Once again we think Public it is our duty to press Halls. the need of public halls in the various districts of the Rhonddas. It is a reproach to the valleys when it must, be confessed that we hgve no hall in the whole' area worthy the name. A population of nearly 120,000 should command three or four public halls, each with a capacity of holding three or four thousand people. What halls we could boast in the last few years have been taken up by enterprising individuals, who have not in any way regretted the specu- lation. They are doing well, and crowds assemble nightly to enjoy their sober re- creations. In the- districts where these places are conducted wetland orderly,.the policeman's lot is made the happier. Evi- dence in confirmation has been given us times without number. The people are crowded in the homes. The lodger sys- tem is intensifying the housing problem. After the tub they must sally forth to the street, and therefrom gravitate to the pub or a, place. of entertainment. The gravita- tion is as irresistible as Newton's law. The chapels are almost universally a prohibited arena, to every secular meeting, if we ex- cept an occasional margin for a lecture or an eisteddfod. The churches preach down the Theatre and the Hippodrome as being undesirable, but will do nothing to erect places of entertainment consonant with church sanction. The inconsistency-of the churches is irritating. Viliticati011 of an evil without supplying: a remedy is an at- tempt at stereotyping goodness by auto- cracy and coercion. We have looked in vain to the churches to make good this sore, need of such public buildings, where entertainments other than sacred can be housed. There is hope only in the col- liery authorities—employers and employed. Already we have proofs of such co-operation producing excellent institutes for recrea- tive reading. The two under the Ocean Collieries, the Cory Institution, Llwvny- pia and Ivmmsr. and others indicate that one great step towards the desired goal nas been reached. Mki-Khonatia, xor instance, sadly needs such a hall, and we think that the evolution of the Llwynypia and Penygraig Institutes could result in the realisation of large halls. The enter- prise of the Llwynypia- Institute in secur- ing the. Gilchrist lectures reflects successful co-operation between the Glamorgan authorities and the workmen. We under- stand that at the present stage in the his- tory of this Institution, the, building funds are in a. happy state of healthy sob vency. The time is oonortune for further developments in the way of erecting an additional commodious building. The in- habitants and workmen generally would agree that Mr. Archibald Hood's great service to the district, and untiring in- terest in its welfare, should be com- memorated in a substantial form, and to our mind, the gratitude of Llwynypia in perpetuity could not be better sustained than by erecting such an edifice, and giving it the name of, for instance, Hood's Public Hall." After several years' Gilchrist interval we are glad Lectures. to announce that these highly educa- tive series of lectures will again be de- livered in the Rhondda. Llwynypia is the centre around which these attractive events will meet. The Llwynypia Work- men's Institute committee, under the guiding secretarial management of Mr. W. L. Jones, well deserve the indebtedness of not only Mid-Rhondda people, but the

men of leading in the whole Rhonddas. To those who thirst for knowledge in the Rhondda Fach, the physical toil of climb- ing over Penrhys Mountain will not be too much to surmount. The series will be delivered at the large and commodious Jerusalem Chapel. Llwynypia, and will be opened by the prince of Gilchrist lecturers —Dr. Dallinecr, who will deliver a new one, eiit It I ed, "The Pond and its Minute Inhabitants A Modern Study in Minute Life." It is needless to "comment upon the eminence of the lecturer. His fame as a student of minute life, and its popular exposition, are world-wide. The other four lectures will follow in fortnightly sequence, and will include' lectures by Dr. R. D. Roberts, Dr. Hill, both of Caiii- bridge, Dr Andrew Wilson, and -Sir Robert Ball, the great astronomer. The intellect of the Rhondda can only contemplate the feasts with the hungering imagination of coming intellectual banquets. The lec- tures are truly science lectures for the people. The treatment is, though pro- found in matter, elementary to. and easily digestable by, the masses. They are designed to awaken a spirit of learning in the people, and to scatter that enemy of individuals and states—ignorance, to obli- vious disgust. This foe of progress musr be combated. It brings misery, vice, and poverty where it is allowed to sway. It is ignorance that wastes; it is knowledge that saves. If sleep is the brother to death, ignorance is full brother to both sleep and death. An untaught faculty is at once quiescent, and dead. An ignorant man has been defined as one whom God has packed up. and men have not un- folded." We venture to" see; a vision" in respect to these lectures. The inter- pretation is that there will be less of ignorance in the Rhondda among all who will make an effort to attend. Dr. John Borthwick Gilchrist, the founder of the Trust, was a. philanthropist and benefactor in the most ample definition of the term. Patriot, not of a country, but of humanity and the world. This is an institution very closely allied with Night Schools. the people's opportuni ties, welfare, and pro- gress. It is known how disastrous the effect of last year's legislation has been to these Working Men's Colleges. Dr. Macnamara has been contributing a series of articles on this subject to the columns of the Dailv News," and alarming enough, in all seriousness, is the statisticalrfait that with success of the Coekerton judgment, and its support by Government legislation last year, these institutions have received a destructive blow. The Rhondda