SUNDAY SCHOOL UNION. BARRY AND CADOXTON BRANCH. The annual public meeting of the above Union was held in the Wesleyan Chapel, Holton-road, on Thursday, the Rev W. D. Lee Cann in the chair. A large number of Sunday School workers were present, the feature of the evening being an address by Alderman Meggitt on The Sunday Schools of America." During his recent trip to the sister land Alderman Meggitt said he visited several Sunday Schools with no less surprise than pleasure. There was so much novelty; so many sign* of progress; an utter absence of conservatism. The school buildings—there is nothing like them in this country-are spacious and well lighted. The classes are not huddled together in incommodious comers of the building, but the children sit on chairs (benches are un- known) in a semi-circle round tbt-ir totteb. Each class being thus under eaeier control, the orderly and systematic working of the school i- lomething to be envied. The teachers include people from all grades of life-the professor working side-by-side with the humblest artizan. Pictures and diagrams illustrating the lesson are plentiful, and help greatly to increase the interest. The spirit of emulation among the scholars is strong; it is fostered by the award- ing of badges of honour for regular attendance, and special merit marks for diligence and devotion to duty; in short, no expense in esteemed too great, and no method is left untried which will help to make the Sunday School what it should be,—a power under Heaven's direction to fit the child for hie eternal destiny. America has far out-stripped us in the race for improvement; yet we must not forget that success is not achieved by mere material advancement, but by the over- powering force of love. This is the teacher's greatest weapon, the one essential to success. Mr Meggitt was listened to with the greatest interest, and received the hearty thanks of the meeting. The proceedings were followed by an enjoyable coffee sapper.

BARRY SCHOOL MANAGEMENT COMMITTEE. The meeting of the Barry School Manage- ment Committee was held on Thursday evening in last week, under the presidency of Mr John Lowdon, J.P, the chairman, there being also present-Captain R. Davies, Drs P. J. O'Donneli and W. Lloyd-Edwards, and Messrs David Lloyd and Peter Wright. HOPE. Miss Gwenllian Morgan, Holton-road Girls' School, and Miss Bowles, Romilly-road Girls' School, applied for an increase in their present salaries, and urged this on account of ex- perience, but it was decided to adhere to the scale until next November. A similar fate befell applications by Miss Ellen Williams and Miss Margaret Ann Brown. APPOINTMENT. Miss Annie Fitzpayne, of London, formerly engaged at Dulwich, was appointed a kinder- garten teacher under the Board, upon her application. USURY. Letters were read, by which it appeared that the Public Works Loan Commissioners required Sf per cent interest, instead of 3i paid formerly, while Messrs E. 0. Preston and Co., of the Pru- dential Assurance Company, offered a loan at 3t. The last-named was accepted.—The Chair- 4 man I don't think there is any immediate prospect of cheap money.-Captain Davies Not for the next 12 months at least. PATRIOTISM. Inasmuch as the next meeting of the Board falls on St David's Day, it was decided to bolri the meeting on the previous evening, in ordt-i to allow local patriotism to have full play. WAR. A letter was read, signed by the Rev L. Ton Evans, Rev W. Williams, Mr J. Spargo, Mr J. Pemberton, and Mr J. Hill, asking for the loan of the school for the purpose of holding a iioi, political open conference to discuss the South African war.—Captain Davies lCaid a re-olu ion existed prohibiting this practice.—Dr Lloyd Edwards did not considerable it advisable. M. Peter Wright: Especially after the experic-ne- at Romilly-road Schools. I am in favour of lending the school under ordinary circum- stance?.—Dr O'Donnell pointed out that lectures on co-operation were allowed and where could the Board draw the line of dis- crimination ?—Dr Lloyd-Edwards proposed that it be refused, and this, having been seconded by Captain Davies, was carried.

Belgian Locomotives for Barry. FIVE ENGINES EXPECTED. The fivo engines ordered by the Barry Rail- way Company, says the South Wales Daily News, from a firm of Belgian manufacturers, are expected to arrive it a few weeks. Mr Dobbs, the deputy superintendent of the loco- motive department, has aready been on a visit to that country inspecting the manufactured parts of the engines prior to their consignment for Barry. It will doubtless be interesting to learn that the American-made engines in use by the company are spoken of by the officials as being satisfactory.

