In other words, a good side turned up at the C.W.R. Station, Neath, in 1-ood time ind in good health; and t1 ey played a, sound game when they reached the enclosure eacred to Mr. Tom Sehofield \i and his lambs. First, for the preliminary trrurtt. kick-off at 4.56 is an injustice to both the worried Pressmen and the reading i public, for after you have parsed reams of "copy" through the reluctant 'phone, ;ou are confronted witth about ten per cent. of jt When you pack up your journal in tbe; evening. Well, it is no use grumbling. The idea is, one supposes, to suit the conve- nience of the colliers, but no one will con- vince me that this course is anything but bad business far the clubs. OUT-WEIGHTED IN FRONT. Neath won, .and won well; but they would have piled up a substantial score if it were mot for the fact that they were seriously i i=weiihi.d in front, and that Cornfield ■ /was more or less a failure as Dai Morgan'a partner. Ea-e Morgan Bees been back in hili place, Neath backs were otiffic* ietiUY superior to the home set to have put up a hezi-Y score. This only emphasises what I ve aJl along maintained, that the backs at the disposal of the Neath Club are a, good lot, and only need a, few hours of training together, and some intelligent dis- cussions on "tacfcica," to force the old club right back to the front rank. Dai Morga.a .is slow in a long run, but I have known .,w-)me splendid outside halves who euffe-ed "from the same disability. The chief factor .? that he is eaaenti?Uy a footb&Her. al- though it is bad business to put him in the three-quarter line except in an emergency. Neath missed Joe Pullman, Giyn &tephena. end D. M. Da,vi?. The two former ha.e weight, and the last-named is a worthy successor to Bob Gre-enaz a dribbler. MISFORTUNES OF GLYN STEPHENS. By the way, Glyn Stephens is unfortu- nate, for he wrenched the muscles of his back last week while following employ- ment. It is good to know that this I'?iiliLt young forward is, however, fast recovering tMa general health, and it is nonsense for ébim to talk of retiring definitely from the tgame; it simply cannot be permitted, for' next season both jieath and Wales AiUl need hie servioee. Although out-weighted, j the Neath forwards beat Stockford and Co in heeling during the second half, but one I M bound, to admit that Leidtke was too J good for Cornfield on Saturday's fc,rm.,Ond that Dai Morgan W.308 in consequence seriously handicapped. Owing to the un- ■consciously late start the list of ecorers was not given in Saturday's papers, o it will be as well to give them here. The first try to Neath came as the result of a grand burst by Vernon Hill. He beat everybody bar the full-back, and when confronted by' the Bridgend custodian near his line, 3;e obort-punt-ed, when Tom Owen, dashing up at top speed, took the ball and fell ever the line with a gem of a try. A FITTING REWARD. Thereafber, dIlriTl;g the first half, the dash of the home i :il the brilliant nuraing of the touch-line by MeibaurH Thomas es- tablished a superiority that made the visitors' supporters justly anxious, and the; three points, notched from a fine penalty/ goal dropped by Thomas, was a Rtting re-j oa<d for ooos??at a.Ha?M. ADar ik6 it i "T. was all Neath, and Vernon Hill scored a determined try after a glorious run by Owen Hopkins. In the second half, follow- ing a fine dribble by Morgan Lloyd, t- ere was a loose kick which the ubiquitous Tom Owen snapped up with avidity. He deiu1 beat three men in sue ^scion, and his f ? al pass to Dai Morgan the Bridgend line gave that player nothing to do but, to rnn over. Then Tom Lioyd had the second great disappointment of his career. The firet was when he was deprived of the gveat try he fairly scored against South Africa On Saturday" Tom was a bit disgusted at the failures to put the ball over the La-r, so he took the place-kick from Dai Morgaa'e try himself. It was a beautiful v. tl, worthy of Jack Bancroft, and when the referee declined to allow T. -C." ithe hrst goal of hie career, on the grounds that the kicker had touched the ball, he was highly indignant TRY AGAIN. Tom talks 01 appealing to the W.F.U. tf recover his one little ewe-lamb. Neve mind, Tom, try again; if you can l-'ici. consistently like that, you can get a fevt goals yet ere the season ends. There woic two three-quarters on the field at Bridgenc, who had sufficient football intelligence k go straight through instead of running round. They were Melbourne Thomas, aii ex^county schoolboy for Bridgend, and cr JllJn Hill for Neath. Keep your eye on both these lads, for you will hear more of them next season if all goes well. Thomas wili probably be "coveted" by Cardiff ere Ions. It is good news to Neath that Tommy Cwer, is recovering form, for he showed more «>i his real hardy tyle at Bridgend than he has given us since that nasty smack he re- ceived in the face during the course of the Glamorgan T. Somerset game. Will Adey had few chances, but he also tried to get through, while Trevor John was, ae nsua1. pluck and dash personified. If this playei- could onJy add a few yards to his speed le would be one of the most dangerous wing", in Wales. Could John, Adey, Hill, Owen, and Morgan be permitted to meet, if orl. once a week for