Mr. Rees stated that the partition was very hard to move. being .warped, and one of the teachers in opening it «- £ ew days since had injured her hand. Mr. Rees proposed-lfcai a gallery be erected in the class-room of the 'Ca^exton Girls'School, which he thought would be a valuable acquisition to the teachers, and also that an umbrella-stand be erected in the lavatory c-f theeame school. Dr. Edwards seconded, and the proposition was carried unanioaossly, the Clerk being instrn-oted to get tenders for the work from the Board's trades- men, the work to be carried out during the holi- days. THE SCHOOL rk- C, COMMITTEE. Dr. O'Donnell the adoption • of -the minutes of the School Management Committee, as follows :-At the Sohoo). Management Committee meeting held at the -Board Room, Holton-roacl Schools, on Monday, May 15th. 1893, at .2 p.m., there were present,'Dr.t:P. J. O'Donnell (in the chair), the Rev. -J..Pri&e, Captain R. Davies. Dr. Livingstone, Dr. W..Lloyd Edwards, and Mr.* B. Lewis! The application of Mr. J. E. Rees, Barry Boys' School, was further, considered, and it was resolved that the cocamittee recommend .that a Pamphengos magic "lantern be obtained for Barry Boys' and Cadoxtca iBoys'- .Schools. Requisitions for books, apparatus, a«.d- stationery for the fol- lowing depart!ncnts -ware considered Holton- road Girls' School. HoUsii-road Infants- School, Barry Boys' Scho<d. Barry G irls' School. Resolved that the item for a tellurian: for Barry Boys' School be referred to the Visiting Committee, and report thereon. A letter was read from Miss A. M. Wood, Barry Girls'Schcol. asking the Board to exempt her school from the Scripture Examination this year, and after a eLiscussion-it^as resolved that the Barry Girls' School be examined in Scripture in the same way as the other schools. Dr. Lloyd-Edwaesk -aeccades.. Dr. O'Donnell said before the minutes were passed he should like to know if anything had been done in the master of the telluriam. The Clerk said thte .matter ;.had been referred to the Visiting Committee. The Chairman promised to see-into the matter. The minutes were ;tjhon passed, THE FOI-tilATI.GJf ,OF -WSBS3 CLASSES. The advisability of granting the application; of the Rev. W. Williams for the use of a class-room at the Holton Schools for the purpose: of holding a,, Welsh class was next considered. The Chairman said the only difficulty he could -see was the awkward precedent t.hey. would make. They would be practically leading, one of their class-rooms for the purpose of being uaed by a private individual for a private schcfcL- Of course, it was for the Board to Fay -whether-Ithey would do it or not. He had no obj faction to impersonally and he would point out that perhaps-same other ratepayer would come -with a similar -request, which they might find it difficult to deeJl. with. Dr. O'Donnell thought the take each case on its own merits. The Chairman said it wag a question aether .the Board ought not to take up this subset, (the teaching of Welsh) themselves. The Boajd.,might take the matter up, if Mr. Williams,, was a properly qualified teacher tihey might eagagehhim to teach the Board's classes. Mr. John Rees said Mr. Williams was nfvlready teaes-ing a class of infants., and upon the^pplica- tioncf a considerable number of Boaiid, who in view of the resolution pas3<&i>some- time ago, thinking it possible that the i'Bgard wouk put it in operation, and in order to qualify themselves for the position of teachers hatL-gpne into this matter with the inten&lon of learning She Weld*. language. It was at their earnest solicita- tion.that Mr. Williams had consented to teaoh-the language, and not done for the purpose of malting apeo«i5ary profit. Quite 77 percent, of the class were teachers under the Board. Mr. Rees naxt sketched the plan of work Mr. Williams proposed to carry out, and remarked that af5 Io the qualifica- tioni: of Mr. Williams to teach. Professor Powell had consented to examine the elass, and grant certificates to those who succeeded. The fleet examination weald probably take place in Decem- ber. Since the Board had passed the resolution advocating,the teaching of Welsh as a specific subject, it must- naturally follow t&at they must get teachers capable of teaching the language, lience the desire of the teachers Ls learn the language, and qualify themselves to tsach it. As a Welshman, he th.o.:ight he would be doing an in- justice his countrymen did he not advocate the teaching of their own language in their country, and he hoped to live long enough to see the desire for this grow and .multiply until the language was not only taught .R, a specific but a class sub- ject in their schools. L-e felt great interest in this matter, and he was p^ared to do what he could to further it. He begged to propose that per- mission be .grantedfMr,<William3 to use the class- room reqi-ivpgd. The Chairman suggest 2d to Mr. Rees that he should amend hi? resp^i tion that the Board grant the use of the,class-^com for three racaths," to give the; Board an opportunity of seeing whether they would take the subject up tlaem- selves. Dr. Edwards-suggested ths. this course sliowld be followed, and that, at the same time, ste'¥s should be taken, to; find out whether they could get Mr. WilliatGE as their te.a<&er. According to the new Code, anyone could be appointed the teacher of theav^iUng classes ;.tad more than that, persons over the age of 21 years inig-ht be able to earn the graait. -fie thought ihey might grant Mr. Williams' class isto the e.vfeaing classes, and the advantage t-henlyll-lould be. that they would be employing Mr. Wil^iains, and,at the same time earning the grant. Mr. Rees consented to alter his proposition as suggested. He might mention that, .