NORTH WALES COUNTIES TRAINING I COLLEGE. Î 'V THE NEW GEORGE HOSTEL AT BA);GOR OPENED BY MRS. LLOYD GEORGE. MR HERBERT LEWIS. M.P.. AND THE FUTURE OF TEACHERS. {Tdh Our Own Rep Tier). Mr5 Lioyd George formally opened the George Hostel, attached to the North Wales Counties Training College, at Ban- got, on Tuesday. The now hostel, situated on the ba:nk-n)f th eQ.Í. Straits, wfor- merly the G-eorge Hotel, one of the oldest hostelries iu the Principality. It was acqtiired by the committee of the Col- lege at a. tost of £ 10,000. and is still in progress of conversion into a hostel though 85 men students are already in residence. In the old coaching days, the hotel fre- quently had royalty among its guests, in- cluding George the Third—hence its title and t.he iiiail coaches from Holyhead to London stopped thore. In the main College building and at the hoatels in 17pper Bangor there are 201 lady students in residence. Mr Rowland Uoyd Jones, Carnarvonshire county architect, was re- sponsible for tho <if.;<igr¡ of the alterations. Mr David Lewis, Coiwyn Bay, chairman of the Management Committee of the Col- lege, presided over the opening ceremony, and was supported by Mrs Lloyd George, Mr J. Herbert L.w; ;\LP.. Parliament- ary Secretary to the Board of Education, and Principal Harris, M.A. Among others present were: Sir Henry and Lady J.ewis, the Mayor of Bangm- Alderman R. J. Willianisk. Mrs Carey Evans. Mri Herbert Lewis, Miss Rathbone, Mr Gwyneddoll Dalies, Mr R. E. Jones. Llan- beris; Mr and Mrs Glynnc Jones, Mr T. J. Williams, and Mr Cradoc Da vies. Pwli- hpli The Chairman, in his opening remarks, dealt with the inauguration of the College. In the early fifties, he said, there was a great revival _iu education ia Wales, and Sir Hugh Owen took much interest in it. The result was that a large number of what were called Brit.i..J1 schools were established throughout Wales, aid a de- mand for teacher* arose. The Rev. John Phillips, together with other? interested in education, established the Normal Col- lege at Bangor, at a cost of £ 12.000. Among those who had studied at H1" Col- lege were Sir .John Rhvs, Jesus College: Sir Marehant Williams, Mr Willis-in Jones, M.P., and Sir Henry Jones, of Glasgow. In 1909 the eon-tit nt ion of the College was altered, and the scope of its work en- larged. It came under t1w t'Ontro! of a committee representing Carnarvonshire, Anglesey. Denbighshire, and Flintshire, and quite recently Merionethshire had joined. Women were then admitted into the College. During the war when the men students were called up 'cries from the student- of No, no: they volun- teered*' He was glad of that correction. They did volunteer (cheers). The com- mittee found themselves in rather a diffi- culty daring the war, and were compelled to idiot all the hont'ds to the lady students. With the signing of the armistice the men returned, and there were applications from mor^ men, and they had to obtain addi- tional hostel accommodation. Fortun- ately they st-cured' the George Hotol, which would make an idt-al hostel. I IRS LLOYD GEORGE AND TEACH- I ING OF DOMESTIC SCIENCE. f .\Irs LJo;, i Oeorge was given J. rousing reception when she rose to declare the new hostel open. Sh? said it was a very good augury for the future of the country to find that one of the leading hotels in North Wales had been converted into a centre of learning .1.11.¡- It \3' a1;.o gratifying to lea-m that th>- hostel had been opened to give accommodation to men who hatl l'dUrnl',j home from the I war hear. hear). They would, indeed, be I ungrateful if they did not see that men who had returned from active service re- ceived every possible attention. and that their places were available for them. The Committee of the College had been very lucky to secure the hotel. They heard complaints that young women were step- ping int-o the places of men while the fatter were on the, battlefield. Of course, thl.) men must be provided for. but they might ta.ke a lesson from the committee of that College, who. while providing accommodation lor the men. saw that the women did. not suffer hear, hearL There were many wùmi;n who during the war acquired a ta-te for honcot service, and. we did not want to send them back again to the semi-idleness of pre-war days. "I -thoutd like to gay a word to the women aiu'lt-iit, proceeded Mrs