Dr. Waltoid Davies held the position ne i did with regard to musical education ..P the Principality, it was wiee, from t'ht standpoint of co-ordination, that he i should be invited to confer at Swansea There was also the matter t4), eonsidei 'j that hie lKdicy throughoat the Princi- pality wortM have p?.t in other ways.

I NO TEACHERS PRESENT. Salary Question to be Thrashed Out, Various recommendations from the Higher Education Sub-Committes and fcho Stn.Ping and Schools Management j Sub-Committee in reference to indi- vidual salaries were adopted by ilic- Swansea Education Committee on Mon- I -lay. Arising from a recommendation on the question of salaries of elementary school teachers, letters were received from the i National Federation of Women Teachers and the National linion of Teachers, j The latter union complained that they | had been promised that their representa-, tives would be called in to the. discussion on the question of salaries, but this was not done. They asked that the matter; be again brought before the Staffing I Committee, when they believed sunip- lasting settlement would be effected, j Mr. Powlesland thought that it wals ) titfte that some national scheme should 1 | be ststrted. The Chairman (Councillcp W. H. f | | Miles) said he was anxious to refer the matter back hecause they had not car- ried out the arrangemont with, the i teacherfs. j I Mr. Ha.rry Griffiths did not think they could satisfactorily settle the matter ? | without getting the teachers into th-ë j sonffrancs. Mr. G. Coltvii-I asked if it not a, i J j fact that a big conference on the qties- tion had recently been held, and the Chairman said circulars of that eonfer- once would be in the hands of the coiu- mitt?c within a few days. Mr., Edward Harris supported the eug- (jestion that the matter be referred back. J Many questions would arise, as the pre- sent scales of accommodation and attend- I anoe were conflicting. It was resolved to refer the whQle; question back to the Staffing Committee. \1:> I
