Vide Press:—"It was with intense excitemeat that we at first watched this extraordinary act; ex- pecting every moment to see these Wonderful Per- formers fall headlong to earth. We were, however, soon in a fresh frame of mind, for it was clearly visible that these great artistes were past masters of the air. The ease and accuracy with which each feat was performed was strong evidence of t'nis. Their judgment was almost beyond comprehension- space, to an inch-time, to a second. So popular were these performers, that, only after responding to several encores were they allowd to leave the crowded arena." Exclusively Engaged for England at an Enormous Salarv.

ANOTHER EDUCATION BILL
ANOTHER EDUCATION BILL EVIDENCE is accumulating that the Government meditate yetl another attempt to alter Mr. BAL- FOUR'S great Education Act of 1902, which may affect adversely the elementary schools of the Church. It is true that in Lord HALDANB'S speeches on the subject he laid special stress upon "tihe importance of improving the system of secon- dary education, and of so co-ordinating it with ele- mentary schools as to bridge over the gap which at present exists between the two. And he may rely upon the support of the country generally, irrespective of class or creed, for any honest and well considered herno for this purpose. But the organised forces of political Nonconformity are already bringing pressure to bear upon the Govern- ment, and unless the LORD CHANCELLOR and other members of the Administration are prepared to disregard this pressure, a satisfactory result will not be attained. Unfortunately in this, as in other matters of even greater importance, the Government feels itself bound to truckle to the Nonconformist vote. Such, at any rate, is the im- preseion to be gathered from the speech of Lord Crewe last week. from which it may be assumed that the three points which the Nonconformist Parliamentary Committee urged upon the Govern- ment in regard to an Education Bill this Session, will be embodied in the new measure when it appears. The points are as follows:—(1) That there should be a Council school within reasonable reach of every child; (2) that the local authorities should be under compulsion to provide such school; and (3) that there should be a Government grant to the extent of three-fourths of the cost of this provision. It will be seen that the first of these points in practice revives the old demand, that the definite I religious teaching in Church schools should either be abandoned for a nebulous undenominationalism, satisfactory to Nonconformists- alone, or that a separate school should be built for the use of Non- conformists in every parish, even though not a dozen children of Nonconfomist parents could be found in such parish, and these had hitherto been satisfied with the religious teaching in the Church school. The second point roundly requires that the local authorities shall be compelled to provide Council schools however unnecessary in their judg- i ment, thev may bp.- whilst, tihA t'hi..t1 t1oTY"Aa 4-1.04- OJ" "L.t.I/ 11.&.4" most of the cost of providing these unnecessary buildings should bo thrown upon the Imperial Ex- chequer. and not upon the local rates. The object of this manoeuvre is of course obvious. Political Nonconformists realise that ratepayers will con- tinue to oppose as strenuously as they have done in the past the erection of schools merely to gratify sectarian spite. Hence the proposal to throw three-fourths of the cost upon the Imperial Ex- chequer in the belief that the expenditure would not be directly felt by those concerned. The resolutions passed at the meeting of the Free Church Council at Newcastle last month, showed that the political Nonconformists by whom the Council is dominated have learnt nothing and for- gotten nothing. Tne failure of the successive Education Bills introduced by Mr. BIRRELL, Mr. MCKEKNA, and Mr. RUXCIMAX should have taught them that the country as a whole is not prepared to crush out of existence efficient voluntary and denominational schools in favour of an undenomina- tional sysfem satisfactory to Nonconformists alone. Yet we find them urging the relief of the rate- payer from the obligation to contribute funds for denominational teaching and the removal of the present hardship in single school areas." The "Free" Churchmen concluded with some- thing in the nature of a flhreat, for one of the Council declared that "the Free Churches had made the triumph of the Government possible, and that they had been patient to such a degree that their patience had been misinterpreted." Intimations of this character addressed to a Coalition Government like the present justify a word of caution to Church- men in regard to any Education Bill introduced by the existing Ministry. It is evident that the policy of political Nonconformists has undergone no change, and there is little in the past record of the Government to encourage the hope that they would !-f,aTid out for the principles of equal justice to all classes of schools and the recognition of the rights of parents. It is all the more necessary, therefore, carefully to scrutinise their proposals relating to Education in the interests alike of religious equality, parental rights, and economical adminis- tration.