Lloyd George. "I am giad the Coilegtt is traill- ing woinen ili domestic science, so that the -tudc-n t> will be able to teach young girls doruei>-t.w .lort., whi-eh I fear have been very munh neglected in the j>ast. We hear a good deal about the need for wonomy and putting an end extravagance, but it should be remembered that one of the 'r worst forms of extravagance U the neglect by mothers, and others who look after households to provide properly cooked meal. for the family. They are- rather apt to patronise the shop at the cornr and get tinned food, which i3 far less nutritious and more expensive than food cooked at home. There is" a similar tendency to run to shops for ready-made wearing appare4 which can be made at home. When these things are made at home they last much longer than shop-bought articles. I am also glad the Normal College is paying attention to rural science. The land army showed what women could do in aorirul- ture. Teachers will have bigger scope in the ftittilre in vi "W of the new legislation which the Government have framed, and they -have opportunities for moulding the mind of the nation than before, so they must be flill equipped for the task. I wish tho Normal College, its Principal, taff and students every possible success" (cheers). I GROWTH OF THE COLLEGE. I I Principal Harris stated the hcetel pro- I vides at present accommodation for ei°-ui-v resident students, a tutorial stair of vico- principal and. four lecturers, together with trousemistresis and domestic <staif. When tlu; repair.- to the outside dormitories have been completed study bedrooms for at least ten additional students will b(, available, bringing up the total accommodation for students up to 90 or more. The North aitte County CounciU took over the con- ti:ol of the College twelve years ago. The accommodation provided in the old col- !go, which was rh. u.d for residential and teaching purposes, was for 70 students. Tho number wm ridiculously inadequate to meet the demands made upon the in- stitution or the neied-t of tti- country. Within three .,par.. the County Councils, aided by grants from the Boa.rd of Edu- cation, had completed the erection of four hostels providing resident accommoda- tion for 2VO students, and at the same time transformed the old buildings into a teach- ing institution. Two of the hostels were reserved for men (of whom nearly 120 were in residence}, and two were allocated to the women students, who were ad- mitted for the first time to the College in 1910. This was the arrangement until tho outbreak of war. when the College authori- tie-, acting in the nation's interest, opened the men's iho.tels to wem-en istudents, thereby maintaining an undiminished sup- ply of trained teachers for the service of education. The demands made upon the College were always greatly in excess of ita accommodation and when the armis- tice was declared in November, 1918, all the places available in the four hostels had been booked up to July) 1320,. and to ,wines. In. th* jne"Um* it-wao necessary to make provision for the men who had claims upon the CoUegc, which the au- thorities felt bound to recogniae, and, if possible, meet. The pu-rchase of the George Hotel. was the committee's response to the demand. It did nor go more than half-way towards meeting the applications from ex-service men for admission to the College, though it went far toward a satis- fying the needs of the North Wales coihi- tiC8. in this respect. I SOUTH WALES CANDIDATES. In the oc., ie i n u T, I College to tiio County Councils it was provided that at least 20 per cent, oi tho students admitted in any one yew shall bo from outside the North Wales counties. For thia reason it had a ways been found possible to accept a proportion of candidate* from Soutii W ales and across the border, and this 6aud undoubtedly been an adrantage -tA) ail concerned—English and Wekb, -N,)rth and South. Wiir. the growth of municipal col.eges it seemed in- evitable that the -.students she-aid be drawn more and more from limited areas. T;-is was, regrettable because tae association of diverse types and natures in recreative and social intercourse and in work was itself an educative inftunce (hem. hear). it was fortunate, in this and ether respects, that the province from wxiich the Codege drew its students was a large one. and that it was