Pemberton, chairman ot the District Council, and o,' the classes, presided over a large and repiv -:na- tive gather ing,-The Chairman, in opening the proceedings, bade a hearty welcome to Dean Liefroy, 0. Norwich. He (Mr. Pemberton) etrongly urged the youth of Neston to realise the great importance of progressive education in these competitive days, and to take full ad- vantage of the excellent schemes prepared for them if they would not be left behind in the race of life. (Applause.) A widie range of subjects was open to them, and was so ar- ranged that'several of them could be taken in one wekk by the "tame pupil. He earnestly appealed to them to respond more heartily to the efforts that were being made on their be- half. (Applause.) Mr. Delaney, principal of Crewe Training College, considered that the benefits accruing from continued studies oould not be too highly estimated. Boys and girl,, should not be actu- ated by ideas of monetary advancement only, but if they were to appreciate the literature, geography, and art of the world, it was impera- tive to bo forward in their learning, and to acquire a, taste for education. (Applause.) Dean Let 107, of Norwich, who met with a hearty reception, congratulated the promoters of the meeting upon the excellent attendance. He noticed that the hall was filled with prize- winners and their friends, and many other persons of culture; but they must also aim to attract a larger proportion of the younger generation, for whom primarily the classes were intended, and whom they were directly desirous of benefiting. He suggested the provision of a good tea. There was nothing like a good "txi:.y-figh3" an a draw—(laughter)—.following which their guests might take kindly to some sound speeches on their behalf. If funds were lacking the "screw" should be applied to those abk to part. He considered that the Cheshire technical programme was excellent, and slow but sure progress was being made. (Applause ) If children would be successful in this ambitious age they must realise the neces- sity of placing themselves on a footing with their fellows, and learn and not to be ashamed to continue, to learn to the end of their days. (Applause.) The reins of government were largely in the hands of the working-classes, and the voice of the people could not bo ignored. Mental ability and sound and wise judgment were essential if they were to understand and grapple with the complicated questions of the day, and if the massor. were to rectify much that was now wrong they could not better equip themselves than by benefiting by the wise instruction imparted by highly-qualified teachors connected with the technical classes. (Applause.) The prize iist shewed that Neeton was well to the fore in the majority of subjects. Cookery and ambulance especially had been well attended, and a number of free scholar- ships had been secured. He thanked the Nes- ton people for the warm welcome they had ex- tended to his daughter, Lady Bates, and him •;elf. (Applause.) The Rev. J Towert, in speaking of the ad- vantages of higher education, stated that he noticed a very perceptible improvement, now as compared with twenty years ago. Referring to the prize list of that evening, he said that the value of the prizes was often much enhanced by the distributor, who, in the present in- stance. was Lady Bates, who had already shewn such a kindly interest in parochial echcmcs. (Applause.) Lady Bates next, amid much applause, pre- sented the prizes with some encouraging re- marks to the recipients. In the cxiurse of some remarks she excused herself, from making a speech on the ground that she did not care to follow the able speech of her father. Later in the evening the latter, in respond- ing to a vote of tha-nk-c, n)-ov-(I- bv the Rev. Father Thompson and ethers, humorously turned the tables-- by putting forwatd. as a p-l-ea for the great brevity of his remarks that lie. for his part, had-not the presumption to speak after his daughter. Before closing the meeting the Chairman re- ferred in feeling terms to the kxss they had sustained through, the death of Dr. John Hiddock. who had rendered such devoted ser- vice to the classes from their institution. The following is the report and prize-list: — "The clat.-es were fairly successful in the last session. About half the first year students of the session 1906-7 joined the cl asses again last version as second year students. The total number enrolled was 242, an increase of 11 on the previous year' s record and in fact it is the highest number ever recorded in the even- ing classes since their formation. Fourteen clashes were filled four did not fill and were closed. The-e were in the technical course, which embraces such Subject*, as practical draw. ing, workshop arithmetic, mensuration, build- ing construction subjects intended to be of service to youths who are apprenticed to or working at some trade. It is a matter of great regret, to the committee that these classes are net better attended. There are mariv youths in Neston who might improve their qualifications by joining the technical course, and the com- mittee venture to hope that parents and em- ployers will use their influence with them to induce them to join for the current session. The County Education Committee have tried to link up the day and evening schools bv offering free scholarships to suitable boys and