OXFORD STREET SCHOOLS TUESDAY'S CEREMONY. MEMORABLE FUNCTION. MR. EDEN'S STATEMENT. (Continued from Page 6). Vicar read letters of apology from Earl Cawdor, the Bishop of Swansea, Rev. D. Akrill Jones, Col. Wright, Lady Lyons, Col. Morgan, Messrs. Chas. Eden, W. S. De Winter, Griffith" Thomas, D. T. Jones, C. Llewellyn, John Glaebrook, C. J. Brown, and Glendinning Moxham. The Chairman expressed regret at Lord Cawdor's absence, and said they were ex cingly grat-efui to their friend, Sir Jofcn Llewelyn, who had dWle so much for Swan- sea in every way, and who had helped so generously with regard to those schools, for coming to take his lordship's place. ADDRESS BY SIR JOHN LLEWELYN. Sir John Llewelyn, responding to the cdi of the chairman, was most entliusia.stic.aliy received. He claimed that he took a very deep interest in the welfare 01 the schools and the principles they represented, but he wa.s going to. leave the details to Mr. Eden, their most able correspondent. The finan- cial position sho-wed that- they had not by any means yet arrived at the full amount of money necessary for the rebuilding of the schools, but they put tiieir principles before th-8ir pursa, and in those matters there were many other.- who were dete-rmir.cd tnat whatever amount. of money was necessary for putting their schcois into a Uroiougli u^>-to-da.te tonaiUon ehouid he provtcted. (liear. hear.) iiierc were good leasoiiis wny uie i^ihou^ should be re- built. in eduK^auoaiai matters it was ue- _siivablc., right and pro|jer, thai- vne ohiidien shoailo be ea-ucaied in wrigfvt, airy, weii- ventiiated ltkoins, whilst Uie sanitation ox tile schools should be above it-pix»acli. lie thought that had. been clone m the pieseni oasa, aiud feit that the whole of the budd- il1 reikcted a great deal of credit upon those who had wacciied the cauiitruction ox the schools, and the architect wsuo had pre- pared the plau. However, iie did not ucsire to spoaiv so mucii upon the financial am legal difiicaitius tliai had confronted tliem as upon the princapitss which actuated tliem in their decerminai-ion that tiiev see their fadiools brougiit up-to-daAe what- ever it iiiigi>L cost. (Hear, near.) Frr.-<1: of ail, thsy declined to give up tiieh" Nalaonaj tkituoois. hear.) And in that they were, he MJougni, acting on the same pa-in- ciples tiiat the Catholics, the Jews, the Vs rasltyane, a,ad o&lieaB, who behoved in danornniaUon-aj education, held to be mcst sacred and most dear. They determined, and Churchmen had determuied, that re- ligious instruction sbouJd be pailt and parcel of the education of the children of this country, and that instruc- tion should be imparted during school houis and by teacheic, in whom they believed. He had had some experience in those mat- ters. In some parte* of Wales—he did not say it wa.s general—the Bible was not read in the schools at all, and so the children sus^cted there was something wrong with the one Book that was excluded. And so they ought never to rest content until they saw tiha the teaching of the Bible and re- ligious teaching shouki be in the schools, because he wa.s afraid of secular education. He had reaison to be afraid of that. Not very long ago he read a report of the Chief of the Paris Police, who stated that in COl)- sequence of secular education, or, as he worded it, "the result of secular education in Paris was that young criminals were growing up weeds in the cracks in the pavements." And they had seen the apache class grow up in pari*. In Australia they were called ) s" and in Ixmdon they were known as oooligans. Let thein therefore sec that they did not lay them- selves' open .to the risk of a"y sucn. class as springing up in the old town, of SwarwEaa. (Hear, hear.) Sir Jolm proceeded to aay that as Church managea's they had not been fairly treated by the Swansea Education Authority, but they were determine-d to rec fair play and see that thesr children were treated on the same level as the cshjildren in other parte of the country, and also to claim the same lights for others that they claimed for themselves. As they had not been hirlytreatcd was it too much to say that they had been penalis- ed for their religious convictions? He hoped they wcu'd see in those schools that the man- agers had thoroughly justified for tlie great work they had done. In conclusion he said he had very great pleasure, and he feit the privilege A cry strongly, in declaring the scC/hoo.'B open. (Loud applause.) SPEECH BY MR. A. F. EDEN. 1.r. A. F. Ednl, who met with a very cor- dial reception, said As correspondent and one of the managers of the :vbool. 