Lever, the great soap magnate, is setting a good example in philanthropy by giving all the damages awarded him against the Daily Mail" and other Yellow Press publica- tions to the good work of education. How we would wish to see the day when the merchant princes of South Wales would go and do likewise. The Cardiff Univer- sity College sorely needs endowments in order to supply the growing needs of its development. The greater part of the P,91 0,00 damages awarded Mr. Lever has been given by him to the Liverpool Uni- versity. His action is unpriece ente-d in many ways, and if all the money that is spent on the publication of false state- ments were diverted to education, how much better would the land be. His other benefactions will go towards the promotion of a School of House Planning, the School of Tropical Medicine, and the School of Russian Studies. Ui,¡. Mr. Beddoe Rees, Cardiff, gave splen- did service to the cause of Liberalism on Monday evening at Tonypandy when he delivered the inaugural address to the local branch of the League of Young Liberals. We are glad to see this move- ment gripping the youth of the country generally. Wonderful progress has been mada in the formation of branches in South Wales, in particular. The move- ment is essentially educative, and that among the younger section of the com- munity. There is no denying the fact that the older Liberal Associations had become practically mere spasms of organ- isation, for they had long ceased to be educative. They were organised gather- ings used to plan campaigns for electioii times, and, unfortunately, in too many .cases had been monopolised by a few to further personal ambition. The League of Young Liberals will be, first, educative and held together with an effort of regu- larity. After a reasonable course of education and discussion, the members will be equipped with something worth the confidence of presenting to others on the main road. People must be got at. They must be waylaid where they con- gregate, and at the street corners they can be found. Where this plan of work- ing is carried out the result is marvellous and the Liberalism we used to know and feel with such enthusiasm will be revivified and made strong and wholesome. The democracy of this country must wake up if the triumphs of our fathers are to be retained. The powers of money and lordly seductions are lavishly applied to dull the intelligence of the masses. "Dant am ddaIlt" is the policy in poli- tical methods, and such movements as the League deserve every encouragement. All Welshmen were delighted this week to find their countryman, Sir S. T. Evans made President of the Divorce Court. Though we have lost a favourite politician from the Liberal Party, the country as a whole has received a good new Judge who will shed lustre on the Bench. Of. course, in the regular way it is a political pro- motion. The arena of. nolitics loses a clever and doughty fighter, but despite the croaking of the Tory Press, the appointment is a popular one, for Sir Samuel was a shining light in St. Stephens. He has made a brilliant Solicitor-General, and a seat on the Bench is the natural conclusion to a brilliant career both in politics and the law. Sir Samuel, too, will have the advantage of seeing the working of the law both as a solicitor and a barrister. The success of Welshmen during the last few years has tfeen remarkable and stirring. It has awakened the potentiality of young Welsh- men, and the inspiration of many of our recent successes means greater industry and energy on the part of the coming race. Wales, politically, through the long tenure of Tory power, has been kept back, but the reward of fidelity to the popular principles ruling in the Principality is having a compensating outlet, and more will come. There is no denying the fact that the breaking up of the negotiations in the coal crisis between masters and men is a bad sign to work out hopeful prophesies of ultimate peace and concord. The general public cannot be eliminated from the calculation, as they will have to bear the brunt of the result. To those in the schools, and who work day by day with famished scholars, the situation s viewed with horror and dismay. The teachers know what it is to labour against the grim giant of empty stomachs and to see the devastation in the faces of the little children. It is a fearful contemplation, and made the more intolerable from the experience, of the past. As events look to-day, we are drifting, and drifting hopelessly. When the process of con- ciliation is in progress we are sustained by the hope that the differences will be conciliated, but we have no such comfort in the situation to-day. The fateful day -31st of March—is upon us. We cannot hope that with the masters and men apart, and, as it were, in the attitude of ''tools down," to get over negotiations in so short a time and in the hostile spirit of mutually arguing that the ultimatum has been issued. How we would hail with delight a Lloyd George interposition as in the railway crisis. Even there at the eleventh hour the calamity of a lock-out was averted. It is urgent, therefore, that an effort should be made to extend the 31st March so that time for reasonable peace overtures can be carried. This, surely, is not impossible, and the decision might apply retrospectively. Better wait for three months more, and even a longer period, than plunge the coalfield into the confusion and chaos of an industrial struggle. The very shadow of it to-day is doing damage It would be ten-fold worse now when trade is on the upward grade and the cycle of prosperity is coming along. We tender no advice on the technical points. Candidly, we have not studied them, but we broad-base our' appeal on the progressive fact that the men's leaders and the