tiie Col- wyn Bay sohool wcidd not be abie to pay the difference BETWEEN £1 arwl £ 6 in the fees. He oouid not COIII»KINUOUAIY vote for Mr Alkn';> motion beoause justice was on the sriJde oí the EABE preeer.ted by the Abergeie MEMBERS. Mr Allen replied that if his motion were not carried, there would be between 50 amd 60 ahik dren now att the Colwvni Bay schcU: ordicred out of the lju.fldi.ng at the END of the montli. Mr Hoskimss, who was told there wore now 92 children at the Abergete school whidh afforded; accx^mimodation far 200, said! he oouid not see therv had room for two socondlary sohoois in thc, He therefore moved "that in the opinion of thi- ed'ueation aiuthotrity we nc-od but one efficient eecondtviry aohool to srupply the re- quirements of the Oolwyn Bay and Abm,-olo school distract, and further that it is dfeanrahle thai; tilie Higher Elementary Sohooi SLIOIEKL be maTI-o into a higher standard sohooL" Mr Wm. Griffith seconded. Mr Edward AIIEN Id W.H a motion was. quite out of order,, because it did not bear upon the subject matter of the letter before the meeting. The Chairman AGREED, and added that he hoptd PE<a.LIH<ed tiie very BERIO«SIIES!S of the matter, a.nd he was sorry that his friesnds were not look- ing at things from the broadevt aepcot. The argument? used in favoua- of Abergele a-ppl:<XL with eqowal if not more force to Golwyn Bay. Experts bad been studying the QUESTION for years, and the committee could not utter a few moments or two èIa¡ys' consideration colvo tbedjifficuk problem in that fashion.

Mr Millward said they would be PRECIR^V in the stiiiw position twelve months beinoo, and therefore they wonn'.D settie the questiom de-fiinitie- ly that day. Mr D. Gamble (Colwyn Bay) spoke in FAVOWR of Mr Allen's motion, and after some further disousicai it weo decided by nine votoi to SIX to adopt M;r Allten'S reso^utioei. Tiiose AG-FIINEFC it were: Rev.

THE CONWA. Y CORPORATION AND THE PAIUSH CHURCH SERVICE. (To the Editor of the "Pioneer.") Sir,—Allow mo to express my strong disap- proved of the intention of the Ocaiway Oarpora- bon LEI attend' the Parish Church next Sour-da-i- morning in state. I understand that this is done at the invitation of the. Vicar. It i.3 diffi- cult to know wiiy they ARE. invited. The alterna- tive that suggests itself is either that the Bishop of Jarrow lias a special message to deliver -ffcena,, or tha.), UITIR presence will ADD 00 tiie impre.sKive- ness of the service. This is extremely Unfa-ir to the Nonconformist, members of U10 Ccnnxal. Thoir duty IS to presesit at their OWN places of v\orjuiip, "not forsaking tho assorl1 bli.n.g of ourst-lves TOGT-'UNER." 'L'iiey cannot vei-y WOJ AT- TEND both scrviocs, for no SENDEE in the town concludes before 11.15 .a.m., and some axe maich later than that. May I point out that a.t the same hour AN anniversary service vrill be held in St. JolunJS Church, where a "special PREACHER" is announced to prcach. The minis- TET at the Wetdeyan Gh«roh HAF> ectadtlv {HE SAME claim, IF there be any claim, upon the attendance of tiie Corporation, as the Bishop of Jarrow at the ESTABLISSIEII CHURCH- In October a Baptist mini.ITI"r of NATIONAL repute will conduct a mis- sion on bethaif of the Free Gbuaxih Coamcil. The Mayor and Corporation wild ndt bo invited to inaugurate THE. iiiisicii by attending in atate; and if they were, how unmecesBafy and awkward it would appear to us all. After all, is not thie so-ca, ded- attending in state but a mere display, ministering to a woirldily vanity and pomp ? The DANGER of U:'CE'3' processions is to ixxiricxj religion to a mere spectacular dispiay. For FHO Corpora- fcion which is a, composite bocfiy to present them- selves in state in one particular church, whea services EQUALLY as irnportamt axe held M every other dhiirch in 1<)I\vn, is a practice which ewiry fair-minded Christion will at omce condemn. It IS not only unfair to the members of the Corpora- tion, but humiliating' to the REI^IOUS service. When a, request simflar to this is presemtod to THE Council AGAIN, it is to be sincerely hoped that it IV%Il BA refused wfthout :,esiiation.—I am, etc.. FREE CHURCHMAN.

