Aberystwyth Guardians. ABUSE OF UNEMPLOYMENT PAYMENT. STRONG PROTEST. The annual meeting of the Aberyst- wyth Board of Guardians was held on Monday. There were present Mrs. Doughton, Mrs. James, Mrs. Davies, Messrs. Edward Llewellin, J. E. Griffiths, Edwin Morris, John Morgan, Hugh Hughes, Griffith Ellis (Aberystwyth), the Rev. David Jones and Mr. John Roberts (Llanbad- arn), Messrs. E. J. Evans (Cnwcy-barcut), J. G., Stephens (Llancynfelin), Daniel LToyd (Llany- chaiarn), W. Jones and W. T. Lewis (Borth), T. Oliver Jones (Devil's Bridge), W. Thomas (Parcel Canol), D W. Lewis (Lanilar), LI. J. Lewis (Erwbarfe), J. R. Hughes (Bow Street), Richard Evans and Abram James (Trefeirig), W. B.

Llewellin at the early part of the war was elected chair. man but joining the army he was away on service practically all the time. In the circum- stances it would be well to elect Captain Llew- ellin again.—Mr. Hugh Hughes moved that Capt Llewellin be elected.—Mr E. J. Evans seconded, and it was carried1!—Captain Llewellin in thamking the Board i'or the honour, said no doubt they missf i some of the old members. At the same t,ie he was pleased to welcome the new mor.ioers, of whom there were eleven. To do their duty as guardians was no plain sailing He would like to see every member in- teresting himself in the Workhouse, which was an institution to be proud of; and they should have no qualms in asking any person to enter it. He understood that there were many old age pensioners living in poverty outside who would be much happier in the house. The question of out-relief should receive their con- sideration. People were apt to find fault with guardians in the matter of relief-that it was given too freely, or vice versa. For education and similar objects authorities could increase rates by shillings, but when it came to the welfare of the poor economy must be exercised. Inother question they would have to consider was the contributions towards the maintenance of relatives. It wsa r*t right to make soma people pontribute and leave others alone, and contributions should be based 0IL i of the contributor. Some were earning good good money and should contribute accordingly. In his opinion, it was a disgrace for a cjolher to let his parents go on the ParIs^- w r»aniel "Mr. E. J.

"Rrtardinor Out Un tne appuuimieim ui o Commtitee the Chairman said Aberystwyth was fche first union in the county to adopt the boarding out system, and inhis opinion it was the best system to deal with pauper children. The children were *ell looked after and were satisfied. No better results could be got from I fcrxttoge homes where the cost of maintenance was nearly as toigh as a high-class boarding school. Under the boarding out system the cost j was very low. Moreover, the children looked J upon their foster parents as their proper parents. Mrs. Davies, Ystrad Teilo, and Mrs. Morgan, Penllwyn, were co-opted to serve on the Com- mittee. Unemployment Money. The Board supported a resolution passed by the Pershore Guardians calling the attention of the Local Government Board to the abuse of the unemployment payments and urge that more stringent regulations be made as to the eligibility of applicants for such payments. Further, that many applicants who have been previously only casually employed were receiving unemployed benefits, and that others took no steps to obtain employment which is available. Mr. W. T. Lewis said he knew people in his locality that received payments much in advance of anything they earned before the war. He was not against paying the money tit soldiers, but tp shirkers, but the former did not ask for it. He understood that a mil- lion and a quarter a week was spent in un- employment money-seventy millions a year— and who was going to pay for it? It was stated that men refused work because it was not suit- ( able, and the question was how to find ojit whether the work offered was suitable or not, and in his opinion the Guardians could give valu able assistance in that respect. The Chairman said there was no doubt that the scheme was taken undue advantage of, but the Board could do nothing more than suggest an alteration. The Clerk said if a man refused work three times payment ceased. Mr. J. E. Griffiths gave an instance of a man who had never done regular work, and no work at all in winter, drawing unemployment Pl for the put two months

