MERIONETH 'EDUCATION COMMITTEE.
MERIONETH EDUCATION COM- MITTEE. PROPOSED SCALE OF SALARIES. A quarterly meeting of the Merioneth Education Committee was held at Bar- mouth on Thursday, 23rd inst. under the presidency of Dr. John Jones, Dolgelleyj A DUAL CAPACITY. Mr R E Roberts drew attention to the fact that Miss Roberts, the head- mistress of Celyn Council School, had been absent through illness for some months. The work in the meantime had been undertaken by Mr J. T. Joues, a retired schoolmaster, who was also employed as an attendance officer at a salary of C70. Mr Jones received no additional remuneration for teaching. He devoted his evenings and Saturdays to discharge the duties in connection with school attendance. The Clerk (Mr R. Barnett) read a communication from the Bala School Managers who suggested that Mr Jones when teaching at a school be paid the difference between his salary as atten- dance officer and (he salary usually paid the head teacher. Ultimately it was agreed on the pro- position of Mr R. E. Roberts, seconded by Sir H. B, Robertson, to pay Mr Jones, whilst temporary in charge of a school, at the rete of elOO per annum. PROPOSED SCALE OF SALARIES. The Clerk reported that a committee had under consideration a scale of sala. ries for teachers, and bad met on two occasions, but they were not prepared to submit a scheme. It was intended to bold a special meeting of the Edu- cation Committae in September. The Chairman endorsed what the Clerk said. "We had two very long meetings," he added," and it has been practically decided to adopt a scale of salaries in the County." STUDENT TEACHERS. It was resolved that bursars, who have completed their qualifying exami- nation for en tI auce to a training college, be remunerated during their year of service as student teachers at the rate of C25 per annum. APPOINTMENT OF EXAMINER. The appointment of Mr R. W. Jones, Gianadda Schools, Bangor, as examiner in connectitn with the entrance scholar- ship examination for 1914 at a fee of J614 was confirmed. HORTICUDTUR4L INSTRUCTION. The recommendation of the managers of Harlech Council School that horti- culture be included in the curriculum of the school, at the garden attached to Bronygraig, the property of the county, was approved. The Secretary author- ised to negotiate for a lease of the field adjoining Festinog Council School, now used as a garden. SUMMER SCHOOLS. Teachers engaged in the schools of the county were circularised inviting applications to attend the summer courses at Aberystwyth. Although the committee were prepared to pay the fees for one subject each to 20 of their number, eleven of their names were only received. COUNTY SCHOOLS GOVERNORS. Mr R. W. Jones was appointed a Governor of Barmouth County School, and Messrs Meredith Jones and Wm. Jones (relieving officer), were added to the governing body of Towyn County School. LECTURES ON PUBLIC HEALTH. Dr. R. Owen Morris, Birkenbead, of the King Edward VII. Memorial Association in the course of a few remarks, said lecturers in connection with the associ- ation, went on tour and delivered short lectures in schools on the prevention of tuberculosis. The lectures were such as to be suitable to a child's mind and edifying for essay writing. In order to have these lectures it would be necessary to grant a half-day holiday, and the county divided into about nine centres. He appealed to the committee to defray the travelling expenses of teachers to the lecture On the propo- sition of Dr R. Roberts (Isallt), seconded by Mr W. Parry Evans, it was unani- mously agreed to grant tht request.
