CORRESPONDENCE. "SCHOOL BOARD JOBBERY." TO THE EDITOR OF THE SOUTH WALES STAR. SIR,-You have done good service in calling public attention to what may Ù8 termed a legal scandal. While endorsing your leaders re the ap- pointment of a County-court judge for that part of the Principality which is essentially Welsh, you would, sir. llLV0 discharged a public duty by using your vigorous pen to expose what appears to be another jobbery in connection with the recent appointment of a hsadmaster for our new schools at Holton. In calling attention to this matter of grave im- portance, I wish to make it clear that I am not prompted by any spirit of malice or envy, as my respect for the several members of the Board, and also appreciation of the past services of the gentle- men appointed are second to none in the district. I maintain, however, that parents should have the best education possible given to their children, and also that ratepayers whose money the Board manage are entitled to the greatest efficiency for the price paid. Your contemporary seems to be satisfied, and even jubilant at the selection for the various posts, giving full records and merits of each successful aspirant while the others are passed by unnoticed and ignored. The fact that about 300 applications were received proved that the applicants themselves who had taken the trouble to forward with each application testi- monials, ifcc. believed that the Barry (U.D.) School Boaxd would do justice, and consider each case on its personal merits. Was this done ? I leave others to judge. Amongst the numerous applications there was one, to my knowledge, from a person who had passed his full B.A. at the London University, First Class in every division. In addition to this, he had also passed an examination in Divinity (which must be of great help in Scriptural subjects, which the Board may think fit to teach at the expense of the ratepayers). He held also advanced certificates in botany, chemistry, physiology, physiography, and wais a medallist, with First Class Honours, in agriculture, and also in hygiene. The above are some of the qualifications" of an applicant who, according to the members of the Board, was not, in their opinion, as compared with others, worthy of being the head teacher at our new Holton Schools. In addition to this, he was a Welshman who could take up a Welsh subject which is to-day (thanks be to Dan Isaac Davies and others) incJuded in the Educational Code. He was also a total-abstainer, and a man bearing excellent Christian character. His name had been parti- cularlv mentioned to Lord Cranbrook and Sir Hart-Dyke, the president and vice-president of the Council. If such qualities as those mentioned are objectionable to the members of our Board, it will only be fairness on their part to stipulate such in their next advertisment for teachers, that appli- cants may known what to expect from the mem- bers of the Cadoxton and Barry School Board. Until this matter is cleared up the appointment must be considered as a piece of jobbery, which the working men of the district and others will remember for some time to come.—Yours. &c., NOT AX ASPIRANT. -c- THE BARRY DISTRICT FOOTBALL CLUB. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SOUTH WALES STAR. SIR,Could any of your numerous readers inform me through the medium of your columns, why the committee of the District Football Club still persist to choose outsiders for their matches when there are paying members equally as good (if not better) who are anxious to play, but who are never afforded the chance. This is certainly very unfair, and I trust to see it remedied ere long.—Yours, fcc., LOVER OF JUSTICE. THEODORE DODD. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SOUTH WALES STAR." SIR,—Will you allow me to state that I am not the writer of the Open Letter" in your paper of October KOth, signed" Theodore Dodd," nor of any z;1 other letters in your paper so signed. The only letters which I have ever written to any paper published in the Principality were on the subject of Crown Lands." and then I signed my name, as I do now, yours, occ., J. THEODORE DODD. 20, Old Buildings. Lincoln's Inn. November 11th, 1891. THE TEMPERANCE PARTY. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SOUTH WALES STAR. SIR.—Our attention has been called to a letter in your contemporary last week regarding the legal expenses incurred in opposing licences in Barry on behalf of the Temperanee party. We cannot but confess that the writer is, to some extent, correct, and that some of those who signed the petition against the licences asked for, and who were forward in arranging to be legally repre- I sented. have proved not so willing to share the < inevitable expenses. Some genctlemen have sub- j scribed most liberally, others have as yet offered < nothing. We do not think that it ought to be necessary for us to go round begging to these gentlemen, but would take this opportunity of re- minding them that either of us are ready to receive subscriptions, and to remind those who have already promised that it is time their subscriptions were paid in. But. in conclusion, we are right in stating that the Temperance party will be ready next year to oppose any new licences which may n be asked for, and which in their opinion would be .injurious to the town at large.—T\ e are, &c., « J. J. MOON, Mavfield. Barry. ] W. B. WHALL, Windsor-road, Barry. i Barry, Nov. 5th, 1891. s THE ESTABLISHED CHURCH AT BARRY. 