The CHAIRMAN stated that the meet- ing had beoen convened in order that the county_ at large might, be informed as to the character and scope ef the proposed Weiaii Nationcii Memorial to King ^Edward VII., amd alio to afford the inhabitants an op- portunity of co-operating iu the promotion of that hnppily-coneei ved and far rcaehiiig- scheme (near, hear). Wales had time and agiain p-roved herself to be entbhusMstieally ioyal, aawl ceTte.li>ly no fiortion of the iiiitini-o had, more cordially acknowledged arid moie tltoroughly appreciated the great and nobie quiaiitiee of our laie King (cheers). And now that he had gone, Welsh- men had yielded to none in their anxiety and cletermiiiation to perpooua&Q L.is revwed a«d honoured nam's. It had been proposed that 1911?cal tak 'I -e tJw, f<)rzij of a sustained campaign isgainiit corwunipcion and tuberculosis, an enemy whiah, 113 they all knew, worked such terrible havoc amongst the people of Wales (eJieers). And epeciaily was it sad to tihrnk that tILio Cdl di«ea e \'ioWS more pre- valent in Carnarvonshire- than in airy other part of Great Britain, with the exception, alas, of the county of Cardigan. It was felt that no scheme could be more in consonance with the w. and aspirations of our laio rever-ed monarch, for he never ceased tÜ show his practical sympathy with thoeo who s-affered from aecidcnt or disea^, wiiilo the hospiuils ever found in him a kindly, consist- cut, munificent patron (dieers). Hence it had been conceded, amd lie, wa.1. confident aJl would concur, thai 110 more nobde, no more appro- priate memorial, than the erection of a yier- riisineint barrier against iJ¡.e inroads of the ctuei and insidious foe of ton^iiirjition couid be eiilier looked for or desired (elieers). "It is a memorial," coniimted the chairman, '"which has already been acciainied with one accord thro-ughout. fllie I^mcifiality, and such is tiie spirit of the peofjio that I boiieve ite suc- oe-sful issue ii now -asiwed (hoar, hear). ItB aocompiisdiino-nt, --or, means nuucii labour, and. pacriuces not a few, but. theu, its not the object worth much labour and any sacrifice if orJy it can be attained? The scheme has the sympathy and ap.proval of the King and Queen themeesves, it appeals to higJi arid low, to rich and poor alike"' (cheers). liiarge s-ums had already been srubscribod by a comparatively few generous donors. The sub- scription list- aleuj-y amounted to £ 160.000 (cheers). But:, it had' been fedt that everyone should at least be allowed the privilege and aii'orded an Ofj^firtjunaty of lending a heliping w i thsc objeet in view committees were be-in,g farmed in all the counties of the Principality, for bringing home to the people t.ho natuie of the proposed memoriail to Kinig Edward, and soliciting their support, boih moral and material. It was estimated that it -would be nceesas<ry to raise £ 300,000 to adequately endow the move- ment-a, greatt effort, but one witiiin the com- pass of united Wales (cihoers). lie would a.p- j>eah at any rate, to the (jeopdc of Carnarvon- shire to riis-e to the occasion, arid join in the van in the crusado aguino; a sxurgd which had Eoourcxl the country' all too long (loud cheers). He was exceedingly anxious that C'arnarvon- thire should take a leading and honourable place in this great and well-ooaiceivcd national aclieme, a roheme whiah of all othei-s, was calcu- lated to enslwine the memory of King Edward VII. in the hearts of a large and grateful peo- ple ((cheers). A GREAT SUSTAINED EFFORT. The BISHOP OF BANGOR moved the first resolution us foll -)ws:That the county of Car- narvon heartily approves of the proposal that the Welsh national memorial to King Edward VII. should take the form of a. sustained effort to combat the ravages of consumption and tuber- culosis in \V a.!e; and Monmouthshire." His Lordship observed that the movement brought to them two thoughts- their grateful and affectionate rei-nembrarice of their late King, and their desire to do something in his memory that he himself would have liked (hear, hear). To the older perple iu that audience the late King was known for many years as the Prince of Wales —(cheers)—and looking back upon that time his late Majesty seemed to be training himself for the high and arduous position to which he was afterwards called and in which he came into personal contact with every class of liis subjects (cheers). It naturally followed that they who lived in the King's reign were anxious that his