FCOLWYN BAY TEACHERS' ASSOCIATION.
FCOLWYN BAY TEACHERS' ASSOCIATION. ..U.T. PRESIDENT AND EDUCATIONAL I DEVELOPMENT. Under the auspiccs of the Colwyn Bay and District Teachers' Association an address oil the Education Act of 1918 v,as •given at the Church Room, on Saturday afternoon, by Miss .1;0, it. Conway, M.A.'j of Liverpool, President cf the ¡. ¡¡Lonal Union of Teasers. Miss li. Hovey, tB.A., Principal of Penrhos College, presided, and was supported on the platform by Mr JOil1 Jones, Mr Simon Williams, and Mr Sellings. Mr John Jones, on behalf of the Colwyn Bay Urban Council, extended a hearty welcome to Miss Conway on the occasion of her first public appearance in Colwyn Bay, and congratulated -her upon her election as President of the National Union of Teachers after having- ten- de rod valuable services for several years oil the executivo of the Union. Her year of ll,ict,' Would, no doubt, be looked upon as a red-ic-;er year by the teaching profession on account of the passing of the Education Act and H.e Teachers' Superannuitioti Act. Those who took all interest in education in Colwyn Bay felt titat they had now for the first time at the Board of Education a gentleman who was Undoubtedly a master of his craft, and that un- der the able guidance of Mr Fisher and n s splendid lieutenant, Mr Herbert Lewis, there Was a great futuij3 for the Education Act, Which promised to revolutionise education in this country. They must admit that in Colwyn Bay facilities for education were padiy ne- glected, particularly with regard to secondary education, but there were signs that matters Were coming to a head in that direction, and that in the very near future they would get What they had been longing for and agitated fcr-a first-class secondary school. As a town in general and as a Council in-particular ,hero .Was no doubt that they were in need of stirring fcp to their responsibilities. The day was not far distant, he hoped, when Colwyn Bay v. i.i:ld deceive its charter as a borough, when II ey Would manage their own educational affairs. The Chairman expressed the hope that the provisions of the Teachers' Superannuation Act .Would not be confined to schools aided by tlov- •rnmerit grants Penrhos College and Rvdal .-Mount were at present not eligible he d- Jantagee of the Superannuation Act. (i id hot receive grants from the Government, and Were not likely to, and it was not fair that the teachers should be penalised because (hey served in those schools. They realised that tho schools which had not been bound down by red »pe, ana particularly private schools, had been lable to make, many valuable experiments in the fast, which had been of benefit to education generally. Therefore, she hoped they would fill do what they could to secure that the Su- perannuation Act should be available to all teachers who could show satisfactory proof that they were qualified as teachers and that their Schools were efficient although not receiving Government grants or restricted in any way in their line of work. j EDUCATIONAL NEEDS OF THE I COUNTRY. Miss Conway prefaced her remarks by dec'ar. ing that in England and Wales there was not that interest in education which the engaged in it felt it demanded. Never had the work of educational reconstruction been so important as It was to-day. They had to face the makmg op of a good deal of leeway which they nad lost during the war, and they could congratu- late themselves that they had in Mr Fisher an Education Minister who knew his work, and Who, having been a teacher himself, was able J 0 realise the importance of his subject. She nought this was the first time in the ustorv Of education that they had had 41. President of Ihc Board of Education who really lyiew his Vork thoroughly. There was no doubt that .}fr Fisher was fired with enthusiasm for education, and realised that this country needed all the help that it could get from education if it was to keep its place among the nations of the orld. Miss Conway proceeded to deal with the different aspects of the new Education Act., 13he observed that in England and Wales they Were particularly weak in higher education this was probably because primary education .ad not hitherto given children the advantage of being able to go from one school to another tntil they reached the university. Miss Con- JWay quoted a statement by Lord Sydenham (o Ihe effect that many difficulties during the war ad arisen through there not being enough men •at the top" with a scientific education, and Che remarked that it was realised that there lad been muddles which might have been avert- ed by those responsible having a ]ogienl and clear conception of the task which they had to t perform. They wanted more knowledge of the right Itind, and to attaiii that there must be a development of secondary and university edu- cation, which was only possible under a mea- sure such as Mr Fisher's, which would give every boy and girl in the primary schools the opportunity of educational advancement if filey had the requisite ability. The people of this country must not be content with an education- al system which did not give every boy and girl a chance of realising what was in them. Another thing they "wanted was to train tho masses of the people so that they might realise who were their best leaders. They often found that the leaders of democracy were men disap- pointed and embittered by some accident, in their lives. What they wanted as leaders of democracy were men and women who were