'TO THE EDITOR OF THE SOUTH WALES STAR. giR —Kindly allow lilt a small space in which to .defend the Established Church at Barry against the malicious and unchristianlike attack levelled at it in your last week's issue. There is about as much difference between the whole article and positive falsehood as there is between Tweedledum and Tweedledee. as Mr. Stead would say. In the first place, he (the writer) says that the morning service was cold and cheerless, and that if those circumstances were allowed to continue through the winter, it cannot be a matter for wonder if Church people betake themselves to the more com- fortable places of worship and the brighter (?) services of their Nonconforming brethren." If he is really a Churchman—as he gives us to under- stand—then the above paragraph shows exactly how staunch he is, and how manfully he attempts to convert a mountain into a mole-hill for the express benefit C) of the Church he which he •belongs. That the church was cold and cheerless is altogether misleading, for no place can be eiy cold with a heating apparatus, nor very cheerless to one who goes to worship and to glorify his God. (Evidentlv. the person in question has no sympathy with such an one.) The recent bazaar is ample :proof of its flourishing conditions but, of course, like everything else, there is room for improve- ment as regards lights, &c.; and we should be ex- tremely obliged to this writer for so kindly open- ing our eyes to the existing state of affairs. He is our outward conscience, and preaches to us all, admonishing that we should dress fairly for our end. Thus may we gather money from the weed, and make a moral of the devil himself." In the same article the writer designates the catechising of children by an able scholar of nearly half a century's experience as being li half-and- half." I wonder could this pseudo-critic do better.' Doubtless, he thinks so, for" fools have an abuadance of vanity.' „ His other references regarding the collections for the lighting of the Church are as false as they .are envious. In fact, the whole of his letter partakes of the same nature, being doubt- ful truths got up to resemble positive faces. Surely." says he, we are not to have a repetition of the Rumney scandal here!' How apparent it is that the wish was father to the thought. Thank Heaven this envious attempt to slander a spotless reputation has failed miserably; for the Rev. Canon Alien and his worthy colleague are too well beloved and respected by their parishioners for such a thought to be entertained for one moment. Such cowardly designs are repulsive in the ex- treme. an I fervently hope, dear Mr. Editor, that in .future the writer of that article will presume to Jkeep his pen from lying-—I am, fcc. PLATO. .Barr! COMPLAINTS AND WANTS OF GARW VALLEY. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SOUTH WALES STAR. SIlL-Kindly allow me a small space in your lualuable and impartial paper. There are many ways of killing a dog without hanging him. so there is many a way of adver- -tising without paying for same. I am struck at -the novel way the organising teacher of L. S. B. has of advertising himself in your lnper, and I do feel inclined, Mr. Elitor, to try the experiment ■ myself. I notice in your paper from time to time com- plaints as to our local representatives. I must say one thing about them in this valley, they always have th; courage of voting according to their own way of thinking ? No fear, they would rather keep away than vote to please anybody else but themselves. We will take it for granted that there is room to complain. Who elected them ?—rate- payers (not Bryncethin). Before elected were they questioned on the different subjects connected with the welfare of the Valley and its inhabitants, such as building, drainage, road-making, finance, and emptying a poor man's pocket ? I am afraid not. Why complain then Before voting for any person to have a seat on any of the Local Boards every ratepayer should satisfy himself for whom he is voting, and what is the candidate prepared to do for his vote and to ascertain his knowledge on different subjects, such as the above-mentioned. Then after he is elected, if he does not come up to his promises, let him know it, and a meeting of the ratepayers should be called to sign his death- warrant. Mind these lit,le points, fellow-electors, at the coming elections vote for those who will look after your health and your pockets as far as practicable. How will the Ogmorc and Garw rates compare with other districts ? Look into these matters before the election time. The Llangeinor Stables are not improving in reputation. The horse Attendance has taken to kicking, the last trial or two, and gave a nasty cut to his jockey at the Asylum Post." I am told this horse will give the trainer some trouble before the next big race. Also the horsey" Nant." has gone lame, and will not get so much exercise in future, especially on Monday mornings. All the jockeys will get a rough time of it now for a bit, and the owners intend dismissing some of them at the end of the season, owing to their bad mounts, and some of the horses will have to be turned to the stud unless they will shortly im- prove on the course. I was at the eisteddfod held at Pontypridd yes- terday, Mr. Editor, and if you were to see our Twm running out Pan oedd cor John, fy nghefnder yn canu," you would be sure to believe there was something shaky somewhere. I should be glad if some of our colliery managers would see it worth their while to give John the Baptist Jobbin Bwyso "-he is a jolly fellow, especially from home. Now, you good Samaritans, take the hint.