Barry Ministers' Fraternal Association ELECTION OF OFFICERS. At the annual meeting of the Barry Minister* Fraternal AasocitioIl, held at the residence of the Rev Ben Evans, Tynewydd-road, Barry Dock, the following gentlemen wpre elected the officers for the ensuing year: -President, Rev H.

EDUCATION AT BARRY. OPENING OF HANNAH STREET SCHOOLS. PALATIAL SET OF BUILDINGS. SPEECHES BY LOCAL GENTLEMEN. The seventh school building erected by the Barry School Board during its comparatively brief career was formally opened on Saturday in he peemence of a large gathering. The schools in the Board's district have cost altogether ov r £ 100,340. The school at Hannah-street, erect.d at a cost of X13,400, including cookery a ;d manual instruction schools, from designs pie- pared by Messrs J. P. Jones, Richards, and Budgen, of Cardiff, the contract having been oarried out by Mr Alban Richards, of Barr\ Dock. THE OPENING CEREMONY. The opening ceremony was performed by the entrance to the Girls' School, where Captain Davies, on behalf of the architects, presented the chairman of the Board, Mr John Lowdon, J. P., with a gold key to open the door. The last-named gentleman, in doing this, expressed the hope that for all time tb.-r would remain upon that spot an institution devoted to educa- tional purposes. Among those present to wit- ness the interesting proceedings were—Drs P. J. O'Donneli and W. Lloyd-Edward*, Messrs J. Rees, Peter Wright, and Rev W. Williams, members of the Barry School Board Mr Jenkin Llewellyn, chairman of the Penarth School Board; Mr Jaokson. clerk to the Cardiff School Board; Mr Gwyn Morris, clerk to the Barry Board; Revs Aaron Davies, D.D., Ben E^ans, W. Tibbott, W. D. L. Cann, J Llechidon Williams and Mrs Williams, L. Ton Evans, J. Williams (rector of Sully), Mrs Lowdon, Mrs R. Davies (barry), Councillors K. B. Swith-Jones and Evan Jones; Mr Edgar Jones, headmaster of the County Schools; Messrs E. J. Thomas, J. Felix Williams, J. Budgen (architect), Alban Richards (builder), the Misses Meredith, Mr mid Mrs A. Poynton Newman, and the chief members of the teach- ing staff of the various schools in the district, including Mr T. Higman (Holton-road), Mr Whitehouse (Barry), and Mr T. Ewbank (Cadox- ton) Misses Fleming, Wood, Carr, and Messrs E. T. Williams, J. E. Thorpe, R. T. Evans, Wood, St Helen's School, &c., &c. INSPECTION OF THE BUILDINGS. The buildings were inspected throughout, and their generally complete character favour- ably impressed those in attendance. The staff had been busily engaged in the work of decoration, the whole of the school buildings presenting quite a gay and comfortable appear- ance, while examples of the work of the scholars in the prosecution of their art studies interested not a few, as they were represented on the dado blackboards. The pictures and studies in natural history, zoology, and general knowledge of a most modern kind, were all the cynosure of many eye.s in the course of the inspection of the buildings. MEETING IN THE CENTRAL HALL. Subsequently all gathered in one of the central halls, where speeches were delivered by members of the Board. Mr J. Lowdon, J.P., who presided, referred to the disappointment felt at the inability of Sir George Kekewich to be present on the occasion, but that hon. gentleman had been very much interested in Barry. Mr Legard, her Majesty's inspector, had also written from London in terms far too flattering for repetition of the work of the Board, and regretting his inability to be present. Alter recounting the experience of the Board, and their decision to erect the present schools, and also their effort* to make them thoroughly up-to-date, the Chairman declared that the Board had used their cumulative experience in the building of the proposed schools, and in the management of their schools, and so f.r as they had known how, they had brought them up to modern requirements. He hoped they were all satisfied with what had been done. The Board were conscious of some failures, but these they would remedy next time. Gieat credit was, however, due to the architects for the very I.eift ot and complete way in which they had carried out the Board's ideas in the schools. They bad carried out the instructions given tjem very perfectly, and they had nothing to complain of in that respect. (Cheers.) In going over the