1 have been a$ked to make a short statement. 1 ara not going to enter into any detailed history of the events oi the pa-c..t five veers or more, from the 26th of September, 1904 (when the Education Act of 1908 came into force info Swansea), or to rake up any detailfe of nest controversy between the manageis of the Church Sc-hoblg and the Lrcal Education Authority of this town; but I desire to refer generally to the position which the managers have taken uo, and on account of which the heavy expenditure (to which I will refer later on) was incurred. The Education Act of 1902 placed t.he duty upon the L.E.A., "of maintaining and keeping efficient all- eic- ipentarv rclioolis within their area," and placed Church Schools, as far as secular edu- cation was concerned, under the control of the L.L.A. It also placed the duty upon managers of Church Schools of carrying out reasonablte recjuirernents of tlie L.E.A. in regard to allegations of fbo buildings, the ac- commodation of which wa- to be fixed by the latest regulations of the Board tor cli>«s- room space to be provided. Unfoi-tunately, the L.E.A. of Swansea, or rather the major- ity of that body, adopted what was known as tlie efc.h no-rate revolt policy-, and took up an attitude uf decided hostility to the Church Scliool niianagers, which resulted in a fight between the two parties which is not yet at an end. although we are now, 1 hope. gradually reaching a conclusion. The mana- gers have carried out all the requirements of the L.E.A. in regard to this school, the Christ Church Infants' School), and the t. School, end expect to have the aa- terction;? to the Parochial School also com- pleted before the summer. Onerous thœe requirement ware, the managers felt that thr?y must undertake to carry them out or give up t.he schools, and, backed up by Church people in Swansea, they decided to go at whatever cost should be found to be necessary. ■ They felt that a great deal niori was involved than the mere ques- tion of retention of the Church Schools in this town, and events have proved that in this opinion they were right. You are all aware of the successive attempts of the Government to suppress Church Schools all WOT t«he country, attempts which have rpsu-lited in several chajiges of Ministers of Education. First we had 111'. oirieii. then Mr. M-cKennn, and lastly Mr. Runci- man. Each "Minister has brought in one or more Education fill's, none of wihch have Î1&"Ome Acts. and Ave a.re still governed by the Education Act of 1902. Cndetr this Act the CommwtsiortHr (now Mr. Justice Hamil- ton). appointed by the Board of Education, reported upon the result of the inquiry held on 31st, July, 1906, that the Swansea L.E.A. had f«#leid to fulfil their duty of keeping the Church Schools efficient. The Board of Education, in spite of 1r. Hamilton's report, docided to the contrary in 1908. and the managers ohtained a mandannus against the Board of Education, and the case was tried in the Courts in July of last year. The r°fnilt was that a judgment was given in fa- vour of the rr-anageirs by three eminent judges of the High Court, najnely. tiie Lord Chief Justioc and Justices Darling and Law- rence. Against this judgment the Board of Education has appealed, and the case will shortly come before the judges of the Appeal Court- In the meantime the managers have paid over a to make up the salaries of the teachcEs in the Church Schools to the ftcaile. paid to teachers in the Council Schools. This Ù5. shortly., the history of the contro- veirsyj aod I tate this opportunity, on behalf