LLANKiHANGEL-UWCH-GWILl CHURCH. A discu-siou arose over the charge of Is. a year which it had been decided to make in the case of Llontlhangel-u weh-gwili Tor leave to erect part of tho building on a roadside waste. Mr. W. J. Thomas said that the Society which was giving part of the money would not make a grunt unless the property were freehold. A 1eng-thy discussion took place, in the course of which it was pointed out that similar were made in the ease of other places of worship. Mr. J. S. Williams paid that he would move that, this charge bo remitted if the same were done in the other cares referred to. This was agreed to. ST. CLEARS BRIDGE. Mr. E. Morgan (surveyor) produced a plan for the widening of the bridge near the Bash Inn. St. Clears. Mr. B. R. Thomas proposed that the work bo done. Mr. John Jones seconded, and this was agreed To. It was decided to procure tenders by that day fortnight. ALLEGED ENCROACHMENT. The committee which had visited the alleged en- croachment near 33orfabach, Laugharne, recommen- ded that the fence be allowed to stand on payment of a rental of bd. a year by Mr. W. Davies. Mr. Daviee attended before the Council, and con- tended that it was no encroachment. He said that it was quite off the road, and he had occupied it for 14 years. The Surveyor (Mr. E. Morgan) said 1-hat. he was sorry Mr. Davies had altered his mind since the committee had met. If they allowed people to en- close land which had never been enclosed before thev would have plenty of similar cases. Mr. W. Rees said that perhaps the putting up of the bank would improve the appearance of the road, but he objected very much to the plantinir of trees there. Mr. E. Morgan said that he had been blamed because he had not prevented the enclosure. Mr. W. Davies said that it had all beer, donp in two days. Tho Council then deliberated in private, and at the close informed Mr. Davies that they had decided to rarry out the report. The Clerk said that if he did not agree to pay the 6d. the Council would remove the hedge. Mr. Davies said that ho would let them know liLs decision that day week. A CONWIL ROAD. )1! John Davies moved that, they accede to the [ request of the Conwil Parish Council to tukt, over the road from Yetgoch to Nantyrhesg. Mr. W. J. Thomas suggested that the matter bo deferred as Mr. B. Phillips, the other member for Conwil, was absent, and they were always at. logger- heads. They had better defer this until after the election. Neither of the present members for Con- wil would come back. FINANCE. The CJerk presented the estimates for the half- year. For the highways the sum required was £ 2,969; Pencaerau Bridge, £ 150; and various other expenses brought the amount up to £ 3.343. For .sartitary purposes tho sum required was £ 207 6s. 4d.t making a total of 23,545. JU705 would be received, under the Agricultural Rating Act. and E28 in other receipts, leaving L2,312 6.. 4d. to be raised by a rate. This was an increase as compared with last year represented by about the amount- of tho cost of Pencaerau Bridge. A &id. rate would produce £ 2,809, but as they had a good balance at the bark they could do with a 6d. rare. It. was decided to levy a 6..1. rate. CARWAY WATER. Further correspondence'was received witt, regard to Carway water supply. The terms now offered 'were £ 1 a year to tho owner of one-third of the property and an acknowledgment of 2s. 6d. a year to the other owners.

