A Khaki Presidential Address.…
A Khaki Presidential Address. I MERTHYR TEACHERS' ASSOCIATION (N.U.T.) The annual meeting of the Merthyr Teachers'' Association (N.U.T.) was held on Saturday, the 22nd instant, at Abermorlais Boys' School, under the presidency of Miss Al. A. WillíaJns) Brecon Road Infants' School. There was a good attendance of members. At the outset of the proceedings, a vote of condolence was passed with the families of the tte Mr. Comer Jones, H.M.LB., and Mies Ruth Jones, and also wi-?h Miss Fry, of Pant- glas Infants' School, on the death of her fa- ther. The vote was earned in silence. After tjie millute-s of previous meetings were read and adopted, the Secretary read the cor- respondence, amongst which was an acknow- ledgment from Mr. W. Edwards, late H.M.I.S, to the resolution of appreciation passed at a previous meeting. The reports of officers for the year 1915 were read. The Treasurer (Miss Simons), 1ll her report, showed a balance in hand of £17 8s ld. The Benevolent and Orphan .Fund Secretary (Mr. E. Williams) reported the total amount collected to this noble branch of the Union's work was £ 68 4s. 5c! compared with £ 60 in 1914. There were 166 subscribers of 5/- and over, compared with 139 in 1914. The Secretary of the T.P.S. (Mr D. James), in his report, showed satisfactory progress. The President, in her report, stated that as Treasurer of the War Relief Fund, that the teachers of the borough had contributed £ 503 8s. 4d. during the last 12 months in monthly payments, not weakening the various other efforts made by the teachers. Secretary's Report. The Secretary of the Association (Mr. J as. Price) presented the following I-eport- Ladies and Gentlemen,—In presenting the annual report for 1915, I have much pleasure in reporting a membership which exceeds the record of last year by 33. We have now 317 members, compared with 284 in 1914. of whom 20 are headmasters, 38 headmistresses, 117 class masters, 136 class mistresses, 1 man- ual instructor, 1 art master, and 3 retaining membership after leaving profession. I am par- ticularly glad to find that all the newly certi- ficated teachers have become members except 3 males. Fifty-two new members have joined during the year 1915, which I am sure is very gratifying. The losses to the membership are 19. There are yet far too many non-members In our district, who are a menace to the w hole bock,- of teachers. I am sorry to report that the special effort to rope in the secondary school teachers of the borough was not success- ful, although Miss Phipps, one of the members of the National Executive and a secondary school teacher, spoke most convincingly at a special" meeting of this class of teachers of the benefits accruing from membership of the N.U.T. It is with deep regret that I have to report the death of four of our members during the past vear. viz.:—Miss Vera Evans, Miss Price," Miss Ruth Jones, and Mr. Bevan. They were all loyal members of the Association. Since the last annual meeting there have been held 3 ordinary general meetings, o special ge- neral meetings, 10 executive meetings, beside sub-committees. The Executive have kept a vi- gilant eye on all matters appertaining to the welfare of its members. In June, 1915. a deputation v\ as received oy the Education Committee representing all grades of teachers, ynder the auspices of the Association, to ask for an increase of salary. Although no member of the local education au- thority could dispute the justice of the position taken up by the teachers, yet we were not successful, but I am glad that a section of the teachers who were poorly paid did reooivo an increase, and not as it was thought by some of the members of the committe- bonus. The Executive have been alert to that bogey which is meeting us as teachers, viz., economy in education, and I am delighted to report to you the- progressive spirit of the local educa- tion authority in general, thanks to the splen- did lead given by the Director. The staffing question has been a thorn in the minds of some members of the local education authority, but we are proud to think that the staffing in the Merthyr Borough has not taken the reactionary step, and that over 30 members are at present serving in the Forces, and nearly all member of eligible age are attested under the Group System. Therefore, in the future, there will be a large depletion of paying members in the Association. Thus it behoves us to see that those teachers who are on supply and are quali- fied to become members of the N.U.T., should be asked to join as a matter of elementary justice. In conelusion, I would bespeak from every member a greater interest in the work of the N.U.T., so that we can hold what we have won, because I believe that there are dark days ahead in the educational world: but by unity and a true professional spirit we shall we able to achieve greater things in the future. A hearty vote of thanks was accorded to the past officers, on the proposition of Pte. G, J. Roberts, R.A.M.C., the incoming president for 1916, and seconded by Mr. M. J. Pughe. President's Address. Pte. G. > J, Roberts, RAMC. who was given an enthusiastic welcome, and who appeared in khaki, delivered his address as follows-- (1 The kind reception you have accorded me this afternoon has so moved me that it would be impossible for me to address you for any length of time, even