RHONDDA SCHOOL BOARD.
RHONDDA SCHOOL BOARD. The ordinary monthly meeting of the Ys- tradyfodwg School Board was held at the Council Offices, Pentre, on Tuesday, Mr T. Bevan presiding. The attendance included Rev W. Morris (vice-chairman). Rev W. Lewis, Rev Thomas Williams, Miss Ada Jones, Messrs W. W. Hood. W. Jenkins, David Williams, Daniel Thomas, D. R. Jones, Rev W. Charles, with the clerk (Mr W. G. Howell), and the deputy-clerk (Mr T. G. Jones). In the report of the Builùing Committee appeared the following paragraphs: — "We have received a communication from the Education Department, recognising the proposed iron building at Cwmclydaeh as pro- viding temporary accommodation for 60 in- fants. We have instructed the architect to gel the required improvements at uie Ystrad Higher Grade School carried out forthwith. The Architect reports: That the new Girls' and Infants' Schools at Trelierbert are inter- nally completed, but that externally there yet remained to be done more work than could possibly be completed by the 9th March un- less the staff of men is increased; that the work at Ton Boys' and Girls' Schools is draw- j ing to a close; that the Infants new Class- room at Tylorstown are having the rocf put 6n, and that the greater part for the founda- tions for Boys' new Classrooms are laid, and a considerable part of the boundary wall built; that his estimate of the cost of re-arranging the Drains at Hafod School, including filling up playground, and increasing height of part of boundary wall, and laying paved footway in front and at side, is £ 190; and that upon visit- ing Blaenllechau School on the 22nd inst. he had observed serno slight indications of fur- ther movements in the building at the Southr Eagt end. The tender of Messrs Charles Jen- kins and Son, Porth, was accepted for corruga- ted iron buildings far Porth Manual Instruction Centre. The price was £ 195 10s, and masonry 8s 6J per cubic yard." The report was adopted. The Finance Committee recommended pay- ments of accounts amounting to £3.807 9s. After that day's payments the general account shewed a credit balance of LI,Gll 9s lid, and the loan account a credit balance of Os 5d. On the motion of Mr Daniel Thomas, the report was adopteu. The Attendance Committee reported that the averngo attendance at the schools during the month ended February 17th was (JO per cent., as compared with 'i5.1 per cent. last month, and 80 per cent. during the correspond- ing month of last year. The School Management Committee in their report stated that they had received a com- munication from the headmaster of Cwm Clyd- ach Boys' School, stating that D. H. Davies, certificated-assistant at tnat school, had left on the 17th February to take up an appoint- ment under another Board. They had also received a letter from Davies on the matter. They "recommended that Davies' salary for February be with-held, and that the Clerk write to him staling that it was with hesitation that they decided not to recommend the Board to report to the Education Department his con- ùuct, in leaving without notice." The report continued: "A deputation from the certifica- ted assistants under the Board, consisting of Messrs J. T. Lewis, Llwynynia Mixed; W. Jones, Gelli Boys'; and J. Howells, Hafod Boys', has this day appeared before us apply- in for a revision of the scale of salaries pay- s-Ma to certificated assistants (male and fe- male) with the view of increasing the annual increments and maximum. We have requested them to reduce their application into wrking. We have received a communication from the Education Department stating that plans have been approved for new premises for the Ton. vpandy Roman ditholie School, to provide accommodation for 100 (Mixed). We have in- structed the plerk to enquire whether such accommodation is additional to or in substitu- tion for the accommodation hitherto allowed. We recommend that the question of providing addtional manual azistruction centres be re- ferred to a Committee.

We recommend that the thanks of the Board be tendered io the ladies who recently so kindly and readily undertook to distribute the cookery prizes and certificates at the different centres, and that the appreciation of the Board of the kindness of Mrs Lewis fiavis in presenting at the Fern- dale meeting each of the prize winners with an additional prize, at her own expense, be conveyed to her." The report was adopted. A letter was read from Dr Herbert Jones, medical officer of health, informing the Board of a considerable increase in the number of cases of diphtheria at Ynyshir. He thought it advisable to close all the departments in the schools at that place for two weeks. A fur- ther letter was received from Dr Jones stating that the epidemic of diphtheria at Ynyshir was still active, although the closing of the schools had not been without effect. He now thought it advisable to keep the schools closed until after the Easter vacation.—This it was decided I to do. Mr T. D. John, Penygraig, wrote askinsr for the use of the laboratory for the use of a class of teachers who were anxious to take a course of instruction in practical physics.—Permission was granted.