LLANDILO BOARD OF GUARDIANS
LLANDILO BOARD OF GUARDIANS Tho fortnightly meeting of the Board of Guardians for Llandiio-tawr was held at the Shire Hall on Saturday last. Present: Mr. T. Davies (chairman), Mrs. M. A. Jones, Mr. D. W. Lewis, Mr. D. Davies, Mr. Pritchard Davies, Mr. W. Hopkins, Mr. J. F. James, Mr. Thomas Thomas, Mr. John Jones, Rev. J. Alban Davies, Mr. W. Roberts, Mr. W. Richards, Mr. Thomas Thomas (LLanfynyda), Mr. J. Llew- ellyn, Mr. \V. Griffiths, Mr. J. P. uiu.is, Mr. Evan Davies; also the Clerk (Mr. R. Shipley Lewis), Deputy Clerk (Mr. D. J. Morris), and other officials. On the relief lists being gone through, reference was made to a woman who had been granted relief, and it was stated the Collector (Mr. \V. Lloyd) had traced the soim and written to them, asking what they wore prepared to contribute towards the main- tenance of their mother, who had como upon the rates. Tho Clerk read the following letter which Mr. Lloyd had received in reply from one of them:— "Bristo], March 31 1910. Dear Sir,—Your letter of the 23rd ult. 'Re Parish Relief for Mother' to hand. I regret my inability either to look upon the matter from your view point or to appreciate the force of your agrument (a) It seems strange that you should desire to know what I am prepared to contribute towards the maintenance of my mother. And stranger still that. I should make any official of the Llandilo-fawr Union the agent of my kindness.. Of course, there can be but one answer to your enquiry. Whatever I am prepared to do must be a matter of secondary importance to tho Guardians. If I mis- take not your first and only duty is to see that the deserving within your jurisdiction is equitably looked after, and smce you have taken the initiative I shall make it my business to see that the right thing is done in this ca-e. Also I am a member of another parish, and contribute my share to the maintenance of its poor, and as such T cannot see that: I am called upon to help your parish discharge its duties. (2) You state in your letter that the Guardians have allowed my mother tho amount of 5s. a week for a fortnight. Let me put the case this way. f the per-on to whom you granted this small amount of charity was a deserving one, surejv you are neither justified in .reducing the grant, nor in stopping at the expiration of a fortnight. On the other hand, if the person to whom you grant was made was not deserving I shall be delighted to re- fund the money by the first available nost. Now, my dear sir. I shall expect your Guardians to con- tinue the grant, etc.—I am, most truly yours, T. D. Rhys." Tjpis letter was written on the official note heading of the hiifk'ld's Bristol Tabernacle Congrega- tional Chuich, pastor, Rev. T. D. Hhys. M.A., 6, Osborne Avenue, Ashley Down, Bristol." The Relieving Officer (Mr. Popkins) said the old woman came, to him last Monday, and told him the other eon living at Blaendwr, Gvvauncaegurwen, had been to her house on tho Saturday, and "kicked up a deuce of a row on account of having a letter from Mr. W. Lloyd, and said he would never meet the Loard. lie was a collier, and had no children. Mr. L. N. PbwclI- What amount do we give the old woman per week The Chairman—5s.

Mr. Powell-Ask 21> from each of thorn. The Clerk Uet 2s. 6d. from each of them, or bring it before the magistrates. Mr. D. W. Lewis thought that by the letter this preacher s know ledge of local affairs is not up to what we know. We ought to give him another chance before putting him in legal hands. I pro- pose we send to him again as we have the law on our a.nd ask him to pay. The Chalrman-Wo are perfectly sure he didn't get. the reasons for writing that letter from Christ's Sermon on the Mount.

CARMARTHEN SCHOOL OF ART
CARMARTHEN SCHOOL OF ART DISTRIBUTION OF PRIZES. The annual distribution of prizes to the scholars of the School of Art took place at the school on Monday evening last by Canon C. G. Brown, when Mr. P. J. Wheklon presided over a laTge gathering. During the day an exhibition of the work of the pupils was held, and was visited by a great number ot people who evinced the liveliest interest and ad- miration in the work shown, which was exceptionally good. Mr. Wheldon having at the outset apologised for the inability of the Mayor (Alderman Walter Lloyd) to preside, owing to a previous engagement, said the Mayor, like all tho leading people of the town, were in the fullest sympathy wuh the work that was done at the School of Art. He (Mr. Wheldon) was ex- tremely pleased to be tnere that evening to show his sympathy with the work that Mr. Jones (the headmaster) was doing (applause), No one admired tho work that he and the students were doing more than the speaker. He had been privileged to see trie exhibition of work done by them, and he was glad to see that there was distinct evidence of pro- gressive improvement, and splendid work was being done. Ho had ocular demonstration that it was no idle School of Art (applause). It had been said that, the Welsh people were not artistic in the real sense ot the word. He did not accept that. It was not that they were not artistic, but there was a lack of initiative, TIlO artistic temperament was there wnetner in diawiug or music. The reason for this was possibly that the sense of imitation and the power of observation was not developed in their chil- dren. Thuse ot them who had had experience in oealing wjlh the young children in their primary departments Knew iiuii the