likely to be still further ox- tended by the inclusion of Merioneth, but he trusted taore would always be room for South Widé" and English students (hear, hear). If it was thought that the present enlargement of the College, which brougnt tae number of students up to 280, just four times the number provided for twelve years ago. was excessive, it should be re- membered that the educational needs of the country are many times greater than they were wnen the College was estan- lished, and that the accommodation pro- vided at that and the other hostels was still far short of the demand. H I SOUND MINDS IN SOUND BODIES. Mr Herbert Lewis opened his address by congratulating thi-, upon uaving secured the George Hotel, windt in time would be converted into a charming hostel, a.nd he quite envied tne students who would reside there. From its groucds there was a giorioua view of the Monai Straits, and vbe building, after the alter-d- tiolks were completed, would be one of the finest nosteld in the country (he-ar, hear). Alter pavnig high tribute to the infec- tious enthusiasm .)Ot the late Mr William Jones, M.P., who was a student at the College, Mr Lewis stated t;.at what had been done in the -'ase of the Normal Col- lege illustrated what cott!d be done by joint '.action by different counties. No single county could have undertaken work of that kind, and in that connection he wished to speak of the energy, persist- ence and insistence "f Mr Evan R. Davies and Principal! 'Harris. He thought the situation of the College was ideal. It was true that it wa-i a miie from Bangor, but that meant (1)I11puló\ory recreation for the ?tud°nts iiaugnteir) The water of the Men- ai Straits lapped the wall surrounding the College gr, 3nd they could have ex- cellent boating. He wa.s told that the George Hotel was m formor days a groat porting house or p"r,ple who travelled through Wales from the adjacent, peninsula of England—'laughter)—on their way to Ireland. Some distinguished people nad .tayed f)f various kinds, and probably humble und obscure I I I p" hamei.tii'y Uniier-Sec!etai'i«v might have patronised the place. Pljce.i of that sore were popu- larly supposed—and this pnputar supposi- tion was much on the increase th""f> day— to be tenanted fry ghosts (laughter). Tho .students need not have the slightest daughter). He w.ta not stir., vs"iiether the cloCtric light installation would be entirely sufficient to drive them away, but he knew perfectly veil that the modern educational atmosphere would ::<>t suit them at ,,1. (renewal laughter). It invariably put t.¡em to flight. After the gre*c storm through which we had passed we .;))J.ll11 hope for n.appi-cr times and rely more upon moral force- to determine the future of civilisation. As the first and greatest act in that era they intended to previde for the future citizens of the nation facilities for the develop- ment of sound minds in sound bodies. They intended to develop latent- gifts n powers. To do that was not only right, but wise arid prudetit (hear, hear). Never had titer" a greater need for c-learcr thought and sound judgment on the part- of members ot the groat demo- cratic commumoy to which they be longed. After the great toli of the battle- field we needed more than ever, new lead- ers in science, 'ommercc, and the art,, and in various fields of social activity. Into democracy was not attained when every man and woman had a vote, but- on-y when, each of them was provided wit! reasonable opportunities for developing ouch powers as he or e-he possessed, and t,) think and to act wisely for the bendit of ihe whole community (hear, hear). The rkmiinant idt»a of education in the future must be citizenship, and in this con nee- tion tie waruily commended th-- work "t public men and women Who were too often tiie target.- of criticism. Some of them, like Miss ii&fchboue, who bote ,<n honoured name Carnarvonshire, were giving the whole of their time to public' work. They were the link between Go vernment Departments and the public They cOlld be -act, in the highest- of the term, to be doing ''work of national mportance." He thanked the committee of the College for their enterprise which had enabled them to secure that important addition to their buildings. j A DELICATE SUBJECT. I Referring to what he described as delicate subject of teachers' .