masters' represen- tatives are animated with the honest wish and are skilled in the work to arrive at an amicable solution. If also the men's leaders have restricted powers in the negotiations, then the men are handicap- ping their leaders. If the leaders are untrustworthy, then fire the lot out; but we think they are not. and believe that when these restrictions are imposed, it is the result of premature ambition in certain members of the rank and file. Leadership under such conditions is in- tolerable, and, therefore, a futility in practice. Miss Margaret McMillan has written a i useful pamphlet dealing with the subject of school clinics. At the last conference of the Guild, which has .26,000 members, a resolution was passed that a great num- ber of poor school children needed physical care and such regular daily attention as can only be given by school nurses acting under quialified men and women doctors. The Guild branches are now arranging meetings in various towns to arouse public interest in the whole question of school clinics. For propaganda purposes Miss McMillan's pamphlet will be of great value. She is full of enthusiasm for the new life in our schools." The clinic, she explains, is not a hospital, but a nursery of the poor." And she points to the success of the experiments at Devon's Road Schools, Bow, and the Bradford Schools, where clinics have been estab- lished. The latter now treats 4,000 to 5,000 school. children a year, and of these the great majority are cured. The clinic has eleven rooms, including an X-ray room. and a dentist's room. There is also a nursery in the school, with plenty of hot water, brushes, &c. The cost of maintenance is £ 378. The County Council elections generally reflect Glamorgan just as it was. The party of progress have had another con- firmation service. In the Rhondda a new Councillor is sent for a new division, and the old batch reinforced by the .aggressive Dr. Thomas. Councillor Wm. Evans is a type of one of the most successful busi- ness men in the Rhondda, and such a fertile, enterprising mind cannot but be an acquisition to the sum total experience of the Council. Dr. Thomas will go there with valuable knowledge of the Education. problem, and what is better, with a hearty Welsh nationalism which will propel the movement of giving Welsh children the most complete, equality of opportunity. We have not been in any way reserved in our good opinion of the Glamorgan Secon- dary Committee. It has always showed a most harmonious spirit, and in justice we say that Dr. Morris, also a member now for a new division, has done splendid work. The two doctors should remove the Rhondda grievances. Mr. Price, in the Pentre division, failed to unseat Mr. E. T. Davies, who romped back with great triumph. We hope that our Rhondda County Councillors will energetically assert the claims of the Rhondda first and foremost. The County Council is a bad bargain for the Rhondda at the best. There is no question that the Rhondda is strong enough and able enough to manage its whole local government, and it is an anachronism that such an anomaly should exist. Our District Councillors should be urged to hasten up Incorporation of the Rhondda. It is playing with a great principle to dally much longer. In the meanwhile, our County Councillors should see to it that the Rhondda gets from the County the best possible return for its present large contributions. The Secretary of the Church Defence Committee says that there is no ground for Churchmen to be discouraged by the results of the recent elections. We can only say that he is thankful for very y f small mercies, considering that the Church party everywhere pute forward their utmost strength. Several* o: the Bishops, while disavowing party politics, urged Churchmen not to vote for any man who was in favour of Welsh Disestablishment, or the settlement of the Education ques- tion on the lines suggested by the Govern- ment. Mr. Tilby, the secretary of the defeated Tory candidate of the Flint Boroughs, discreetly refrains from giving the number of Liberals who gave the assurances the Bishops required. Up to the present moment we have been unable to make any discoveries in this direction. Mr. Tilby admits that in Wales. 28 suc- cessful candidates mentioned religious equality in their addresses. He might have added that every Tory candidate was pledged to support the, and that in every constituency the battle was fought by the Tories ■on this issue. Yet even in two doubtful constituencies they were only able to gain narrow majo- rities of B and 14 by the tieip of non- resident voters. Mr. Tilby urges that the, large Labour majority m Merthyr was not necessarily hostile to the Estab- lishment, but, Mr. Keir Hat die is pledged to Disestablishment, and so is the Liberal candidate, who headed the poll with 15,448 votes, while the clergy did their utmost against both of them and it has evidently not occurred to Mr. Tilby that. in spite of the Bishops and clergy, there are Churchmen in Wales who worked hard for Liberal candidates and voted for them because they wish to see the Church set free. Miss Bessie. Jones' triumphant debut at the Judge's Hall. Trealaw, was.with- out a doubt responsible for much of the success of the evening, and reftoowthe utmost credit upon her teacher at the Royal College of Music. It is safe to predict that Miss Jones will emulate the example of some of iier successful forerunners, such as Mr. kor Foster, Miss Amy Evans, Mr. Spencer Thomas, v and several other WelshvücaJisrts who have won renown and who to-day stand in the front rank of the profession. Miss Bessie Jones' future career is assured once and for all. ats such a beautiful tone as she produced in the concert at Trealaw could only emanate from the lips of a bom artiste.
