ONCE MORE THE CHURCH IN WALES.
ONCE MORE THE CHURCH IN WALES. IT has been said with a great deal of truth that when Mr. GLADSTONE goes, the "strongest man" among leading Liberals will be Mr. JOHN MORLEY. And he it is--the most philosophical and pxli cially-minded of our rising statesmen—who has just made the Disestablishment of the Church in Wales a prominent plank in the Liberal platform Writing to Mr. STUART IIEND AL a few days ago' Mr. MORLEY said The Disestablishment of the Church in Wales, whatever view we may take of the larger question, is a reform which cannot any longer be kept out of the active objects of the Liberal party." He further declares that it must now form an indispensable article of Liberal policy." It would be something more than super- fluous wera we to enter into the reasons which make inevitable the separation of the Church in Wales from the Stat?, because our readers have long been familiar with them. Our leading Liberal statesman has hitherto opposed this policy mainly on the ground that Wales, in this respect, should not be legislated for apart from England. Mr. GLADSTONE'S views, however, have recently under- gone a change, and he no doubt sees that the Dis- establishment of the Church forms the strongest feature of the new development" of which he wrote some weeks ago, and which he believes to be at present one of the most observable things in Welsh politics. Whether or not the right honour- able gentleman is now prepared to pronounce in favour of this leading demand of Welsh Lilwrals, we cannot say. Next in importance however, to such an expression of opjnoJl on his part, is the emphatic declaration made by the next strongest man,Mr. MORLEY. English newspapers,meantime, have been forced to deal with this question, and during the present week the leading London journals, no less than some of the leading papers in the provinces, have thought it worthy of more 11 y than a passing notice. Like MAHOMET with the mountain,inasmuch as England would not approach Wales, Wales has decided to approach England, with the not unnatural result that Welsh claims are getting more and more attention as the weeks roll by. The Daily for'jnstance, has again devoted a good deal of its space to a second letter from "ADFYFYR," his subject this time being the State Church in the Principality. It will be seen from that communication, which we reproduce, that the writer travels over ground well trodden by many able Welshmen before him, notably Mr. HENRY RICHARD, M.P. in his Letters and Essays on Wales,"—a small book which we would venture to recommend to the careful attention of the Times, if it would s we itself from supplying further signal examples of how ill-informed writers express sheer nomense when dealing with Welsh affairs. As an appeal to the English public, "ADFYFYR'S last letter, ably written as it is, and prominently published, will doubtless render Wales very good service at the present time; and who- ever that writer may be, he is to be both congratulated and thanked for his valuable • help in making clear to our friends across the border what really are the relative potions of Church and Dissent in Wales. One of the commonest and weakest contentions of those who defend the Es- tablishment in the Principality is more a taunt than argument, namely, that what Welsh Noncon- formists want, above all other things, is the endowments of the Church, and with this accusation ADFYFYR deals effectively. The charge," he says, "is odiously and absurdly untrue and is only one more indication of the perverse obliquity of State Church vision. What Noncon- formist Wales asks for is religious equality between man and man in the eyes of the law. The State Church of Wales is welcome to all that is her due, and as far as Nonconformist Wales has expressed any opinion at all as to the application of the surplu s after disendowment it is-let it be applied by the -State for the secular benefit of the whole commu- nity, Conformist and Nonformist, an'l those night- stricken outcasts who grope in the shadow of civi- lisation, a stain and a stigma upon nineteenth cen- tury Christianity. Not a farthing of the moneys which have been stored up in the State Church coffers of Wales would ever press the palm of Welsh Nonconformity. What Wales has askect for, and will ask for and will insist upon with all the might of con- viction is equity of treatment. A neglected and la- bouring people, the Welsh have yet been enterprising enough to erect in less than a century three thou- sand and a half chapels. A comparatively poor people, they nevertheless contribute more than £ 400,000 annually for religious purposes. They do not grudge their wealthier State Church neigh- bours all religious independency of view. They wish them well. But they appeal to the Legisla ture to treat all denominations alike. They ask the English Parliament, which has given liberty to the slave of distant continents, to emancipate Nonconformist Wales from perpetual serfdom to a system which has ever made the poor man poorer and the rich man richer. Wales demands and will have, and that soon, perfect 'freedom to worshid God." Compared with the foregoing strong state- ment of fact, how miserable in its poorness must the following stupid remarks of the Times appear The Church in Wales consists of four dioceses of the Church of England, and Wales never was a nation, but only a portion of England, in which the amalgamation of the elements that went to form the English people was less thoroughly carried out than in other places. In a word, this charge, so well-disposed of by ADFYFYR, never was and never can be other than a repetition of the time- worn trick known as "-No defence; abuse the plaintiff."