-I am, yours kc., RADICAL. Pontyrhyl, Nov. 3. —♦ LLANGEINOR SCHOOL BOARD AND SCRIP- TURAL TEACHING. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SOUTH WALES STAR. SIR,—After the warning which I sent the rate- payers of the Garw Valley through your valuable paper some time ago, I surely thought that public meetings would have been called in all parts of the Valley. I notice that the people of Blaengarw held a public meeting, and that an unanimous vote was passed hostile to the proposal of the Board. From that place the two members carried the feeling of the voters and represented them in a straightforward manner on this important question. But, alas for us at Pontycymmer what do our members care for our views ? They say in their actions, Who are the ratepayers that we should hearken unto their voice V But let them beware lest the next election prove to be a vei itable Red Sea to overwhelm them and their chairman. As to the Chairman, well, the less said the better. He may face the electors." Gladstone faced Newark, John Bright faced Manchester, and the Chairman may also face the Garw electors but if he does, it will not be as an advocate of the voluntary principle and religious equality, not as a true Liberal, who will do unto others as he wishes to be done by," but as a mere imitation of an aristocratic London School Board. If I am not greatly mistaken, this resolution passed by his help will induce the Garw voters to cause him to remember this event at the next election. Our veteran Chairman rushed heedlessly to battle without consulting us, and adduced the most paltry and flimsy arguments ever used. One fact is very evident, that our Chairman has yet to learn the A B C of the principles of Liberalism. Now a word as to Mr. James Rees. Perhaps I had better leave him to the tender mercies of the electorate, as I expect he will find a large number of the voters neutral as far as he is concerned." His conduct is really beyond explanation. He contented himself by saying that he i: fought hard" against the question four years ago, and now could afford to remain neutral on one of the most important questions that could ever come before tr e Board. I cannot conclude without according a word of praiee to the members at Blaengarw. They fought well and bravely, for they had their voters in thorough sympathy with them. It is, however, a great pity that they were not a little more con- versant with some of the tactics of the Irish mem- bers so that they could obstruct the meeting, and prevent such a retrogressive resolution from stain- ing the minute book of the Llangeinor School Board. These are the sentiments of Pontycymmer. CARWR CYSSONDEB. THE COUNTY COUNCIL ELECTION. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SOUTH WALES STAR. SIR,—Under the heading of Tonypandy" in your last issue, I am reported as a likely Unionist, candidate for the next County Council election.. Please have the above corrected in your next issue, as I am neither an Unionist nor a candidate for the next County Council election.—Yours respect- fully, W. PRICHARD. Clydach Vale, near Pontypridd, November 10th, 1891. THE OFFICIALS OF THE OGMORE AND GARW LOCAL BOARD. TO THE EDITOR' OF THE SOUTH WALES STAR." SIR,—I must have another word or two with Lousin and Ratepayer in reference to our Local Board officials. Lousin says he finds no fault with the chairman, and that he is in every sense of the word a gentleman. We are all agreed on that point. He also says thau he has nothing personally to say against the surveyor, but we can see through his pretence, his real ill- feeling towards these gentlemen. He says he does not object to the surveyor having assistants as long as the ratepayers do not pay them. Next time the Board meets it will be better to propose that the surveyor should pay them out of his own pocket, and then possibly Lousin will be satisfied. Then he complains that the surveyor does not devote his whole time to the Board." I should like to knew how many hours does he count as a fair day's work. If the surveyor after hav- ing done fourteen or fifteen hours of his ordinary work feels inclined to 00 a poor man a kindness, I think any man with common sense would say nothing against that, and I feel sure that the poor people whose plans he has drawn for nothing, are very proud to have such a man in our midst. And now for the Ogmore ratepayer. He is surprised that I should have nothing to say against the Ogmore and Garw people. I can assure yon, sir, that I have paid more rates and taxes in Llangeinor parish than ever Ratepayer did, for I don't believe he has as yet paid a farthing, nor is likely to for a while. He says also that the majority of the ratepayers are not satisfied with the conduct of the members of the Board. Sure-y the members will rest un- easy with this threat from such a personage hanging over them. '-Ratepayer" reminds me of the man who held a bone to his dog in one hand, and a knife in the other to kill him. Ratepayer wishes to thank our respected chairman for his generosity, and on the other hand seeks to stab I him in the back by insinuating that he wishes to repay himself for his generosity towards the Ogmore people by taking t&e common from them. Allow me to set him right upon one other point. I am not an officer of the Local Board, nor do I crave for any such post. I hope your two corres- pondents will accept these remarks in as good a spirit as they are given by the BRYNCETHIN RATEPAYER.
