------------_---__--------"_---------Bruce…
Bruce Glasier at Aberdare. On Monday evening, Mr. Bruce Glasier, the famous socialist orator, who is now touring the country under the auspices of the Independent Socialist Party, addressed a meeting at the Victoria-square. Mr. E. Parker presided, and with a few brief re- marks introduced Mr. Bruce Glasier to the meeting. The subject of his address was The Investigation of Lord Rosebery." He referred to the victory achieved by the Labour Party, in the recent election at Clitheroe, and to the fact that the new member entered the House of Commons with Mr. Keir Hardie on one side and Mr. R. Bell on the other. What had been done in Clitheroe, he maintained, could be done elsewhere. Then the speaker proceeded to investigate the career of Lord Rosebery. He had at least one good trait in the fact that he was a Scotchman. In this he re- sembled our present King, who was nine- tenths German and one-tenth Scotch. It was needless to say, he remarked further, that all his virtues came from his Scotch pedigree. Then Mr. Bruce Glasier referred at some length to Lord Rosebery as a social worker. He expatiated on the good services rendered by his Lordship as chairman of the London County Council. On that body he distinguished himself as a strenuous social reformer, and a militant advocate of the rights of the people. lie .fought hard for the municipalisation of water, and the municipalisation of the car service and other reforms. He was a co-worker with John Burns and other eminent progressives. Lord Rosebery was also a member of the Parish Council in the neighbourhood in which lie resided, hence the designation of Councillor Rosebery," which had recently been applied to him. In the meetings of the Council his Lordship had oftentimes stood up for the rights of the people agoinst the encroach- ments of the landlords, but as a politician Lord Rosebery, the speaker maintained, was a failure. He had been the right-hand man of the late Mr. Gladstone, but unlike the Grand Old Man, he neither added lustre to the Liberal Party, nor glory to his own name. When the veteran Mr. Gladstone, on the brink of the grave, lifted his voice and hand against the Armenian atrocities, Lord Rose- bery spoke against Britain intervening on behalf of the poor Armenians, and it was said that the reason for his action was his family relations with the Rothschilds, who were greatly interested in Turkish Consols. It was also said of young Rosebery that he made a vow that lie would achieve the triple feat of winning the Derby, marry the richest heiress in England, and become Prime Minister. If those were Lord Rose- bery's ideals they were not very high ones, they savoured more of sordid personal ambition than of anxiety to serve his country and his generation. The speaker also made some humorous remarks on the agitation for the abolition of the House of Lords. Many of the members of that assembly were, he said, easy going fellows with whom the workmen had no serious quarrel, but it would be no good for them to I get rid of the House of Lords unless they purged the House of Commons of the coal owners, the iron masters, and the South African magnates. The House of Commons as constituted to-day was as much an obstacle of progress as the House of Lords. The speaker paid a high tribute to the junior member for Mertliyr and Aberdare, and also referred in eulogistic terms to Mr. Lloyd George. f' Mr. Bruce Glasier spoke for over an hour to a large and attentive audience, who evidently appreciated his eloquent discourse. A quantity of literature was distributed during the meeting.
Salvation Army Outing.
Salvation Army Outing. On Monday the junior outing of the Sal- vation Army (Mertliyr District), took place. The place selected was Aberdare, and it was intended to have a grand display in the Public Park (which was kindly lent for the occasion by the District Council). However, owing to the inclement weather, they were obliged to abandon the al fresco festivities to a great extent. But in spite of the rain they had an open-air meeting, in which the Salvation Army Band under the leadership of Bandmaster Morgan, gave some excellent selections, Band Sergt. Penellerack also giving some valuable aid. There were also drills by the children on the bar-bells and dumb-bells, under the leadership of Bro. Thomas, Band of Love leader. Notwith- standing the frequent downpours, some of the party, especially the juveniles betook them- selves to the boats, and passed the time happily in that fashion. Subsequently, they repaired to the Army Barracks in the town where refreshments of all descriptions where partaken of, the following serving as waiters :—Bro. Jones and Mrs. Jones (junr.), Mrs. Rogers, Mrs. Roberts, Mrs. Oates, Mrs. Ensign Kent, and Mrs. Bathers. All the arrangements were in the capable hands of Ensign Kent and the junior Sergt. Major Mrs. Thomas. In the evening, a successful meeting was held at the hall, which was kindly lent by the adjutant.of the Aberdare corps. There were drills on dumb-bells, tambourines, bar-bells and also some fine selections by the band. Despite the un- favourable state of the weather, a fairly enjoyable day was spent.