if I had prepared a long address. It is, therefore, lucky for me that I can honestly plead that our time in the Army is so fully occupied from ihe, -reveille to the J: btoo' bugle that I have been unable to keep in touch with educational matters, so that I come before you to-day without any professional address. I have simply greeting and a mess- age to you from my Comrades in Arms.' I must be careful what I say, for fear I might say something which is forbidden by Army Orders. I would be greatly tempted to speak about what I have learnt and unlearnt" with the Colours; my views of discipline and au- thority and. the new outlook upon life .as seen, as it were, from behind barrack walls; and,, also what I nave observed as to the effect of different educational training ..on my 'ill, itow- soldiers from various parts of the country. All those things will have to wait for a more op- portune tjme. All I can tell you now is that I am very proud of the uniform I wear: that 1 have never regretted offering my services to my King and beloved country, and that I have learnt already a great deal which will be of inestimable value to me as a citizen and teacher. I will now deliver to you my simple greeting and message. I am exceedingly proud of being President of my Association— a living associa- tion-keen in its sense of professional and pub- lic duties; an association that has always some- thing to be enthusiastic about-whether con- cerning its own affairs or a public duty, and. a;i. G. Meredith said, "Enthusiasm has the privi- lege of not knowing monotony.' On behalf of my fellow teacher Tommies,' and for the kind letter which we have all received from Miss Williams and Mr. Price in your name, I come home to-day to greet and thank you for what you have done for us, while we have been away. We feel quite confident that our inter- ests wMl be jealously and faithfully guarded by you until we return again. That confidence helped us to offer our services when we felt that Duty called us. In this connection I would also like to express our deep apprecia- tion of what the Education Committee is doing tor us as regards o-ur salaries and keeping our places open for us, The loyalty of our Associa- tion and that of our Education Committee helps us to be better soldiers, arid also helps to alleviate the feelings of loneliness. I mention this with the deepest sincerity, and I am sure the other lads fsel as I do. To belong to a National Union of 80,000 men and women who have already raised £ 100,000 for war chari- ties (£ÔDO of "vhich has been raised by the Merthyr Association afloaie), is something te be proud of, and it serves as a keynote to my message to you to 1 Cultivate this national and local unity,' and we shall be the strongest bocly in the land. I ask you to foster it firstly for the sake of the hundreds of your fellow work- ers who have gone forth, and those who will again follow them to their country's battle- fields One of the first things I read in a public lihrar after joining the Army was the introduc- tion of Ian Hay to his book on 'School Life.' He dedicates this book to the members of the most responsible, titt, least advertised, the! worse paid, and the most richly rewarded pro- fession in the world.' I felt it a privilege to j think that somebody could look upon us and say these words about us. Let us feel that j we are united in our responsibilities, and scorn the advertisement, that there is a. noble reward for every teacher, however meanly paid and Ian Hay will not be the only writer to dedicate his books to us. I feel to-day overflowing with enthusiasm for our profession, because I see that when the clouds of war have rolled away the future is ours. Mr. S. B. Mais writes al- read in tl-ie Nineteenth Century to this effect —' Whether Einglt,nd lives to-morrow in the real sense of the word" depends on the rulers j of to-morrow, and the rulers of to-morrow depend upon the schoolmasters and schoolmis- tresses of to-day.' Those who shall train the rulers of to-morrow must be united in heart and hand. There are dark days ahead of us before-, peace comes. You will have to keep the home fires burning' in mOIre senses than one. I know of no surer way of keeping the national heart and soul from %'ooping than by keeping up the enthusiasm of the children of the people in our schools. Again, the return of peace will not end the bitter days for us. It will mean the renewal of many old struggles. If we are to face them victoriously, we must be animat- ed by the spirit shown by our Union during the war, by an unfailing loyalty to our princi- ples, and by a firm resolution to maintain our unity unimpaired. You have already witnessed some changes at home. You have lost the services of two real friends in the retirement of Mr. Edwards, Chief Inspector, and the death of his colleague, Mr. Gomer Jones—men for whom we had not only great respect, but a deep affection, be- cause they always treated us as fellow-workers in a great task, and when everything was not just as they would like, they always gave us credit for doing our best. Every teacher in South Wales wishes well to Mr. Edwards, and feel the deepest sympathy with Mrs. Gomer Jones and the family, and we trust that or old friend and adviser, Mr. John Evans, will have men of the same type to share in his important work. All these changes I hope will find you