NOTES OF THE WEEK.
NOTES OF THE WEEK. Mr. H. O. Long Price saw several swallows on Friday last, 4th inst., while walking along rhe banks of the Towy. Probably these were the first of this season. A ■ of ^spondent also reports the earliest notes of the chiff-chaff on March 30tn. Re. cords of any earlier observations will be interestiiiz. About the best criticism of some of the suffragette extravagances passed at the time when certain of them were taking to chaining themselves up to rail- ings was the remark of the late Sir W. S. Gilbert. "Ah," said he, "we shall soon have respectable old gentlemen chaining themselves to the railings of Queen Charlotte's Lying-in Hospital and shouting, "Babes for men"? One of the regular patrons of His Majesty's hostel at Carmarthen came out very early one morning, and after h.is big appetite had been obsessed by bread and butter and coffee, he was obliged to listen to some wholesome advice. So to cut it short he said he wanted to take the pledge. Asked by his bene- factress for how long he would take it. He answered, "Oh, for life of course. I always take it on these occasions for life." Some of our readers may have noticed how Christian Science has lately been tacked on to re- hival procedimgs. Seeing one of the audienoe, commonly called "Twm Dwl," sitting with his head very low and propped up by his hand, one of the helpers accosted him, and was somewhat taken aback when he found that toothache was the trouble However, he had his prescription ready aid he: "Toll the toothache. Get thee behind me.' Twm Dwl answered, "And then it will Oe- come lumbago which will be worse." In Lady Dorothy Nevill, whose death recently took place, the Conservative party has lost one of its shrewdest supporters. Her sharp but friendly criticism of the Unionist party, contained in her book, "My Own Times," published only last year, is most interesting at t.he present moment. In a summary she gave Mr. H. M. Hyndman, in the early Eighties of the last century, speaking as a Conservative she said: "We have had an excellent innings, I don't deny that for a moment; an excel. lent innings; and the turn of the people will come some day. I see tfnat quite as clearly as yow do. But not yet, not yet. You will educate some of the working class; that is all you can hope to do for tihem. And when you have educated them we shall buy them: or if we don't, the Liberals will, and that will be just the same for you." As the sequence of events has turned out, it is the Liberals who hare made the purchase in question and acquired complete control of the country. As might have been expected, the "National Review" is extremely interesting this month on the subject of the notorious Marconi Enquiry. Mr. L. J. Maxse, the editor of that publication, is one of those whom the public have to thank for learning anything about this scandal (it is nothing less), and in the last issue of his review he prints euoh a search- ing and trenchant analysis of the position as re- vealed at the Enquiry as shows what a very nausea- ting business are the Marconi transactionb of Mr. Lloyd George and the other three Ministers of the Crown. The issue between these gentlemen and Parliament was clearly put by Mr. Massingham, editor of the Radical "Nation," in an article he contributed to a Radical London paper, when he called upon the Editor of the "National Review" to state that on such and such a day such and such a Minister had bought so many Marconi shares for so much and sold them at such a price. He added tnat if one such transaction could be brought home to them the Government would be ruined. This is a very serious but perfectly accurate and fair view to take of the position of the three Ministers as they stood before the Select Committee, and of t'ne Government to which they belonged, and it is de- fined not by a political opponent but by a Radical friend of the three Ministers and a Radical of weight and influence. Of course, Mr. Massingham, when he wrote this challenge, did so in the full belief that Sir Rufus Isaac and his two fellow "in- vestors" would be able to show a clean sheet. Lady Dorothy Nevill goes on to compare the methods of each party in its treatment of young men and the truth of what she says is slowly being realised among Conservatives. After de- scribing the treatment by Unionists of a candidate who has spent his time and money in fighting a hopeless seat she goes on: "How different is this