COLWYN BAY AND DISTRICT COTTAGE HOSPITAL. (To the Editor of the "Pioneer"). Sir, I have to ask your kind permission to bring TRADER the notice of your readers the Hospital Saturday collections to be made on the 30th instant. The Cottage Hospital, which visitors will find AN lieske'JI-ioaxi, about halfway between the Bay and Colwyn, now niinisters to the nooets of a population of some 16,000 souls, and THE street collections to be made on Saturday next constitute aji important part of our revenue. The hospital, which oontains ten beds and two cots, will shortly be pro- vided with a. thoroughly modern operating- room, where the most serious operations can be camed out with ervery guaxantee of safety and success that modem appliances caji en- sure. I here will be stands at the corners of Con- way-road and B rojfipton-aven UC, Con way-road and Penrhyn-road, Abergele-road and Sea. View-road, Aberg-eif-roa-d and Lawson-road, in Station-road, on the Promenade, and at Rhos- on-Sea and Old Colwyn. The Board gratefully acknowledges a very generous response to the recent "Pound Day" appeal, and they equally trust that the public will be equally kind on "Hospital Satur- day." Sister Eleanor will as always be pleased to show over the hospital any who have an in- terest in this work, but building opertafr.ns at present- somewhat mar the lisual appearance of the place, and diminish the number of patients.—I am, etc., FRAS.

WELSH DIVISION TERRITORIALS. 15,000 MEN MUSTER AT ABERYSTWYTH. The whole of the Territorials comprising the Welsh Division, numbering- over 15,000 men, have concentrated for their annual trailiang at Bow-street and LovesgTove, near to Aberystwyth. Over forty trains were em- ployed in bringing them together—infantry, artillery, <*ng-iiieers, ambulance corps, and the other uaiits which go to make up a divi- sion. General Lloyd is in command. A combined Church of England and Non- oonformist service was held in the camp on Sunday morning, at which General Lloyd was present. The Rev. Roberts took the first part of the service, and the Rev. T. C. Wil- liams, of Menai Bridge (CM.), preached a sermon. An accident of a serious nature happened to a young man named Price, of the Brcoow. He waa mding on a pil-e of luggage drawn by a. traction engine to camp when he fell off, and the wheels passed over him. His collar- bone was broken, his leg badly injured, and it is feared he has sustained internal injuries of a serious character. A gate of wind, swept the oacnps on Moadav night, but no da-mag-e was done. ON Tuesday the men were cant early on the halls for battalion work, amd too artallery bat- teries did somo long marches up the Rheidol V alley. On Wednesday a taotioal scheme was opened on the south of taie river Rheidol, when the South Wales Brigade, inoludireg the artilea-y, formed the attacking force and the Fusilier battalion provided the defence. Mr Lloyd George and Mr Haidano are ex- pected to visit the oasnp iai the course of THE next few days.

Mr Lloyd Georgia, at the neoeption after the woddling, proposod of the couple, say- isng- TIIE bridegroom had ceased to be a Honte Ruler by joining the Unionist party. The um,yri. however, was that of hearts and affection, and he wished the pair long Life and happiness in that state. He caueed much amusement by a reference to incidents in 1ihe early lives of his brother and himæl f, and i;bøn &aid! he owed more TO HIS old undo and his brother DHAN to any others, for they freed him from too drudgery of business with much self-sacrifice and! devotion to enable him to follow his public life. If Providence had blessed his work, he owed) the opjjoitunity to hia uxicle and brother. Mr Lloyd George, later in the afternoon, left for Londoll with the married couple, who proceeded! to the Continent for the honeymoon.