ablo to perceive what was best for the people, and go for it unselfishly and with true love of country, realising that the people behind 'hem would follow. To get men and women educated to that point they needed more extended eda- cation for everyone. Miss Conway went on to speak of the present shortage of teachers and the advisability of offering more adequate remuneration to • lioso engaged in the scholastic profession Mr Sellings, in proposing a vote of tblnks I) Miss Hovey for presiding and Miss Conway ior her address, said the local continuation classes, of the committee of which he was a member, had been carried on under some difficulty. The children attending the classes were engaged In shops and offices during the Jay, and although they were anxious to improve themseivts they could not be expected, when their minds i.-(ril thoroughly tired, to grasp the problems and lessons to which they had to a''dr?;8)hrnt selves. It was a great feature of the new Edu- cation Act that continuation clasuos had t) be conducted during the employers' hours, and it was an important step towards giving young people the encouragement which they deserved. With regard to the teachers, if they were ex- pected to take an interest in their work they should be sufficiently paid. Mr Purdy, in seconding the motion, ron- firmed, as chairman of the Evening fCon- tinuation Ciasses Committee, the remarks of Mr Sellings. The new Education Act would be a boon not only to the children, but also the parents and the country generally. With re- spect to mistakes during the war, he agreed that some were attributable to insufficient at- tention being paid to specialised education. Re- search work in this country was absolutely in- finitesimal. Money should be allocated by the Government for research work. Miss Conway,replying to a question put by Mr Purdy, stated that compulsory continuation classes had to be held before seven o'clock, but other classes might be conducted in the even- ing. The Chairman appealed to atf present to do what they could to support the Urban Coun- cil and others in Colwyn Bay working for the welfare of the town. One of the things most needed was a secondary school for which they had been struggling for many years. Some place was also needed where young people could spend their leisure time. At present, there was no such institution except the Com- rades' Club, a small club recently formed which was a great advantage to the town. It was becoming increasingly important that boys and girls over 16 should have somewhere to go to. CoIwyn Bay had schemes in hand for tho 'u- ture, and proper provision should be made for young people after they had left school. The Comrades' Club, at which there was a daily attendance of from 120 to 200, was admirably managed, but the premises were inadequate, and public assistance should be forthcoming. Everyone should realise that it wa-s to the credit of the town as well as for the welfare of the boys and girls that something should be done in the matter, and that it should not be left to a few individuals. The police stated that the streets had been much better since the Comrades' Club was opened. On the proposal of Mr J. W. Griffiths sec- onded by Mr J. H. Roberts, Messrs John Jones and Simon Williams were thanked for attend- ing the meeting a? representatives of the Ur- ban Council.

RUTHIN'S NEW WORK-1 HOUSE…
RUTHIN'S NEW WORK- 1 HOUSE INFIRMARY. ITS FUTURE USE. J LOCAL GOVERNMENT BOARD INSPECT- I OR'S VIEWS. I The Local Government Board Inspector 'or Wales (Mr H. R. Williams) attended the meeting of the Ruthin Board of Guardians on Monday, find addressed the members on several matters of public importance. Just before the outbreak of war, a new workhouse infirmary was completed at Ruthin, but acting in -ac- cordance with the censent of the local Gov- ernment Board. it was immediately handed oier to the Red Cross Society for military pur- poses when hostilities broko out, and since then, a large number of wounded soldiers have been through it. The Chairman (Mr Henry Hughes) now askeii the Inspector's views and advice as to the future use of the infirmary. 1,i a, vci-y ,mall e-.z The Inspector said that with a very small ex- pense required in cleaning and painting the infirmary could be made into a modern, pro- perly equipped institution, and an effort should be made to induce all sick persons in the union to enter it for institutional treatment. The Chairman (Mr Henry llughee) said thai hitherto many sick people had a great objec- tion to enter the workhouse infirmary owing to tho stigma of pauperism. The Inspector said nolKidy need be anxious on that point, as the law, as it now stood had removed all the stigma of pauperism. The Chairman and Mr J. It. Simon isked whether doctors other than the Workhouse Medical Officer would bo allowed to attend their patients in the infirmary. The Inspector said this was an important mat- ter, and in some instances the effectiveness 'J! institutions had been impaired owing to the jealousies of medical men. He had heard it stated, however, that Dr. J. Medwyn nughes, the Medical Officcr of the Ruthin Union Work- house, would havo no objection in this respect. But it wa.s entirely a matter of arrangement between the Guardians and Dr. Hughes. The Tnspector having emphasised the import- ance < trained nurses in the institution, the Guardians decided to call a special meeting of the Infirmary Committee to deal with the ques- tions raised.
VISITOR DROWNED ATI BETTWSYCOED.