The Education Bill.
The Education Bill. By ME. W. J. HEPPELL. When I last wrote on this question I ven- tured to express a hope that the retire- ment of Lord Salisbury would be followed by that of Sir John Gorst. I am glad to say this has come about. Sir John Gorst has ceased his connection with the Education Department. After 30 years Mr. W. E. Forster is remembered almost solely as the Minister who passed the measure giving popular education, and in the future Sir John Gorst will be remembered chiefly as the man who tried, it is to be hoped un- successfully, to wreck Mr. Forster's great work. Whether Lord Londonderry be a success or failure as head of the Education Department, he cannot possibly be worse than Sir John Gorst and his chief, the Duke of Devonshire. We have now reached the parting of the ways on this Education Bill, and it behoves the Nonconformists of the country to decide and decide quickly what action they pro- pose to take. After a long discussion the House of Commons have decided that the so-called Voluntary Schools which are to be practically entirely supported by public money are to be ruled by the denominations, which means that the bulk of them are to be ruled by the Church of England. It has been decided that of the six managers, four are to be appointed by the denomination and two by public bodies. The discussion has brought into light some startling features We have been assured that it was the wishes of the parents on religious education that were to be consulted, but when a resolution was submitted that the Managers should consist of two representing the trustees, two the parents and two the public bodies, this was resisted by the supporters of Church Schools, showing how much value there is placed on the fiction of the wishes of parents and we have the fact that a so-called National Church is afraid to trust the people. Again the hypocrisy of our system of party govern- ment was shown in the fact- that although 100 Unionist members petitioned Mr. Bal- four to agree to a representation of one half trustees and one half public bodies, when the Government decided to stick to their original proposal these members were either absent or voted with the Government. What course do Nonconformists intend to follow ? We are practically ha.lf the nation. Half of the children are in public schools, governed by public bodies, on these public bodies Churchmen claim and exercise their right to sit, and the schools are open to teachers of all denominations, Church and Nonconformist alike. The other half of the children are in schools which are to be en. tirely controlled by Churchmen, and open only to Church teachers, although a large number of the children are Nonconformists' children, and the schools are practically to be supported by public money. If the Non. conformists accept this position they will be in a perpetual state of inferiority. What course are they then going to pursue. If they expect this battle is to be won by at- tending public meetings and passing resolu- tions of protest, they will be grievously mistaken. The County Council of Carnar- von have decided that if the Bill is passed in its present form they will not put it into force. Have the County Council of Glamor- gan and the local bodies enough back bone to decide to follow this course ? I regret deeply the position in which the fatal policy of the Government is placing us. I have nothing but the friendliest possible feelings for Churchmen, and there is a good deal too much misery and evil in the world for us to waste time in fighting over shibbo- leths, but this question goes much deeper., it is a question whether the priests or the people are to rule in the schools, and a ques- tion whether Nonconformists are to pay for teaching doctrine to which they strongly object. I know that a very large number of fair' minded Churchmen disagree with the Government* policy, but unfortunately, ex- cept in a few cases such as the Bishop of Hereford, they will not speak out, and it seems as if nothing was left us but to fight it out, which will mean intense bitterness and I fear great injury to the Church and to the cause of religion in general.
Seaside Trips. -----,.
Seaside Trips. The first annual outing of the members of St. John's Church Bible Class took place on Monday, the place selected being Porthcawl. Notwithstanding the inclement weather a large number availed themselves of the trip. They were accompanied by the Rev. E. V. Kissack and the Vicar of Aberdare. On the same day the members of St. John the Evangelist Church, Robertstown, had their annual outing to Penarth. Rain fell heavily during the greater part of the day, which marred to a great extent the day's enjoyment. The Rev. J. J. Davies. B.A., the cumte-in-charge at Robertstown, was with the party.
Aberdare Flower Show.
Aberdare Flower Show. t The committee of the above met at the Vestry Hall on Friday evening. In the absence of Mr. F. Parry de Winton. Mr. John was elected chairman. Mr. B. Jones read the minutes of the previous meeting which were adopted. A letter was read from Mr. A. Pettigrew, Cardiff, stating that he would be unable to be present to judge at the show. He suggested that his foreman 119 should take his place. Mr. D. Tudor Wil liams observed that lie and the lion, secre- tary had written accepting the offer. The Committee confirmed this on the under- standing that Mr. Pettigrew's foreman should not judge in the Open Class.. Members of the Committee submitted their collecting books, the subscriptions received by them being considered very satisfactory.