"Unjust and Cruel. SECONDARY TEACHERS AND GOVERNORS. CONFERENCE AT LAMPETER. An important conference was held at Larri- peter on Friday by representatives of the Governors of the county schools and secondary teachers. The conference was the outcome of-a previous meeting at Aberayron and after a two hours sitting it was decided to send a deputation to he next meeting of the C Council asking that the secondary education rate be increased to 2d. from £ d. as a" present. There were present:—Aberystwyth: Professor Morgan Lewis, Cap'.ain Lleweltin, the Rev. Noah Jones, and Mr. D. Samuel. Aberayron: Alderman J. M. Howell, Mrs. T. Z. Jones, Mr. Lima Jones, Mr. D. Jenkins, a-nd Mr. Howell Evans. Cardigan: Rev. J. Williams, Mr John Evans (mayor), Mr. Urias Richards, Mr. D. White Jones, Mr D. Williams, and Mr. R T. Davies. Llandyssul: Mr. Thomas Thomas, Dr. I Evans, and Mr W. Lewis. Tregaron: Mrs. Lloyd (Llyscinori), Mr. M. Morgan, Mr. Jones, (Post Office), Mr. J. R. Davies, and Mr. Lewis, and Mr. S. M. Powell I I The meeting elected l.hc itev J. Williams, Cardigan, to the chair, and Mr. S M Powell to act as secretary. The Chairman said that two resolutions passed a previous meetings appealed to the County Council to increase the education rate and to the Board of Education to increase the grants. The question of increasing the rate had been before the County Finance Committee who apparently had lone n">tuing. ''We must." lie Icontinued, "take some s eps. We cannot ex- pect to retain our teachers unless we do better than we are doing now Scales have been adopted by other counties far superior to any- thin<* in this county, and I am sorry we have not been able 1o follow their example. It will be difficult for us to retain our teachers and I am strongly in favour of doing all we can?" Mr. Morgan, Tregaron, the ught a scale of higher salaries imperative. Mr. Powell, Tregaron, saM it would 1 e neces- sary to have a secretary and he was uy ani- mously tlccted j It was stated that the teacrcrs had already met and, at *Jie request of the it eetiiig, Mr D. met and, at -¡Ie request of the it eetiiig, Mr D. Williams (Cardigan) made a comprehensive and lucid speech on the position and the teachers' demands.. He thanked the Governors for at- tending. The teachers did r.o1, say much, bat they thought a good deal and they much appre- ciated the Governors' action. "The teachers," he said, have no grievance against the Gov- ernors and have always regarded them as their r beat friends. It is because the teachers have felt powerless in this matter '.hat they are the more gratified by your response to our appeal to discuss tbe matter." The teachers, he asserted, had not come to plead their cause; that, he was glad to say, was unnecessary, but they would like 'he meeting to pass a resolu- "lUll urging me txiunty council to increase the rates for county schools. Tn»y knew that no education authority ever d«-tired to ir If: 8e the rates, but the natter was ard in proof of his contention he quoted figures-show- ing in 1895 the rates contributed to Cardigan County School was £ 99 12s. 3d. Then there were sixty pupils; now there were 300. Ex- penses had increased five-fold and the efficiency teir-fold. Yet, last year, lie amount from the rates for that school was exactly what is was in 1895. The teachers thought the method of financing the schools was 'unjust, cruel, and in- tolerable. It was "sheer ingratitude to a noble profession." If tha1, amount were to pay the salaries it would give the head C24 a year, the assistants £8 each, and leave S3 for the care- takers. (Laughter.) The schools could never be efficient unless a drastic change took place in the methods of financing them. Mr. Wil- liams argued that under the new Act 30,000 fresh teachers would be required and as a result, if Cardiganshire continued its "starva- tion" wages, the educational schemes of the county would not fructify. Referring to the Departmental Report on salaries in sowndary schools which had been accepted by the Board of Education, he. said, it was urgently desired that the principles of wat report should be j- corporated in the new scale. 