ROBERT HUGHES, J.P (President of the Cardiff Cynunro- dorion Society). T?te teachirg of Welsh as <[ compulsory, that ts, <t<t Ot-c<mor; sitbj,,ct of instruction ia the Cardiff schools. To the Citizens of Cardiff,— I have the honour to direct your attention to the following, a.:aon6- many, rea<ons for the present system of majun? Welsh a c()mpu¡sory. th&t is, an ordinary, subject of instruction m the Cardiff schools:— I.—THE ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS. ¡ (a) What is meant by eomputtory Welsh is the Placing of Weish In the Mtme position in the ttma.t&btes M Eng- ti)th and the other ordinary achoo< wubjecta. (b; Every optional subject is invaxiably either inem- ci?atly tau,-t?t OL- abaad,)ued. (C) iheeU.ti('¡tltbeetir' mental training which irolIl the iearniIll of a cond are umveraany admitted. In \Va.:ea oniy cam the chii- dren of the working the benefits. Why should the parents of the children in the el ernenta.ry schools of Cantitl a way this great privilege and I' (d) There i;, no conntt; b&tween Ftench õ1I1d Welah, because French cancot be eniciently taught in the elementary schools of this country, but Welsh Mn be effiClntly taught bec<iil<ie it ia the living guage in the coiintry. (e) The Weish lajigmge has distinct commercial value in Vules, jor It u d!'mandro of persons holding omctal and other pOMtioM in the Principality. For exajnpie. it is necesBaj-y for county-court judges, stipendiary magistr.ttas, &md other persona hotdiRg Government appointments It is aiso necessary in bants, m schccis and colleges, in the Churches, in commercial and industry ciTdes, 4c tc (f) The learaing of WPLH m the stetnentary tchooia will rery matenany help those who are being prepared to L-nLer the aecottdary school !md there to acquire a ]uMw!edg-e of othr mcdern languages. (g) The reports of His Majesty's iMpectorsMthe prasent method of teaching We]sh aa an ordmary or compuJ.¡ory subject in the 3Chools of Cardiff are highly (h) Vtetsh is not a dimctUt language to acquire. English-speaking chtidren learn it In Mhool with the gxeatast ease. Many of the leading omciah in Wales to-day .i.re Englis!lmen who htve .tcouired Welsh, suoh as Dr. Uooda.U. in CMdjft, and Mr.< Darlmgton. M.A., his Majesty's ntspector of Mhools. H.-HLl!; .MUNICIPAL SECONDARY -,C'dOOL (a.) There is no intention to make Welsh CO-Pulsory for all the tchotarw in this echoot, but on)y for those who &re being prepatred to become te&cherB. (b; There is no conflict between French and Welsh. The time-t&bte can be made to inctude both languages. In a targe nuntber of the aecondary schools of the Principality Weish and French are now being taught to the same pupits. tCi Frnch js not taught in 9choOLS any- Wiere. and a tnowtedxe of French is, therefore, néJt tor a,ppoi11tment6 in such ?d) Weleh ;s taught in practically aU the schoo15 ot Wa.les, and, threfore, a k'?,wid- ot ?AIBL is an qua.lifiœticn for appomtments in and a knowledge of Welsh does net pre- vent from a teaching appoint- ment in England. (e) In pract?cally all the pupil toseber!V centres in Waies '?4?lsbL is now treated 'an ordinary, 4ur compuledry, subject. If it ie not so treated in Cardiff, the pupili from Cardi1!: will be at a diE- advant&ge in oat&ining positians in "ale6. (1) All iltudents in the pupil ce-ritre are be4ug prep?Lred for adrai-?.ion into training co!lo?gf'S f.? -b. ition f lment schOOl teachers, and for euch only. Finally, may I draw your to the bct that, being the cbief city of Wa.le3, it is not only desirable, but to her future pre-emin-enœ, he shaH 00 the chief centre of tl1 Principality, the of all the national imetittttioae, and the uursery of all BatioMi tapiia- tioD.l+. ? ? ??' ? AG AINST. BY COUN. F. J. VEALL, J.P. (Chairman of the British League of CardiS). The case against compulsory Velsh. In stating the ease against compulsory teaching of Welsh in Cardig school, i will contend it is unfair, bound to children, teachers, and parents. Take elementary schools. It is unfair becauso lessoM in more useful subjects must be cur- tailed to makti time for Wefsh, and whatever may be the vatue of that lMgua.ge as taught in schoo), ;t cannot be ptte<:t.ve teaching unjess \\elsh is habitually spoken in the homes, which is not the case in CardJi. It is tyrannical because a parent in a free country should have an inatien- abte right to &ay what language other than English-the Emptre language- his chitdren should be tausht. It is bc'ind to handicap the ehiidren, since such subjects as drawing, history, or geography must be dropped, one entirely or all parti&Uv, ;f three hours weekly be devoted to \\e'<!h, which cannot be learned in so short a time. In 3eCOnd"Y schools and pupil it is unfair because it is to teach two modem languages in addition to EngUsh detracting N'n the science or art eubjects. It may be desirable to make one modern language other than -Engttsh compuiMry hfre. but parents should decide whether it should be French or Webh. It is tyrzlnaical because it will force parents who h??e educated, their chitdren for the teaching profession either to drop the idea or to scad them into JEngJajid to complete their course, or, in order to keep up and other subjecM. the children must overtax their brains by givlDg up spare time which should be devoted to Te3tion to make up for thœe school hours occupied by the Weish teaching. It wlll those who wish to take honour5 at {;ni\-ersity or elsewhere, because their rivals In England whom wil moot in the not had to Welsh, will have bad more time for the study of those more useful and practical subjects which tell in such examinations. This was admitte-d in the repli from certain colleges to the Mountain Asn IMucaticn Authority Fajenta will be haj!dicapp"d im m.iny instances through their children being taught many subjectoby second or third rate teachers with & knowiadge of Welsh, who will have the preferonce over first-class teachers without that knowledge. Waiea it felt wlli be handicapped when its public appointmente are cioaed to moaoglot E-ngliahmen because, on that being recognised, England will reta- liate Lpon Welshmen, and the smaller country, with surplus of native c&ndida.tea ior it own appomt- will suffer most. It ts said Cardiff may tose the loca- tion of certain Covernment buildings in the future should a separate Educa- tion Department for Wates be formed unless the cttixens fall into line on the computsory Wetah nuestion. ) do not see how this can happen; but, if so, better tose them than purchase the ofttciai recognition of the city ae capital of Wales at so dear a price. In conciusion, 8inœ Montgomeryshire claim to have; m?de MtMf<tctory arrangement! for teaching Wei? effectively wh?rB requ'red and bava no wiah to make rt compulsory m &ii e<:h<K)!.s, surety Cardiff cön do the Optional W<sh meins WeTeh taught undc.r beet pos- eiMe cond.tiona by Weh teachers to We)sh chUdren, ,with the parent3 in sympathy. Compulsory WeJ6h BMajM elsh taught umder worst poesibJe ooaditions by teachers, moEtly unsympathetic, to Eaeiiah chiMTen. with pM&nta hosttte to the wh&!e proceedtnM .Mr. David DitviM, M.P., pobhcty condemms the oomi puleory teaching of '\VeIah aa a grave miatate, cert&m to react upon its advocatM, and save: "A Mtion cam- not be compelled to teaju a language any more than to believe m a certjtin form of religion." This is common-sense, and t hope all Cardiff citizens will wote in this ptebis- ctte according to their true convic lions, and t appeat to those Weishmen who have not had, and do not intend to hava, their own chttdren taught Wetsh not to vote for matting ft corn nutsory in the councit schoots, to which so many have no alternative but to send their children. F&L-play and no favour is all that is asked for.

