IJ11 ti e motion of Dr. D. B. HewiU. seconded by Mr. T lieeley, it was decided to g-vc effect to t-e re s. hit on. SCHOOLS AND SAINTS' DAYS. k!lowí¡g letter was received from Aroh- dewon Maitland Wood, secretary of the Chester j D oee-an Church Sohoo's" A»iscciation — 111 re- p'y to a i\'i|uest, contained in the resolution of the C'JU: ty Educaiion Authority, forwarded in yotti- .letter of the 14tli inst., I have to name the days fo lowing:—Ash Wednesday, the Wednes- day b.foie lva;ier, A'censlon Day, September 29th. St. Michael's and All Ang ls". November lsr. All Sai; ts' l)av, atyj the Dedication Ec.st val of the parish, as days of re-li510153 observance. I may also call attention to the fact that t.h;"> a.'soo atiou 1 as not asked for holidays or half- holidays on those days nor Is thewe reascn ap- patent why cn such days the children wiws" paien s approve of the r atter.dan e at service should net after #ervio? make the ftill Government t ime, have the benefit of the day' s instrudion, ;ud earn the full at?ttdancc grant for your, ?ii?(I IIIC flil ? ?,raitt for ?,otir Dr. lfoùgs(''¡(j point, d out that the requ(.t &;nt by t'c .commit!ec to the Diooosan As-oc.at'on was for days they dc-i'red to be observel as holidays in Church Schools. From the reply t-hey might take it for granted that holidays were 110 asked for on days of obligation by the Dioeesa i Assoc at'en. lIe hoped the commiti, e would nor open the door any further thin the Act of Parliament allowed and he trusted t-hey would :1"t in consonance with thor previous re- s by deelaring only wheroe parents give | their written .sanction to the-r eh.ldrcn being kept from sehool for service before süho:,l at. any church can the commiMeo give their ap- p oval to sucili a eGurs, After some discussion Dr. Hodgson moved that. as if appeared from the letter of Archdeacon Mait- latd Wood, that rho I)iocvsa.!i Church Schools' Assoeiatloii do net ask for 'holidays or lialf-lioli- days en the. days named as days of religious cb- j servance the administrative sub-ooniniittees be 1 iu'otm d that such holidays or haif-holidays arc required by as oc at on. Mr. G. B. Bak?r-Wilbraha.m said Hw C'huwh Scho Is' Affiociatioii were a-sked to name oertan day. and they had done so. Surely, the natural f-onchis on wotdd be for the committer to give those days. Professor Conner moved at, a.mondment that the days named by the association a.' days of r.'lig ous observance, w th the exception of the dedication fe.st. val, be allowed as holidays in ac- j eordance wit-h the terms and conditions in the resolution pa-sed by the i Air S. H. Sandbach suggested that in view of the present political conditions in the country the coinmitt;e should po.stpoi:e a decision of this matter for six months. Anything they mig'ht do now might be upset in the future. The Rev. T. J. Evans urged that the days p,-cifird by the association were not intended to be generally recognised, and t.hat in very few schools would the managers wish to set apart ail the days. Mr. R. T. Richardson thought the granting cf whole or half-holidays 011 the days specified might be left to the d ceret.on of the managers. All they de-ir. d was to be put on the game footing as the Roman Cat hoiks. After further discussion the amendment was carried. Tli- Pev. W. 11, Blnney moved a further amendment that all the days asked for by the ;is-r,e:aticn be granted in order that the Church school-, might have equal treatment with that accorded to the Roman Cathokca. Mr. Baker-Wilbraham seconded. Mr. R. T. Richardson, said personally he CCLild not f;ss for any further conecsson oil behalf of j the Church sclioo-s than the committee had :'t:'J\,(1. 110 Mou!d be gbd if the committed ifloitfd 2rant another day 6 an act of grace, but ??o 't.onnht the a?socia.tion had already been I t tea ted 11 he rally. The amendment, was lost. TAKING CHILDREN TO CHURCH. Tlw forowmg letter wa, received from the j Rev. P. C. Robin, correspondent of tihe Wood- I church School, near Birkenhead :—The mana- 1 gers have decided to discontinue the practice of t :!>ing the children out of school for the purpose o! giving religious instruction during school Inmis It is pc.ss ble that on one or two ooea- sious. such as Ash Wednesday and Ascension Day, an opportunity will be affcr.^d to ohildren, whose parents do not object, of voluntarily at- tending a serv.co tn ohttrch. Iiui on. stteh o\a- sVfns, care will be taken that the chillren assem- ble in school before the tune for the cloÚng of the registers. A ktl.er was also received from the corres- pondent of St. Wilfrid's Roman Catholic- Sehool, Northwkh, stating t.hat the children were nc-ver taken from the ec.hool to church. "I will be pleased to know. he added, "if the parents can- not w thdraw tlv ir c<h Idren, or rather kcopthKr c'.iildren from school (Ii) ivligious grounds timing the first hour, viz. from 9 to 10 which is t-he time for religious instruction, is not the Aoc j clear which empowers parents to be able to do 1 ili:, 0 1 will be glad if you will anv.ver this. If H'ecc.-sa<ry the parents will give a written demand to keep their children away from sehool certain specified mornings for conscience sa ke." It we.? decided to intimate fo the Rev. P. C. Robtn that t.he committee did not approve of ln\s 1 proposition thai children whexse parents did not j object might be given an opportunity of volun- tarily attending a service in ohurOh. It was pouted out t'llit on days of special religious ob- servance no c,))Il(l enii'd be for the purpose of ait. ndirg a religious service unless no lo: he sent by the parent to that cffcct. Mr. McNei 1 (Crewe) said the time that the 1 committee had spent in d seussing the quece'on of religious in>truci ion din ing the Izi-st year or two was monstrous. (Hear, hear.) | It. was decided to inform the (orrespor.dent of ihe Northwich sehool t.hat -the rights of paL'nts i%o.-c clearly defined by the I'ldece.t-:on Act. SCHOOL ATTENDANCE ON POLLING DAY. Mr. Jonn Money moved that all schools, w ii-hin tho Pari airieiiiary area be closed on polling day for the reason that (lie average '.attendance would otherwise be seriously reduced. Mr. H. T. Richardaon seconded. He thougJit tiic election would be very dèî¡'n1('ntaJ to tho average attend,imij if the sc-hc-ols were open on the polling day. The l1JoliclJ was lost. GRANTS.