-salaries, Ah LeWb ¡;Id t.ho:w were two factors -vhi:\i must be borne mmd. We were' nt tho end of a great war which had left behind it a gigantic debt-, and had pnu;¡.lt."t:j emptied the ziatil),ri treasury. In the comities, ex[w udiiure on fuiimnistry tioa was gomg Ip by ieaps and bounds. That was a factor wn:(h mwst- be carefully borne in mnd by tho* interested in cducati- On the other hand he also hoped that local authorities would also i-emviuber tha^ ;ere had been a rp-iiiirkable chaiige in the standard of value- late.y, and that the cost of living had very considerably cnhanocd. They had heard a good deai about profiteemg, but he did not think artvono would say that the teaching pro- fession had been profiteering (hear, hear). And be did not think the nation should profiteer at rhe expense of the teachers (cheer*). They at the Board of Education were doir-c; their bet to remedy the existing state of things. The Fisher grant was not alto- gether an unfamiliar expression in the teaching world. It had grown to million pounds per annum. It was one of an expanding character, and in a fev years it would amount to a sum of from seven to eigln million pounds per annum Vhear, Now the JiC0(]s of ddtrid. with low rateable yjlue" were being re- cognised. ,Wale«; instead of receiving £ 200.000 as would have been the on the basis of i>npu!ation and rateable value, would get £ 300,000, which, in a few vears. would bo increased to £ 700.0G0 There was al.>o the Suj[»erannuation Act which had enhanced prosjiects of the teacher who would retire with a pension basod on the Civil Service sctilc--half hij retiring salary upon ihe basis Qf the last five years of service. Another feature of the Superannuation Act was that a teacher was not penalised ii lie moved from one l authority to another, or from one type of i school to another They, desired to that freedom of jnovement to the teaching profession which it nerier possessed before (hear, hear). It would also secure unity 1 in the profession. They did not kko to -see any branch of the profession looking down upon any other branch as iriferior The teaching profession must be regarded j as one body. TEACHING PROFESSION NOT OVER- CROWDED. Mr Lewis ti.cn dealt; with the change.} wrought by the n«v. Education Act, and poiniod out how U ?iit 1?<? to the on I)OIlik)?d out hv?v I.,?-,Iii ?(-ij,;i to tile eiii- ers. L'n os o who were about to enter th; teaching profession can I't':4 .t.ul'ed tiiat it wail not be overcrowded, he added. There was a gi-eat oj»en door for the teaching profession, which he regarded a* the iiouiest of any (hear, hear). They all respected their spiritual pastors and masters, to vhotn they 11 "WW}{! wwe or thrice a week but with all respwet to "hem and also to members ot Partiainent. he say there was no profession which liad sucit op[>ortunities ot brmg-ng Jltd peisonaj inhue-ncc lo beat- upon the citizen;; oi the future as the teaching profession, and ior tiiat reason he hopod ture country wou'd be disj>ossed to treat them fairly in the future it was an indispensable profession, indispensable to the greatnv-w of om land, and we ought to do all we couid to r&jjo its. position and ,rn[,r,)% t, status (cheers). Addressing the students, Mr Lewi. urged them to realise their physical ^xmibihtic- and work UI to its limits. Tney must also realise their physical limitations and take care not to exceed them The nation .vps not going to toleiate slackers in the Jut ure. but it was r. silly thing to "swot" one- self silly (laughLer). He urged the Eo- glish studt-its to study the We-.sh language which could be acquired like any other language. The tame had long paswd when tiiat silly snobbery used to deprecate tfco Weteh language as if it wars some- iihuisr vastly inicrior to any other civilised tongue (hear, hear). He greatiy objected to tue way Welsh was referred to in the as the vernacular." It sav- oured of patronage (licar, hear) Mr W. G. Dodd, Llangollen, moved a vote of tkiajik, to Mrs Ltiyii '»e>>rg" and to Mr Herbert Lewis. Sir Henry Lewis, t.t seconding- remarked that part of the hostel was built ill the ciays of George ill., and was called aitci hnu. 