BARRY YOUNG MEN'S CHRISTIAN…
BARRY YOUNG MEN'S CHRISTIAN ASSOCIATION. ANNUAL MEETING AT THE PUBLIC-HALL. On Monday evening last the annual meeting of y 11 the above association was held at the Public-hall. The attendance was rather meagre owing to the unpropitious state of the weather. The meeting was presided over by Alderman John Cory, J.P., Porthkerry House, who gave a very appropriate address at the outset. Mr. Thomas, the secretary, afterwards read the report, setting forth the objects of the association, and in conclusion he on behaif of the members hoped that the association would o-o on prosperously. Coming to the financial position Mr. Thomas stated they were in a debt of k20 14s. Id., which he hoped would soon be ex- tinguished.—Mr. Cory afterwards addressed the meeting, and in the course of his address said he was pleased to be present at the meeting, as he took a deep interest in the Young Men's Christian Association. Mr. Cory cited several quotations from periodicals, the gist of which went to show how much good these associations had done and, in conclusion, he hoped they would con- tinue in the good cause, notwithstanding the difficulties they were in, as he felt sure these would shortly be overcome.-Letters of apologies from various persons were read, amongst whom were the Rev. J. H. Stowell. M.A., Mr. Bennett, Mr. George Hughes (from the Young Men's Christian Associa- tion, Cardiff), Rev. Canon Allen, M.A. Mr. W. Baker and Mr. W. Pratt, solicitor, Newport, also addressed the meeting. Miss Jones and Miss Williams sang suitable solos. The choir also sang several choruses in a praiseworthy manner. Miss A. J. Lewis presided at the piano.-A vote of thanks was given to Messrs. Baker and Pratt for their attendance at the meeting, and the proceed- ings were closed by the Rev. J. Honey offering prayer, after which the choir sang When the mists have rolled in splendour." A good collection was made at the close of the meeting towards de- fraying the expenses.
BRIDCtEND LOCAL BOARD.
BRIDCtEND LOCAL BOARD. THE BOARD AND THEIR ADVERTISEMENTS. The usual monthly meeting of this Board was held at the Board-room on Tuesday, when there were present—Mr. LI. Wallington (chairman), Messrs. W. Powell, Edwin Price. W. M. Richards, E. Rich, W. McGaul, W. Francis, Evan Williams (surveyor), and W. Stubbs (the clerk's deputy). SURVEYOR'S REPORT. The Surveyor's report was read, stating that he still found that Mr. T. Rowe had not connected the sewers at Xewtown to the main drain, and he had written him stating that if it was not attended to at once he would undertake the work and charge him with the amount.—It was decided that he commence with the work in a. week's time unless Mr. Rowe had done so.—A complaint was laid against Mr. George James and Mr. Phillip Llewellyn that they had not complied with the Board's bye-laws in giving proper notice that their houses were about to be occupied for the first time after completion.-It was decided that the sur- veyor give notice and take the necessary proceed- ings.-The County Surveyor could give the Board no information regarding new footpaths at present, but the County Council had allowed the sum of £ 48 6s. in respect of the footpaths at Park-street, Coity-street. and Ewennv-road, and he (the sur- veyor) suggested that 100 tons of limestone chip- pings be procured at once. The County Council had passed a resolution to contribute £ 100 towards a fence along the old mill dam at the side of the Brewery-road, provided the Board made a suitable pathway and maintained it.—It was decided that 50 tons of lime-stone chippinps be purchased.- Mr. Edwin Price seconded.—Plans of two villas for Mr. W. Francis (Coity-road) were ordered to be passed, besides two back-kitchens in Meadow- street, and alterations to a building in Adare- street. MISCELLANEOUS. Attention was called to the exposed position of the urinal near the Town Hall, and it was decided that a screen be erected at the place, not to cost more than £ 2 10s. or £2 15s., the same to be 7ft. long by 7ft. high.