-as far as Mr. Williamswasconcernsd, he wasnet taking any fixed fees' for tuition. The Rev. J. Price proposed that the .question be adjourned to a full Board meeting. Itjbvas a very important matter. per cert. of the class was other than tfceir teachers..s.nd they would have a class for tes-ehing Welsk thrust upon them. He could not agree with the manner in which the matter had been:fehr,ust upon, them. Dr. O'Donnell said they had had this matter before them at the previous meeting, and h. was down on the agenda for the present meeting. No member, therefore, could oon1.plaint,4at he had cot had proper notice of it. When matter w £ .s before the Board at the previous .meeting he sup- ported it. and he had much pleasure ig. supporting Mr. Re.es' motion now. On beina: put, Mr. Rees, Dr. Cpoanell, Dr. Livingstone voted for Mr. W. liees' mchica, which was therefore carried. »THE PAVX>TCi- IN- FRO XT OF HC>TOX SCSOOL. Tenders iGy the laying of paving hi front of the Holton schools were opened from Mr. David jLove at £ 105. and MI". James Fido at £103. Dr. O'Donnell proposed that the tas.der of M,f. Fido be accepted. Mr. Fido had been the foreman for Mr. George Ratter, who had done a large amount of the paving work for the Local Board, which had been done very satisfactorily, Mr. John Rees seconded, remarking that Mr. Fido was a very most respectable working man. The motion was carried. APPLICATIONS" FROM THE CLEns. The Clerk made application for an increase of salary. Daring the last twelvemonth the work of the Board had more than doubled itself, new schools had been built, committees fotraed, &c. HQ HAD, CQMMIECL SQTRC statistic? WHICH hç begged to submit to the -Board, shewing- the clerks of j "] other School Board's remuneration and the size of their schools :— Arats. of No. » £ Salarv. Schook. Depts. Teachers. Att.

It was felt by all the members that the salary was quite inadequate to the work done, but it was felt that the rate- payers would view with suspicion any large advanca in the salary of the clerk. Dr. Edwards thought they should not think u whether people would like what they aid, but should pay the Clerk a fair salary for the work he did. Dr. O'Donnell proposed that the Clerk's salary be increased to ;per year. Since the new Board had come into existence they had more than doubled the clerk's work. They had no reason to find fault with the work of the clerk. At the onset he had opposed Mr. Lewis's appointment as t clerk, because he had thought' that anyone not residing there could &ot"do-the work satisfactorily. He was glad to see -his -idea had not been borne out in Mr. Lewis's labours. Dr. Edwards seconded, and the proposition was" carried unanimously. IXCBEA.S.E-Cr SALARIES. Applications for increases of salaries were re- ceived from Miss James and Miss Jefferys, and as they were entitled to them the Board acceded to the applications. MISCELLANEOUS. The seal of the Board ■was affixed to the contract, for the erection of the Romilly-road School, and also to the mortgage for £ 3,090 of the same to the Public Works Loan Commissioners. A discussion took place on the present method of Slojd teaching, and ultimately the matter was i C', referred to the Sehoo-1 Management Committee. The appointment of <es-P.T.'s as follows was confirmed :—Miss Phce-be Griffiths to the Cadoxton School 'Miss Rachel Lewis to the Holton-road School and Miss Agnes Evans to the Barry In- fants' School. The tosr-porary appointment of Miss Bessie Thomas was also agreed to. Miss Sarah Evans wrctn resigning her appoint- ment at the Barry Deck- Schools. The same was accepted. A letter was read from; Mr. J. Arthur Hughes clerk to the Barry Serial Board, thanking the School Board on behalf -of his Board for granting the use of the Board-room: for their meetings. An application from Mr. David O. Davies for the loan of the Barry School .f or holding Ambulance Brigade meetings was gra-nted. A communication was read from the Teachers' Association with regard to the Sunday School treats, and a report from the architects, Messrs. -Seward and Thomas, as GO the consumption of water. The Chairman said that, one very remarkable thing in the report was theswater consumed. From Whit-Monday, the 22nd May, to the 25th, 1,750 gallons of water were used a.t the Barry Schools. On May 25th only 40 gallons were used, whilst for the next 48 hours 480 gallons were consumed, and for the next 48 hours-1-60 gallons. He had questioned Mr. Rees, who -could not account for such a difference in the ptioii, and who said no water was wasted, and he iiad come to the con- clusion that the water meter faust be wrong. Dr. O'Donnell said they had met with the same trouble at the Catholic Schools. Their bill had jumped up from 18s. 9d. te<;over £ 3. It was decided to ask the Water Company to change the meter.
