The proceedings of the North Wales Methodist Association were continued at Denbigh on Thursday, the Rev. Edward Griffiths presiding at the Oon- fsrenoss. Is announcing thatithe Association's Anti-Popery Committee had now completed the work entrusted to it, Mr Peter Roberts (St. Asaph) called attention to the peculiar position of portions of Flintshire in regard to the spread of Roman Catholicism. No part of Wales, he said, required more attention than that portion of Flintshire lying near and around Holywell, where the Roman Catholics had their colleges and convents. Owing to three oauses-tbe weakness of many Protiitant churches, the strength of the Roman Catholics, and the spread of the English language-grive danger threatened the existence of the ohorahes, and the Committee recommended that particular attention be paid to the distriot named by the Flintshire monthly meeting, the Lancashire Presbytery, the Home Mission Committee, and representatives of the Association.- (hear, hear). The Rev. Ellis James Jones, sesretary of the Home Mission Fund also touched on the gravity of the question, and inoideataily remarked that the Roman Catholics were seoating maoy converts. They obtained situations for Prostestant children in distant places, and it was to be feared that in the long run those children baoame converts to the Catholic faith. The Committee's recommendation was acted upon, and a vote of thanks passed to it.
FLINTSHIRE TEACHERS.
FLINTSHIRE TEACHERS. THE "STAFFING" CIRCULAR HEARTILY APPROVED. The county organisation of the National Union of Teachers for Flintshire held their annual meeting on Satnrdav at Rhyl. At a public meeting Mr A. Rhydwen Jones, Chairman of the Urban District Council, presided, and waa supported by Mr Rhys Nicholas, a Welsh representative on the Council of the Union, and others. The Chairman said he hoped they would before long seoare the holding of the National Union of Teachers' annual conference at Rhyl (applause). Some ratepayers in that county, he added, were disposed to blame the teachers for the alleged increase in the rates, but they were ignorant of the facts.—(applause). Mr Rhys Nicholas said that, of conrs*, ia bulk education was a big cost, and the rates in many assis fell heavily upon the wrong people, but there was a considerable proportion of the population who had no just cause of complaint. The ideal of education was the teaching given by the mother to her child, where there was one teacher to ona pupil. In the secondary schools of Flintshire there was one teacher to twenty scholars. In the elementary schools of the oounty there was one adult taacher to every 34 scholars. That would not be so bad if each adult teaoher had been properly trained and cectifloated, but of the 445 teachers in the county only 179 were certificated. In the Board of Education's circular 709 it was proposed that no certificated teacher should be set to taaoh a claea of more than sixty children, and the clasees of the teaobers of leaner qualification were to be limited in proportion. Each uhild differed from every other child for every minute of its life, and one shonli put oneself in the poeition of a teacher who faced a class of sixty children. He protested as a taaoher against any attempt being made to get the circular withdrawn and he was depressed in his own mind, as a Walsh- man, that the representatives of the Welsh education authorities who met at Llandrindod this week passed a resolution calling upon the President of the Board of Education to postpone the changeet set forth in this oironlar. He was pleased to notice that only one lepresentativei of North Wales waa present.- (langbter and applause). The requirements of the circular had already been exceeded by most of the authorities.—(applause). Mr Nisholas made a calculation which showed that in that county the education in the elementary sohoolg cost no more than three farthings an hour per child, everything included. What a cry there would be from the music teaohers if they got paid at that rate 1- (laughter). If the Welsb elementary schools were staffed on the same basis as the English schools there would have t.) ba 1,067 more certificated teaohers, whilst on the same basis Wales had 1,397 more uncertificated teachers than she would have, and also 1,308 supplementary telichers. Mr RUMimau when ha referred the other day to the backward authorities which he desired to bring into line, must have had some Welsh county ia his mini--(laughter and applause.) Oa the mction of Mr J. W. Conoell, of Connah'e Quay, seconded by Councillor Fred Phillips, of Rhyl, a resolution was unanimously carried devHrioar that the meeting was of opinioin tbat the valuable reforms foreshadowed in oironlar 709 would greatly increase the efficiency of the schools.