practice, there would tr some delightful back play shown by he Neath backs. Of course, there are diffi- culties. RESOLVEN'S RESERVES. In view of the Rugby Cup match Resdven caBed upon several reserves for Saturday's game with Ferndale. Put (writes Rover") in the call they found talent that glittered, with the result that the Rhondda men were severely trounced and were lucky to escape as well as they did. Prior to the game the steam-roller flattened the mad heaps and aquashed the daisies, but still the pitch was a quagmire. Fern dale brought down a good side, and many Bupporters who sported the "Scarlet" colours in their caps and coats. And they made no secret, of their boast that they were going to win. Resolven made an en- couraging start. Bob Pritchard giving the "dummy," and carried play to the visitors' camp. Jones relieved the pressure, but from a scrum in mid-field J. N. Powell made a beautiful opening, transferred to Edgar Thomas, and the latter sent Da a Owen with an unimproved try. A few minutes luter Dan was over in the same place, after ano- ther fine movement. With a six-point lead Ferndale adopted spoiling tactics, and Tom Thomas and Abe Griffiths checked several good bouts by intercepting. At the interval Resolven lead by six points. REDUCING THE LEAD, Within one minute after the restart Fern dale reduced the lead by scoring a try through Morris, which wac converted ty Will Jones. Strenuous play followed, but Ferndale were out-classed in speed and skill, and during the last twenty minutes the homesters were aJl over them. From a, Bcrum near the line Bob Pritchard left Biddisoombe in the lurch, and sent Powell over with a 6mart try. Edgar Thomas added another immediately following the drop-out ,and Ben Johns dribbled over the line, but "dapped" instead of "tapped." and the try was disallowed. When the whistle sounded Resolven's score-sheet, showed 12 points and Fenuiale' five. For the victors every member of the back divi- sion was a star, whilst in the vanguard I Edgar Williams,' a recruit, waa a shining light among a very fine pack, of which Evan Jones, Fudge, Pritchard, Madley, and I Jack Brown proved the mainstay. The cut- standing players for Ferndale were Will Jones, Tom Thomas, and Griffiths in the rear, and Flynn, Lewis, and Morris in the forward lilWo [

BRYNCOCH INQUIRY. II EDUCATION COMMISSIONER SITS FOR TEN AND A HALF HOURS. j SCHOOLMASTER'S EVIDENCE. The inquiry, presided over by Mr. G. Younger, K.C., into the dispute between the Glamorgan County Council and the managers of the Bryncoch Non-provided School, which was reported in the Leader" yesterday, lasted from 10.30 a.m. tili 9 p.m. It was stated for the managers that the staif of the schooi consisted of aj head teacher, two uncertificated and: one pupij teacher, and that the total I salanes paid amounted to .-£:416 10a. The atrciou of the county authorities had badly disorganised the staff of the; school. In the ten years prior to the! I Education Act of 1902 there had only been eighteen changes in the stair, but in the ten years following the passing of the Act there had been 06. Mr. J. AV. Hills, London (instructedj by Messrs. Strick and Bellingham, j Swansea), appeared for the managers of the Bryncoch School, and Sir David! Brynmor Jones, K.C., M.P., was for the County Council, whilst Mr. Arthur' A. Thomas watched the case for the National Union of Teachers. Aid. ffm.1 Howell, J.P. (Skewen). and Aid. Hop- kin Morgan. J.P., were the only mem-, bers oi the County Council present. I ) Reduction of Salary. 1 In his concluding remarks, Mr. Hills said the local authority had from the first persistently refused to provide fund-, for the proper maintenance of the schools in question, and in spite of the obvious inadequacy of the sum pro- vided, they had adhered to that sum as near as possible, notwithstanding that the course of action involved an un- reasonable reduction in the head teacher's salary, and the adequate pay-1 ment of other members of the teaching staff. The whole policy of the authority had been to discriminate between two; daises of schools. They had done it from the beginning, and were doing it now. I Headmaster's Evidence. I Mr. Roger Howelis, the headmaster, was the first witness called. He said he had hold an headmaistership for the past 33 years, and had been 25 years at Bryncorh, and up to 1913 his salary was £200 per annum. Before the re- duction of salaries, the staff was paid £ 416 per annum, and £ 11 was knocked off. In consequence great dissatisfac- tion prevailed, teachers left, and even the school cleaner almost went on istrike. Examined as to the salaries pa,id at Bryncoch, witness said they were much lower than those paid in some council schools. He instanced the Gadoxton I School, where the difference was £90. Questioned by Sir D. Brynmor Jones, witness said he wis fir-zt appointed to the Bryncoch School in September, 1888, under a written agree-ment. Sir D. Brynmor Jones: Do you pro- duce it? Witness: I can't, sir. It was de- stroyed when the new agreement was' entered intd. Further examined, witness said. he was responsible for the staffing of the school in the okl days. Nothing to an M.P. Sir Brynmor Jones: I thmk you have represented yourself as rather a hard worked mant-I have, sir. No people are hard worked now-a- days, arc they?