WELSH SINGING RULES.
WELSH SINGING RULES. The ooiTespondiiig seci<etary of the Swansea Male Vodoe Party has thrown into the arena a challenge which will arouse a good many ardent souls to action. There is a curious resemblance] between the matter at issue and the present position in the W ølh football world for Mr. James alleges that there are top note vocalists who invariably expect to be treated differently from what he calls the" ran k and filp." They think that a. month's practice or so is sufficient for them, an d that if they are wanted they are to be paid their expenses and perhaps a, little more, wlhether it is the citst-om for the choir to pay expenses or not." A prominent, member of the other local ma.le v-oice cli-o-ir yc-Aerdav entered a plea of not guilty to the allegation that his organisation (if the allegation is aimed at this organisation) poached singers-we had almost written players •—and gave "special inducements." make no consideration to any man to join my choir," he said. EVeai when we go out of town I do not pay men for broken time. I just pay their expenses. So we have to smrch fur- ther afield for theulprit, if any How- ever. we wish iVlr. Arthur James success in his campaign- Art will not deter- iorate if it is paid for, but at our #/e)«h Eisteddtoda.u it should be mado per- fectly clear that singers, whether in the oh or its or as soloists for choirs, should compete for the honour and the glory and the prize, not for a.ny further con- sideration. The Mountain Ash Com- mittee are acting very wisely in limit- ing entry into choral competitions to ho-na fide members of the organisations they realy t rei)resent,
BISHOP ON NATIONALITI.
BISHOP ON NATIONALITI. The Bishop of St. David's does an injustice to the intelligence of AVIIIels. He said at A herd-are thai; it was- a Itere assumption that the Welsh memlers, in their enthusiasm for thi<i i+eau ftttle Bill," represented the consitlred and informed judgment of a. inajoriy of Welsh electors. Such support as tlit-, Bill received in Wales at the last General Election was given, the Bshop holds, under a misapprehension o the meaning of its proposals. The new line of defence will not do. No Hil has come before a legislature so thoroighlv understood as was the Disestablielment Bill by tho Welsh people. The pro- posals were not new, and ektion after election since the settles has proved, conclusively to tkose with eyes willing to jsec, that the Welsh members went to Westminster b ex- press the considered and informe judg- ment of a majority of the Wela elec- tors. The Bishop further contends that the political theory of Welat, nationality put forward by Welsh disests»li,shers was not only absurd for the agressive purpose for which it wa»s fra-ifed, but wa.s,al,io in itself a mischievous theory, because it degraded the fine petrv of Welsh patriotism into the badprose of party politics. They must eek he added later, for some souffer and broader foundation for the citation of Welsh national life than tlH passing opinions of opportunist piiticians. Two things we would like tf say re- garding theÆie points: and, renumbering the Archbishop's plea against orn and immoderation, we will mentio. them as mildly as we can. Firstly: J the fine poetry of Welsh patriotism i-snot to be translated into deeds, it ba no use. Welsh Disestablishment, t»ec<idly, does not result from the passing opinion of opportunist politicians. It s a logical consequenoe of the fine poetv of Welsh patriotism; it results from he feeling, which has been- the passlonof all our most revered leaders, thai the estab- lishment of the Church of 1 minority, and a church of alien oigin, is an affront to Welsh natiopal l:e.