Hafod Schools Dispute. -
Hafod Schools Dispute. At the ordinary monthly meeting- of the Ys- tradyfodwg School Board on Monday, Mr T. Bevan presiding, the Rev W. Morris (vice- chairman) referred to the report of the com- mittee of tho Pontypridd School Board at its last meeting, which appeared in last week's "Free Press." Having read the clauses. Mr Morris denied that the renresentatives of the Ystradyfodwg School Board rejected the terms offered. In the first instance they raised the Pontypridd Board up to £ 250, and in the first place the latter would not entertain the idea, of arrears at all. The Ystradyfodwg represen- tatives told them plainly they accepted clause one, viz., the payment of £250. They also accepted clause two, "that the Pontypridd School Board pay the net cost of mainten- ance to the rates in respect of the Pontypridd children educated at the Hafod schools, and calculated on the average attendance for the year ending May, lg)-9," on the clear under- standing that it would be the net cost of the Hafod schools. Then clause four said "the Rev Lloyd Davies then offered to pay the whole of the arrears claimed by the Ystrady- fodwg Board and rental, in accordance with their first agreement, upon the understanding that the Pontypridd School Board receive ade- quate representation upon the Ystradyfodwg Board." "That," added Mr Morris, "was the first thing they proposed, and we told them distinctly and decisively that the representa- tion question was not to bp entertained, which is one of the four terms here rejected by ws. I wish to state we accepted B250 and cost of maintenance but, we refused to accept £ 25 per annum for rent. We thought it an absurd idea to accept £ 25. We offered therci-tin the firs: instance £ 60, and. of course, we accepted (ho first two on the understanding that they would give us something like adequate rent, but they refused. We came down to JE30, and we thought if we came lower than tbat-" The Chairman: So the difference between them and us was simply £ 5, and if they accep- ted our terms they would crain £75 because our Board receives five shillings ner head soccial grant. Rev W. Morris: At the same time, they arc throwing away f,75 by refusing it. Referring to the Llanwonno and Ystrady- fodwg arbitration proceedings, the vice-chair- man said he was sorry the award of the ar- bitrator was against them, but it seemed they had succeeded in resisting that claim which was £ 3,757. They had reduced it, and thus gained £ 2,166.

The Scourge of Consumption.…
The Scourge of Consumption. I A Young Life Saved. The following startling history was gleaned by a Tuubridae Wells Advertiser reporter the other day, when he called upon a young lady living on the Buckhurst Park Estate, at Witbyham, Sussex, now the country seat of Eø.rl de la Warr. "My name, she said, "is Leah Stevens, and I have lived in this Park nearly the whole or my lite. My father died of consumption before I was a year old, and it was thought that I would die of the same disease. Since I was twelve years old I have been treated by no less tnan thirteen doctors. At that age I began to look very pale I was told that I was con- sumptive, and as treatment appeared to do me no I got quite downhearted. I was sent to Brighton for a time, but when I returned I became almost helpless. For two years I had to be carried up and downstairs, and if I attempted to walk any distance I fell down, and had to be carried indoors. I tried all sorts of medicines, but got no benefit from them. After s 'ven years' illness, we read of numerous cures by Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, and mother obtained some for me. On the third day after commencing to take them I could enjoy my meals. At the end of a fortnight the colour returned to my fa(,e, and my hopes rose. At the end of a month I walked four miles to chapel and home, unassisted, for the first time in five years. Altogether I took seven boxes of the pills, and since, I have not had one hour's illness."
* A Case of Severe Rheumatism…
A Case of Severe Rheumatism Cured" Influenza was the Primary Trouble. At the village of North Radworthy, near North Molton, Devon, Mr. Thomas Huxtable, wa-s interviewed by a North Devon Herald reporter. "But a "But a short time ago," said Mr. Hux- table, "I could not even dress myself, for about four years ago I had a terrible attack of in, fluenza, and a return attack, j about two years later, j,was followed 'by muscular rheumatism, which gradu- ally grew worse. A doctor at- tended me for eight months. but I gave up taking medicine, as it did not do me good. The muscles of my hands, arms, and chest, grew so bad with rheumatism that I began to think I was completely done for. My wife, however, was reading about the numerous cures effected by Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, and at last wrote to London for a box. The result was that a ter I had taken three boxes I began to get better, and kept on improving until they complete]; cured me and now I can go about my daily work as well as ever I could, thanks to Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, though many of the neighbours thought that I hhoutd never do any more work." Mrs. Huxtable said that she, in common with a neighbour, had also derived considerable benefit from taking the piUs as a cure ior sick headaches.