imitative powers were strong from about the aged 01 4 to 6 or 7, and as far as lie knew trie children of Wales had no oppor- tunity of using those powers, or if they did so, they were made tun of. The beginning was there, but it was not developed as mucn as it ought to be in Wales as it was in other parts of the kingdom. However, suoh schools as that, which were springing up in \V aies, were uoiug an incalculable amount of good, and he was very glad to be able to express his appreciation of them (applause). The headmaster (Mr. W m. Jones) then presented his lepon liS i01 lows:— The Headmaster (Mr. VV. Jones) in presenting his report for the session 1908-9 said:—:— Ladies and gentlemen,—I have much pleasure in submitting to you the report of the School work and results for the past session 1908-9. The number of students attending the classes of die school and registered for the Government grant was 90—24 attended the day classes only, 54 attended the night classes only, and 12 attended both day and night classes; of this number 34 were engaged in trade, and 24 teachers. The number of non-official stu- dents' registered who are also students of secondary and elementary schools on whom the grant may not bo claimed was 82, making a total of 172 students who attended the school during the session. Of this total 23 students were from districts outside the Borough. Ten works were sent to the National Competition at South Kensington, and 26 students sat for exa- mination in May, with the following results:— Freehand—6 first class and 4 second class. Model Drawing—7 second class. Light and Shade—2 first class, and 6 second class. Geometrical Drawing—2 first class and 1 second class. Per>ipectivo Painting from Still Life-3 second class. Design, Elementary Stage—2 second class. Architecture—1 first class. Three students having passed in four subjects will obtain the D. Certificate, and a free studentship at the school for one year renewable on further success. The results in Science subjects are as follows:— Building Construction—1 first class in Stage II. Machine Drawing—1 first class in Stage II. and 2 second class in Stage I. Through the kindness of Miss E. P. Hughes (Barry), a valuable exhibit of art work from Japanese schools of different grades was held at the school in October, which was very well attended. The trustees of the British Museum have gener- ously presented the school with a. folio of etchings of the French School.

Canon Brown said he had had a very pleasant duty to perform, and he wished to thank the com- mittee for having done him the honour of asking him to distribute the prizes that evening. It was a very interesting function to him, and certainly to those who were pupils and masters, and to those who received prizes. It was very pleasant to see and hear those who had not been so successful joining so heartily in cheering those who had. It is inter- esting to parents who arc keenly alive to the pro- gress their children arc making, and who are so desirous of having some assurance from those who can give it, that the sacrifices they make for tho education of their children are not made in vain. And it is most interesting to the larger public, who are neither pupils nor parents, but who are anxious that this country shall not fall behind other countries iH the matter of national education. Now it is a matter for consideration with anyone who speaks at such u. function whether he shall address the chil- dren, the parents, or the public, and it is a matter for fear, whether lie addresses one class or all, lest what he says should interest none. One's first thought is that Carmarthen ought to be both thank- ful and proud that, it possesses a. school of art, which not. only meets a pressing want, but which is of so excellent a character, and does its work so well. They had excellent, and well-equipped buildings. and these are not so common in Wales as they should be. He did not know why it is so, but it "is a fact that schools of art have not been built in Wales, and the efforts of the Board of Education to promote the study of art have not been welcomed in Wales to the same extent as in other parts of the king- dom. However, here in Carmarthen they had the buildings, and they had the equipment, but good as they are, they would be but of little use to them had they not something- more and something better. In iill matters of education the people of this coun- try have yet to learn that buildings and excellent I furniture are not necessities, but luxuries, and that it does not at all follow that, because they were able to look unon their school and college buildings with satisfaction, if not with pride, that therefore the people are being well taught or well educated. Very satisfactory education—that is very satisfactory preparation for life—for life's duties and life's happi- ness—has been given before now in classes held by the liedgo side. Many of the most distinguished artists of the past learned their business in turrets and "barns—their only tool some chalk, their canvas a bare wall or a barn door. Many of our most dis- tinguished scientists made themselves masters of their profession loboratories which a modern inspector would condemn in terms too severe to be contem- plated. Therefore let them not place their confidence ill buildings, nor suppose because their education authorities erect excellent school buildings, and keen them in good order, that they have done iheir duty. The most