girls, who join the evening schools as soon 1!' possible after leaving the day schools. Several were nominated by the h-ead teachers of the day sc hools in the district, but owing to the conditions with which the offer was accom- panied, only eeven availed themselves' of it. As a general rule the students in last session's: ,classes were younger than in previous year". The number of students who took the examina- tion of the Union of Lancashire and Cheshire Institllte-s is rather smaller than in the pre- vious year—55, a decrease of 13. Two were placed in the first class with distinction. Six- teen were placed in the first class, eight in the second class, one in the third class, fifteen s-atisfied the examiners, and thirteen failed. Thirty-three per cent, of the students were placed in the first class, which is about the same as in the previous session. The standard of examination has been raised in the interval, and the students taking the examinations are as a rule younger than in 1906-7. The examiner a- the Union of Lancashire and Cheshire In- stitutes reports: -Great credit is due to both teachfr and candidates fcr the very tidy and methodical manner in which the candidates worked. All the candidates gave evidence, by the way in which they worked, of careful training. The results were, on the whole, very satisfactory.' In the Government examination in art, four students entered one obtained 3 second in geometrical drawing, one a second lll freehand, one a second in model drawing, and one failed. All the candidates exa-mined in ambulance passed successfully:First-aid, Do roth v McGivering and Lilian Hope Bu-ihell. Nursing: Annie R. Amery, May Richardson, Gladys Oram.er Roberts, Mabel Mansfield. Medallion, Gertrude Carlisle. Free scholarships for the current session have been awarded to the students who made 90 per cent, or more of the total possible attend- ances. The committee felt that 90 per cent, is rather too high, and that in fixing it the County Education Committee have overlooked the difficulties of students in scattered districts like this, and have made no allowance for tncknees or overtime, which between them ac- count for the greater part of the irregularity of attendance. The following have obtained free scholaiships :—Herbert Ellis, 91 per cent, of possible attendances; Reginald Davies 94 per cent. Margaret L. Jellicoe, 94 per cent. Jessie Stafford, 91 per cent. The first three of these come from Wilhuton. Prize Li,-t.Co-.tiiiiet-cial arithmetic, Mar- garet L. Jell co-, 97 marks 1st claes, E.L. Book-keeping, John Wattle, 89 marks 2nd class, inter.

The committee expressed their indebtedness to Dr. Yeoman, for kindly giving his services in the ambulance class, as in previous years. They also expressed their appreciation of the ser- vices rendered to the evening school by the late Dr. Riddock, who was a ruember of the committee from the inception of the evening classes, and always interested himself in tbe students and their work.

G \LVANIZERS AT CONNAHlS I QUAY. «—^— ANNLAL CUNFERK?CE. I REPLY TO ATTACKS. I The annual conf. of galvanize is • of the North and Midland Counties' Association was hold in the Wcpre English Wesleyan School- loom, Oonnah's Quay, on Saturday afternoon. DeLe.ga/b'is representing the following ifrnis were puoscaii M?«s?rs. John Summers and Sona (Shotton and S'.alybridge), Walkers (Walsall), Ash a.nd Lacys (Greatbiidge), Tuppers (Brad- ley). Wilkins (Biudl-ey), GIùCuaways (Bradley), Adams (Ettingshall), Morgan and Williams (Mold), Jones (Ellosmorc Port), Greenway (Widnes), Stockton (Darlington and South WaJe&i, etc.—Mr Isaaii Morgan (Shotton) pro- sided, and in the course of an interesting ad- dress said that was the first time they had ha.d the pleasure of holding their annual con fer- ence- at Connah's Quay, and he hoped the out- come. would be the means of getting their union bettor- known and appreciated throughout the country. On bohaif of t'he mon employed at the Hawarden Bridge Worto he extended a moer haarty welcome to th ■ m.amy delegates who had come thcio that day. Thece confer- en<x\s weit, heikl so that all firms could be re- p:e«ntcd, aaid mien could meet together and expu'ss their unbiassed view.- as- to the best njethodis to adopt for the benefit of botli the men and mastars. (Applause.) A sho:t time ago it was doeided that Bro. Robinson and Or- btll should draw up a scheme for the purpose of Kiising a fund to enablo tlll2 workmen of the galvanizing tradie to meet iin, coufore-nce for the purpose of fixing a uniform tariff, and to discuss the various methods of working- within the different works; also to establish a Dis- puteg Board for the entire trade, with ari equal number of employers and workmen, before whom the workmfTi, through their r-epreeenta- tives, oollkl have; their grievanoee dist-ussodand remedied without resorting to a strike. (Ap- p'aus-e —Mr. J. Thorny, of Bradley, moved the following lcs::xuÛon, ",flidJ was agreed to unani- mously "That the delegates at this confer- ence- reeommoud to the men working in the galvanizing industry that they pay 3d. per week, so that a conference could be held twice a year, and each delegate to the conference' be paid 12s. 6d. per day and railway faiw, and that eight men should, be elected fiom the con- ference who would act as au emergency com- mititce that would meet as ofteffi as required, and they would be