united. Struggles for adequate pay, smaller classes, and against overloaded curriculum are before us. The faddists will come to the fore again with their new methods for beating our enemies, industrially and commercially, and they will first of all endeavour to victimise the schools and the teachers. We know that great changes will inevitably come. We, as teachers, should be the first to anticipate and welcome them in many respects, as Tennyson wrote in Loc.ksley TTatll: Not in vain the distance beacons: Forward, forward, let us range. Let the great world spin for ever down the ringing groves of Change. Thro' the shadow of the globe we sweep in- to the younger day— Better fifty years of Europe than a Cycle of Cathay.' That younger day will be ours to seize and utilise. The future of our country will be ours wherever the Peace Treaty will be sign- ed. So, for the sake of our "beloved country, I ask you again to be united. The State will require the very best work of its elementary and secondary school teachers. We shall be required to teach a worthy patriotism. Here we shall be treading on Holy Ground. Our minds and hearts will turn to the thousands of un- known graves in Flanders, Gallipoli, Mesopota- mia and Africa, and under the blue waves of  the ocean, but do not let us pretend to start teaching patriotism until we cleanse out hearts of all hatred, or we shall only be SOYv'-1 ing the seeds of discords which will end in an- I other world tragedy more appalling than the present one. I take it that we are in this European War because our conception of patriotism is based on the eternal principles of right > be- cause we believe equity, fair dealing, justïce a ad honour to be more than meie house- hold words: that Truth is not a mere word (i F, the hearth or tribe that morality and love are not confined- by latitude and longitude; that there are no boundaries to these on any map or chart. Shall we then believe that we will in the future be needed to teach all this with conviction, just as we believe that any country served in this or any other war by acts and motives contrary to the laws of God is inevitab- ly doomed r We shall then have some reason to hope for, and rejoice in the time— •' When the war-drums throb no longer and the battle flags are fnr1cd In the ParjiamKit or Man, the .Federation ,of A hearty vote of thanks was given to the President for his able address.

An Anarchist's Reply.I
An Anarchist's Reply. I MR. TORRES' RESPONSE TO HIS SPANISH CRITIC. WILLING TO DEBATE THE SUBJECT. it has been represented to me as incumbent upon me to reply to the only criticism that has been levelled against my article on The Fail- ure of Parliamentary Socialism," which was written for the columns of the Pioneer" at the urgent request of my good friend the Editor. It is a source of regret to me that the only criticism that has been levelled against that article has been that of Pio Vivian, a Spaniard and a Socialist—to his way of thinking. I must confess to a feeling of reluctance to reply to an article which was notable more for its virus than its logic, since one cannot, in re- plying to such charges as he makes, escapes the use of personal aliusians, which themselves in- variably engender a spirit never receptive of the true findings of fair discussion. Pio Vivian's method of disproving my arguments is that of prejudicially demonstrating the gross ignorance and damnable intrigues which he places to my credit in particular, and to the credit of philo- sophic Anarchy in general. He has placed them upon me and the movement for which I stand upon i-iie tn d the iiiovei-ae- a. series of insults, lies and attributes that have I feel sure, been repudiated by every man with any conception of what social questions mean. Unable to reply to the points raised by me in the course of my glance over the history of modern democracy—the assumption is a fair one—he has fallen back on abuse, in the exer- cise of which he has apparently been guided by the cacklings of a few analphabetics. At all events he has done his best to surprise the readers of the Pioneer" into the belief that the Anarchists are a mob of horrid wild beasts. This method of argument, though frequently met with in the apologetics of reli- gious fanatics and political reactionaries, is not usually met with in progressive movements, of which, in fact, it is the antithesis. Vivien tells you that Anarchy speaks of So- cialism with a poisoned tongue. As a matter of fact, the very reverse is the case. What the Anarchist does do is to struggle for the purifi- cation of his conception of Socialism, and to remove from it the stains of counterfeit Social- ism which has resulted from Socialism's sale and dishonour at the hands of place seekers and would-be dictators. Can the Belgium Socialists be conformable with Vanderveide, who travels about America making propaganda for the purpose of upturn- ing King Albert to the throne of Belgium? Can the French Socialists be in complete accord with Sembat and Guesde, their (supposed) ministers, or the GremaH Socialists with the Junker utter- ances of their delegates, Sudekum and Heine, 'who proclaim the continuation of the war? nay, can the body of Spanish. Socialists applaud the sorry sight of their leaders tying themselves in a shameful coalition with the Republicans in the fight against the upgrowth of Socialistic opinion? No, it is unthinkable that the honest Socialists amcMgst the toilers can applaud the action of these place seekers, who have won their support from Democracy only to take their place in the ranks of Democracy's op- pressors, willing to sacrifice the toiler either in the dread holocasut of war or to bleed him pain- fully after the manner ofthe age-old exploiters. My article was not intended to offend any one's ideals. It was but the expression of an opinion made with the purpose of fulfilling a democratic principle that all free men have the right, nay the duty, of expounding their view of the truth. 