SCHOOL TRAINING.
SCHOOL TRAINING. LOHD RR AISAZOX'S letter dealing with the necessity for industrial training in day schools is iiiosi interesting, and its arguments have been supported by able writers and experienced educationists for some years past. Their complaint against the prevalent system of education is, in effect, that it tends to the neglect of—even if it do not go further and create an actual distaste, for—manual labour, for the work of the mechanic and artizan. The complaint is a serious one, and is to some extent only too true. Some writers argue as though the present system were wholly faulty, and would have to be abandoned altogether; but with these we cannot agree, our view being that the system is good so far as it goes, but that it doe3 not go far enough. Industrial training requires to be made complementary to, not in substitution for, that now given. Those actually engaged in the work of tuition will doubtless declare that it is impossible to add aught to the existing curriculum that the time is already fully taken iiL) and that the children's minds are taxed to their utmost now. This may be: but even if so, it would be an argument, not against industrial training, but in favour of substituting that training for some of the subjects iow occupying attention. What is required is that the instruction given should be more suited to the development of the capacities of the children. At present, scholars are put into a as though the object of school training were to make the boys all clerks and the girls all seamstresses. Carnarvon girls' school has the distinction of recognizing the fact that the scholars thereat may one day be called upon to cook; but even here, we get no further. If the object of school training be to fit children for the discharge of their duties in after life, then, in the majority of cases, it fails lamentably. We are rearing mere scholars, not men and women. Of physical education, there is nothing the elemen- tary principles of hygiene are unknown. Some schools in other parts of the country do teach the pupils how to use their limbs, and by drill and manual exercise are changing awkward narrow- chested weaklings into something better, thus preparing them for more favourably setting out in the battle of life. But the teaching is not sufficiently general. Boys ought to learn drill and the use of gymnastic ap- paratus, and should be trained in handling tools and girls, besides calisthenics, should learn how to cut out and make garments, how to cook, and what are the essential cjnditions of healthy exis- tence. School training is at present too partial. Book learning has all but entire possession of the field until lately, ic had full possession. Some little, attention to sewing and cooking is given in girls schools, and in a few others, there is drill, &c., for the boys. But the system of education requires development. We have done right so far as we have gone; but we have not gone far enough. Population grows too rapidly for the means of sustenance in these islands; and there is a duty pressing upon us of so educating the youngsters that they may be able to win their way in new countries. We have to-day a super-abnndancc of pen-drivers of all sorts yet the school system is turning out annually mllY thousands more of lads and lasses whose only qualification is that they can read, write, and cypher. Naturally, clerics' wages are driven down to the lowest point by the constant pressure of lads from school, who are glad to work for very little money if only they ct-i get a start in life and semre an office training. Worse still, even if the obj >ct of our school system were 10 produce clerks, that object is very badly pursued, for it is matter of common obser- vation that, in the larger towns, German clerks are ousting Pritish because the Germans have had a more suitable training for their duties. It would be serviceable if those who are prrctically conversant with educati m work in this neighbour- hood would express their opinions upon this impor- tant question.
BOTH PEER AND IMPERIOUS
BOTH PEER AND IMPERIOUS IF we r.-h iy interpret a nofee recently sent to the Anglesey tenantry of Lord STANLEY OF ALDERLEY, it would appear that Czarism is not limited to Russia. The said notice informs the Welsh farmers that his lordship has been much annoyed, whilst out shooting, by the large dogs which many of his tenants keep, and which are continually ranging through the fields disturbing, and at times destroying, the game. His lordship hopes that his tenants will at once do away with these useless n-I troublesome dogs, as they cannot be of any use to the tenants, either