I Air Riflhooting I CARDtFF LEAGUE D)V)S!ON FORECASTS The Caledonians visit Grajigetown to teat their trangth against the London Style. When the teame previ0U5ly IIIoBt the Styles won by l'igh points, the Grange men so&ring 355 to the Cateys' 337. The "CQeys" axe now a more improved lot, and can be safely reckoned on aa a sound 29 team. The Sty, on the other hajid, have opened the second half ot the seaoon in none too promising a irMnef, getting only 339 against Ely Mid 537 against Ada.msdown on F'ida.y. For .to-night they will need their strongest team out, otherwise they will lose. The (Newport) entertain the team. The will, no doubt, have their strongest twelve out, but they will not win. Grange CJonserva.tive8 and A.daID5down should see an interesting finish. Grange have a very strong team, but they are often handicapped through men being unable to get off. If they have their full strength out to-ni-,ht they will win; if not, Ada.msdown. ma.y stand a cmmce of bagging the points. Liberals are 600ring none too well just now. Their opponenta to-night, Cadoxton, are right on the top of their form, and can be relied on for over 3..0. The match ended in of the Liberals. Charley's boys sIwuld reverse this to-night. AVin4dsm are át home to the AILerts. The A's are fond of patting on tall scores against the leading teams, and they will. no doubt, do so again to-night. The Windsors should win, but Knott will have to get hi best men out. York go to the Central Liberals. They gave the a rare doing on and nearly won. The Liberals are a nicely-balanced lot, and are capable of taking the points. The nrst match between the Terminus and Napier ended in favour of the latter by 30 points, the Ter- minl1:S only gettIng 309. The Terminus are showing splendid scores just now, and should win corn- fortably to-night. who are at home, will prove too big a for Ely to swallow. They should win by aNything over a dozen. The Stags, on theIr own range, meet the tion. Both t63mB are eTenly and there will not be much between them at the finish. The Stags, who have not won since October 26, may do so to- night. Lan<!down6 6h.ould register their second win againat the Central CcnaeTvatives. I RHONDDA LEAGUE I -N o took pl3ce la5t week, awing to the holidays, league nxturea commenting &gaia. on TTrura- da.y.