memory should have some permanet mark for the good of the nation; and in his opinion no better choice could have been made than that movement to fight one of the great national plagues of this country (cheers). When under- taking a work of the kind they should first of all ask themselves if it was feasible, and if they were satisfied that it could not succeed they had better try something that would. "Well," re- marked his Lordship, "I think the answer to that is that all our present experience and knowledge teach us that this movement, if it is strenuously carried on, must succeed (cheers). This last cen- tury has taught us a deal about medicine and great healing that we did not know before. Among other things we are on the high road to know that every disease, with the exception of cancer, can be fought with and overcome" (cheers). In days gone by they kaew of the terrible calamities wrought by smallpox, how it spoiled the lives of tens of thousands, but thanks to the discovery of a great man that disease had been so successfully encountered with that at present it hardly ever came into prominence. The disease had been nearly abolished bv vac- 'Tli.n there %v I stories eination. (?r(? the pailic.t*c of young tnd promising lives b4,* -irig cut off by consumption. To fight consumption successfullv Y'lu. they r(,al Lied that tjiere 't be a -reat -us tained effort throughout the county. He did not know whether all the various forms of the campaign would equally commend themselves to him personally—those who were undertaking the work would know best—but he had no doubt that the provision of model dispensaries and sanita- tion, which could be brought within reach of the poorer people, and did not require the same outlay as at present, must have a great and bene- ficent effect upon patients (cheers). As regards the propaganda branch of the work. there wai no doubt that ignorance was responsible for half the diseases from which we suffered (hear, hear). If people could be taught to live more healthily in their homes and elsewhere a great deal would have been done to lessen the effects of the scourge from which the country suffered, and he there- fore wished a most hearty God-speed to the movement (cheers). I I WELSH PATRIOTISM. The REV. EVAN JONES, in seconding the re- solution, said that while he thought a period of unrest in the country was not the most favour- able opportunity for securing unity, he rejoiced that whatever differences of opinion that might cx'.st, they were aiway.; abc to agree on great and important things (cheery. They had their differences ar.d s, but u, patriots they were oa one (loud cheers). Speaking on the occa- s.on of the Coronation of the late King, lie well remembered saying that his Majesty had entered upon a very difficult, position, succeeding, as he was a moth m- who had made for herself a mother's place in the hearts of the people. But he thought that Victoria reared a son who went even deeper than his nioih-n- into the affections of his sub- j, dci. Edward .he Peacemaker became in a sense a king of aii the world, and lie would say with til earnestness that such a man was an object v, orthy to be held up before the nation (cheers). He hoped that. loyalty would never die out of the hearts of the Welsh people (loud cheers). He was ako glad that, the proposed memorial was to take a lorm which was so much in consonance with the wishes of the late King. It was also 'fv?r- to th;, -a. I r .?t- ?-ik t!iat tti:? in,)Ye, crit Y, i I'kel,) t;,) liz?ve tiie ui-dlv:(-Ic?d stip-tiort of a unit.ed Wales (h-ar, hear). 'I h-, rev. gentleman added that the information given as to the position of Wales and more particularly Carnarvonshire in relation to consumption had been to him a positive reve- lut'on. It was not to their credit, but side by i) cic with til's grave fact was the discovery of a. movement calculated to eradicate the evil from their m'dsb (cheers). THE SQUIRE OF LLANDINAM. MR D DA VIES, M.P., who was cordially re- ceived, supported the resolution, and said W that o!i Lei 've '-iilf ?o.' tho to thank the conveners of that meeting. They all knew the interest the Chairman took in all good movements in the county, and in fact in the Principal.ty (hear, he.:r) V> hen the crusade against consumption was first started, Mr Greaves took the keenest interest in the movement, and consented to act on the Executive Committee. They would agree that it was a great thing that the country should unite in that way and attack the terrible disease ot consumption simultaneously in all parts oi-the country, in stead of spasmodi- cally. 