J of the managers, to express our thanks to all those who have aided and encouraged U in the struggle. In the first place, to the Lord Bishop of the Diooese. to whose advice and counsel at most difficult times the successfal issue "is due; to the Earl Cawdor, the Mar- qllitö of Salisbury, and other members of the Hotpe of Lords, and J»rd Rolicrt Cecil, Sir Wifejn Anson, Mr. LW.tleton, and otlier members of the House of Commons, who have called the. attention of both Houses to the unfair treatment we received at the hantM of the Board of Education; to all those- who have oome to our aid financially, inclnding the members of the Church Schools Emergency Committee, whose chairman, Mr. Glynn Price, hon treasurers, CoJbnel Morgan and 1r"L. Palmer Bowien. and clerk, Mr. C. C. Ohatk. have ai^ rendered invaluable help. To the teachers, who have so Ihyal'ly stood by us during very trying times; to the "Smith Wales Daily Post," and "Western Mail. which paper's have so strenuously and ably piaced our case before the public and, lastly and not jfeast, to the National Society, for their unstinted suppoit in the legal pro- ceedings, which must have cost that society I hundreds of poun-is, We were a;ty.) fortu- nate in securing as our architects Mr. Henry BUJTOWS, of London, and Mr. Rcisscll Pea- cock, of Swansea, who have devoted much time and trouble to the work. Now, some- one may ask, "Was all this exp?raiit.ure j-ustiftabteV" We reply, "Y," looking to the principles we uphold. As far as Swan- sea itself is concerned, the vital importance cf the principle involved will be realised when the following factF are known. The Voluntary Schools provide religious instruc- tlnn. In the Council Schools the old Board School rule "that the Bible be read oiaiAy in all Board Schools" is unrepealed, but there is no religious isyllabos'; neither is there any religious instruction provided by tne Local Authority. Every attempt to obtain a reli- gious syllabus has been defeated by the Council. But. joking beyond Swansea, we see that our action has assisted the ca-iase of definite religious instruction in eleraeiitary schools all over the- country. It is unneces- sary, I hope, in addressing an audience of Church people, to lav a.ny strers upon the importance of definite religious instruction in elementary schools. We all believe iji this being given, and we alii hope that some satis- factory settlement of this controversy will be found. Personally, I am a strong advo- cate of the ";r;-ght of t-he parent to decide the character of the- religious instruction to be given to his child in the elementary schooJg." We aTe told that the parents themselves do not care about the religious education of thodr cMdmi. I do net beTieve that this is the case to any irvea-t extent, and in any event it is very important that the re- sponsibii%>r of the parents in this matter should be brought home to them. The State compels parents to bring their children to the public scJiools, and the State should therefcae see tha.t the religious instruction ohossn by the parent; should be provided to the ehildren. What the Church wants > Church teadhing for Church children. Roman. Catbolk- Caching for Roman Catholic chil- dren. Nonconformist teadhing for Noncon- f'mi\st children, and Jewish teaching for j Jewish 1 children., We as Chtirchpeople be- [ lieve m the teaching of our Church, whk-h trnds its voice in Creed and Catechism. And to turn to the financial side of the question, 'we a-j-co have our rights as ratepayers, and have, JÜ, least an equal interest in the distri- bution of those rates. — Mr. Eden proceeded to quote Breconshire re! urns, which showed that the cost per child in the National Schools was 10J per cent, less than in the Coumil Schools. He further called attenticn to a statement, printed and issued, showing the present state of Swansea Church of Eng- land School Fund. He also made an appeafl, and mentioned that the vicar of Swansea I made himself liable for the indebtedness by s-igning the contract for t1!C alteration*; for the Oxiturd-strept and ParoehiaJ Schools.

