LOCAL BRANCH OF NATIONAL LEAGUE OF YOUNG LIBERALS.—A meeting of Liberal ladies of Merthyr was held on Tuesday night, at the Liberal Club, when there were present a good number of ladies, for the purpose of meeting the members of the Liberal Committee with reference to holding a conversazione in connection with the newly-formed brinck-of the above League. Mr. W. R. Edmunds, the president of the Club, was in the chair. It was unanimously agreed A hold the conversazione on Tuesday night, March 22nd, at the Assembly-rooms, Angel- buildings. Miss Maggie Jones. Twrgwyn, The Avenue, was elected hon. sec. of the ladies' committee, and Mrs. H. M. Lloyd the president. All the prominent Liberals of the town will be present, and the committee extend a hearty invitation to ladies and gentlemen who are in sympathy with the Liberal cause to attend. DRINK AND CRIME.—The Winter Assizes opened at Cardiff, on Tuesday. Lord Coleridge, addressing the grand jury, said there were over 100 cases, but they were not, perhaps, of the gravest character. Speaking with much deliber- ation, his Lordship proceeded I cannot help observing—and while observing I shall never weary of pointing out-that a great proportion of the cases arises from drink. I have kept during the twelve months preceding January 1st this year a careful record of all the criminal cases brought before me, and I can tell you, as a matter of fact, 44 out of every 100 of these crimes would never have been committed except for drink. Gentlemen, it is not for me to point out remedies. My duty is fulfilled when I draw youWattention to the facts, but I need hardly point out what happiness, what increased happiness to the community, what lessening of expenditure in gaols, in asylums, what moral improvement would result from any improvement in the habits of the persons who come before me charged with crime. I am not a politician; I am only a judge, but I think it my duty when facts like these come before me, after close investigation, that I should direct public attention to them." MONSTRE TrA.-In connection with Ainon English Baptist Church, a monstre tea and entertainment were held at Hope Hall. There was a large gathering and the attendants were kept busy until eight o'clock. The following ladies presided at the tea tables :-Mrs. H. Oates, Mrs. R. Lloyd, Miss Edith Vaughan, Miss Leah Williams, Mrs. T. Lawrence, Miss Warren, and Miss B. Oates, who were aided by numerous young ladies.

Blue Pool Mystery. SUPPOSED DEAD MAN RE-APPERAS. At the beginning of last week a body was discovered in the Blue Pool, Pontsarn, and the medical evidence showed that it had been in the water for a length of time that would synchronise with the date of the outrage on Lady Lewis's vault in Cefn Cemetery. This invested the proceedings at the inquest with considerable interest. One of the witnesses, a. Mrs. Rees, suggested that the body might be that of Mr. Henry Williams, formerly a hay and corn mer- chant at Treherbert, a nephew of Sir Wm. Thomas Lewis, and who, singularly enough, had been staying in the village and had left some time previously. Relatives of Mr. Henry Williams journeyed to Cefn to see the body, but failed to establish identification. On Wednes- day the mystery was solved so far as Mr. Henry Williams is concerned, for that gentleman returned to South Wales, and a letter from him appears in Another column.

A TALE OF WOE. I am a sheop-dog. They cull me an old- fashioned English sheep-dog. Not one of those silly collies, but one whose forefathers for generations have rounded up the sheep over hill and dale-able to stand a long, hard day's work without fatigue. Well, I want to tell you about a distressing incident that happened to me one day last week in the High-street of Mcrthyr. I was assisting to properly control a flock of sheep up towards Pontmorlaipj There was a low sort of quadruped along with us, a sort I do not, as a rule, associate withi You could see by the look of him that his fa the. and mother were of quite a different stock, and such offspring arc generally designated by a vulgar name which I do not care to repeats I was, however, doing my duty in a work-dog- like manner, which is not an easy feat when you have congested, narrow streets,with cabs, carts, traction cars, steam rollers and what-not crowding the thoroughfare. I was reproved once or twice by a biped who carried a whip-- perhaps he thought I was too energetic. All at once, without any provocation on my parti an ugly hairy cur, of an Irish breed, I think rushed at me. This was too much, so I gava him a nip to go on with, when his master cams for me with his umbrella, but I was too nimbla for him. I then went on with my duty-perhaps I wa.s a bit excited-when the man with the whip again made for me. I was thoroughly disgustedi and after giving them all a parting look of scorn, I turned tail (what there is of it), and trotted quietly home, leaving them to get their flock through the crowd as best they could. I quits expect to hear that when they got to the Owaiu Glyndwr they lost their sheep altogether, and serve them right !—DOGGIE.