buildings they all doubtless felt, a* he felt, very sorry that they could not go to school again, because they would go to Hannah-street t^chool. (Laughter.) The Chair- man then referred co the marvellous changes thai had taken place in the methods of educa tion ouring the past 40 or 50 years, when any man Wag good enough to be a schoolmaster. It was not so long ago, too, that a child was looked upon as a Gladstone bag, into which had to be crammed abstract knowledge, undigested and indigestible. To-day they were all treated as humau beings, and every God-given faculty was improved, so that there was perfect unison. (Cheers.) What the effect of present-dHy education would be on the future generation they could not fully realise, but it would assuredly be enormous. Children who would be the future men and women of the British race, equipped under present methods in the schools of to-day, would worthily carry for- ward the great traditions of the Empire and make the people of England great. (Cheers.) A. great dtal bad been said about Continental methods. In some cases their methods were better than ours, but, speaking generally, if they treated a child as a human being, and not as a machine, they were on better lines in their schools to-day than they were on the Continent. (Cheers.) Mr Gwyn Morris, the clerk of the Board, then read a detailed description of the build- ings, as it appears in this report. Captain R. Davies, the vice-chairman of the Board, who was next called upon, hoped that all parents present were pleased with the provision made for their children in the schools. These schools would be the museums of the future, and as they had no art gallery in the town, the School Board, with all their kicks and bumps, would endeavour to make up this deficiency. (Hear, hear.) By means of these pictures he felt convinced that children were unconsciously being educated. It was necessary, however, that all parents should send their children to school as regularly as possible, before the schools could be regarded as a pro- nounced success. The question of irregular attendance was one of the most difficult they had to deal with, and attefidance should be the especial cart, of parents. (Hear, hear.) Dr W. Lloyd-Edwards having repeated the uld saying that in every soldier's knapsack there was was a field marshal's kit, declared this to be only another way of declaring that every boy educated in these schools had a possible euauce of becoming something great and noble in the land. (Hear-, hear.) The Chairman had outlined the ideas of the Board in the matter of education with regard to those schools. They were especially adapted for the more modern methods of education. A great wave of feehng had arisen here, which bad been begun in America, to indicate that there c was something wrong in the system-there was to,) much iiitohfinism, or head learning, while uther chief faculties were neglei ted. The •-yt- -.lH1 the halld .should be trained, 80 that w n a bov had passed through the school he n greater ap'itude for the work of ht. life. Physical training had been belaudei by iiusk.n, h1>0 cit ciaied, in regard to then- national education, that in sp. nding money upon it they ought to make by it—not more n.oney, but better men, and by means get ,nto thrii -sland the gr,atent number of goO'l 011 gr at ^ng.if«hujen, These ought to be (sur 4ui>ut>y a wonb." (Cheers.) Mr John Rees, who was next called upon, dwelt upon the difficulty experienced in the matter of attendance. Attendance officers were an unfortunate necessity, and the greater number of officers they appointed the greater the insult to the intelligence of the people, who would not, or could not, see their way to know what was for the benefit of the nation at large. They looked too much to the £ a d, the small profits and quick returns, but no profit could come to either the Board or the parent, unleas the children were sent regularly to school. Those schools were palatial, while not being ornate; but it was uuless having them without the co- operation of the parents in making them a success. (Cheers.) Mr Peter Wright (who was referred to by the Chairman as not the least enthusiastic of the members of the Bonrd), when called upon to speak, said he was very proud to congratu- iate them upon the grand investment which they had added to the