11.e new stale was that after twenty years service masters of secondary schools should roach a maximum of £ 450 and if it was found that the governing authority could not pay, then, he urged, the j school should claim upon the Government as a necessitous school for which extra grants had been promised. A sum of M,000 extra for secondary education in Wales wa* included in the estimates submitted to Parliament. The most progressive authorities would receive the larger share—the most retrogressive the smaller. The new scheme of basing pensions on the amount of salary of the years just before re- tirement aggravated the position for the men not only suffered now, but were to be penalised in the future. Education, urged Mr. Williams in conclusion, was national, not local. The education rate should be the same throughout* the Kingdom and salaries should be the same. The rate for elementary education was Is. 2 £ d>, but secondary id. only-ridiculously low. The secondary rate should be 3d., the Government making tip any deficiency. The Chairman congratulated Mr. Williams on his speech, but feared that no body of Governors would adopt the scale or they would be bankrupt in a short time. If they had a guarantee they might be prepared to consider it. Alderman J. M. Howell supported the appeal to the Board of Education, but until the Board gave the quietus to that matter he desired that something should be done in the meantime. Teachers should place themselves in the posi- tion of county councillors and should remem- ber that the governors held the appoin menta of headmasters and the Education Committee took 'he view, when money was asked for, that that being the case they should also find the money. He did not think that the Education Committee would find better heads; but that was the position and he regretted that it was too late this year, for the budget was to be introduced in May and that included a id. rate He was afraid thai¡ the present members of the County Council were to blame for having failed to bring about a better feeling in that body regarding educatdon. There was an idea among the ratepayers that the teachers were ravenous sharks. He urged teachers to send to the councils men who really had the inter- ests of education at heart and he was of opinion that the present County Council would be as difficult in regard to money for education as any council that had existed, though the Council had now a lot of young sparks who were eager to tell the Council how to act. Proceeding, Alderman Howell said that the same principles were brought to bear on the appointment of a headmaster in a Cardigan- shire County School as on the appointment of a professor at any of the university colleges of Wales. In conclusion, Alderman Howell, amidst laughter, said that the position would be very serious were it not for the "whisky money." "Cannot we persuade the County Council?" he asked, as he resumed his seat. The Chairman said it was not too late for an amendment could be moved at the County Council. Alderman Howell agreed and for- mally seconded the proposal for a national scale. Mr. T. Jones, Tregaron, also supported the proposition Mr. D. Samuel asked if a flat scale was proposed irrespective of the conditions of the schools ? Mr. Daniel Williams (Cardigan) replied that the work was equally responsible in a large as in a small school and the children required masters and mispresses equally well qualified. Mrs. T Z. Jones and Mr. Lewis, Tregaron, said that teachers would under a national scheme be civil servants and would be paid by scale irrespective of the town in which they worked. The proposition was carried, the form of the wording being left to Mr. Powell, hon. secretary of the meeting. The meeting then proceeded to discuss what action might be taken at onoe, and Alderman J M. Howell pointed out that d. was deroga- tory to the sense of honour of the county. The question of balances in hand would be one of the first raised and it was a question which would have to be faced. Mrs. T. Z. Jones suggested tnat a resolution +o be put before the County Council, and the Chairman proposed that a deputation should appear before the next meeting Mr. Lewis, Tregaron, added to that a sugges- tion that the County Council members should be canvassed as well as a deputation sent. The Chairman said he was in favour of treating the teachers generously, but he was a believer1 in a small balance. After discussion, the following were appointed a deputationMr. Dan Williams, Cardigan; Mr. David Evans, Llandyssul; Mr Jones, Post Office, Tregaron; Mr. S. M. Powell, Tregaron; Mr Howell Evans, Aberayron; Professor Lewis, Aberystwyth; and Professor Edward Edwards, Aberystwyth. The matter of canvassing was left to the Governors.