The Training and Employment of Teachers. -7- A conference of the Principals of Training Colleges and representatives of the Executive of the National Union of Teachers was held on Saturday last, at the offices of the Union/ Bolton House, Russell-square, W.C., in ordel to discuss existing difficulties in the training ol teachers, and the action which should be taketf to deal with the present unemployment of a large number of certificated teachers who have been specially trained for their work, largely at public expense, but are now unable to secure appointment as teachers. Representatives fronl forty training colleges attended, together with twelve representatives of the N.U T. Executive, The debate on the first question was opened by Mr. Roscoe, Head of the Men's Training Departr ment of the Birmingham University, who set forth the spo ial difficulties of students, whav during their college career, study for a University degree, but are unsuccessful in their final exam* ination. and contrasted their position with that of the student who takes the ordinary course and gains his certificate without difficulty. The following resolution was carried" In the opinion of this conference it is not conducive to educational efficiency that failure to pass the final, or alternative University examination iq University work, as prescriled by the Board of Education for second or third year students/ should necessarily place the student in an inferior position for gaining the certificate to others who have done less work and passed less severe examination tests." A sub-com. mittee of the conference was appointed to coo. sider what stens can best Le taken to collect information and suggest immediate action ia reference to the special pressing difficulties ia the training and certification of teachers. The Rev Preb. Hobson (Principal of St. Ivatherine'# College, Tottenham) dealt with the question of the unemployment prevalent amongst trained certificated teachers, and suggested that it would be possible to have a procession along the Thames Embankment, followed by a meeting in Trafalgar-square, at which Sit James Yoxall mieht be asked to preside. He stated that one-sixth of the students who left the training colleges in 1908 were still out oi employment twelve months. afterwards, wheib the 1909 students were leaving college. Mr. Allen Croft (chairman of the N.U.T. Education Committee) pointed out that this difficulty was increased by the fact that each year the Board of Education granted certificates to a large numler of teachers who had not been trained in a training college, on the results of an examination held by the Board,, and known at the Acting Teachers' Examination." Each year some thousands of certificated teachers were manufactured by the Board of Education in this manner, and as they were working in the schools as uncertificated teachers, at the time they sat for the examination, they retained their posts to the exclusion of teachers who had been through a course of training in a college for two or more years at considerable expense to their parents and the rate and taxpayer. There were also thousands of non. certificated teachers in the schools, taking the places which should be occupied by certificated teachers. The Conference therefore resolved:- That the present abundant supply of trained certificated teachers justifies the demand for (a) the abolition of the acting teachers' examin- ation (b) the gradual restriction of employment in elementary schools to certificated teachers.
4 ACUTE GASTRIC CATARRH.

4 ACUTE GASTRIC CATARRH. THE RESULT OF IRRITATING FOODS ANY-) OVERLOADING OFTEN CAUSES SUDDEN DEATH. Irritating foods, overeating, impropet I mastication (chewing), and bad cooking cause gastric catarrh, a very common disease. Thus when the stomach has a too scanty secretion of gastric juice, digestion is ro« tarded, decay of food starts, poison is made, the mucous membrane attacked, fever e sues, and foul odours, belching and vomitintf occur, accompanied by intestinal trouble and constipation, It is to those suffering from acute gastri4 catarrh that Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets holct out a certain hope. Thesfe little Tablets are dissolved in th. mouth, mingle with the saliva, and are de- livered into the stomach a perfect gastric fluid of exceeding strength. ( They then mix witli the fbud already there. 11 They allay irritation by digesting all food matter in the stomach, wwpw-peristaltic effi- ciency or the power,o,f the stomach to con. tract and expand its strong muscles so that the food is thoroughly mixed wfth the juices. In a short time the acute condition is re- moved, sweetness of breath restored, gased disappear, and the stomach obtains a needed rest. Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets can demon* strate this fact to any sufferer of acute gastric catarrh. They are sold by all chemists at I/I, 2/9 and 4/6 the box, or send us your name and address, and we will send you a trial package free. Address: F. A. Stuart Co. 86 Clerkeuwell Road, London, E.C.

A LOCAL LIBEL ACTION.—In our last issue we published, by request, as a matter of interest to all the teachers of the borough, an extract j from The Schoolmaster of February 26th, relating to an action for libel by Mr. John Mann against Mr. Wm. Harris, schoolmaster. We presumed that it was the record of legal pro- ] ceedings just closed. It appears, however, to have been purposely reserved for publication j at this particular time. We learn that the writ was issued on July 17th last year, in con- sequence of a statement made by Mr. Harris at a meeting of teachers, a report of which was sent to us by one of the teachers present, and published in the Express," on June 19th.. Tho statement criticised something that Mr. Mann had said at a meeting of the Ratepayers' Protection Association, and imputed to Mr. j Mann that he was making a profit on the educa- tion of his children at the Intermediate School] at the expense of the ratepayers. The state- ment, Mr. Mann alleged, was wrong in facts and 1 in inferences. On the 22nd July the defendant entered an appearance to the writ. In the month of August Mr. Vaughan, Mr. Mann's solicitor, informed Mr. Harris that Mr. Mann, yielding to his persuasion but against his own inclination, had agreed to allow the matter to drop, and nothing further was done by him. On November 17th, defendant's solicitor issued I a summons to get an order on the file for dis- missal of the case and the order was made on November 22nd last. Why were not these; simple facts sent to the "Schoolmaster" for pub- lication immediately after the order was made, ( instead of being lielo back for three months, and then published on the eve of the election for j the Board of Guardians ? The explanation is obvious. Mr. Harris is seeking re-election as a member for Park Ward. Mr. Mann has been i spoken of as a possible candidate for the ward ( on this occasion, and the paragraph in the Schoolmaster," three months after its proper: date for appearance (perhaps with a view to its re-appearance in our columns) has all the • appearance of an el^joneering manoeuvre, j With respect to the defendant's desire that the t case should have gone before the court, the following letter from Mr. Mann has been ( sent to us for publication:—" Sir,—With I reference to the paragraph in your issue of ( last week, purporting to be an extract from the in which Mr. William: Harris says ho is ready and anxious to have { the action whicli I commenced against him in July last, for libel, fully dealt with by the courts,' if Mr. Harris is prepared to find security, for the amount of damages a.nd costs of the action in the event of the decision going against him, I shall be only too pleased to have the case tried at the next Assizes.—Yours truly, John Mann,' 27, Lanacster Villas, Merthyr."