VISITOR DROWNED AT BETTWSYCOED. FALL JNTO THE RIVER. A tad accident occurred at Bettwsycoed on Friday afternoon. It appears that Lieut. Geoffrey Kelswall, Clydc-roa'' VVcst Didsbury, Manchester, who was spendn. a short holiday at Llandudno with his family, motored to Bettwsycoed on Friday. Attracted by the fine view of the river Conway running over the rocks behind Pontypair House, Lieut. lvelswall, decided to take a sketch of the place. He go out of the oar for the purpose, leaving Mr* Kelswall in it, and went down under Pontypair Bridge. Finding him a very long time away, Mrs Kelswall became uneasy. A search was made, and the body of the deceased was found in the rfver lying in about six feet of water. The deceased was 26 years of age. On Monday Mr J. Pentir Williams (Coroner) held an inquest, when a verdict of "Accidental death" wilt; returned.
CORWEN TO BETTWSYCOEDI RAILWAY.
CORWEN TO BETTWSYCOED I RAILWAY. A POPULAR PROJECT. I The residents in the districts adjoining the proposed line of railway which it is confidently anticipated will be laid from Corwen to Bettwsycoed in the near future arc taking great interest in the matter, and resolutions have been passed by all the important public bodies urging the authorities concerned to proceed with the project without delay. A public meeting has been held at Cerrigydruidion, which was attended by Mr Rhys Jones, of Barmouth, oil behalf of tho Ministry of Reconstruction. Great enthusiasm was shown by the large number of farmers and others present, and every support was promised. The broad-gauge system is jp^en- erally advocated in preference to the narrow- gauge, and if the former were adopted it would be possible, if occasion required, to run trains through from C-orwen to Llandudno. The idea is by no means a new one, as plans, etc., were prepared by an engineer many years ago, and the matter was then abandoned for lack of support. If the anticipated Govern- ment support is forthcoming, there is little doubt that the project will materialise.

FLINTSHIRE COUNTY-I COUNCIL.
FLINTSHIRE COUNTY I COUNCIL. THE QUEENSFERRY I FACTORY. APPEAL FOR ITS I RETENTION. (From Our Own Reporter.) I The annual meeting of the Flintshire County Council waa hold at Mold on Tuesday. Apologies for ina.Mity to be præent owing t iUne<M were received from Mr H. N. =?tZ. Mr W. R. E. Mr J. E. B. Jones, and Mr Da vies-Cooke. ELECTION OF CHAIRMAN. I Dr. J. Humphrey Williams moved the election of Aiderinaii Trevor Ryton as chairman. He said he was full of ad- miration of the manner arid method of work done for the county by Alderman Eyton. He recognised the most frion-dly association that had existed between Al- derman Trevor Eyton and the old Council, and felt perfoetly sure the same relation- ship would continue in the future with the new Council. Alderman Trevor Eyton would, ho felt Bure, me. an excellent chairman. Mr Thomag Rowlands (Labour), in seconding the proposition, said he had met Alderman Eyton on various occesions, and found him a very fair man. The chair- man had 'in arduous tak before him, but the only way to surmount difficulties was by the loyal co-operation of the Council. Mr T. C. Williams and Lord Mostyn also supported the proposition. Hia Lord- ship said he had worked with Alderman Eyton on the Council for many years, and could well endorse Dr. Williams' remarks on the remarkable way Aldorman Eyton had stuck to his work during war tjme. No man he considered had done greater service for his country and the county of Flint than Alderman Eyton. He believed he had been a member about 30 years, and had gone through éx or seven contested elections. He felt suro the party he re- presented regarded it a great honour that Mr Trevor Eyton should be chairman of the Council. The proposition was carried unanimous- Jy. Upon taking the chair Alderman Trevor Eyton said he felt almost too embarrassed for the kilid"worde used in putting his name before the Council. He could only assure them it would be his earnest endea- vour to the best of his ability to carry out the duties which would dovolvo upon him as chairman of the Council. In accepting- the Posit-ion he felt he waa incurring con- siderable responsibility, for undoubtedly during the year before them moet unu&ual and difficult problems would oome before the Council, and it would require the very best of their abilities to surmount and master them. To restore things to a peace footing would require their beat efforts. He would ask each one to give him their individual support and assistance. With that and the active help of their able Clerk (Mr Tilby) he hoped to merit the con- fidence they had rejposed in him. VICE-CHAIRMAN. I Mr Jae. W imams (Labour), fehotton, proposed that Air Chailei lewis WTilliama be elected v ice-chairman. This was seconded by Mr Joe. Cunnah (L.), and carried unanimously EX-CHAIRMAN'S SERVICES. I Tho Oh airman proposed that the best thanks of the Council be ndered to Coun- oH<tr J. E. Buc?ley Jones for the able manner he had carried out the duties of tho oh-air during the past year. Mr Buck- ley Jones had made a motst excellent