Y mae rhyw gymaint o rwystrau weithian wedi cbdi ynglyn a gwaith y Gynhadledd ym Mharis, a hynny yn bennaf oherwydd yr an- ghydweld ynglyn a hawliau'r Eidal i ran o hen arfordir Awstria. Cred yr Arlywydd WiLpn y buasai caniatau hyn i'r Eidal yn crehi teimladau chwerw drachefn yng ngwled- ydd y dwyreinbarth a'i fod yn groes i'r ysbryd a ddylasai fod wrth wraidd Cyngrair y Cenhedloedd. Yn ol y oytundeb a wnaed rhwng y Cynghreiriaid yn 1915 yr oedd yr Eidal i gael rhyw ddarnau arbennig o dir fel cyd- naby.ddiaeth am y rhan yr oedd hi i'w gymryd yn y rhyfel, eithr nid oedd Fiume i fewn yn y cytundeb hwnnw, a Fiume yn awr yw asgwrn y gynnen. Nid yw'r cytundeb a wnaed a r Eidal yn 1915 ynddo ei hyn yn cydfynd ag y.sbryd .y Gynhadledd heddyw, ond wedi'r cyfan ni ellir beio'r Qynghreiriaid am eu wneuthur y pryd hwnnw. Yr oedd yr Almaen hitkau wedi addo rhywbeth yn de.byg iddi am gadw yn amhleidiol. ac o goflo'r amgylchiadau yn yr adeg honno, anodd iawn oedd i Brydain a Ffrainc weithredu yn wahanol. ASGWRN Y GYNEN. Amser y unig a ddeng. 's beth a ddaw allan o hyn oil. Os yw'r Eidal yn mynnu glynu wrth amodau'r cytundeb blaenorol, ni all y Cynghreiriaid yn hawdd iawn ei nacau, ond os oeisiant fynd dros ben hynny, a dwyn i fewn Fiume, yna nid oes argoel y cant cefnogaeth gwledydd eoraill y Cyngrair. Y rheswm dros hyn yw fod amryw o fan gerihedloedd newydd yn y partbau hynny yn awr, cenhedloedd a ryddhalwvd o'r iau Awstraidd ac heb ganddynt le agored, oddigerth trwy Fiume if asnachu a'r byd oddiallan. Mae'n ddiau fod gan yr •» "1 wedi'r Eidal lawer IW GWYUU I -A cyfan mae'r amgychiadau wedi newid yn ddirfawr i'r hyn oeddent dair blvnedd yn ol. Ni (oedd neb y pryd hwnnw wedi darogan cwymp Rwsia a chwalfa ymerhodraeth Awstr a, nac ychwa.ith yn tybio y buasai'r America yn uno a'r Cynghreiriaid; ae, yn wir, y mae meddwl ac ysbryd y cenhedloedd wedi eu gwyr- droi yn llwyr ynglyn a phob cwestiwn ymron. Hyderir, felly, y gellir cael rhyw ffordd o ym- wared heb ddolurio ar deimladau'r naill genedl na'r Hall, ac y ceir pawb eto i gydweithio yn gytun i geisio ail-sefydlu'r berthynas rhyngrom a'n gilydd. RHYDDHAU'R BWYD. Llawen iawn gennym i gyd yw gweld rhydd- hau o'r gwahanol fwydydd yn raddol, a ninnau, erbyn hyn, yn gallu prynu yii ddi-rwystr ami i nwydd nad oedd modd cael namyn dejn ohono ychydig amoor yn ol. Eithr ni allwn ddis- gwyl am hir amser eto weled pepeth megis ag yr oedd yn yr hen amser. Un o amcanion pennaf yr awdurdodau, wrth ddal eu gafael fel hyn ar rai o brif fwydydd y wlad, yw diogeli'r cyhoedd rhag prisiau uchel a dos- barthiad anghyfartal ar draws y wladt, canys y mae'r ddau hyn bob amser yn dilyn prinder pa bryn bynnag y dijgwyddo. Un o'r nwyddau prinnaf, yn oi yr hanes, yw ymenyn, a chyfrifir y bydd prinder mawr ohono led y byd i gyd am flwyddyn arall. A'r un modd ynglyn a siwgr. Cyn y rhyfel yr oedd y rhan fwyaf ohono yn dod i Brydain o Germani ad Awstria, aa felly fe ddeil y prinder hy,j nes y bo'r gwledydd hynny wedi adferu, i raddau helaeth, eu diwyd- iannau a'u maenach. Ceir gwell newyddion ynghyleh gwenith, a hysbysir fod y'Weinydd- iaeth Fwyd eisoes yn gwerthu'n nelaeth o'u cyflenwad, gan farnu'n ddocthach werttiu ar golled na chadw'r pris yn uchel i'r prynwr. SWN YMREOLAETH. Maien'n amlwg fod llawer o gyffro yn y wlad y dyddiau hyn mewn perthynas i gwestiwn Ymreolaeth i