—Mr. W. R. Randall wrote ask- ing the Board to perform their duty regarding the lighting of the West File-road, and leading to his house especially since he had noticed it in a local contemporary's report that the recommendation of the committee to do so was passed.—Mr. Roch Read that again, please ?—The Chairman having read, said it was incorrect in the paper referred to that the committee had decided the matter.—It was ultimately resolved that the matter be re- considered at the time of making the next esti- mate.-The Bridgend Gas and Water Company wrote stating that it would cost about £ 35 to lay the main and service pipes to the houses in Cow- bridge-road, and they (the company) were per- fectly willing to do this.—The Surveyor was instructed to see the parties interested about it in order to bring about the arrangement.—The Gas Sub-committee had not yet met the Gas Company, and now the name of Mr. W. Powell was struck out. and'that of Mr. McGaul placed instead.-The Surveyor promised to see to the state of the road near the Coity-brook. A DISQUALIFIED MEMBER, The Chairman said it had occurred to him that one of the members of the Board (Mr. George J Bevan) had disqualified himself by non-attend- ance at the Board meetings for over six months, and therefore he brought the matter before the Board.—It was decided that the matter be left in abeyance, for the electors to elect a person at the next election. THE BOARD AND THEIR ADVERTISEMENTS. Mr. W. Powell said he had a complaint to make with regard to the advertisements of the Board being sent out of the town, which, it was thought, was unfair to the ratepayers. He did not know whether it was so, but he had received some com- plaints. and he did not know whither the Board had given any authority or instructions in that respect. It appeared to him that those news- papers who had offices in the town should receive the advertisements of the Board. He referred now to the advertisement for the cemetery notices. It was supposed to have been put in a local paper, but he had been told it was in the South If ale* Star. Mr. Edwin Price. J.P. I cannot call the Star a local paper. It is not printed here. Also, at the time of the last election I notice that the voting papers were printed at tht Sta r Offices, at Barry. I think I will give notice of motion that all adver- tisements and printing should be done in the town. Mr. W. M. Richards said he certainly thought ¡ that other local papers should be included, and a little bit nfore printing done there. With regard to this advertisement, he did not know that it appeared in any other paper. It appears that no other paper had it. The Chairman I know nothing whatever of it. As to the matter of printing the voting papers, be knew the Star charged the cheapest by t 1. Mr. Price Then, again, there are other printers in the town besides the newspaper offices, and I think they should have their sharo. Mr. M'vlaul was under the impression that they were. With regard to the other matter, it was the question whether the Star is not a local paper. Mr. W. M. Richards There is no dbubt that it must appear in a local paper. Mr. W. Francis The Star is circulating in the district locally. Mr. E. Price The TI 'extern Mail, then, is a local paper in the same way. Mr. W. Francis Just so but the Chronicle was printed away till recently. Mr. W. M. Richards said the matter of printing was submitted to the chairman, as returning officer of the last election. The Chairman said the clerk obtained the tenders from the three places. Mr. Powell asked if the deputy clerk could give any information on the matter, but he could not give it. Mr. Powell moved that it be inserted in the other papers if necessary. Mr. Price deemed it necessary. Mr. Richards said, supposing the question was raised by the Local Government Board Inspector, and, if the Star is not considered a local paper, what they had done would be of no avail. Mr. Powell: Suppose he said the Star is not a local paper? Mr. W. M. Richards We must take his opinion. The resolution was then put to the meeting, and was carried amid general comment and irrelevant talk.
A MAN KILLED AT TOXDU.
