----Medical Notes.
Medical Notes. We intend to publish each week a short paragraph entitled Medical Notes," in which we shall deal with some common ailments and how to treat them. Chilblains and how to cure them A treatment we have never known to fail is first to soak the hands or feet in water as hot as can be borne for 15 or 20 minutes-less than this is no use because it is necessary to warm the part, right through. For unbroken chilblains, well rub in Marvello for 10 minutes, and, if possible, bind up with Marvello 11 all night. If the chilblains are broken the water had better be only comfortably warm and Marvello applied on linen like a plaster, which should be renewed twice a day. Everyone knows how dim- cult broken chilblains are to heal. Our advice is therefore to cure them with Marvello before they do break, but if you are unfortunate enough to get them broken Marvello is the best and quickest oure. You can get Marvello at most chemists. 129

About the third year of my sufferings from rheumatism, I had a sore lip very much like cancer I was advised to try your "Hughes's Blood Pills "for it, which I did. When taking the third box I found the rheumatic pains leaving me, ot my great astonishment, so I kept on taking them, never dreaming that they would cure me of rheumatism but in six months' time I was able to take a journey of four miles on foot, when before I was quite a cripple, doubled up, and compelled to leave the police force, being unfit for active service.

Cwmparc.
Cwmparc. Dan Cupid has been indulging in con- siderable archery practice lately, and "repairhg" his ravages has meant the "pairing" for life of several young couples in our locality. An interesting wedding last Wednesday was that of Mr. David John Lewis, sculptor, Cwmpare, and Maw Catherine Jenkins, Emporium, Treorchy. Both the young people are much respected in the, district, and their union aroused great interest in the neighbourhood, the fair sex, especially, as ,is their custom from time immemorial, gathering in great numbers at Park Tc M.) Chapel, where the nuptial knot was tied by the Rev. Wm. Lewis. The wedding breakfast was partaken of at the home of the bridegroom's parents. The happy couple were the recipients of many presents, and we wish them every happi- ness and prosperity in their life at Aber- tridwr, where Mr. Lewis has a very suc- cessful' sculptoring business. Boxing Day saw the union of Mr. Willie Carpenter (son of the Treorchy stationmaster) and Miss Lill Jones, ly- fri Conway Road, Owmparc. Mr. V. C Jones (the bride's brother) was best man, and Miss May Middleton was bridesmaid. The ceremony was per- formed at the Old Parish Church, lon- Pentre.