'They, however, iid not want to perpetuate that monarch's memory be cause they had not yet succeeded in re- medying the effect-s of his policy in those days. Now we were beginning another chapter, and that hostel was not m meni ory of George ill., but of Mr" Lloyd George the F;rst (cheers and laugbtei'. The student, insistently demanded a speech from Mr E. R. Davies, the vice- prmeipal, wh> spoke of the ready way the inert adapted themselves to the uncon- pleted new hostel. They arrived last Wed- nesday. and the iatos seemed to. have con- spired to make their advent as miserable as it could &e. It was wet. dark, and cold, but profiting no doubt, by their ex periences in the trenches, they qu.ckly settled down, and at 9 a.m. next morning every one of them was at work in the class- rooms (cheers' Mrs Lloyd George, in acknowled, gi.ng the vole of thanks, wnich was foHowd by the College yoll," mentioned that the Nor- mal College was the Premier's first poli- tical home in Bangor, and he had never forgotten it. The College would always be dear to them both.

A WELSH PROVINCE. I CHOICE OF FIRST ARCHBLSHOP. ) I'xl'C.v the Morniny Post).. < Wei th Churchmen were -keenly disap- pointed that the railway strike rendered abortive the Rhyl meeting of the Govern ing Body of ti;e Church in Wales, more especially because the settlement of the question of creating a Welsh Province, apart from Canterbury, with its arch- bishop, had to be postponed. Tne post- t«)ne.ment has, however, provided all op- portunity of clearing up tHne misconcep- tions in the pub.ic mind before the final decision i'1 taken. It i;w..ll to make dear that, from the C'hureh standpoint, tho creation of a Welsh Province and the consequent selection of an Archbisnop for Wales will meet the growing sentiment of Welsh nationality, not in a base, but ltl the highest- sense. The popular idea that tne control of Canterbury ui the liait hafl meant- a re- pression of Welsh nationality is wrong. been use the functions of the Archbishop of in that matter are extreme- ty limited, .ud whatever they are they wili come to .in end, < ertainly by March next, when the Welsh Province will have been proper: constituetd. The Welsh prelates will etiit be able to attend the meetings of which are purely private gatherings for consultation, but the Deans, Archdeacons, and proctors from Wales wiil not be abie to continue to at- tend Convocation, which is a statutory hod v. Representatives of the Wftfth clergy and laity will b.. able to still attend the. Representative Church Council, unices and until the Enabling Bill is parsed. If that Bill is pa-wed then the Representative Church Coun.-il will also become a statu- tory l«sdy. and they can rro longer attend it. T, i tit the Governing Body of the Church in Wuhv. under the new constitu- tion brought about by the Welsh Church Act, they now have a parallel body for Wales. The Bishop* of the Anglican communion, at the next Lamheth meeting, will discus* the whole bearing of the ques- it is quite possible that there will be far-reaching develo^r.ente to meet the difficulties that may a'«e. FIVE ENGLISH PROVINCES I PROBABLE. T,-e truth i* that, just as there is a movement for devolution jn political mat- ters, o iliei-e i- a need and a cry for de- volution in Church affairs, and England i- probably on t!tr- eve of .-eeimg the crea- tion of four or five Provinces instead of the tw<> <>f Canterbury and \ork, and it may well be that the Bishops will vote for a great central eounc-il f°r the whole of the communion within the Britisli Isles. In H;e:i a central council the Welsh Pro- vince '.vouid take its place. It Iws freely imagined that the selection as Uic lirst \.rr.lil>isliop of halt's, will f-all upon the Bishop of St. David's, but too services of the Bishop of St. Asaph who M the s-eruor Bp ou the bench in tho whole of England and Wales—have boeu so great and conspicuous tiiat in all probability the honour and distinction of being selected the first Archbishop of the new provuK'e will {If. to his lot. The Bishop of St. Davids has, in fact, openly averted that he would not accept the office whilst his brother of St. Aeaph was on the episeopal bench. There i-, tliereforf-, no reason to doubt that the election of the Bishop of St. Asaph -as Archbishop will take place as soon fa the proper ecclesi- astical sanction for the creation of a Welsh Province 1)0, been received, aiid tiiat- will umiotibiedly be ui the very near future, for the Ai'-hbisfiop of Canterbury has al- r<tndv nnbiiclv blessed tho moveiment.