Mother-in-Law Blamed I ACTOR AND HIS WtFE Ro'bert F]-a,ttk Williams, of Stockport, was summoned at Stratford on Saturday for deserting his wife Ellen. Defendant is des- cribed as an actor. 'Hie parties. it was stated, were married in October, 1399. and asides the one child of the marriage the complainant took care of her hcsband'a child by his Brst marriage. Fifteen months ago the defendant, in the course of his profession, went awa.y. but during hLg absence he sent his wife, who M a.n actress, various sums of mocey. In August last she rcoeived a, letter in which it was stated that her husband was living with another woman. The complainant asked him to give the sirl u'p and be re<xmcilcd to her, a.nd the defen- dant agreed to do so and promised to resign his engagement and take another one at Weston-super-'Mare, where his wife was to join him. however, failed to do so, his wife understood that he followed the girl to I<eamiagton. Sinoe October he had not sent her any money. In a letter addressed to the clerk, dated December 24, the ddenùa.nt stated tha-t he had been out of regular employment, but he httd obtained a, Christmas engagement t a. salary of .E2 a week. He intimated his will- ingness to allow his wife .El a week, but he declared that his mother-in-law and his brother-in-law, with -.th,>m she lived, had created trouble. This, however, the com- plainant denied, and said that it was arranged by her husband that she should live with her mother. T'he Bench granted & aepa,ratio.n, and ordered the defendant to pay his wife 15s. a. week.