Local Talent Matinee.
Local Talent Matinee. There are over forty entries already received by the management ofr the Tony- pandy Empire for their second amateur matinee competition which takes fplace next Thursday, the 17th March, so that there is every probability that it will be even a greater success than the previous oris. The doors will be open at 3 o'clock, and the competition will commence at 3.30. The nrices of admission are the same as usual.
Performance of" Esther " at…
Performance of" Esther at Tonypandy. [By Our Musical Critic, j Performances of Bradbury's cantata, Esther," were given on Thursday and Saturday last at the Judge s Hall, Tre- alaw, by the Moriah (W.B.) Chapel Choir, under the conductorship of Mr. Ted 'Hughes. It is so many years ago that one has heard this popular cantata performed, that a renewal of the acquaint- ance, with its simple, tuneful melodies, was very heartily welcomed. In these modern harmony days, it is a, pleasure indeed to hear something that is pleasing to the ear; something that sticks to us, and something that is simple in its great- ness. The work was performed in full character, and although it was very evident that the stage did not allow of an adequate representation, still, the spectacular effect was very pleasing. Pos- sibly the success would have been greater had the choir been reduced to a half of its size. Here, of course, comes the diffi- culty of a chapel choir conductor. Whom was he to leave out? Much dissatisfaction must naturally arise if any are refused the privilege of appearing-before the audience. However, when one considers the difficulties under which the choir i laboured, the representation was entirely successful. In one respect, indeed, the concerts were more successful than similar ones attended by the writer, and that was in the singing of the choruses. The ex- pression always received attention, every- thing being sung artistically, as could have been expected from one who has had such a successful eisteddfodic career as Mr. Hughes. The chief parts were taken by the fol- lowing:—Miss May Moses ("Esther"), Mr. David Davies (" King"). Mr. Robt. 0. Jones (" Haman "), Mrs. Ted Hughes Zeresh and Mr. Ben Ivor, R.O.M. (" Mordecai "). Here we had a very capable caste, whose singing was good and whose histrionic ability was above the ordinary. Vocal honours must be given to Miss May Moses and Mr. Robert Jones. The latter was especially good, his ren- derings always being given with intelli- gence. Mr. David Davies had a right- royal presence, and the efforts of Mrs. Hughes and Mr. Ivor were frequently much applauded. The leaser parts were also well sustained, the singing of Mr. Tom. Charles being worthy of iiote. .The banquet scene was very successful and also a great attraction. The perform- ance of the children here was very praise- worthy. the s-everal movements being well done. The limelight enhanced the spectacular effect in many instances, in spite of its being utilised under disadvantageous cir- cumstances. The Saturday evening per for mane e went with a swing that was really a triumph for those behind the scenes.. The accompaniments were played on the piano- forte and organ by Misses Hughes, Peny- graig, and Phillips, Trehafod, respec- tively. Dr. Idris Morgan presided at the second performance.

Death of Mr. A. Leek. Weli-knowri, Choir Conductor*. An interesting personality has passed, away in the death of Mr. Arthur Alfred Leek, 291, Cemetery Road, Trealaw.

At the time of his death ho held a position as inspector of the London, Edinburgh and Glasgow Assurance Com- pany, and had been working under the company for the past 12 years.. Mr. Leefe was well known in local musical circles. his ability as a conductor, both of orches- tras and choirs, being highly appreciated- At one time he conducted a male voice partv. and was also conductor of the late, Mid-Rhondda Orchestral Society, ajid led them to victory in the National Eistedd- fodau of 1901, 1902 and 1906. He was presented witn. an illuminated address upon the dissolution of the orchestra- Mr. Leek was a most faithful member o* Bethel (E.B.) Ohurch, Tonypandy, ano occupied the position of superintendent^ the Sunday School and choirmaster. funeral talses place on Saturday next.