'ihe movement had received extraordinary support already from practically every county in Wales. It seemed to have caught the popular im- agmation, and people were coming forward spontaneously to assist (hear, hear). The other alternative was to have a number of small local memorials in the shape oi monuments and stained glass windows. But, as had already been stated, a crusade against: consumption was a movement that would h,ve appealed to King Edward him- self. When a sum of £ 200,000 was presented to him to apply to a philanthropic object he chose the erection of a large sanatorium for the cure of consumption (hear, hear). Therefore, the movement that had been started in Wales would be a littuig memorial to the late King. It was a practical and useful memorial, and would, he thought, appeal to their sense of loyalty, and also of humanity (cheers). In view of the fact that consumption was unfortunately so very pre- valent in North Wales, he felt sure that the In- habitant.s of the northern half of the Principality would see that the object was one that they could strongly support. It had been said that we had been woefully behind in providing for the health of the people. We had spent enormous sums upon education, tut what had we done to pro- mote the health of the nation? We must liave sound bodies £ « well as trained minds in order to be SIAC(!C. ,ful (itetv, hc,-r). P-.eeerit,y ti-ere lia(i bf,eii ar ? alenirg in Wz?Ics.

A very large sum of money was required, and they would agree with him that if they were going to set about a task of the kiJJd it was no use to set about It in a stingy spirit (hear, hear). But whatever was done it should be permanently endowed, so that there would be no need to go ail over the country to collect subscriptions every year (hear, hear). A sum of £ 300,000 had been placcd as the minimum they were to try to roach. If they were going- to kill the Goliath consumption they must have a very big stone. The money would be spent with the object of getting the best prac- tical results. He did not think there was ativ ideas in he minds of the promoters that the money should be wasted on extravagant buildings or that it should be spent recklessly (cheers). Before ??plnding it they would get the be-,it (,,x- ,c p,-?rt aciv,'from people who bad spent tlitir lives in tackling that question, and they would alsa go by the experience which had been gained already from countries where a similar proposal had been put into operation. It was proposed that the money should be spent partly in educa- tional work, partly in dispensaries, assisting medi- cal officers in carrying out their work on sanatoria and providing places where patients could be removed so as to prevent infection being spread in the country. They had got to attack the enemy in a broad way if they were going to be successful (cheers). He appealed to all pre- sent to look at the question from a broad point of view, and not at the present moment to quibble over details. Referring to organisation the speaker hoped that it would be based upon the county ba.si!s. So far as the collecting of the funds for the memorial was concerned, it would bo done by each county and county borough on a separate basis, not with the object of spending the money on that basis, but for the purpose merely of comparison afterwards. It was also hoped that there would be a house-to-house can- vass in every parish and every town, and every county from one end of Wales to the other, so that they would be able to get not only large but small subscriptions (hear, hear). They wanted everybodv to feei' that he had got an ind'v*dual in the iiiatt(?r. In that wal ltlicy y would be able to raise the enthusiasm of the people, without which the movement could not be successful. It was a voluntary movement. Some people, however, had criticised it during the last few months, and it had been said that it was a matter that concerned the State. The State certainly was much concerned with the health of the people, but if they were going to take a great evil of that magnitude they must have every means at their disposal to stamp it out, whether it be the State or whether it be a voluntary effort. They had to educate public opinion—convince people by an educational cam- paign. He commended the movement as a volun- tary and spontaneous effort, without which