t EXCITING GLOVE CONTEST AT SWANSEA. J ROBERTS (LLANEIJL V) BEATEN BY JOHNSON (AMERICA). Billy Roberts, Llaneliy, fought Sam John- 0011, of America, for the best, of 15 two- minute rounds for £ 10 aside, at the Swaneea Athletic Club on Monday evening. Roberts' weight was list. 8 lbs., and he conceded j over two stone to his opponent Johnson got in some crashing right- hanc.ers on lioberts' face and jaw in the first and second rounds, and seemed like having an Nisy victory. Roberts fought magnifi- cently afterwards and found his feet. He beat the nigger's guard repeatedly, and sent home some terrific punclw." on the jaw and face. He kept up his advantage in the fourth round, and punished Johnson so severely that- the latter was bleeding from the eyes, nose. and mouth at the end of the round. Roberts kept the upper hand in the fifth and sixtn rounds, and was clearly the better man, and the coloured man looked clean beaten. In the seventh round Roberts I scored easily, and whilst his opponent was | covered with blood, the Llaneliy man was quite fresh a.nd showed little signs of hard light. Tbe eighth round was fo much in favour of Roberte tbat it seemed only a question of time before his opponent was beaten. Johnson accidentally hit Roberte below the belt in round No. 9, but the latter, though in pain, continued the tight und forced mat- ters in the next meeting. In Round 11 Roberts got in four terrific, punches on the jaw, which nearly finished the nigger, but when sending in a sledge hammsr upper cut with the left, Roberts had the misfortune to put his wrist out of joint, and as he oould not continue the fight was awarded to Johnson. But for this accident Roberts would have been an easy winner.. DARK IE THOMAS (NEATE) v. JACK WILLIAMS (SKEWEN). At Briton Ferry on Monday night, "Darlrie" Thomas, of Neath, and Jack Wii, liams, Skewen, met in a 15-round contest for £20 aside and a share of the gate re- ceipts. Mr. Tom Smith, Swansea, was re t'eree. At several previous meetings Thomas had proved the winner. They now went the full limit, and Wil- j liarw won on points. It was a clean fight. Thomas was well left halfway through, but recovered towards the finish. M'FARLAND ACCEPTS WELSH'S CHALLENGE. ?rlc Far land has agreed to Welch's terms, and his manager taid yesterday that if Welsh was disposed to fulfil the terms he now offers, Packy and myself will leave tor London immediately. We wanf to get Welsh for £500 aside, and for the contest to take place as soon as possible. If Welsh desires some money on the side he can be acoommod ated. It is good news thai, after so much lay- ing off Welsh has agreed to our terms. I When we came to England we demanded the N.S.C. weight, 9st. 91b.

I SCOTCH CRITICISM OF WELSH TEAM. ALLEGATIONS QurrE UNFOUNDED. The criticism levelled against tbe methods of the WeJsh team by the "Edioburgh Ihp- j patch" (which, appears iu our Sports column;, ( should not be allowed to go unnoticed (writer. ••Froelan."e">. Previous to the encounter between Scot land and Wales t-he critic said that the Gale- donians were the most representative bid" .which üoul-d be placed in the field. AVaies would be d-eeerving. of credit if they oould beat it. Aft-er securing a very conclusive victory over the cream of Scotland, it is very poor sportsmanship for this solitary Scotch critic to attack the Weh.h footballers, especially wIlen there was absolutely no jlistificatior. As everyone who witnessed the game knows, the tussle was conducted in the cleanest manne: possible and there was nc cause for complaint. Football, gen- erally. is a figomrs game, ard international football is especially sc. but no objection j should be t-a.ken to hard clean ta<ek!ins:. Every Welshman regret ted the unfortunate injury to Tenziar)t and they would have J been the first to condemn any unfair me- thods. if oocaision c-rose. It was a fortune of war that the Scottish balf was injuree and a similar a cident migrht ha-ve hapx>ere-d to Wales. It was one of the risks which have to be taken in a vrgxiror.s game like Rirsrby, whi-^h, if pia-.ved ir. a ba-lf-he^rted manner, would not be worth seeing-- :ihis Edinburgh critic is pre bo# y sere the d«>feat'd side contained six Watsonia.n-8, ID'o.iIt of whom did not do themselves justice al wil! be little heard of in future interra- tionals. The critictaai is quite undeserved and this is the only {1ti," cut of sixty or seventy present who allege# rou.gh tae-ties, so if oan verv wed he taken cum grano saaie.