Rhoqdda County School.;
Rhoqdda County School. Annual Prize Day. Encouraging Report by Headmaster. Inferior Intermediate Schools- An Insult to Wales. The. annual distribution of prizes and certificates of the Rhondda County School, Porth, took place at Moriah (C.M.) Chapel Ynyshir on Wednesday, the 21st inst., Dr. T H. Morris, Tylors- town, presiding. There was a large attendance. The Chairman, in the course ot his opening address, said he was exceedingly proud to bo chairman at the annual ciis- tribution. Prizes and certificates were coming year after year, which showed that the Porth School was occupied by capable students (applause). It was a great credit to the school that so many students had qualified, and made such a record as 80 per cent, passes, and he could compliment the students and teachers for having accomplished such marked distinction. The Rhondda County School stood as one of the best, in the kingdom (applause). This year, the effioiency was still as good as in the past. The Governors had been doing all in their power to keep up the record of the school, and gave every facility to the teachers. An Engineering Department was in construction, and when this was .completed, the technical side1 of educa- tion would he well looked after. It was a great need in a mining district. The school could boast of an excellent staff, .and lie congratulated them on their ex- cellent work. The headmaster was quote famous for his hard work (applause). He (Dr. Morris) wished him long life to en- able him to carry on the work of the school (hear, hear). Regarding the divi- sion of the school into boys and girls, the speaker said that the change was about to take place. The contract had been given to Mr. Chas. Jenkins, Porth, at a cost of £ 1,200, and he, had every hope that it would be ready in twelve months The present accommodation of the school was 350. That number of scholars had increased, and another building was necessary. A great question at present was home lessons. Complaints had been received that the scholars were getting too much homework. In some schools, children had to give six or seven hours to this, but he was glad to say such was not the case in the County School. The system prohibited such long hours for .homework. He did not believe in giving more than one and a half hours to it. The brain required rest. Thinking all day was much harder than any muscular labour, and it would be regrettable if the students were spoilt by too much home lessons. But the Board of Education was already looking into the matter. An Insult to the Principality. The Board's report upon the Inter- mediate Schools of the Principality, he proceeded, was an insult. He felt sorry that the Board should go so much out of its way to do a thing so scandalous. He was sure there were no better teachers in any country, and it was an insult to call the Intermediate an inferior quality of education. Sis hundred and seventy pupils from these schools had graduated for a university course of seven years, 112 with first class degrees. Ninety had qualified for Oxford and Cambridge. Seventy-two had obtained First Class Honours in the University of Wales during the last nine years. One old pupil had become Professor of the Man- chester University, another in Notting- ham, six in Yorkshire, and 409 had obtained good appointments in • English schools. Hence there was no foundation for the scandalous report of the Board of Education. He thanked those present for their attendance, emphasising the need of their presence at the apnual dis- tribution to encourage the pupils. Headmaster's Report. The headmaster, Mr. E. Samuel, M.A., in submitting his report, said he was glad that a member of the Governors was dis- tributing the prizes. The attendance from the beginning, of last year had in- creased. on the previous year, as it had ,done almost every year. It had so in- creased that it had been decided to make a, division in the school by building a girls' school. The scholars were increas- ing, and the staff had worked with might and main to develop the school. An Engineering Department was in course of erection, this being the first school in the county to be technically equipped. Many old pupils were already engineers but they had been greatly handicapped "without this great need. Boys of our own district were wanted to do our own engineering work, instead of bringing engineers from over the border. The school had also been improved in the commercial line. Scholars were now able to qualify for junior clerkships of the Civil Service. Another interesting item was the levelling of the field at a cost of ZCIOO. It was essential for a Secondary. School to equip for the physical side. This recreation ground, and the gym- nasium already provided, would ensure physical fitness. The report of the in- spectors on the girls' gymnastics was:- The girls were very smart and had good carriage." » Gratifying Results. Examination results were very gratify- ing, especially those of the top forms. Eight out of ten had qualified for univer- sities Five had won scholarships of £ 40 and £ 45 for three years,, and in some cases four years. One girl had won t50 per annum for three years to qualify as a gymnasium mistress. Another boy had passed the Oxford Local twenty-seventh in the kingdom and first in drawing (ap- plause). Fifteen pupils had passed Senior and thirteen Junior Central Welsh Board. The staff consisted of nine mistresses, seven masters, as well as five visiting teachers. Most of these teachers had very high honours. Mr. Samuel expressed his hearty thanks to the staff for the ex- cellent way in which they had carried on their work. Present-day Dangers. There was a danger he said, that Welsh people were losing to some extent their enthusiasm for education. They put too much stress on making educa- tion practicable. But in the endeavour to feed the body, they must not forget the brain and soul. Parents were divided into two classes. Some wanted their children to be commercially trained, while others sent their children to the school for the sake of education only. The parents should train the children in such a manner that would sb v them the duty of home in relation to school. They should teach them to be regular in their homework, punctual and regular in attendance, to bear neat appearance, and not to excuse them from homework or meritorious punishment. They should not encourage slackness by giving too much help in homework. The parents should not tolerate school tales based on irrever- ence for school authorities, nor should they listen to supposed failings in the teachers. Nothing made a boy more loyal than to know that his parents were in sympathy with the school, ;%id there was nothing more encouraging to the teachers than to know that they were backed by the pupil's home. But the school had no right to take up a boy's leisure; the home lessons should not monopolise his whole time. The staff and the parents should set apart a time to discuss the prospects of their children, and take the parents into a kind of partnership (applause). New Scholarships. The prizes were distributed by Mr. W. J. Thomas, J.P., Brynawel, after which he addressed the meeting. He said he was very proud to fill the posi- tion he was in that evening. He con- gratulated the school on its report of good progress, and its splendid success at examinations. The school served both Valleys well, and he had had the plea- sure," in company with Mr. John Kane and Mr. Thos. Griffiths, of giving his advice regarding the metal workshop for the school, which was the first of its kind in the district. "It would fit the boys for good positions.. Mr. Thomas announced his intention of living? £ 10 in prizes for the gills and also for the boys for the future session, and £ 5 5s. in prizes for metal work (applause). Councillor Thos. Samuel, Ferndale, pro- posed a vote of thanks to Mr. Thomas, commenting on Mr. Thomas' good quali- ties. He hoped the prizes would stimu- late the scholars. Dr. T. H. Morris seconded, and thanked Mr. Thomas for his donations. A vote of thanks was accorded Dr. Morris for presiding, proposed by Alder- man Morgan Williams, and seconded by the headmaster. Musical selections were rendered during the evening by the School Choir (under the conductorshin of Mr. Tom Price, M.I.S.M., Merthyr). Solos were given by Master W. J. Evans. A violin solo, "Traviata," was excellently rendered by Master A. Husbands. Mr. David Jones, M..I.S.M., accompanied.