and impartial chairman, his kind and courteous conduct of the business having greatly facilitated the work. Tho Vice-chairman seconded tho pro- position. which was carried. I ELECTION OF ALDERMEN. I I The voting for seven aldermen to hold I l office for six years resullted as follows:— I Messrs Trevor Eyton, 35; Thomas J. I Reney, 32] Josiah T. Morgana, 26; T. Pennant Williams, 26; Morris E. Jones I (St. Asaph), 25; H. H. Miller, O.B.E. (Queen's Ferry), 23; A. Deacon (Shotton), 23; J. H. Ellis, 12; and J. H. W7. Lee, 12. The first seven gentlemen were elected. A MESSAGE FROM COLONEL I PARRY. M.P A letter was read from Lieutenant- Colonel Parry, M.P., thanking the Coun- cil for the congratulations extended the 1-5th R.W.F. which everyone would ap- preciate. It had always been to them a ,re to know they had a place in the hearts of the men of the county. The battalion had a splendid record for ser- vice that Flintshire could be proud' of, and that reoord would rank very high when the historv of the war was written. THE QUEEN'S FERRY FACTORY. I Upon the confirmation of the report or the conference of representatives of county and local authorities on the question of pressing upon the Government the need for the maintenance of II.M. Factory at Queen's Ferry as one of the munition centres or as an industrial centre. Mr T. J. Reney said the works were being kept going- for the present, but ho hoped eoinetliinm, would be done further than that. If necessa.ry he hoped further resolutions "Would 00 passed. I)r Hiimplii-c.,v Williams said no cne would object to work, but it was too mudh to expect work to be done whether neoeq, eary or not. Tho time had arnved when the pubHc authorities of this countr should eet it? face aga' nst work whidn was not necessairy. Someona must boldly 6aY they could not afford to pay anything more. They could not press upon the Government to keep a place going for work absolutely unneoeeL-.ary. In the course of further discussion it was considered that the Government should bo pressed to indu-ce some maavufaet-ure/ to take over the works and convert them to other industries. The Clerk said that after the conference he sent copies of the resolution to local authorities and others. The local authori- ties had pasted resolutions in favour of the works beiruj maintained in some form or other. He had communicated with Sir Howard Frank, one of the heads of the Ministry of Munitions, who eaid he was not in a position to gi-vo any assurance that the factory would be permanently maintained aa a manufacturing centre, and it was impossible to give any de- finite information aa to the views on the proposed improvements of the Dee. Sir R. J. Thomas, M.P.. had written that the matter shall have his warmest support. Mr J. Philip Jones said the deputation from the Council had been told that if the river Dee could be made navigable there would be no difficulty in letting the works. Money was being paid away for abortive labour while concrete schemes were waiting to be taken in hand. The Rhyl and Gronant-road could be put in hand at once—that would be work of public utility. The munitions factory as another industrial concern would never go un less the river Doe was made navigable. He d' ?3-t?d they ask the Government not to dismantle the factory for the present, and that the Council should have the river Doe made navigable. Mr Thomas Parry said the question of the "Dee navigation was very important, and e. ery effort should be made and at once to get the matter pushed forward aa quickly as they could. Hd proposed that the Council request the Clerk to follow up tho proceedings with the view to the Government finding some means of estab- lishing the factory at Queen's Ferry, and that they press forward tho question of that ?hey i zen avigation. the river Dee navigation. The Chairman askod did the Council not thank it advisable nt a committee in order to keep in Touch. The suggestion was adopted, and the old committer was re-appointed with the addition of Messrs Davaes-Cooke, T. J. Renoy, J. Philip Jones, T. Parry. J. T. Morgans, J. E. Buckley Jones, and Jaa. Williams. With regard to the river Dee question it was decided for the benefit of new mem- bens that the Clerk should prepare a re- port on previous prooeedinga m connec- tion therewith*

COAL COMMISSION. I THREE REPORTS. I REDUCED HOURS AND MORE PAY. I THE QUESTION OF I NATIONALISATION. The interim report of the Coal Industry Comipilssio.a on the wages and hours de mandfa of the miners was presented 'to the Government yesterday, and in the House of Commons last night Mr Bonar 1M" announced the Government' s policy. lie Commission's report consists oi three separate reports—-by Mr Jusiieo Sankey and the three mernber-> represent- ing the general interests of employers, by tlik) three mmeowners' representatives, and by the six miners' and Labour repre- sentatives. The recommendations of the three re- ports may be summarised as follows:— CHAIRMAN'S PARTY.

NATIONALISATION.

Further, the Chairman's party declares that she millir must have a voice in tlw direction of the industry.
