Editorial Notes
Editorial Notes Mr. Griffith Garadog Jonas, sou of the great Caradog of choral fame, has signified his intention to the Cardiff University College authorities to endow a. musical scholarship at the College. He has, not laid down any definite limitations. The suggested scheme drafted for his approval, and which was submitted to the Council of Cardiff College last week, was a general one, and any applicant would be eligibly qualified to enter for it. We must say, however, that we should be glad to see the opportunity limited to 'H. _H., H..c< .1-.L.1_;]_- 1- n>uxy Y.L,.Itg jjd ,MJii WlJU iia-a ctiit?a.u<y ttiiiHYji the gift of conductorship. It must not be forgotten that Caradog, whose memory the scholarship is meant to perpetuate, was par excellence a conductor. He was a pioneer, and maintained a pre-eminent reputation in the musical circles of Wales for many years. The position accorded him as the conductor of the Welsh Choral Union, which first gave the world an insight into the characteristic choral gifts of Welshmen at the Crystal Palace on two successive and successful occasions, will for ever establish the, fact that he was, when in his prime, a veritable Saul among the prophets" of conductors. The internecine rivalry prevailing among choral conductors existed then, as, un- fortunately, it exists to-day. Even this mutual policy of destruction did not affect Caradog. He towered above all, and thus his claims to the position of the representative conductor of the Princi- pality was conferred upon him. Happily for him, his shrewdness was also actively applied to the business of life, with the result that his son to-day is able to place the name of his father on a pedestal of 'perpetuity at many future eisteddfod and choral festivals. We urge that this scholarship should, as an experiment at any rate, be limited to those whose aim will be to make proficiency as conductors of choral societies. Wales needs such men. The army of singers in Wales is very large, but its failures is not due to the singers so much as to the officers who lead the Welsh choristers. When societies choose conductors, and not conductors gather singers, we shall have a better class of chorus and glee societies. If this scholarship can reveal and culture the potential gifts of embryo conductorship. and help such to widen and broaden, and that through a Caradog benefaction, then Welsh choral pre-eminence of the future will have the most permanent reasons to revere and keep green the name of the musical Caradog; of the days gone by. The report of the Director of Education for last year opens full of optimism. "The past year has been one of considerable advance both in the attendance of the children and the quality of the work done in the schools." The growth of the Rhondda has been rapid, and it is reason- able to believe that to supply concurrently the school accommodation for the 30,000 children on the rolls, it is a tax upon the best administrative skill of the Gommit- i tee. Evidently, reading the report, there is every evidence that considerable enthu- siasm for education nermeates the official staff and members of the Committee. In every department of the work, extension appears to be the controlling necessity and desire. There will soon be a new Secon- dary School at Eerndale, and another Higher Elementary School erected in Mid- Rhondda—a district which has been too long overlooked in this respect. We are 2;lad, therefore, to know that the insti- tution is something more than a discussion and is a fact which only awaits the coming of the builder on the spot with his bat-ch of workers. The Evening Schools con- tinue to do good work, but the numbers in attendance are capable of a much larger roll. This Rhondda ground has an immense population of young folk who should be seen at the Night Schools. It is time. too, that compulsory attendance of the youths should be a law. Scotland. always in the van. is again leading the way. -The sooner the schools of Wales are under the same enactment, the better will it be for its future citizens. We are glad to note that the Committee have under consideration the two important qustions of educational preparation designed by the establishment of Domestic Schools, and the extension of Handicraft Schools. These are the prime urgency of the hour. The great majority of the girls return to the home to assist and ulti- mately control its domestic routine. It would be practical wisdom to give a very much larger attention to these domestic subjects. These are the technical sub- jects for 80 per cent. of the girls in our Elementary Schools. They are the foun- dation subjects of the home life, and their neglect perpetuates the existence of home routines which all clear-thinking people view with sadness and alarm. The last six months of the girls' school career should, very largely, be occupied in the domestic department of the schools, and less time given to the ordinary syllabus of the upper standards. At the present time, two hours a week represent the full time given to this practical direction. If rightly done, it should mean every afternoon during the last year for Needle- work, Cookery, Housewifery, and Domestic Economy. Four instructresses cannot cope with the importance of these subjects. There are about twelve centres ready built, and some of them only used about once a week. Again, the 700 or 800 under instruction only receive two hours a week each. It is only fringing the question, and, therefore, we earnestly hope that the consideration of the question will evolve a greater and more general oppor- tunity for preparing the future miners' domestic partners. Much the same criticism can be passed on the Manual Instruction for the boys. It is one of the best educative subjects in the whole code of subjects. It is not theory, but practice. It is not an abstract but a concrete subject. We are only able to touch one or two phases of the report this week. It is, indeed, most entertain- ing to the expert, and absolutely under- standable to the man in the street." The report should be read widely, for we are quite certain that its contents will win much commendation for the Committee, while it cannot fail to elicit a wider appreciation towards Education and all that is comprehended by its spirit and mission anions the neonln/ J;; J: ¡-

On returning, evidence was given by Mr. Nisbett, the general manager, who expressed the opinion that the accident occurred through the driver driving at an excessive speed. He, however, gave Patrick O'Connel, the driver, an excel- lent character," saying he was absolutely the best man he had had, and nothing had happened to cars driven by him pre- viously. The Coroner, in summing up, directed the jury to consider whether upon the evidence the driver had gone at too great a speed; that is, beyond the four miles an hour specified in going through points. If he had, it was a serious thing for him. Personally, he (the Coroner) took a strict view or these cases, as the public were entitled to protection. The jury returned a. verdict of Man- slaughter against the driver.