BAGILLT. SBUP STAEBBD.—A Boy's UMFOBIUNATB FALI,— Last week a boy named Victor Davies, of Blodwen terrace, was whittling a atiok with his clasp knife. He van after his companions holding tbe open knife in his hand, and tripping as he went along, fell on the knife the blade of which penetrated his chest inflicting a deep and dangerous wound. The boy is now recovering. PARENTAL NEGLECT OF CHILDREN. At a special sessions, at Holywell, on Saturday, before Messro Samuel Jones and A. Earl, Mary Elizabeth Roberts, late of Bagillt, was brought up on warrant, charged under sec. 12 of the Children's Act, 1908 with neglecting her tour children in a manner likely to cause them unnecessary suffering and injury to their health.—Mr J. Karioot Roberts, Holywell, appeared for the prosecution (Inspector James, Denbigh, N.S.P.C.O.), and ststed that the defendant was charged under section 12 of the Children's Act. She was charged jointly with her husband. The case came before the court on May 3rd last, but neither husband not wife appeared and warrants were issued. The warrants had been exeouted against the female defendant, but not against the male defendant. He suggested that until the police were enabled to exeoute the warrant against the male defendant, that the female defendant should be remanded on her own reoognizances. She had given the Inspector the assurance she would go to the Workhouse where the children would be well taken care of, until the prosecution was in a position to bring both defendants before the court.-Police. constable Owen Jones stated that he received the defendant into oustody from the Denbighshire police the previous evening.—Inspector James said he knew the defendant and her husband, and had had the case under observation few some time past. About mid- day on the 13th of April last, in consequence of com- plaints he visited the defendant's house and found four of the ehildren in. The children were aged 10, Si. 5 and 2-10 yeara respectively. Their general condition waa bad; they were almost asked and showed evidence of the grossest neglect, and in his opinion their neglected etato was likely to oansethem injury to health: The house had hardly a stick of furniture, a table and an old bench was all he I saw, and the sleeping aaoommodation was simply chronic." There was very little food in the house) and the children had not had any breakfast when he called between twelve and one.-The application was granted, and the defendant was admitted to bail on her own recognisances to Holywell Workhouse, pending the arrest of her husband. LIBERAL PIONIO AT PENYBRYN, Last Saturday afternoon, under the auspices of the Bagillt Liberal Club, a pionic and political meet- ing were held at Penybryn, in a field lent by Mr Ed". Jones, Gronant. There were a large number of people is the field, where a variety of raoai were organised for nominal prizes. The lately resuscitated Bagillt Band was present and played for danoing in a very creditable manner* Ia one part of tha field tea was provided, which was well patronised. In the course of the afternoon political addresses were delivsred. Mr Stokoe, of Bettisfield Colliery, pre- aided, and the meeting was aupported by Mr J. W, Summers, Liberal sandidate for the Flint Boroughs, who was accompanied by Mrs Summers, Mir James Rowlands, M.P., for Dartford, Kent, and honorary seeretary of the Land Beform Association, Kv A. M. Ralli, CO. Ms E. A. Hughes (Liberal agent(, Ac. The Chairman having opened the meeting and introduoed the speakers, Mr Summers delivered an address, in which he said the Government bad been beset by great difficulties but had passed some useful and benefioent legislation. He congratulated the miners of Bagillt that they had ssoursd at the hands of the Government the Eight Honrs Bill, and he trusted that the eroakings of their opponents that the passing of the Bill will lead to enormous increase in the price of Goal to the consumer will not be realised. He believed by better organisation, and it needs be, by great emergy, amongst miaera themselves that they will be enacled to win the eoal in the future, so ihat the Eight Honrs Bill will not be the oause of an noreased tax upon the oonsnmet of coal. It was to exjpeoted there will be some little difficulty in adapting the change in the working in the mines, but he trasted that there will be as little friotion and inconvenience as possible, and that the change will prove a benefit to the miners and people generally. Referring to the Budget, Mr Summers said they must support the Chancellor oi the Exchequer against the uareasonabla complaints made. He (himself) might complain that Mr Lloyd Georpe had increased the tax on mostor cars (laughter) i It was very easy to complain, but the money had to be found for strengthing the Navy, for payments of Old Age Pensions (the most popular act ever passed) and for the necessary funds of the country, and who were mora able to bear the increased burden to the greatel, extent than those who had the broad acres and much accamuiated wealth (applause). There was one question dear to the hearts of the poople of Bagillt-the question of the Disestablishmet of the Church in Wales, The Bill had been introduced into the House of Commons by Mr Asquith, the Prime Minister, and the second reading was promised. The question of Disastablishment had been before the Principality for the last to years, and had grown in strength until to-day every member of the Welsh constituencies were pledged to support the Bill, They must watch carefully the passage of the Bill in Parliament, as he had said the second reading was promised in the next few days. They did not know about the ultimate stages of the measure, but be felt confident that the Government was as anxious to pais the Bill and send it up to the House of Lords as they were in BagiUt, that it should be done. So long as their leader, Mr Lloyd George, was ia the Cabinet, he (the speaker) had every confidence in the Government upon the question (hear, hear). Mr James Rowlands, M.P., delivered a lengthy address dealing with a number of subjects of political interest, and at the eloss Mr G. P. Edwards, O.U., proposed, and Mr A. M. Ralli, C.Q., seconded a vote of thanks to the speakers for their interesting addresses. Mr Summers aad Mr Rowlands responded to the compliment, and a vote of thanks was accorded the Chairman for presiding. The meeting concluded with a request from a reverend gestlemen that three cheers be given for Mr Atqaith, Mr Lloyd George and Mr Herbert Roberts," Lord Roberts asked the Chairman laughingly, and the cheers were given.