1 One can afford to smile a,t the parrot-like phrase of Mr. Vivien when he says, after the manner of the old opponents to Socialism itself, "Han has not cast away the instincts of ani- malism. Wretched the man who would mould his conscience upon present-day conceptions of duty-, religion, and morality for duty is but a synonym for slavery; religion a hypocritical cloak, and morality a false ethics that in the final examination are not far removed from prostitution. Then Mr. Vivien alters his tactics, after malignantly abusing us he changes his tone to one of pity. He compares us like hapless sailors on a rudderless barque, and considers it an act of humanity to guide us to the harbour of salvation. And his method is the instruc- tion that would kill the Anarchy which grows but in the darkness of ignorance. Perhaps I, as an Anarchist navigator, may be! allowed to state my own state of ignorance( ?). My ship was r built in the arsenal of my own conscience. The rudder is formed from the ideas that I gathered from 11 study of the books of Kropotkin, Karl Marx Bakunin, C. Malto, Proudhon, Charles Darwin, Haeckel, and Tol- stoy, amongst others. The compass was the gift of -ray Rationalist teacher, Jose Sanchez Rosa, who, in his 12 years' imprisonment as a victim of Spanish in- justice, acquired the necessary knowledge to come out and .dedicate himself to the genera- tion of a new humanity, under the leadership of Francisco Ferrer, himself mourned on his mur- der by England as a loss to humanity. My chart was learned off by heart In the uni- versal geography of EHseo Reclus, and the de- cision to travel towards the luminous beacon light of Communistic Anarchy was only come to after robbing myself of sleep, and burning my eyelashes reading with the light of a hang- ing lamp the works of Mirabeau, Gorki, Zola, Maeterlinck, Herve, Voltaire, JFlammarion, Mordeau, Renan, Wilkins, Ca-rlyle, Anselmo Lorenzo, Tarrida del and many more, who in company with Nietsche, Withe, and others, have forced me to the following conclu- sions. That the world is a portion of universal sub- stance governed by immutable laws that pro- duce evolutions that change and transform matter inoessalltly. This activity existed be- fore any creation, and with it for ever has flour- ished infinite possibilities of the manifestations of life. Life. I have learned, first, sprang upon the vetgetable kingdom deep down in the slime of the seas, and from that beginning has grown by slow and tedious processes the manifold manifestations of life that flourishes to-day on and and sea, and in the air. From the first divisions of the first germs, through countless millions of years, the story has been progressive, ending at last in the perfection of the organ- ism—man, and man as a natural product has complete liberty and autonomy withim the scope of natural limits. The fact that mat]. has travelled far from ths autonomy and liberty is attributable to no other reason than, that he lias ruptured himself from nature. The ancients made the breach bv their crea- I tion of slavery, and upon that foundation fie tyrants have ever builded their gilded irones. The wisest amongst the philosophers, with Aristotles at their head, declared that a society without slaves was an impossibility. The codes of Ma-na, and the Gospel of Christ were the happy hunting grounds wherein the Roman legislators discovered the principles from which to construct their code which, with modifica- tions serves us to-day. But all this is the work of men who have forgotten the natural rights of man. None but the panegyrists of the sombre and sad alone sing praises to pre- sent day organisation. With this ship of mine, equipped as I have stated, the Anarchists are navigating towards the port of future society. It is certain that we shall have to cross dangerous channels; to sail through well defended straits, and that, like all navigators, we shall experience rough seas and gales. But we shall reach our port. Our rudder will safely guide us through the channels and our compass with its magnetic North will save us in the storms. We are sailing protected in all the natural sciences, and there goes with us the well wishes, of brain if not of heart, of all save the near-sighted and humped-backed of thowght. Pio Vivian, as spokesman from the analpha- betics, calls this a school of vice, ignorance and immorality, and states that it • can out flourish in Spain, Italy, Portugal, and the South American colonies, where the standard of education is low. But this is destroyed by the fact that we are not disciples of Spanish mast- ers, but of English, Russian, French and German bruins-and the reason why their theo- ries have not gained greater currency in their own countries is because their Governments have had to retain government by dissembling, and to gain the help of the people h?ve been less reactionary in their methods than the governors of Spain and' the other countries referred to. But even in Britain there are large numbers of Anarchists as the papers cir- cula?no- in the English language demonstrates. I wiD not- dwell upon the absurdity of Mr. ViviaiL?'