there was very httic chance of ridding their country of the great scourge of consumption. It was a practical application of religion (cheers). He hoped that it could be said that Wales had per- petuated the memory of King- Edward by band- ing together to destroy the great scourge that had ever troubled the country, and making their country happier and better than it had ever been (cheers). AN EDUCATIONAL CAMPAIGN. PRINCIPAL ROBERTS (Aberystwyth) speak- ing in further support of the resolution, said that it spoke much of the depth with which the Royal memorial fund had appealed to the feeling and the judgment of the community when it was realised that even already a larger sum had been contributed-te it than to any single previous ap- peal addressed to AYales as a whole (cheers). The beneficial consequences to be anticipated from the success of the fund could hardly be over- estimated, whether as discipline, education, self- help, and an organised action on the part of all classes, or as concentrated attention, in the light of knowledge, on a question deeply affecting the life of the people of this country. Even if the present high percentage of suffering from tuber- culosis in Wales increased the difficulty of the task before them, 011 the other hand the limit of the area and of the population afforded valu- able conditions for the practical treatment of a great problem. There is hope," added Principal Roberts, that by means of the educational campaign we shall con- vert the fatalistic attitude with which this disoese has infected the imagination of Wales, Like other Celtic peoples, into an en- thusiastic combined movement for its allevia- tion and control (cheers). I am prepared to admit that it is idle to try to deal writh this question exoept on national lines. If we take it up on those lines there is a good prospect of OUT siicoaedin.g-sucoe.% is not only prob- able, but certain if we take the proper mea- sures (cheers). Consumption had, alas, cast its dark fchadows too long over our national life; but now that the lead had been given by Mr Da,vies—(cheers)—he had -no doubt that every class in the country,—doctors, teachers, ministers, and ■workingraieTi—would enter upon the campaign in e^raeefcnees^ and refuse to az"ow, political excitement or any other ia- iiuenoe to stand bet W them and success (Jo-iid ehjeors). QUARitYMEN AND CONSUMPTION. Dr. 11. TARRY EDWARDS, by way oa sup- porting the resolution .described the movement as one which was heartily welcomed by every mcdical offices' of heeltii ;uad every general pruetitioicer in the country. With t,h assist- ance of a. chart, Dr. Edwards presented some (striking facts relative to consumption in North Wales. It -a-ppeaxxd that in the peTo;ato..ge was h%JKir in North Wak-s than in 13&3i&B.d asd W ales as a whole. Caraar- vonehtre it-self was still worse, the death-rate };-ein.g ::000 in a miJilt-oa, but even Comarvoa- shire was not ali blaci, as there were parts in it which were much better then other parts in the Crated Kingdom (hear, hear). In that county, during the last ten y*>*&rs, 3500 persons died fronj consumption, which meant that should the same rate oi mortality piev.-iil in t,I.e a town (>f 31x),?ut t? r Of w?u.d iave owcft fi,c.,n the f--o, of the earth. Still more sad was the Met that it was people in the prime of life teKit the disease attacked. In 1S09. the deaths from consumption in Carnarvonshire numbered 277, being 137 males and 140 fe- males. Of the former, 60 per cent, "WIelC under 40 years of age, end of the women 75 cejit. t-h,??

In the presence of Mr David Daviee he eugige-sted whether it would not be possible to deyi-se some means of educating the in- fected children apart from others, and bring- ing them to be useful citizceis?' (cheers). the resolution was then put, and carried unaniimoui-ly. COMMITTEE APPOINTED. T HIGH-SHERIFF moved the formation of a County Committee to orsra-nise the cot .ec- tiea1 of subscriptions, and Wt-ak* other stcrs as they might deem necessary for the further- ance of the movement. SIR H. J. ELLIS-NAKNEY. in 00- cond-ing-, was convinced that the Ln- lorimataon which had1 been imparted at irrn w(,,Id ljo of vhe, a,dvaait-ag,t?. in ti.Io canl),aign .jr oiseawe wh.ch tney had sought to grapple with, they were awaro that it was a preveni-lble c.isease and in many eases curable, and tiiough they couid not all approach the subject with toe i of ti;,e a.na aLl ceuld 'I t-h-,r o%p. rLs rctbdcr ,2ow.,L? assistance.