I 'Boks' Last Match. I CARDIFF StDE A POWERFUL COM- BtNAHON. AItboogh it has not been ofEcially announced, we a.re able to state authorita- tively that the Cardiff Rugby Football Club Committee have selected the following fifteen players to play against the South Africans in the last match of the Springboks' British to'ur on the Cardiff Arms Park to-moTrow:— Fall-back: H. B. WinSeld. Three-quajter backa:. J.L.Williams, R-T.Ga.be. E. Gwyn NichoHa, CecilF.Bigga. Half-backa: R. J. David, P. F. Bush (captain). Extra,-ba.ck. Reginald A. Gibbs. Forwards: G. Northmore (vice-oapta.iQ), William Neill, John Brown. A.Brice, F. Smith, J. Casey, J.Powell. Probable referee: Mr. Gil Evana. I ,By "FORWARD."] I Let it be at once expressed as the personal opinion of the writer that the Cardiff execu- tive have adopted a, wise strategic course in selecting eight backs and seven forwards. The Springboks have played five games in Wales, and have proved superior to the old formation on each occasion. It might well be that the method devised by Wales to com- bat the tactics of the New Zealanders will prevail against those other Colonials to- morrow. Of course, it ia giving Bo aecret away to say that the Cardiff committee quite recognised before the selection that the issue would mainly depend npon the forwards. Therefore, they have acted'heroicly in choosing only seven. But they are a grand seven. Big men, and strong men, and dashing men are they, and I, for one, shall be vastly surprised if they are outplayed by the African pack. The decision to choose the 6'even me'n whose names are given above was not arrived at without very long and serious consideration. In J. Pugsley, L. George, and E. Harding the committee had three other really fine forwards available, and there are many constant followers of the Cardiff team who will probably say that at l:ast one of them ought to have been included in the &even; but weight was the great thing which prevailed with the committee, and it could not be. As I have said, it was the intention of the Cardiff committee to pick a strong and powerful pack, and this they have succeeded in doing. ior downright hard scrimmaging I honestly think they will just a trifle more than hold their own with any eight the Colonials can place in the neld. And we may expect to see some rare manoeuvring for the advantage of the "loose head." George North- more and John Brown are adepts at this kind of thing, and if any member of the African pack can outwit them they will be clever indeed. The Home Backs u- I To-morrow the Cardiff backs will ha-re to contend with men who are perhaps a. triae faster, especially the wing three-qaarters, but the advan'tage of superior nnesse should reat with the Cardiffians. Gwyn Nicholla' preftence alone will ma.ke an enormous difference both iu attack Q.nd defeace, and he a,nd Ceoil Biggs will form a brilliant right wdng; but Biggs will have to keep a very watchful eye on StegTuann. R. A. Gibbs will ha.ve a. special mission to perform. If he can bottle up Dobbin, he will go more than haJf- way towards securing victory for hia eide. There are other thinga mapped out for him which it would be indiscreet to mention here. ) Eng!and and Other Nationatittes. I 'ine following are the teams Mr tne annual nxture, England v. Other Nationalities, which take place at Leeds to-morrow (New Year's Day):— England: Full-back, H. Gifford (Lancashire and Barrow); three-quarters, S. Johnson (Lancashire and Leigh), R. Wilson (Lanca- shire' and Broughton Bangers), J. Lomas (Cumberland and Salford), and J. Leytham (Lancashire and Wigan); halves, J. Jolley (Lancashire and Buncorn) and R. Ward (Yorkshire and Leeds); forwards. J. Bartle (Yorkshire and Halifax), J. Beetham (Lanca- shire and Broughton Rangers), A. Smith (Lancashire and Oldham), W. Jukea (York- shire and Hull), P.

Llewellyn (Wales and Leeds), J. Jenkins (Wales and Wigan), and J. Dechan (Scotland and Brad- ford); halves, J. Thomas (Wales and Wigan) and 8. James (Wales and Broughton Rangers); forwards, H.