? school, which, with the tru ? Demo- cratic fervour of Philip II., when he burned thousands of men, women and children for the good of their Protestant souls and the glory of the Holy Roman Church, says: "Uncover the roots of this evil, and stamp it out to the benefit of mankind," but I do desire to re- pudiate our school of crime in which, The •end -justifies the means and then. sunk in the falcities of their doctrine drives the! ignorant to crime and suicide." This opens a wide field, which I will develop some time when space permits, and in which I wij'l en- deavour to show the English readers of the Pioneer" our aims and methods, and the causes of the unfortunate differences that ex- ist between the Spa,msh Anarchists and the Socialists. I desire to ignore the insults offered to me personally, because of the wise saving of an old Anarchist-: If we were to throw stones at every dog that comes out into the road, we shall never arrive anywhere." Finally, my op- ponent challenges me to discuss the question in "Jm Grupo Socialistade Dowlais," in the dub which keeps Socialism nailed to the mast, but this I cannot accept, since careful enquiries- have failed to elicit the address of this clu b, but I will willingly meet Pio Vivien, or any o his champi_ ons, before a representative body of Socialists, and our discussion can be turned I into English by an interpreter, so that all may know what transpires.

Trades and Labour Council
Trades and Labour Council LOWER DUFFRYN OPPOSITION TO AFFILIATION. Last Tuesday evening I attended a. meetino- of the Deep Duffryn Lodge of the South Wales Miners' Federation, and among the business for consideration was the question of affiliation with the Trades and Labour Council. Of course, this was opposed, but finally the majority was in favour. The very funny part about tiie op- position was that they could not find a clear issue What surprised me most was, the mem- ber who first opposed had little or nothing to say in defence of his argument, and the second opponent, though he had more than enough to say yet evidently did not understand the ques- tion, wanted to see a contribution card of the Council. Now, if I understand rightly what a Council is, it is a body of representatives, and not individual members. I hope my friend will get a little more in- formation concerning this Council before he comes another meeting, because he kas threatened to give some of us a warm time, but I think this friend had better be careful, be- cause we have young men who are not only members of the Federation, but are members of "the most distastejpil body of people in the world," and these boys can talk, and. what is more, they know how to defend themselves in any argument. The I.L.P. (for this is the body of people to whom I now refer) has the finest class of speakers in the country. When a di- rector ef education will give their young men credit for their very able addresses. there is something behind it. Now, what I want to say is this, that in my opinion the root cause of all this opposition is to be found in the fact that the I.L.P. in affiliated with the Trades and Labour Council. I am sorry the objectors were not man ly enoifgh to Sax, so if my surmise is correct. Let me asii my friends a question——Who have been the means of bringing about the reforms which the workers now enjoy? No doubt they will say the party who was in power when these reforms were introduced. I say they are due to the power of the organised labour "forces and the I.L.P. Were It not for these forces, we would oe in a more pitiable condition than we are at present, and, God knows, it is bad enough now. I want to make a frank statement. I do not agree with. Trade Unions, I do not agree with federations, and nia-iiy other laholE organisa- tions, but they are the best we have at present, and I believe I am right in supporting them until I can see something better. I am hoping the day will soon ctawu when we shall not only have a National Industrial Union, but an International Industrial Union. I am convinced, in my own mind, that this is the only means whereby- we can emancipate the workers of the world from the iron yoke and tyranny of the capitalist class. We need to organise ourselves better, for after th& war is ended we shall have something to face more perhaps, than we really anticipate. There is a great need at the present time for a lar"ger awakening among the labouring c l asses, and we must set ourselves on the watch P. r eyes open to a of our responsibility, so that we shall he abie- to face the foe as one man. Ye workers of the nation, Be wise, bo wise in time. Seek- to organise yourselves, By getting into I.ili(, Capitalist will crush you, Will drain the very dregs Of muscle, bone and marrow, And what can then be said? ic workers of the nation, You must not, shall not die, A brighter hope awaits you. Tis looming in the sky 'Twill come to every nation If workers will demand The right to work and right to live And by each other stand! Mountain Ash. J. BROOKS.