district's assets. To bis mind, one of the finest things in the country was to witness an addition made to the public institutions devoted to educational purposes, because, as a gentleman told him in Bristol the other day, if they went to a great city and wanted to find the slums and dens of evil and wickedness, let them go as near as possible to Cathedrals. But wherever schools are estab- lished, wickedness and crime was rapidly dimish- ing. He maintained that educational bodies had failed to learn the great lesson of providing the human machines with adequate fuel before putting them into use. if their future genera- tion were to become a credit to them as an Km pi re, the least they could do was, not only to train the mind, but to see that that which gave energy and which created life, and was essential for education, was provided for the children. He was sorry to tell them that in London they bad 55,000 children atending school every day that were under-fed. If they failed to-day in doing this duty of I feeding the body of children they would have to maintain those at a much greater expense at some future time, because that was the source from which they received all the criminals and wasters found in society to-day. Personally, he did not wish to make himself conspicuous in thus foisting such matters upon them, but he knew that children attended school under-fed, and as long as he had a voice he would raise it on behalf of the little ones. If the parents fniled to do their duty to the child the law ought to apply a remedy, because no parent was justified in training a child which would become a stumbliBg block and a detriment to society at large. If a parent did wrong, should a child miffar for thn mins iif t.h.. nuttif 9 .1" (Hear, hear.) This concluded the meeting. M" ..} SOCIAL TEA. The whole company subsequently enjoyed five o'clock tea in the Infants' Schoolroom, the several lady teachers being assiduously employed in promoting the enjoyment of everyone who attended. In the evening, at the schools, the teachers themselves held a social gathering and dance. OFFICIAL DESCRIPTION OF THE BUILDING. The new schools provide accommodation for 1,300 scholars, exclusive of the accommodation given in the Manual Instruction School, divided up as follows:- Girls (including cookery school) 476 BOY$ 420 Infants 404 Total. 1300 The school is situated on the corner of Barry- road and Hannah-street, with the main build- ing fronting Barry-road, the Infant School approach from Hannah-street. The builoings have a warm and attractive appearance, the elevation being of Star briok and Bath stone dressings. A special feature of the schools is the central halls, which are 60ft. long by 26ft. wide. The larger classrooms can be divided up, if necessary, by movable screens; no room will have more accommodation than for 60 scholars. A special feature in these bui dings is that there is no open fire-places, excepting iD the teachers' room, the heating and ventilation having been carried out on the Musgrave- Plenuui system, in the same way as at Clive- road Board Schools, fresh air being drawn down through a high shaft carried up above the buildings and drawn through a screen and then warmed by passing over heaters and forced by a rotary fan to every part of the building, thus fresh and filtered air is continually passiug into the schools and the vitiated air pumped out. The air in the summer can also be cooled by passing through a water screen. A novel feature is that a blackboard dada has been introduced throughout the rooms and halls for demonstration purposes. The co-st of the build- ing is about C 13,400, including cookery school and manual instruction school. Another feature is the introduction of means whereby the intention of the headmaster may be accom- plished in introducing systematic teaching of general elementary science in a thoroughly practical manner. The schools are furnished in an excellent manner for assisting in the training of the young in natural history, zoolegy, geography, and general knowledge. SCHOOL STAFF AND NUMBERS. At the present time there are 250 infants, 261 boys, and 213 girls, making a total of 724, Mr J. E. Rees, late headmaster of the Pupil Teachers' Centre, being chief of the boys' de- partment Miss Frazer of the girls' depart- ment and Miss Hirons of the infants.