It we.s decided to d fer the matter pendi: g fur- ther observat ens from the district sub-eom- mitiee. and to request the ohairman and v.co- cha'rmaii of that body to meet the Plans and Buildings Committee. KINGSLEY ENDOWED SCHOOL. At a meeting of the Run.orn Rural District by the county inspeoior and the inspector of nuisances upon the Kingsley Endowed Sehool. From the former it appeared that the sehool equipment wa-s very unsatisfactory, that no registers or records of any kind were ke.pt, and no class instruct on was given. The methods of instruction, the jrspeotor sa.t;d, were far from be. ng up to date, and in 110 sense could the level of attainments be cor- sidered as satisfying the bye-laws of tho county -tittl-The other report dealt with the de- fective ssn wry conditions of the sehool premises. Tho sub-commit tee resolved to lecommend the trustees of the sc hool th, interfering with t-h:> enolunrenls of the presetii teacher, the sehool be closed for teaching purposes. Dr. W. Hodgson, alluding to these minutes, urged that the attention of the Charity Commis- s oners d 42 c-alled to the co'.xliton of this school. It was disgraceful that a. school of such a character, both as regarded aecommodaton and the instruction g-:v:,J.) ",hellld be allowed to continue. He moved that a copy of the report- he sent to the Board of Edtietittlfc)ii, t,li&t tl-o Charity C'ommis.>:oners be asked to take such steps as th<r tiiotiglit nc-,k-ssar, j This was agreed to. NEW SCHOOL FOR HELSBY. LOCAL OPPOSITION. At a meet ng of the Plans and llllifcrngs Sub. i Committee attent on was drawn to the fact that no reply had be- ii received from toboe Ritticoi-it Urban Administrative Sub-Committee, in regard to the site for the proposed counc'l school at Helsby. It was resolved that this sub-committee 'recommends that the s te approved by the county architect for th s school be adopted, and rbe Administrative Sub-Committee requested to carry out the instructions of the Edu-ation Committee in regard thereto w t-hout further delay, so t.hat progress may be made in obta-nlng plans for tha new schools, and the work of building proceeded w' i, li. j At a meeting of the Runcorn Rural Area CoOn;" m tf'e the following resolution by the managers of the Helsby Council School was submitted: — That in view of the fact that there arc. 275 seats in the National Sohool, and 82 in the Council's S-chool, and only 232 and 75 oh idicn in attendance at such schools re-spce- t,inrely, and there is no likelihood of a.ny appreci- ab'e incr(-,is(- in the near future, and o.ho in con- 6 deration of the great increase in the rates (which at the pres nt time amount to 6s. lOd. in t.he £ ), which t.he work would entail, the County Educa- tion Committee be urgently requested to ask th? Board of Education to allow tlw provision of further school accommodation at Ileisb y to lie in abcyane? for the present." t On the motion of Dr. Hodgson it was deeded to instruct the administrative sub-committee to i take in Land the provision of the new eohool at once.