I TO walk the streets of London, East and West and Noi-th and South, through the long dark. watches of the night; to turn out or the lighted thorougnfares where crime lurks for its rey into the black byeways where rutnanism is afoot far into the night, is 1 1 an adventure which the wise journalist does not undertake alone. At the time, the Parliamentary Police Enquiry was in progress 1 was com- missioned to pass benind the veil of night and see with my own eyes the cir- cumstances in which the work of the unarmed guardians of the citizens' lives and the City's wealth is accomplished. And so from eleven o'clock at night till four and often five o'clock in the morning I passed with the police through almost every district of London. Bedlam Broke Lease." At one a.m. on the first night of my task I found myself surveying from the sheltering doorway of a house a' mad melee in which some dozens of men and women were engaged. Three or four constables were doing their best to break up and scatter the opposing forces, and taking the consequences with a command of temper which was magnificent. When, with the assistant of a small reinforcement, which hur- ried to the spot, the constables had secured some half-dozen of the dis- turbers of the peace, a mob of men and women followed the captors and the cap- tives to ths Police Station. They were yelling and shouting and shriekiug forth under the silent stars such a wealth or unpicturesque invective that one realised there and then all that could be conveyed by the old-world ph rase "like Bedlam broke loose." The total strength of the Division guarding this area of London is—or was at the time of my experic-nce-545. Of these the- official returns showed that no less than 215 iaien had gone on the sick list, more or lees seriously injured during the year. Hard by the house from which Messrs. Milsom and Fowler set forth to uinrdef a lonely old man in his home at Mus- well Hill, and left behind them the toy lantern which was to be the damning proof against thein long afterwards at the Old. Bailey, I came with my com- panion and guide at three o'clock in the morning upon a burly ruffian who was wrenching out an iron railing; for use as a weapon. Tie had been knocked down in a, fight, and he was going to have his revenge with something harder than his list. Two constables closed with him and struggled for the bar. They took him into custody for "wilful damage and somebody's life was probably saved that night. In the criminal quarters the raiiingg are rarely whole. The bars are found to be handy weapons both for defence and attack. The Hat Pin as a Weapon. At. two o'clock in the morning. while on the beats that extend from King's Cross to Hoxton, I had my first experi- ence of the hat-pin as a weapon in the hands of the fair She was a good looking girl of nindeen,bult, r faw WíLS cut and bleeding, and while a group of men ranged themselves round and mad e Iti- sort of ring she stabbed furiously at a burly young hooligan who, unable to close with hor because of her weapon, managed to strik e her in the. face wrtl* hi? fist again and again. As the Police came in sight bhc grcup broke up a?n? came in fb4- grcup bro k e -tip d Not long afterwards in a London mortuary I saw the body of a man with half a bat pin -hu.ried in his skull. He had died in the hospital, un- conscious and therefore unable to say who had been his assailant. A Local Monte Carlo. In the black abyss there are dark, ill-lighted streets where shadowy forms pass in the mirk the long night through. It was in a dark and appar- cnrtly dead to the worM back alley that I saw the sudden raiding of the local Monte Carlo Adjoining the street—one of th* notorious Guilt Gardens in London-- was a cul de sac. On one side of it was a dead wall, nn the other a linn of low sheds in which the local costers kept their donkeys. At two in the morning passing along the alley ray companion saw a dim ray of light through a chink in a stable door. He turned, walked back, found the con- stable on the beat, and they proceeded together to the stable. A violent blow buvst the door open and the group of lads who were engaged in "a game of chance" found their night's entertainment rudely inter- rupted. i hese wer-e alt young thieves andl mnong them were two of the local terrors. They resented the interrup- tion of their card party with a volley of invective, and one of them, as ho cleared off, called out to the con- stable, You'll be up on the wall to- morrow J A few minute-; later in a black bye- way adjoining the alley I learnt tho meanmg-of the threat. Chalked up on the outside wall of a common lodging- house were these words: More copper si wanted—two killed here last night." It was an exagger:#i<i>n. Only i one policeman had been killed the previous evening. The other was in hospital and hkelj to recover. Insane Criminals. "I don't want you to-4byl" said < "mad dog" hooligan to a policeman who walked with me through an off track street that has been pleasantly described as "Hangman's Land"- "I'm keeping you for another time. And he meant t- The "other time" came aTnonttt later when, at four in the morning, on a narrow bridge over the canal, the mad dog hooligan tried to hurl hm victim into the water and would pro- hably have' succeeded had not help arrived The m.an who had a long record of. murderous assaults to his debit was a maniac who ought long ago to have ex- changed the prison for the criminal lunatic, asylum. All th? mystery that lies in tbe? ?ordo "While London Sl-e)S" is an ope* "Whi!?

Their bravest deeds performed in lonely places and in the darkness of the night are never heard of. An un- armed force, the only thing a con- stable carries in his hand is his life.

PRACTICAL EDUCATION. j
PRACTICAL EDUCATION. j The next meeting of the Swansea Education Authority ought to Lsee some practical step being taken with the ob- ject of drawing together the educa- tional and the commercial interests of the town. Principal Trevor Owen ayiS quite truly that schools do not exist to teach boys detailed office work; they exist to supply the fundamentals of knowledge, and to create a thirst for education. The hcadma&ter of Terrace- road issues a challenge to ianytxxiy to prove that the two top classes of his school are not well grounded in the three RVs. Mr. Davies. may be able to sustain his challenge. In any event it is not desirable to go into these par- ticulars the broad fact, is that, almost without exception, those who receive written applications for situations from boys just leaving school are left con- vinced) that there is sometlung wanting in our system, and that, the funda- mentals are weak. The schoolmaster himself admits that in consequence or the increased number of subjects in the: schools there is no time for repetition I of exercises so as to produce strict accuracy. Here is the centre of the trouble. Til business, strict accuracy is the ideal always preached. Perhaps it is neve1 attained, for to make mistakes is tlK lot of iis all; but if in the modern school | system there is no time to develop ac- j curacy, we tremble to contemplate ithjj sort of office worker the next generation will secure. On the whole, a case tots been made out for the necessity of a round-table talk between the instructo-s of the young idea and the men IVII), later on, will have to employ it. Prh- cipal Owen thinks that such a confer- ence would be very useful. He is Ibt I alone in that opinion. The next thiigi is to see that commercial men ai d headmasters have an opportunity of putting their heads together.