BOARD OF TRADE OFFICES AT BARRY. WOODEN SHANTIES TO BE CLEARED. EXTENSIVE PREMISES LEASED. The whole of the temporary wooden structures on land adjoining the railway station at Barry Dock, including the Customs and Board of Trade Offices, will shortly be vacated pre- paratory to proceeding with the erection of a new railway station and square. It has already been decided to erect the new Customs and Board of Trade offices on a site already com- pulsorily purchased at the corner of Dock View-road and Station-street, but both depart- ments will be temporarily located in premises! secured on the corner of Sydenham-street, in the same thoroughfare that they at present abut upon. There seems no probability of an immediate start with the larger new offices referred to, and the likelihood of their being completed within the next couple of years is very remote. The Shipping Federation offices will, it is believed, be removed to Sydenham- street, in close proximity to the shipping offices.

PROFITABLE SUNDAY AFTERNOONS REV C. H. SHAVE'S LECTURES TO WORKING MEN. A FRESH START. On Sunday afternoon last the Rev C. H. Shave, pastor of the English Congregational Church, Barry, commenced a series of lectures to working men at the Romilly Hall, Barry, which he hopes to continue each Sunday. Mr Morgan Nicholas presided, in place of Coun- cillor Captain Hamilton Murrell, unable to attend through indisposition. Mr Shave commenced by reviewing the ground covered by the lectures in the past year, the subjects they had dealt with, and the benefit they had been to his hearers. He wished them to make a fresh start along those lines, and he urged any who had not started in the way he had been speaking—in the way of progress, education, religion, liberty-to do so. They were to start with fresh earnestness and vigour. There were those present who had tried; some had failed; perhaps there were those among them who squandered their weekly wages in gambling or in the public- house. Those men were not in the way of progress no more were the men who neglected their education. He urged them to be religious, to pursue Christianity, be sober and honest. If they 80mmencerl to be so, it would be a fresh start, but true progress. The speaker asked them to take a real interest in life. He believed that in many Socialistic i circles, where men were studying out the problems of their social life, there was a great' danger of them ignoring that most important department of human life-the home; the place where the truest principles of progress were carried out. He was afraid that in the home the master too often came to regard his wife as his housekeeper, and had little but hard, unfeeling words for her. In married life it was necessary to make a fresh start-to return to the old daws nf --J w W* VCijr frequently. He believed then that the children would grow up purer, stronger, and manlier. Mr Shave said that he wished young men especially to make a fresh start. He would like them to study social questions, and to study them carefully. There were men who stood at street corners who talked about Socialism, but the majority of whom, he believed, knew very little about true Socialism. He would like them to take up a good book on political economy-or any other subject bearing on the matter-and study it thoroughly. In that way only could they be of real service in their civic life as citizens. He had a horror of the Christian who, when some great civic question was before the public, cared only for the prayer meeting, and when he ought to be giving his vote and influence in the right cause to be found at the prayer meeting. The prayer meeting was but the source of power, and enabled man to lead a Christian life, and better fitted him for his work as a citizen. It required pluck to make a fresh start, and, curiously enough, at suoh times men, instead of meeting with every encouragement, were dis- couraged in every way. Some men determined to give up the drink; others to follow a line of high moral conduct, They would find it hard, very hard; but let them make a fresh start, and go at it with all their heart. This dis- couragemeat was noticed when a man came out of gaol. Nearly always, instead of helping the man to make a fresh start, people would avoid him. He called that policy damnable. It was a damnable poliey, when a man was down, to keep him down. Let them always strive to help him, and keep him going forward. In conclusion, how could they hope to be true citizens except they attended to the im- provement of the mind ? They would then be of true service to one another. Those who did not go to any place of worship could make a fresh start in that direction. There was a much greater passion to help their fellow-men in the churches than men had recegnised. If they went to church they would have more self- respect, and would be stronger and better men. Let the start be vigorous and brisk. There was a great deal in a hopeful start. He was glad to think that their soldiers in the war had made a fresh start, for it took a great deal of pluck to make a fresh assault. With the same courage let them fight their battles at home. If they made a strong, fresh, truer start, they would take an interest in their fellow-men, and the whole world would be better for their efforts. (Applause.) Several hymns were sung, Mr C. Rowlands leading at the piano. This work is carried on independent of the Rev C. H. Shave's pastorate, and as last year the expenses were met by the collections sub- scribed by the workirg men, it ill hoped that the same success financially will attend the meeting this year. The subject next Sunday will be: The Bible and Labour Problems."

Generosity of Dinas Powis Dancers. The Dinas Powis Calisthenic Class has just wound up a very successful season, and with a good sum in hand. This they have generously distributed among the following objects:- S2 21 to the National School managers. j 11 Is to the Barry Nursing Association 10s 6d to the fundi of the Reading room and each to the two local freopers, be-sidaii voting an amount of £ 2 21 towards a testimonial to be presented to the energetic hon. secretary (Mr R. Cram).

Wounded with a Glass at Barry. GAPING WOUNDS. On Thursday at Barry Dock Police-court (before Mr 0. H. Jones, Alderman Meggitt, and Councillor J. H.