Pleurisy and Erysipelas Cured. An Eight Months' Illness. 0 Miss Lilly Murphy lives with ber parents at Apsley Cottage, Bath-street, Keynsham, near Bristol, and she readily consented to tell the facts concerning her illness and cure to a reporter who cal!ed. "I was suddenly taken ill said Miss Murphy, "in June, 1898, with pleurisy. I was at Bristol Royal Infirmary for six weeks. I obtained tem- porary relief, \a n d was broughthome, but two or three days after, ery- si pel as came in my feet, and I wa, obliged to return to bed. This lasted for over a month, and then pleurisy set in the second time. I was quite helpless through weakness." Yes," interpo.>-d Mrs. Murphy, she was in a dread!ully low state, her hair came off, and we had to wait, on her night and day. Yrç, did not think she would live." "At length I was told," went on Miss Murphy, "of a young lady suffering from a similar complaint wno had received much benefit from Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People. I obtained a box of the pills, and had not taken tJwm for a week before my breath got better, and I began to feel stronger and more cheerful. My appetite came back, too, and in a month's time I couid. make my own bed and help about the house, and now 1 do everything for my mother." "I had five boxes in all, and though I had been seriously ill for eight iSjonths, yet I am now completely recovered."

PONTYPRIDD TRADES' COUNCIL.
PONTYPRIDD TRADES' COUNCIL. FIRST ANNUAL DINNER. The Pontypridd Trades and Labour Council held their first annual dinner at the Maltsters' Arms, Pontypridd, on Thursday last, under the presidency of their president, Mr Moses Jones, supported by their secretary, Mr Fred Edwards. The function was a successful one in every sense of the word. After partaking of- an excellent spread provided by the genial host, Mr Edward Williams, numerous songs were given, and various toasts submitted. After the enthusiastic reception of the loyal toasts, Mr Richard Collins gave a sentimental song, followed by Mr Jack Thomas, a comedian of the "first water." Mr W. Harries proposed the toast of Trades Unions. He was pleased at being able to say that all who were there were Trades Unionists. They knew what the Society meant to them, and the assistance it was capable of rendering when difficulties arose. Without a doubt, they were the cream of Trades Unionists in Ponty- pridd. In seconding, Mr Walters said that the words Trades Union to his class were a source of joyful pleasure, and a sound of har- mony and music. They had heard a great deal said about Trades Unionism at the present time. but he wished to know what would be the state of the working community were it not for this unity amongst them. Some people had callecy Trades Unionists agitators; that title was quite erroneous. They had only com- bined to defend their own rights and guard against imposition.. More unity was wanted amongst shop assistants; they had been apa- thetic in the past and blind to their own wel- fare. The feeling was becoming more preva- lent every day, that unless they combined no- thing (remained but the downward grade. Working men in sympathy with Trades Unions should be supported in gaining seats on their public bodies in order to champion their cause. Employers said that their associations were to protect their interests. Trade Unions did the same for the working man. He hoped that these dinners would be the means of bringing unity amongst them, and become an annual affair. 1 Mr John Waters, who also responded, said he was pleased to see that the miners of South Wales had been led into the belief of joining Trades Unionism. In doing so, they had put the last screw in the coffin that would bury disastrous strikes. Messrs Hindes and James Davies obliged with songs, and Mr J. W. John gave a humor. ou.; anecdote. The Trades Council of Pentypridd" was proposed by Mr Robert Sage. The Chairman responded. He was pleased to note the hearti- ness displayed in the proceedings that evening. In reference to the toast, he was asked to re- spond to, it was' apparent that there never was a time when workmen required to council to- gether more than tho present. When there were such serious organisations taking place amongst capitalists, it wa-s time for them to prepare armaments for war. Nothing was more gratifying than the fact that more atten- tion was now being given to Trades Unionism and they had it from very good authority that Trades Unions and Trades Councils were be. ginning to tell. Even such an important per- son as Lord Hamilton was turning one side, and such estimable gentlemen as Lord Weymess and Sir William Thomas Lewis had said that something should be done to stem the tide of Trades Uions. It was a flattering tribute to them that people like those men- tioned were coming out of their shells. If their power was beginning to be felt when only one-ninth of Great Britain was organ- ised, what would be the power when the other eight-ninth came in?The working men really cast aside their strength, and were unaware of the power they could sway. He was very pleased in finding that the wave was getting more forcible; it must be so when capitalists were admitting the fact. They had not come by a long way to the ninth wave yet. What was wanted was to get working men to realise the power they held to work for their righ, and to claim them. A great deal had to be done. and they should apply themselves ener- getically to make Trades Unions a predominat- ing power in the government of the country.. Mr John James, who also responded, said he was glad to see that the Trades Council was still alive and a power in Pontypridd, al- though certain people had tried to kill it.