The Marriage Prob)em I GiRLS NEED TO BE TRAtNED Why men don't want to get married" forms the subject of an interesting article from the pen of a somewhat recent bride, Mrs..Archibald 31aelcirdy, formerly Miss Olive Matvpry, in the "Lady's Realm." The need for a practical facing of the situation is obvious, for, as Mrs. Mackirdy puts it, there are to-day in the United King- dom one million more women than men, and that one fact alone constitutes a great handi- cap to love and marriage. The lot of the woman who does not marry in our country is not an enviable one (in Mrs. Mackirdy's opinion), for it often means that she is forced unequipped into the battle of life, and "no woman would choose to work for her living if she had any chance of marriage." Therefore, we find ourselves con- fronted with the problem of women eager to marry, and men. on the other hand, showing an increasing disinclination to forego the Comfort of Singte Blessedness for that joy of keeping a wife and two small children. A man with a decent record and a fair income is always eligible and welcome; but, still, th-ere is the instinct within most men of a desire at soncs* time or other to find a life companion and settle down to domesticity. Modern life has much to answer for as regards this particular social paradox. Women are unwilling to take up domestic burdens, to bring up children, and to be shut out of social life by means of poverty. A man with a moderate income, say, from -E700 to .El,000 a. 'tar, may be willing to marry, but when he is fascinated with a pretty face and its owner thinks his income ample for her amusements and so forth, he forgets that she has never had any responsibility about money or any business training whatever. Wherefore, after the 6rst glamour of roma-noe has worn on', the unhappy coupio are fain to realiso the misery of the ha-rga.in they have made. The wife does not realise I The Delight of Matnmony, simply a-nd solely because she has never been trained for her marital state. If h<*r hu&ttand is a. professional man, and must cul- tivate professional people, she grumbles tho.t they are dull, and either he gives up in- terest in his prof€<!aion or goes hia way and leaves her to go hers. while the business man who &nds the mention of business boring to his wife cannot get inteiligent sympathy and appreciation from. tho one who should be his beat compannion, a-dviser, and friend. The solution of the marriTLge problem would be best found in t<he training of a girl for marriage, just as a man is trained for his profession. If a. girl ihaa no money of her own a'he should be able to widely manage her husband's. "Those who have tasted the sweetness and independence of the simple life with true love to glorify it would instantly give their vote for a marriage of love. "But for those who cannot free themselves from the trammels of 'Society,' which re- quires much while giving little, there is but small chance of buying happiness in the modern marriage market." aaya Mrs. Mackirdy in conclusion.

COSTLY CONtES Fra-nk Chippie, of Lla,nda-fF North, ajtd William B&ugh, of RaaYT, were changed at Llandaff Police-court to-day, with trespass- ing 06 land in the occupation of Willia-m Baôsett, in search of conies. eGorge Whitlock, a gamekeeper, in the employ of the Earl of Plymouth, said that on Sunday, November 25, he saw Chappie and Ba.ugh ferretting on Mr. Bassett'a farm. They said they had no written permit. Mr. Bassett, who was in court, urged the witness to speak the truth. Inspector Nott: You must'nt interfere with the witness, Mr. Bas&ett. Chappie said that he hat] received written permission, but had. not got it with him. Mr Bas&ett: Wt)y the —— didn't you bring !it? The Clerk ea.id a.ny written permit must he produced to be of vaJue. Mr. Basaett: But I sent them a. letter. In reference to a. remark by Ch&pple, the clerk (Mr. C. H. Evans) suggested that the letter was written after the commiaaion of the alleged oSence, but to this Chippie made no rejoinder. Ba.ugh a-dmitted that he had not written permission at the d&te in question. Defendajita were fined Li and coats, offout'- teen days' imprisonment.

NO MORE XMAS BOXES The Christ.m'as box nuisa-njce wae referred to by another of the Cardiff Corpo-,ttion com- mittees thia morning.

Mr. Harp-ur: You won't s'top it otherwise. Mr. Chappell agreed that it oauld not be stopped enectively without 911ch a. t'hrea.t, and he inatamced a glaring case of toutmg from door to door by men ptirporting to be aoa.YCTigers who were not emp&oyed in. the district at all.

A DOG'S JEALOUSY A remarkable atory, arguing almost human sensibility on the part of a, dog, cornea from Bagnolet. M. and Mme. Vrain, the parents 01 a little boy of three, named Roger, were obliged to procure a. watch-dog. A friend presented them with a powerful mastiff. The brute proved to possess a savage disposition. On Saturday, wtiile little Roger was play- ing, the mother took him up in her arms and began kissiBg him. Suddenly the sulky brute, in a &t of un- oontroll&ble jealousy, boanded upon the boy and sunk his teeth in his throat. The mother's frantic cries brought a, neigh. hour to the rescue, and, seizing a revolver, he shot the savage animal dead. The boy was taken to the hospital.