p-sifl 12s. 6d. per da.y and lailway far<x5; dispute poy 5s. per vvock; and flhould a member m-'4C-t with peixnanent. in- juries he would reee>ivx> £ 20 over and above what he could get by law. a.nd JS5 at death of a mcm-ber. "After a short discussion, the fol- lowing resolution was also carried: "That this conference of gal vanizcre recommends to the executive committer the advisability of holding mowings in tlik, galvanizing centres as speedily as pos-ible, for tit, purpose of advocating and enforcing the special fund sdiore." MASS MEPiriNG. I In tlic evening a mass metis .ing ot t no men employed at the Hawarden Bridge Works was held. and gtcat interest was taken in the pro- | ceedingH. Bro. Harry Orbed (London) pre sided. He said thai some time ago a (crwi-in official m-ido it his business to rnako a senr- rilous attack on their union in an after dinnc:- i I ctis at speech, but beyond pleasing that individual it did no harm (Applause.) He thought the eon foremoe that afternoon had been very success- fu!. m rt wottd be the means of uniting matf-or? aind men mono closely together. He did not think the galvanizing m?n irt Council's Quay were quite as attentive as they might be to their union, but ho was euro the stimulus they had leceivecf during the afternoon would have I a lasting effect. (AppWr-e.) In fi-aling with tih-L-- tinplate trade in South Wales, Mr. Or-b,41, said that- since they had been under their care they had had only one stoppage, and that through slackneiss. Their union had paid out in dispute and1 look-out pay £ 39,000, but they had gained millions in wages for their mem- );.e,is < and gained in conip^n-fation for acci- dents upwards of £ 50,000. Eariy this yearthey weire successful in getting a large number of their members o'ag;ified'\lnder the Industnal Disease' Clause of tlix? new Oomp; 'nsa.tjoji Act-, which meant th-it they were now entitled to eompc'rraaJ ion for injury to health as well as body. (Applause.) Under the Disputes Oom- mit(" difference"? .between mastees and men would be brought to one centre, whore they could settle the whole, thing, aJid e hi use 2 wou'd prove the salvation of the galvanizing tiade, and no doubt masters and IThen would .V,m e,, that it was a good one for all. Speaking of the McKinley tariff, which affected the trade of South Wales, the speaker said nwwiv em. plo^x'i^ had said it had oaua d the loss of trade, but he could assure them that it. was nothing of the sort: it frightened the masters. There was some talk of the dishonest, workman in the galvanizing tiade, which he regretted' to say was tiua in tome places. Their union hated jackeof-all-trades, and he rejoiccd to know that these men would soon be a thing of the- past; their special fund would soon put down that, and the- galvanizing trade would be put on a proper basis. A dishonest manager hated the union, hut an honest one welcomed it If some- of them opened their mouths they would make some of the masters quake- concerning the un- derhand way in which some of the work was tunnel out, and that- in a place not so very far away. That conference had sown the seed, if the men weie not decoyed away, and the in- suit would be a blessing to the men and women of Connah's Quay. (Loud applause..) Mr. Tom Robinson (district secretary, Staly bridgc) said the prospects of the galvanizeas weie. mueih brighter than they have been for the past two years. Although .work had been eo bad. in the iron ttade, the union thai he had tihe. plcnoui''e to I op resent had made steady progress, and lv- was ploafed to report that in the Midland and Northern counties' district they had during the past quarter added seven new Vn ancl!c:s to their number. Appla-use.) A conciliation scheme had been discusecd with a vi-pw to bringing about a regulation of the lats-s for the work done by the men without Tocorting to the clumsy method of the. strike or loek-out: and he felt that i:, would be to the advantage of the omp.oyer and on^>loye if eueh a conciliation scheme could be put in operation. Requests have been made by vari- ous maulers and employers that it Joint Con- ciliation }3()<1j,l'd !hould be formed of an equal number of impivycs and employers, or their officia's. to direct, and discuss troubles and grievances. In conncction with the schema t.re would also be further financial advan- tages for the members. He desired to say a word or two respecting the titte'ia-nccs of illr. E. G Co'pky. For a number of years he had thought it righ; and proper to make attacks 0:1 their union, with a viow to breaking the in: -.i away fiom their oiganisation. A..though foi two he (Mr. Robinson) had challenged his ft lit, and asked turn to givo proof of what lie feaid, lie had not, doilt- so. He s.n- hoped that he woiild now from tfcoa: pctt-y attacks on their union; which, lie could assure him, bore him no ilJ-will, but that they should meet whenever occasion lequi red, to discu-s question-? like men of common sense and g()J1t',¡"'rnen. (Hear, hear.) Iliis was the spirit in whicli they had endeavoured to carry out their work in the past with all emp'oyors with whom they had hod to deal in the past,, and this wil'1 be th-rir policy in th, fuiurc. (Ap- plause.) It was unfoitunatc that they e-hould have boe-n landed into the dispute concerning th- pac-fce^s, but he felt confident that had w:t,e; coiinsels prevailed it would never Live come about.