A MAN KILLED AT TOXDU. THE DANGER OF DARK SIDINGS. On Thursday in last week Mr. T. Stockwood (coroner) held at enquiry at the Llynvi Arms, Tondu, respecting the death of George Gale, an under-shunter in the employ of the Great Western Railway, on the 4th inst., by being run, ever on the railway. Mr. W. W. Richards was the-foreman of a respectable jury.-Evan John,. 4,. West-street. Aberkenfig. a shunter, said he believed deceased was ID years of age. He last saw him alive about 6.45 the previous evening at the Bragden Siding, where he was engaged in shunting some trucks from the main. line in order to let the passenger train pass. He subsequently went to the train to take the tail lamp off, out of witness's sight. 8 Witness found him dead between the rails a few minutes afterwards. Witness. believed deceased? went to take off the lamp whilst the train was ia motion. and had fallen undezuiueath the wagons.- — Richard Kandcock, signalmanu detailed a lengthy instruction to the deceased,, which he had given,, in order to dispose of the traffic, and told him tltere was only ten minutes' time, before the passenger train was due. The engine not being of sufficient power, more work was- entailed upon deceased before clearing the main. line.-The Corone? here criticised the amount of work to be accomplished by deceased in so short a time, besides not having sufficient engine power to perform it expeditiously. -By the Jury There were no lights at the siding, except what was given by the iiand lamp carried by deceased. After the passenger train had passed, and the train they were engaged on had removed out, witness was called to where deceased by dead, and found two lamps on the ground near, which were not alight.—William Lewis, engine-driver, was also called as to receiv- ing signals to shunt into the siding, but ho did not know from whom.-The Coroner, in summing up, said it may not appear to them that there was any neglect likely to lead to criminal conse- quences, but they might say if they thought there was need for additional precautions. There was no doubt, the man was over-worked, and as to the multiplicity of instructions which the signalman gave, it was more than a man of ordinary intelli- gence could comprehend and carry out in the time given him. In the hurry of the moment, it was likely that deceased had not sufficient time to do his work, and went to take off the t'ul lamp before the train had stopped, and fell down and was killed,—The jury considered their verdict in private, and decided that deceased had met with his death accidentally. A rider was added, to the effect that fixed lights should be placed and main- tained at all railway sidings where shunting takes place in the dark.—The Coroner said he would send the recommendation to the Board of Trade.
COWBRIDGE FARMERS CLUB.
COWBRIDGE FARMERS CLUB. A special general meeting of this club was held at the near Hotel, Cowbridge, on Tuesday after- noon last, when there was a fair number of agri- culturists present, among whom we observed Mr. J. S. Gibson (chairman), Colonel Tyler, Mr. Lewis Jenkins (Mayor of Ccwbridge), &c., &c. A com- mittee meeting of the club was held previously to decide upon judges, &c., for the next fat stock show.—The Rev. W. Jenkins (Llanmihangel) then read his paper on "Elementary teaching on the treatment of stock," in the course of which he treated at the outset the necessity of technical education in farming matters. The Government perceived the importance of technical edacation, alfd therefore encouraged it, for the purpose of developing every branch of industry. They were not to suppose that the Government had ex- hausted the development of this principle. Apart from that specific instruction, elementary teaching must be given in elementary schools. After treating shortly on the usefulness of education in elementary schools, the paper went on to state that agriculture was now recognised by the Edu- cation Department as a specific subject, but the Government could make the elementary teaching more comprehensible in the case of farming know- ledge. Schools approached very near to the object he had in view by teaching object lessons-on animals to infant classes. Models chiefly used were those of the three domestic animals. But what he advocated was procuring models of useful animals in agricultural pursuits, and explaining how to use proper care with them. If they over- worked a horse it became depreciated in value. Anyone could tell them that. but few had the idea of proper care. He then lengthily described how the method whereby elementary teaching in the case of animals may be carried out. He advocated chiefly the educa- tion in the management of a horse as a lesson; also a cow, and the necessity for the observance of cleaning the cow's t:t before milking, and other- wise observing methods of cleanliness. He asked, in conclusion, what body they should refer to in order to further any such system to be carried out in the future. He proposed a resolution as fol- lows ;— That the members of the Cowbridge Farmers' Club, being of opinion that technical education in the direc- tion of agriculture is a very good subject at elemen- tary schools, respectfully ask the Education Depart- ment to facilitate the means of procuring model's of domestic animals-for elementary teaching in the treat- ment of farming- pinimals, for the school managers to have it taught. The Chairman ruled the resolution out of order, inasmuch as no notice of motion had be( n given.— Colonel Tyler proposed a vote of thanks to the reader of the paper, and shortly dwelt upon the advantageous teaching of caring for animals.—Mr. Rees Thomas (Bovertoa Court) seconded, and ulti- mately it was carried..