—Well, I am. Are you harder worked than the Insurance Commissioners? (Laugh- ter.)—I can't say, but it has been an utter impossibility for me to carry out my duties in school hours. I have on many occasions been kept till ten o'clock at night doing record work, and at four o'clock in the morning I have been to exhausted to go to bed. Fouf o'clock in the morning?" com- mented Sir David. Why, that is no- thing to a member of Parliament." (Laughter.) Mr. Howells: Perhaps not, but I don't get ?400 a year. (Loud laughter.) Re-examined, witness said that when his salary w? reduced he threatened to institute proceedings. The mana- gers, however, had paid him the de- ficiency in salary— £ 43 a year. "Put In Arnold's Life." j The Commissioner: May I ask,,Mr. Howelis, your age?—57 next August, sir. And it would be increa.singly difficult to get a change?—It would, on aocount of age. The Rev. J. C. Thomas, chairman of the local managers, said the managers had paid certain sums since 1912, to maintain the Council School rate. Examined as to the respect in which the headmaster was held in the village, Sir Brynnuor Jones interposed with tho remark, "Put in Arnold's Life" (Laughter). When the penny bank was mentioned. Sir David ,"id he could not see tho relevancy of thë-PeJlllY bank to the Edu- cation Committee, and suggested that the Vicar be asked the number of ser- mons lie preached, the number of people he converted, and some statistics as to the Sunday school. In the course of a lengthy argument. Sir David Brynmor Jones contended that they treated the Brynooch school exactly as if it were a provided school from the County Council point of view. Mr. Rhys Nicholas, a. member of the k Executive of the ZI.U.i. was oa&uiiami j at some length regarding the scale of salaries for head teachers under the County Council. He contended that owing to the low rate of salary, there was great difficult-IT to get qualified teachers. If Mr. Howell had been dis- missed he did not think they could have obtained a man of equal qualification for less than £200. This closed the case for the managers and Mr. Howell. Commissioner's Difficulty. Sir David Brynmor Jones, on behalf of the County Education Authority, said that the authority wished to give the Commissioner every opportunity of inquiring into the whole question. Ho proposed to isuiow tiiat the Education Authority had in no wa.y differentiated between head teachers. With regard to ths staff, these appeared to be now satisfied. The Education Authority had taken the only proper eouJ.:W in reducing the salary of this headmaster, in order not L to differentiate between this and other schools. The Commissioner jwinted out that he was stiil in a difficulty as to what authority the County Council had exer- cised in reducing Mr. liowe-iP* salary. The Education Authority would have had a right had the reduction taken place in 1903, when they took over the schools. But they did not do so, but took over the schools and paid the salary of f;193 for nine years. Sir David contended that the County Council were quite within their rights by reducing the salary to meet the ex- penditure. Comparing grade with grade, Sir David said that the. Bryncoch Schools were treated equally as well as all the firovided schools of similar capacity under the jurisdiction of the authority. Mr. T. Mansel Franklin (Clerk to the County Council), in the course of his evidence, said that the education autho- rity had reduced several head teachers' salaries in non-provided schools in such cases where they were much too high, but there had been litigation in connec- tion with these cases. A very Great Hardship. Mr. T. Powell (Primary Inspector under the County Council) put in com? parative returns showing tK(,- cost per head of the schools and salaries paid in each of the various schools in the dis- trict. This closed the evidence. The Commissioner said that, looking at it from an individual point of view, be thought that it was a very great hardship upon a. worthy servant to have his salary reduced by Y,43, and was yet expected to do- the same amount of work. It was not very much encourage- ment, he thought. I Counsel then addressed the Commis- sioner, and the hearing, which, as stated above, lasted from 10.30 to 9 o'clock, was then closed.

HUSBAND TURNED OUT. At an occasional sitting of the Neath Borough Justices on Tuesday, William Thomas. haulier, Taillwydon, was charged on a warrant with disobeying a main- tenance order against his wife, under which she alleged L2 5s. was due. Defendant admitted that he had not laid the Ohief Constable 1Jie money, but had sent it direct to his wife. All be owed "as 3c. 6d., and she could have it now. OIl the day the order was made he gave his wife 258,. and bought boots for the children and a shawl for the baby. He complained that he ha.1 been turned out of his house to make room for a lodger. He called hifl eister, Margaret Kt'ifht, Ethel-etreet, who spoke to having seen the purchases made and handed °Vl' 10 Lie wife. Applicant admitted these facts, and the arrears having been reduced to £1 2a., de- fendant wa46 ordered to pay up or go (.(wn for 14 days. Defendant: Oh, I'll pay!