inijtortant factor in education is the tea- cher. and unless the toachers the authorities provide are masters of their profession, not only with suffi- eient knowledge to impart but, what is of far greater importance, with ability and skill to impart it. all the buildings they erect, and all the equipment they provide will be useless. And this is jusf where these authorities fail, and this is a matter which the parents should see to and alter. For after all, they wero the ratepayers, and they appointed the autho- rities; if they did not look after their own interests, their children's education suffers, and they were to blame. Well, here in this School of Art they had the happy combination of complete mastership of the subject taught, unusual teaching ability (which really is an unusual accomplishment), and, to aid all, enthusiasm for the work. Without this the school would be a failure; with this, they could not be sur- prised at knowing it to be so great a success. He was sure they all could wish that the benenis which the school confers were more widely appreciated" by the youth of Carmarthen. Not that there is much to complain of. Still, where benefits so great are to be enjoyed, it is somewhat sad to have to con- fess that there are so many who carelessly reject them. And now ne must say a few words to the pupils; and not only he, but he was sure that all in this room, wished very heartily to congratulate those who had been sucoessful in obtaining a prize or a certificate. But let him tell them that obtaining a prize at. an examination is often a matter of luck as well as oi meri., and that they must not suppose that because they had a prize, they were therefore finished artists, or that their work is so good that they could not do better. The prize must not them conceited, but should urge them to greater efforts, should kindle in them a desire to know more, to be able to do better. Happiness in life depends upon ability to work, willingness to work, and de- sire to do good work. He hoped that their success that day might lead them to determine to secure happiness in uiis way. But he must confefsthat his sympathies were always with those who had not suc- ceeded in becoming prize-winners. To have striven and failed, after honest effort has been made, al- ways saadens, and not unfrequentiy discourages, and this is an evil of the prize system which he feared has no countervailing benefit. However, if they were disappointed let them not be discouraged. Stick to their work work always brings comfort in its train, and would find more pleasure in the growing sense of improvement than in the posses- sion of a score of prizes. And now one word to the parents: They were naturally anxious as to the future welfare of their children, and believing as they did that their future happiness depends in a great measure on the education they receive, they were naturally anxious to have the opinion of some authority on the matter. And they had been led to believe that examinations are the test of education, and that an examiner's report would tell them all they wanted to know. He wished he could show them that nlgnt that this altogether wrong. The only person who could give them a true idea as to their children's progress is the teacher, and if they made him their friend, and trusted in him, if he is an honest man they would know all they wanted to know. For what could an examiner know of their child's progress? What could lie discover as to their child's knowledge? All 1 could discover is what their boy could produce on paper on a certain day an answer to the examiner's questions? The re- sult of an examination depends on so many things- the weather, the state of the boy's health, the kind of questions set. the examiner's temper and so on. He would engage to say that the result is affected by all these things, and it might be, particularly by the latter. As things were they could not do with- out examinations. They are an evil, but at present a necessary evil. The examination system has hin- dered education in this country as nothing else has; it set up a false idea of what education is; it com. pels the teacher to aim at preparing their pupils for examinations instead of for life, and to use methods they know to be wrong. Now what is the true aim of those schools of art, and what are the benefits which they should expect them to confer? They were usually told that pupils came there to learn to draw and paint, and apprentices are urged to attend classes on building* construction and machine drawing, because the ability and knowledge so gained will be of benefit to them in their occu- pations in life. And this is true. But this is not the real purpose for which these schools are estab- lished. The true aim of all education is to make life fuller, richer, and happier, and real happiness depended upon their ability to satisfy those desires which nature had placed in them. The desire for what is beautiful, the aesthetic sense, is a real thing, and tne impulse to gratify it is one that cannot be resisted. Theec schools of art foster this sense, and show us how it can be gratified. There was no happi- ness in life where there was no willingness to work, ability to work, and determination to put into their work what was best in them, to reproduce or create what is good and true and beautiful, and schools of art helped them to realise and to do this. In all their studies there their minds were fixed upon beauty of