"Barmouth County School Prize…
Barmouth County School Prize Distribution The annual prize distribution in con- nection with the Barmouth County School was held on Friday afternoon, at the Pavilion. The chair was taken by the Rev. David Davies, Harlech (chairman of the Governors), and he was supported by Mr R Silyn Roberts, M.A the Governors and Staff of the School. The meeting was opened with the singing of the Belgian Anthem by the School Cboir under the conductorship of Miss Mary Davies, B.A. THE CHAIRMAN'S ADDRESS. I The Chairman, in the course of his address, said he was glad to welcome Mr R. Silyn Roberts, M.A., secretary of the Appointments Board for Wales, who was going to address them on an impor- tant question. He begged to thank the Governors for the honour they bad bestowed upon bim by asking him to take the chairat that function. During the past year the School bad progressed most favourably—financially and other- wise. The Talsarnau school area bad been added to the Barmouth County School area, and in future the Governors would benefit to the extend of £70 per annum, which would give the School more scope to spend in various direc- tions. The Barmouth Qflnty School bad been established under great diffi- culties, but he was glad to say that those difficulties had been overcome and the School bad progressed more than they bad anticipated. The main mover in securing the School at Barmouth was the late Mr T, E. Ellis, M.P., and there were only three of the old Governors who worked so hard for the welfare of the School now left, viz., Mrs Gwynoro Davies, the Rev. Z. Mather and Mr John Davies. When the School was opened the number of pupils was only seven, but that day there were 108 pupils in School, which was a record in the his- tory of the School. The School had made excellent progress during the last 20 years, and no doubt more would be done in the near future. He believed. that the town of Barmouth ought to be proud that the School bad been estab- lished at Barmoutb, and he hoped that all of them would continue to give their support so that the School would con- tinue to prosper. HEADMASTER'S REPORT. The Headmaster (Mr E. D. Jones, M.A.) presented his annual report, which was as follows I have pleasure in saying that the School year which ended last July was marked by steady progress in every re- spect. At the commencement of the year 'and during its course 37 new pupils were admitted, and there was an aver- age of 96 pupils on the School registers. This is a highly satisfactory number for our district and you will be interested to know that, according to the lately issued Area Report for the County of Mericnetb, the Barmouth district sends a larger percentage., of its elementary school pupils to the County School than any other district in Merioneth. In the whole county out of every 100 children that leave the elementary schools every year 21 enter secondary schools. In our district over 26 out of every 100 enter the County School. And when it is borne in mind that Merioneth is easily the first county,not only inWales but also in England, in this respect, this record speaks most highly of the zeal for secon- dary education in our district. And there is probably no district in the county where the parents make greater sacrifices, not only financially, but also to face the inconvenient railway arrange- ments, in order to secure for their chil- dren a course of secondary education. n In the course of the year and at its close 29 pupils left the School. In view of the subject of Mr Silyn Roberts's ad- dress it may be of interest to say that of these 29 pupils five obtained clerk- ships, four became farmers, three be- came teachers, three entered on business callings, one entered the Post Office, one became an engineer, one a dressmaker, and two entered College. Three girls took up domestic work at home.—The successes of the School at various exami- nations since the last Prize Distribu- tion have been very encouraging.— Several old pupils have also during the year brought credit to themselves and to their old School. Of these I shall mention Mr W. Watkin Davies, who gained a Caspard Exhibition during his residence at St. John's College, Ox. ford; Rev. Geoffrey Hewins, B.A., who was appointed to a curacy in the diocese of Southwell Mr Edmund Griffith, who was appointed headmaster of a large elementary school at Caerphilly. "In this connection,though it does not come within the School year under review, I feel sure you will all be glad to know that our old boys have responded readily to the call of their country in her time of danger. At least 50 are with the Colours, and several are already in the fighting line. Six are in the Navy (two being in the Flyiug Corps) one of these is a Lieutenant, one an Engineer-Lieutenant, and three are Petty-Officers. Forty-three are in the Army, one being a Lieutenant, five Second-Lieutenants, one a Gentleman Cadet, and two Sergeants. A number of other old pupils who were anxious to join were prevented from doing so because their services were requited in works supplying munitions of war for the Government. I feel therefore that we have every reason to be very proud of the record of the School in this respect. Though educated for a state of peace, they have realized their duties as citizens in a state of war. It will be a source of gratification to all friends of education to learn that in