I' DENBIGHSHIRE POLICE COMMITTEE. I' Mr. Simon Jones presided over a meeting of the Denbighshire Standing Joint Committee at Den- bigh on Friday. Considerable discussion ensued with regard to the proposed public mortuary for Llangollen. It was explained that Dr. Fen wick, of Llangollen, left under his will, £ 200 to the treasurer of the Llangollen Cottage Hospital, for the purpose of building a mortuary. The trustees, with the approval of the managing committee, sub- ject to the consent of the Charity Commis- sioners, now offered the E-Oo to the Police Committee for the erection of a mortuary upon a site contiguous to the county buildings of Llan- gollen. No objection being raised the committee adopted the recommendation of the sub-committee I to obtain the consent of the Home Office to convey a piece of land of about 35 yards 01 thereabouts, free or at a purely nominal sum, to the trustees for erecting a mortuary thereon, provided the building was erected and maintained by the Llangollen Urban Counc-it without cost to the county, but under the control of the police. The Chief Constable (Major Leadbstter) reported that during the year 182 indictable offences were reported, an increase of nine; and 1.9G3 persons were proceeded against for non-indictable offences, of whom were lined. Eight hundred and ninety-seven persons were charged with drunken- ness. As regards prosecutions for non-attendance at school, the following resolution of the County Council members of the Education Committee was submitted—'That, in accordance with the recom- mendation of the Attendance and Several Purposes Committee, i" cas?' of non-attendance prosecutions after the initial stage of applying for a summons, and supporting the information on the hearing, all the steps required be taken by the police, and that the Chief Constable be instructed aecoidingly. An animated and prolonged discussion ensued and the proposal to adopt the resolution was lost, Mr. Jno. Roberts and Mr. J. Wilcoxon refusing to vote, as a protest against the action taken by the com- mittee'

ALIEN LABOUR IN CHESTER, I GERMANS SUPPLANT ENGLISH. AN OBJECT LESSON. TO THE EDITOR. Sir,—We, the under>igned, are three waiters who have been employed at an hotel in Chester at a weekly wage each of fifteen shilling*. Two of its have been in tho employ of tho Hot-A Com- pany for nine years and one of us for six and a half yearsfc No complaint ha" cycr ina(le ts ?Lo our c0nduct. Last night we received notice from the manager rhat we w'r ni?pharg?d, ami we now find that three German waiters have been employed in our p!a<c ,t a da"y of five .-hi?ift?c a week. I We wish, with great ro,speet, to bring our grievance to the notice of the directors- and share- holders of the company and also of the general public. Wo arc ad married men wiUi families, and spend our money in Chester. Suddenly we find ourselves turned adrift, on the world, and supplanted by imported German labour. We consider this a gross injustice. Surely we English waiters have a right to be pro- I tected igaiii.4 foreign labour.—We are, yours obediently, J. II DIXON. J. VINCENT. E. BUNNELL.