FOOTBALL NOTES. [BY ATMLITI. Saturday's game was, to use the words of Picken, more like water polo than football, with the differ- ence that a man was occasionally the ball. • Porth started the game at the Buttrills with all the spirit immaginable. They say there is a great deal in a good start, and but for Green at the crucial moment saving, the game may have ended very differently. The Porthians never recovered from that oheck. • The state of the ground may be easily imagined after the heavy fall of snew, hail, and rain, oi the last week. Notwithstanding this, the teatris soon warmed up, and a vigouroulI fusilade was kept up on the enemy's goal. Mitchell scored first, and in a few minutes had four other shots at goal without effect. Occasionally the visitors managed to reach the other eud of the field, but were always out- matched. • • Sheldon played very hard in this game, and had some good shots, bat Cullum was always alive, although not impasiable. Just before the close a penalty was granted Barry. InaLead of shooting, Green passed, and Callsghan failed to shoot. A succession of scrummages round the posts resulted in King scoring the seoond goal. • In the second half the visitors became quite care- less, with one or two noteworthy exeeptions. Among the Barry men Perey Jones, the Reserves' mau in the place of H. Jones, played much better than he often plays in his own team. I. Sheldon, Green, and Mitchell play". hard, and did not allow laziness to ob ain possession of them, other- wise the result of the game would have been differ- ent. Mitchel and Thursby scored the remaining goals, the final score being—Barry, five goals; Porth, nil. • • • The Reserves also played a League mateh against the Reserves of Perth on the letter's gruuarl. They were badly beaten, and this was principally owing to the weakness ef their backs. Their forwards were all tbat could oe aesirea. Th, Porth boys all round, however, were a far superior team. The final seore was four goals to one. < An inter-league match between teams represent- ing Penarth, played a like team representing the Barry Schools, on Saturday morning. Penarth had the advantage all through, and came out winners by four goals to two. < < The victorious Cadoxton United team visitsd Cardiff, and were just doubled up Ity tho Juniors of Splott, who extracted four teeth. The United, however, managed to get two from this club, which is reckoned a crack one. The Seconds were also defeated at Cadoxton by the West End to the tune of seven goals to three.

THE DISGRACEFUL PEOPLE. This Met has a large number of adherents, who are probably more sincerely what they appear to be than the members of any other denomination. Their presidents are Bacchus and Atfe, and they are most zealons in conferences, having as many as two a week, which, owing to several causes, are I -A generally held in the Policce-coarw 01 "II country. Owing to the growing power of a rIVal sect, named for some peculiar reason the Teetotalers, the Bacchanalians are not as they used to be, nor ia their doctrine so universally accepted in sooiety. At the conference held on Monday several mem- bers spoke, for which at this conference they are fined. Their names are llliam Moore and Jame. Scott, fined 2s 6d each George Parr, Thomas Feeney, Joseph S. Robinson, and Thomas Harvey, 5s and Joseph Brough, Janels Ferrell, Valden Hersen, and Thomas Moore, 78 6d. The conference required the attendance of ty illiam Evans and Thomas Delling, who have inaportant motions to move, and a warrant was accordingly issued. 1.. u f fu named Thomas Phipps, con- tributed 10s to the conference fund. Phipps had been advanciDg the principles of his sect in Holton- road, the language there used had been taken down on paper by Police-constable Gill, an* produced in wan. it was what is described as obscene laa- guage. Hence the fine. THB DOGS, Only three people were summoned on Monday namely, Messrs Cresswell, Rees Phillips, and Ivo; Mordecai, and each fined 5s, for allowing their dogs te go about improperly attired, j

-H THEATRE ROYAL, CADOXTON Mr James Russell, long connected with the Theatre Royal, has now taken over its manage- ment, and it is hoped he will prosper in his new venture. For the delectation of play- goers this week, be has secured Lord Cecil Barrington and Mr P. H. Neville, Company, The Silent Witness." This is a great sensa- tional drama, dealing with life in the Tratisysal, and it is sure to have a popular lun. The story has been specially writtea from an incident which ocourred in the Matabele War. The principal role is in the hands of Lord Cecil Barrington, who impersonates Mr Meredith, a retired merchant. Estelle Meredith, Phillip Meredith's wife (the merchaikt's son), is admir- ably acted by Miss Eva Elwes, and Jan Vedder, a typical villainous Boer, by Mr F. H. Neville, Estelle under the stone crushers is a great achievement, which must be seen to be under- stood Dronerlv. There i« n1Ar>f. ""I .A_4.- comedy, and a pretty Spanish dance is executed by Miss Ethel Gray, who in the play is Anita, a Spanish circus rider and dancer. This com- pany have gone to great expense in the production of The Silent Witness." There is a large caste, and it is hoped the company will receive hearty support from the residents of the district.