School Board has been able to continue the schools by the, grace of the Glamorgan County Council, but their success is a record of the past. The actual comparison of numbers is not yet available,^ but with the limitation of the age of 15, a very large section of the scholars have been excluded. In the country from the sta- tistics supplied by 132 School Boards, the enrolments up to date show a falling off of 34,000. Long interviews are published in some of the London Press records anent the various means suggested of waking up the country" to the, severe international race for the commercial pre-eminence which we maintained in the past. The Government's contribution is drying up the wells of evening opportunities to the working men. Education has been uni- versally recommended by the experts as the most certain direction of keeping the country abreast of the rivalry that is now taking place from America and Germany. And yet we have men in power, and in- stalled there by the vote of the people, who are utterly oblivious to the right of the working classes to the, privileges of education. Dr. Macnamara asks why should the English and Welsh working classes be fobbed off with an inferior edu- cation to that supplied to their fellow workers in Scotland. Pupils in the Higher Grade Schools of Scotland are instructed out of both local rates and exchequer grants up to 18 years of age. Mark the contrast, the same privileges are impossible in this country after 15 years of age. With regard to the night schools again, the com- parison is still more to our detriment. Sir John Gorst will not allow rate aid or ex- chequer grant after July 31st next on account of any pupil over 15, whereas in Scotland all those resources of support can be drawn to assist the pupils up to any age. Here, it is friction, restriction, irri- tation, and fettering, School Boards, but in Scotland the fulness of a rich harvest of opportunities. To us the irony, tllouglll the question is serious, is amusing. Eng- land, which returns the great bulk of the present Government's supporters, has the shabbiest treatment. We have in Wales a svstem of secondary education which modifies our grievance to some measure, but poor England is cut off sharply at the Cockerton age. Is this not a question for the working classes, and should they not wake up to think with anxiety of these solemn truths, and buckle up to send the tyrant "right about face for all times. If education is not a working man's problem, then whose is it? We are already re- The Next ceiving suggestions, Budget. if not feeling some premonitory symp- toms, says the Shipping World," of what Sir Michael Hicks- Beach's next Budget is to be. Apart from the statements made by the Chancellor of the Exchequer himself (wheiiier intended ,0 mask his true intent or not, we cannot say), the suggestion made by Sir Robert, Giffen. the erstwhile statisti- cian of the Board of Trade, has attracted the greatest attention and amongst Free Traders, at all events, has occasioned the most profound surprise. Sir Robert Giffen estimates that there will be a deficit of £ 10,000,000. But. lie makes light of that, and, having regard to our increased wealth, considers apparently our national expenditure of £ 1(57,981,8(57 a mere flea- bite. He would reduce the income tax, and borrowing a phrase so often heard during last spring, or at least a synonymous phrase, he is for enlarging the frame- work of the revenue." And this he would do by levying a duty of 3d. additional per lb. on tea, an additional 1-d, per lb. on sugar, Is. per qlJarter on grain, Is. per load on timber. Id. per gallon on petroleum, and an additional 3s. per barrel on beer." These, according to this high authority in calculations and figures, would not only make good the reductions in the income- tax, but would "yield £ 20,000,000 with- out affecting the consumption of the people." We have to point out that two of the items in Sir Robert Giffen's in- teresting programme will not be available if the language used the other day by Sir Michael Hicks-Beach at Bristol in respect of beer, and during the debate on last year's Budget in respect of tea, is still binding upon him. He told the Licensed victuallers in substance that their beer would not be further taxed and speaking on April 15th, 1901, he, said: "I do not think we ought, to increase the duty on tea," and in June following, he added that he should be disposed to reduce the duty on tea rather than on beer and spirits." So that the process of "enlarging the framework of the revenue will have to be exercised in connection with grain, timber, and petroleum, if at all. Mr. A. E. Pease, M P., shrinking from the frank avowal that he would put a tax on bread, proposes the euphemism of a registration fee of Is. per quarter on corn inported into the United Kingdom. It does not require an apprenticeship in the Board of Trade to teach us, first, that an export duty on coal is equivalent to an import duty on iron ore second, that an import duty upon timber further serves to in- creasel the cost of ships and ,finally, that the duty of Is. per quarter on corn would mean dearer bread and presumably higher wages, so that on the prescription of Sir Robert Giffen, countersigned by Mr. A. E. Pease, M.P., we have the cost of raw materials and of food increased, and, therefore, the price of ships and other products of our British establishments and and workshops advanced, to the great advantage of foreign competition and to the fatal dis- advantage of British manufacturers Mr. Pease attempts to justify the proposal by saying that" Slllce the whole population have supported the Government in the war should bear some of the burden of it." Surely it is unnecessary to remind Mr. A. E. Pease that everv" consumer, every rent-payer, does, indirectly, most substantially contribute towards the cost of Government, including the cost of the war. The people will feel that if Is. duty