T-;ie memorial was one to a King who did his best for the welfare of liis pcap-.e and sympathised with all sufferers among* tliern it was one in w-ljaah all Welshman eculii join, and it was a loo one which would bring heauth and prosr-c-r.t,v to thousands of tin-ir fellow -countrymen (cheers). Let them all sink their m;nor differences in order to produce a memorial worthy alike of their late King and of the people o.i Wales at their best (cli eons). Ibis ¡ü<JO].utioll was also carried. CONSTITUTION OF THE COMMITTEE. LORD PENRHYN, who was received with hearty cheers, moved: "That the County Committee cons.si of: II. M.

WINE MKBCHAFRS SUC- CESSFUL DEFENCE. Before his Honour Judge Mo&s, at the C'on- wa;v C,?.?unty Ck)urt, t<)-day v.-cel. Mr E. A. W.

The case involved a long seniee of accounts, and his Honour eventually gave judgment in favour of the plaintiff 011 the understanding that the Registrar found on a- subsequent in- vestigation of the accounts that anything was due to the plaintiff. It transpired, however, that out of the £ '25 odd ciaemcd, oaJy 2s fed was due from the defendant, the debt being contracted not by his client but by the Com- pany in which the defendant wae interested, and under the circumstances he submitted it would be unjust to declare that the plaintiff's case had succeeded. In answer to the Judge, the Registrar (Mr R. S. Chamberlain) confirmed the advo- cate's statement -with reference to the result of the investigation, and added that both -d.c ,si ,s wei-e, agrK-?,,d -ufcn tlia 'CC-3unts. The investigation proved in fact that a. sum of 6s should be debited to the defendant. His Honour said he gave judgment at the October Court under the impression—-an im- pression that appeared to prevail in every- body's mr.nd at that time—that the defendant owed the plaintiff an amount of money, but now that the Registrar had discovered there w<3l6 nothing due to plaintiff, he must of course give judgment for the defendant with costs. Mr Hallmark (Messrs Henderson and Hiall- p&a-rk, laaaduduo) was for the plaintiff.

the schools, but their unintelligent "wooden type of mind might eome from the I fact that so much time was g-ivea up in the homes preparing lessons for the next day. iShe ealculatcd that eliiklrvu from the age oi twelve were mad-e to work ct study for seven and ft half to eight hours a day, many of vkem on insufficient food. Homework should be reduced to under an hour. This system of cram she felt accounted for the had physique of many of the teachers who were coming into the intermediate schools. The Letter of reply was finally passed. Only two votes were u-iveu in opposition. DEPUTATION TO BOARD OF EDUCA- TION. lord Sheffield said that in view of th-e fact that the Board of Education report had been, as he understood, scut to the Governors of ail the schools, tibe reply should bo eimiAaa'ly cir- culated. Mr D. S. Divie,,3 (Denbigh) moved that that be done. He complained that the Board of Education had not treated the Central Board f?c.irl?v in S'el)-ri,ug tli-eir r-ello!'? out first it to ?L-ii?e AN'ee?h autlio-Itv 'wi lie'?i it Dr. Aaron Da vies seconded the motion, and at was carried. Mr J. E. Powell proposed that a deputation be appointed to seek all interview with 1.112- Minister of Education to urge upon him the desirability of securing to th-d Ostral Welsh Board the complete control of the inspection is addition to the examination of the inter- mediate schools in Wales. Practically this 'was whit t.hev had Lid fc.-r v,.azs. 1-ord th-t it v.,?oul.41 Jxardiy bo prudent to [vsk for that. A few Dreai-s ago it i'(-?iind tb,,?t tiic A?c"sli *w,er4a !>,2?iig treat-ed frc,? the Eiig- e,,Iz,h r?econda-: 'tl, i\,b?!

They could not now ask to be absolved from those conditions, but they could, at a con- venient time when the election was over, draw attention to a. provision in the Act of which gave power to the Board of Education to make use of the Central Board in carry- ing out its work in Wales. They were per- missive words, but th.e Board oi Education, ."while retaining its power, might very well trust the Centra.! Board to be the ordiaary tiiaimel of communication. W Mr J. E. Powell modified his amendment in accordance with Lord Sheffield's suggestion, a deputation being appointed to urge that course upon the Board of Education.
