A letter was read from the Llandovery Board of Guardians with reference to a petition which was 'received against the resolution of the Committee to extend the Girls' Intermediate School, Llandovery, and convert it into a mixed school. Mr. Mervyn Peel proposed that the letter be old on the table. The extension of the school would bo of great benefit to the Llandovery district. i"e hoped the Committee would proceed with the natter, as the pians had already been passed. Mr. David Davies (Rhyblid) said that pub ic opinion throughout the Union was against the -scheme. They, as ratepayers, and several prominent educationalists were strongiy against it. No cue. knew the the school was to be mitd43 a mixed one. He moved that they defer the work. The Chairman said that he did not think they could go back now. The scheme had been wid-IY advertised, and they had decided upon it. The -present action was rather belated. The motion should have come on when the County Council w iconsidering the scheme. Mr. David Davies said that no one dreamt that rthcy were going to extend the school and spend another £ 3,000 after they had already spent £ 5,0CQ on a Council school at Llandovery. It -vas ihougjt that the managers had plenty of accommodation. Mr. Peel said that Mr. J. R. James was strongly in favour of extending the school to get more accom- modation. They all knew what an interest Mr. James took in it. and how he was in touch with tho feelings of the people of the district. He was very .anxious to get the scheme through, and Mr. Peel would be sorry to see it fall through now. It would only increase the rates by barely 3d. in the h. Mr. David Davies questioned this statement. In answer to CoL Morris, the Clerk said that no objection had been received to the scheme when it was approved by the County Council. They were I now advertising for tenders. Mr. Peel's motion to go on with the work was agreed to. AGRICULTURAL, TEACHERS. The Cardiganshire Education Committee wrote urging that public funds should be expended to a further extent in the promotion of the teaching of agriculture in the college schools of the Princi- pality. THE BORDER DISPUTE. A report of a sub-committee who had inquired into the question of sites for tho erection of new schools at Furnace and Halfway in connection with tho Llaneliy border dispute, wits referred to a special meetin" of the County Council to 00 held to-morrow (Saturday). MEDICAL INSPECTOR S CRITICISM. The Board of Education submitted a report rela- tive to a conference their inspector (Dr. Newman) had with members of the committee on the medical inspection of school-children. The Board said they were satisfied that more efficient provision would be made if a whole-time schools medical officer were appointed, with such assistance as might provo to be necry, and that the expenditure under such a scheme would, in all probability, not exceed that involved in the present system. The passing of the Housing and Town Planning Act, however, rendered arly reorganisation of the public medical services of the arta. necessary. and the Board, therefore, recog- nised that the authority were not in a position to deal separately with the question of schools inspec- tion. On the understanding that the arrangements would be reconsidered in connection with the ap- pointment of a county medical officer of health, the Hoard were prepared to approve, for the code year now current, the present arrangements, with certain modifications. The Clerk said that he had replied that the Committee would carry out these additional require- ments. The Rev. J. H. Recs understood that, medical offi- cers did not visit schools tor carrying out examina- tions without first giving due notice. It that, was so he thought that the object in view was not curried out. In his opinion that rule should be altered be- cause there were a good many negioctful parents who, if they had notice of the doctor'* visit, would make their" childreu elt-azi that morning without troubling about. them another morning. The Board's suggestions viere agreed by the Com- mittee. GARDENING CLARES. Grants of JS5 each were made to 10 schools for the pumose of forming classes in gardening. APPOINTMENTS OF TEACHERS.