form and harmony of colour, and in time the true appreciation of these became part or their very lives, influencing their homes, their dri • their character, their manners, and their work ) that their lives became fuller, richer and happic.. These were invaluable benefits, and they might well hope that-schools of art would long continue to exert their excellent influence. At the conclusion of Canon Brown's remarks the Chairman said that all of them could take home'with them something to think over in what the Canon had said. With regard to what he (the Chairman) had said in his opening remarks about the lack of initiative, it was a fact that the lack of it in the musical art had put Wales at a standstill for nearly a century, there was no doubt about it. There were very few Welshmen who had achieved tho higher honours in music because they were simply imitators He advised the pupils of that school to'launch out on their own ideas, no matter what the people said. they had a God-given gift, and should make the most of it (applause). fr. B. A. Lewis proposed a. hearty vote of thanks to Canon Brown, and said that it was very refresh- ing to be told so clearly the deficiencies in educa- tion. If parents had only listened to advice of that sort, in the past, education would have been in a very different state to what it was in at the present moment. There had not been that interest taken in the school which it deserved. It was one of the oldest of its kind in the Principality, and there were very few of them. They were all indebted to Canon Drown for coming tlioro that evening. Mr. Spurrell seconded, and said that. Canon Brown was a. leading authority on the subject- of educa- lion, and what he did not know about it was not worth knowing. The vote having been carried with acclamation, Canon Brown returned thanks, and said that he had to thank them for the opportunity of being there. He had known the School for 30 years and remembered when classes were held in a very poor building opposite the church, and the huil<lin<T of the present school, and he had Matched its progress ever since with a great deal af delight. It had been marked by a great deal of progress to the present day. He had seen the work exhibited that" even- ing, and it was far in advanoo of that done when lie used to act as an examiner, so much so that he could not presume to judge them now On the motion of Mr. Henry Howell's, seconded by Mr A. Rowland Davies (the hon. sec.), a cordial yoro of thanks was accorded the adjudicators (Mr. F. V. Prer and Mr- n. A. Lewis). Mr. How ells re- marked they had proved themselves faithful servants for many years, and he hoped that for many years to come they would be able to impress them' into their service (applause). The Chairman moved a. hearty of congratu- lation with the headmaster and staff for the ex- celJent. work done, and this was carried with ac- clamation. "ïtlt a vote of thanks to tho Chairman, moved bv at ii- ;7onr's- an(1 seconded bv the Headmaster Jir. pi* Jones), and earned with applause, the proceedings terminated.
. IS YOUR SKIN DISFIGURED…
IS YOUR SKIN DISFIGURED ? COVERED WITH MATTERY PIMPLES. ZAM BCK ENDS A COMMON SPRING COM- PLAINT. Pimples, sores, and rushes on various parts of the body, but particularly on the face, neck, and arms, are the inevitable penalty of neglecting the skin in the Spring, when the pores get clogged through being overworked. All who value comfort and a good appearance will profit by the experience of Mrs. Elizabeth Borman, make daily dressings of the skin with Zam-Buk a special care just now, and po reap the reward of a clear and healthy skin. "Mattery pimples broke out on my left arm, came to a head, and then burst." said Mrs. Borman, who lints at 51, Brightmore Street, Sheffield, to a1 reporter. "1 tried home-made remedies which, how- ever, were too crude to do good. On the contrary. the inflammation got worse, and other nimples ai)- peared on my arms and in enormous numbers on the lower parr of my body. The itching was so bad I often found I had scratched the head., of The pimples away in my sleep and caused them to bleed. The doctor told me I had wet eczema. His ointments and medicines bring me anv relief, so I ga n" them up. Then. as one after another •heap ointment- failed, I lost hope and became quite dispiriied. It was agony to move about, and I found it impossible to do my housework with mv body covered with these wretched sores. I don't know what I should have done if I hadn't, been persuaded to try Zam-Buk. "Aft/T my very discouraging experiences with ointments I was surprised when Zam-Buk relieved the itching and cooked and soothed the inflamed sores almost at once. I saw That Zam-Buk must be much more than a common ointment, so I kept on with the dressings, which cleansed the sores and removed the dead skin. As the scabs oeeled off new smooth skin grew in their place. This wonder- ful skin-growing continued until Zam-Buk had cleared away every sore and left me with a ner- fectly healthy skin." So-called blood purifiers cannot get to the root of •cLin diseases. Nor can those coarse concoctions of nasty fat- and mineral notsons called ointments, saHes, and cream. Zam-Buk is the one pure balm that is naturally absorbed by the skin. Zam-Buk is a pttie and unique herbal healer and skill remedy, and the formula from which it is made is one of the most carefully guarded secrets of to-day. Beware of worthless substitute* and fraudulent imitations.