MR MOND S CONSISTENCY. I TO THE EDITOR. I Sir,—In the "Observer" I notice the replies of candidates to questions put to i-heni by the Chester Traders" Association. The 10th question "Will you (if elected) support an active opposition to any attempt to introduce or re-introduce a cash-on- delivery pmi; system for the United Kingdom?" If this is not. protection in a most advanced form. what is it? The need of protection for local trade has evidently been brought home to the members of the Chester Trader. Association. Yet when this question is put to the great- Free Trade champion. Mr. Alfred Moritz Mond, without the! slightest hesitation he answers "Y If this is consistency, nothing more need be said. If he had answered "No." it would no doubt have cost him the votes of the members of the Traders' Association, and yet we are to!d that Protection is wrong.—Yours, FAIR PLAY. I

POLITICS IN THE PULPIT." I TO THE EDITOR. ) Sir,—No doubt you will have noticed Pro- testant Church woman's" letter in your Radical contemporary. It was a surprise to me to see the word Church woman" signed to such a misrepre- sentation of a Protestant clergyman's sermon. The reverend gentleman spoke only as a true Church- man would who did not want to see hundreds of young lives ruined by the exclusion of religious knowledge, from their education. Protestant Churchwoman" asks if the reverend gentleman could not have attended a Liberal meeting, and there have expressed his views. Why a Liberal" rneeting ? Perhaps "Protestant Churchwoman" knows full well that if the clergyman had attended -t Lil-oeral meeting to "express his views," he could not have obtained a hearing upon a question which has been tabooed by all Liberal sjieakers during this election campaign. With regard to the latter portion of her letter and her query re the reverend gentleman's know- I ledge of his catechism, this, I think, is totally out of place. A pologising for trespassing on your valuable space, I am, sir, faithfully yours. I A ST. OSWALD'S CHURCHWOMAN. I

MR YERBURGH AND RAILWAYMEN. I HOW HE AVERTED A STRIKE. I A RAILWAYMAN'S TESTIMONY. I I TO THE EDITOR. I Sir,.—My attention has been callcd to a para- graph in Friday's Gh-c«hire Observer" to my being able to verify the fact, that Mr. H. A. Ycrburjfh was the means of bringing about the re-instatcmont of those Stockport riiiii-ayrtivii who were discharged by the L. and N.-W. Railway Company with payment of 101:;5 of wages. As I have had many inquiries from the Liberal party whether it wat, true, I take -the opportunity to state the facts. At the time that the dirimi,s took place, which extended not c-jilv Over port but all over the railway system, we as railway- { men of long- eervice knew t.hat. unless something was done to prevent what would have undoubtedly j culminated in a general strike, decided to form a deputation, of which I was secretary, to approach Mr. Ycrburgh with a view to obtain/ng his services to bring about the withdrawal of the notices and so to try and stop what would have been a great calamity cO far as- the railway workers were concerned. 1 may say that. Mr. Ycrburgh at once met u.s with great inconvenience to himself, and. after hearing the statements from myself, W. Loach, H. Underwood, W. Da vies and J. Frawr, he promised to seo what pouid be done. Mr. ) Ycrburgh had an iitira-leiv ivLilt the Chairman Lord St a! bridge, and the result was that in a few day-, these men were taken back into their old places, with payment for io-c- of time. I may also j say that. Mr. Yerburgli interceded on behalf of the firemen at Chester in regard to their wages, j and owing to his prompt action their position has been very much enhanced in regard to their wages. | I should also like to point out that Mr Ycrburgh supported the Wiinc-.?es Prokction Act, %vlic!i .s'bic? for all railway- men to give evidence before Royal Commissions, and also for deputations ryuch as was composed of to be able to make their statements without being liable to intimidation. I maintain that, in view of the cry of what Mr. Ycrburgh has done for railwaynu-n, if he had only done that noble act on behalf of t!t"Y' di- misled met!, which no doubt saved the railway- j men some thousand.- of pound. he would deserve j the thanks and votes of all right-minded railway- men, irrespective of party.—Yours faithfully, THOMAS JONES.

With two di.-«5c*iitknts it wae re- s-olved that no further exk'!L>ion sliould be made 1 of the buildings at Denbigh, and that the proper eoeirse would be to build a ,)tite .suitab'e I'pot in t-he westen rportion of the five counties in union. The five county councils i were asked for their opinion, but tho only one which hsd definitely replied was Carnarvon.hire.

Considerable discusson ensued upon the point, and in the course of it the Chairman stated that hi" view vai that the question whether there should be a chso'ution of the union or not was purposely ieft over. aJCd sa. not voted upon. Mr. J. Jones Morris said it was quite clear that the Lunacy Commissioners would not allow the overcrowding which had hitherto been per- mitted at Denbigh. It was time to look out for nw suit-able spot in the western part of the counties in union upon which to build the new asylum. Dr. LI. F.