Gymru. Y llynedd ffurfiwyd Pwyllgor Cenedlaethol yn y Gynhadledd a gyn- haliwyd yn Llandrindod gjda'r amcan o nyr- wyddo'r mudiad,. ac erbyn hyn gwneir ym- drech atrbennig i gyfuno holl awdurdodau sirol a dinesig Cymru, pob cymdeithas a phlaid wleidyddol a llafurol, pob sefydliad addysgol, holl athrawon a graddedigion y colegjau a'r ysgolion, a phob math o gymdeithasau cyhoeddus, b blaid mesur buan o Ymreolaeth, Yr arfaeth ar hyn o bryd yw trefnu cyfar- fod arall yn Llandrindod tua'r Sulgwyn i ystyried y cwestiwn yn llawnach a manylach, ac i benderfynu ar gynllun y mesur sydd mewn golwg. Mae'n debyg y bydd un o'r eist.eddiad,au yn gyfyngedig i gynrychiolwyr yr awdurdodau cyhoeddus a'r Aelodau Sen- eddol Cymreig a hynnv gyda'r amcan arben- nig o ystyried y priodoldeb o hawlio Ysgrif- ennydd i Gymru fel y cam cyntaf i gyfeiriad Ymreolaeth. Tybir y bydd hyn yn torri'r ddtaft rhwng y ddwyblaid sydd wedi codi yngilyn a'r mater ac yn cyfuno pob gallu er mwyn cyrraedd yr amcan mewn golwg. CEISIO UNO'R DDWYBLAID. I Diau y 'cofir i ryw fath ar gynhadledd gael ei chynnal yng Nghaerdydd ychydig amser yn ol, o dan nawydd Undeb y Cymdeithasau Cym- reig, a hynny gyda'r un arrican ag yr oedd wrth gofn y gynhadledd a gynhaliwyd yn Llandrin- dod. Eithr yn y gynhadledd honno yng Nghaerdydd cafwyd mwyafrif mawr yn erbyn yr awgrym o gael Ysgrifennydd i Gymru ac yn galw am ymreolaeth drwyadl, a dim llai na hynny. Yn y manylion a gynoeddir yn awr y mae'r pwyllgor "oenedlaethol" a ffurfiwyd yn J/land'rindcd wedi sicrhau cydweijthrediad Undieb y Cymdeithasau Cymreig yn yr ym- gyrch newydd sydd ar droed, gan nad beth a ddeilpo o'r cydwe t'rediad hwnnw. Mae'n amlwg fod llawer iawn o ddyrysbynciau ynglyn a'r cwestiwn y mae'n rhaid cael mwy o ddealltwr- iaeth yn eu cylch cyn y gellir tynnu allan, linellau ymrelolaeth a roddo foddlonrwydd eyffredinol, canys oni ellir symud rhagoni gyda'n gilydd ni cheir unrhyw wir fudd o'r mudiad. Y mae eisoes ddwy farn bendant iawn yn ei gylch, ac megis a<r y dywedwyd eisoes, amcan pennaf y gynhadledd sydd i'w chynnal yn Llandrindod a fydd chwilio am ryw fath o dir canol modd y gallo pob plaid sefyll yn esmwyth arDJO.

Continued from previous column. On the question of asking for an increase in the rate, the Chairman said if the secondary rate were increased from id. (which produced £490) to 2d. they would have approximately L2,000 from the rates which with a similar amount from the Board would meet their case. With regard to balances he would be quite willing to hand over the balances if the County Council would become responsible-but not otherwise. Professor Lewis proposed that the deputation should ask for a 2d. rate for secondary educa- tion. Mr. John Evans, Cardigan, seconded. Mr. D. Williams proposed as an amendment that 3d. should be asked, but there being no seconder the proposition was carried unani- mously. A suggested resolution that the Education Committee be asked to utilise the county schools under the new scheme was discussed, but not adopted, and the meeting terminated with a vote of thanks to the Chairman, pro- posed by Alderman J. M Howell and seconded by Mr. D. Williams, the proposer describing hint as one who, with himself and one other, made up the three original members of the Council, "the only three who have survived those difficulties known as elections."
