Rhondda County School.
Rhondda County School. Distribution of Prices. The annual distribution of prizes and certificates gained by the pupils of the Rhondda County School, Porth, took place at Salem Chapel, Porth, on Tues- day, when Mr. Lewis Williams, J.P., Cardiff, performed the ceremony. Dr. T. H. Morris, chairman of the Governors and of the Glamorgan Education Com- mittee, presided, and there was a large attendance of parents and friends. The Chairman congratulated the headmaster, staff, parents and children upon the suc- cess of the school during last year. The Rhondda, had the finest Intermediate School buildings in the whole of Wales, and he hoped the work done would be in proportion to the amount, of money spent. Parents should do all they could to keep their children in the school. For often it was thought that twelve months' "finishing touch" was sufficient. That was not a bit of good. It would be bet- ter, he thought, to keep the child at home. If they were sent to the County School, let the parents makei up their minds to keep them there, to send them for a course. They should stop there, if possible, for four years. The Education Committee of the County some years ago saw the value of this, and decided to give t2 10s. to the Governors for every child who attended school for two years and a grant of £ 2 10s. for each year above that. The parents, in the interests of the Governors, school and children, should endeavour to keep their children at school so as to earn that grant. There should be a strong commercial and tech- nical side to the school, and the time was fast approaching when County Schools should specialise some of the work. The Rhondda School might specialise in the last year of its course for mining, where at another centre, such as Pontypridd, another subject might be specialised. The question was, how could they get these children to specialise in the different sub- jects? Well, the County should give special scholarships and bursaries to en- able the children to live in the district where they were specialising, over and above the school fees (applause). And the time was not far off when the county of Glamorgan would take the matter up (hear, hear). The Headmaster (Mr. E. Samuel, M.A.) in his report for the year ended July 31st, 1904, stated that the atten- dance during the first term was 270; second term, 271; third term, 250. There was an increase of about 30 pupils for each term as compared with the corres- ponding term, of the previous year (1902- 1903). There was, therefore, urgent need for extra accommodation upon the lines of their recommendation to the County Council. The only change in the curri- culum had been the introduction of com- mercial arithmetic and commercial geography to a class of boys who could not take up manual instruction; and the taking over of the commercial subjects of book-keeping and shorthand by a specially qualified teacher of those subjects. In- creased attention would be given to science, for an additional science mistress would join the staff in January next. The Governors were fully alive to the need for training in practical domestic economy, and he dared say they would tell them something interesting about what they proposed doing in regard to household work. The laundry was now ready, and he anticipated it would be in good working order, in January. One afternoon a, week could be well devoted to the training of girls in household duties. After all, the great majority of girls became mistresses not of schools, business establishments, &c., but of houses and homes, and it was most im- portant that, while they were increasing their knowledge in various subjects and their minds were getting cultured, they should also be able, if called upon, to perform or superintend domestic duties. He again wished to emphasise the desir- ability of providing technical education adapted to the interests and surroundings of the child and parent. Machine con- struction and drawing, and mechanical engineering would be in harmony with the surroundings of the boys. It did not fol- low that boys would leave other subjects and specialise in this subject. It would bring them up in the atmosphere of ap- plied science of a nature like that which was found in the industry of the district. This could be made a centre for mechani- cal and mining engineering, to be attended by those whose schooldays were over, for a special purpose. The spirit of technical education which they ought, to develop was to teach students something for the purpose of being able to do something; and that spirit would only pervade the school when it was brought into contact with the actual affairs and industries of the district. Since the commencement of last year all the boys had been taken through a course of physical exercises in the gymnasium. One of the great needs of the school was a level field for games. Hockey, football, and other games had been regularly played, and the boys had distinguished themselves in their matches with other schools. Cricket, however, was at a low ebb on account of tlie want of a pitch. The 300 volumes in the Library had been well used. The pupils were constantly asking for new books. In connection with the question of the education of pupil teachers, it might be desirable to mention that they were already educating a number of boys and girls who became pupil teachers. If their subsequent success were followed up, it would be found that, as a rule, they did better than those who became pupil teachers direct from the elementary or higher elementary schools. He (Mr. Samuel) was strongly of opinion that pupil teacher probationers should be edu- cated at a secondary school. Again, several of the pupils annually entered a day training college direct from that school, and thus became certificated teachers without, serving an apprentice- ship- In regard to the examinations of the Central Welsh Board, 6 gained the Honours Certificate, 15 gained the Senior Certificate, and 21 gained the Junior Certificate. William Bowen won a County Council Scholarship of the value of £40, and Walter Morgan Thomas was the first pupil in the Honours Stage of science and mathematics in the county of Glamorgan. Bowen had since won the second prize in the engineering depart- ment, of the University College, Cardiff, at the end of his first session, and Thomas has passed the Inter. Science Examina- tion of the University of London. It was very gratifying to find that a scholarship to the value of -110 had been founded by the trustees of the Llwynypia Charity. There was still need for similar scholarships, There were several who, by their ability, industry and progress, deserved such scholarships. The last com- petition for entrance scholarships was, in point of number of entries, the heaviest yet experienced. Very nearly 200 com- peted. In conclusion, he desired to ex- press his warm approval of the manner in which the members of the staff threw themselves into the work of the school. The nominal school hours by no means represented the time devoted to the work Df their various classes. He- desired also to draw their attention to the great amount of work dune by the Governors for the school. They had bought the playing field at the back of the school. A new chemical laboratory and a laundry had been erected, and these would be found second to none in point of equip- ment. Two years and a half ago the number in attendance was about 200; now it was 290. The Governors had de- voted exceedingly great care in the spending of the Scholarship and Bur- saries Fund. They had asked the County Council to make further improvements to the premises, and these would be on a large scale. In this connection it would be only just to mention the great advan- tage the school had in possessing such a chairman as Dr. T. H. Morris, who was also the chairman of the Glamorgan Edu- cation Committee. He would not, forget the special needs of the Rhondda in the immense work which his committee had to perform throughout the county. He (Mr. Samuel) would also like to state that, whatever became of the staff, the school was, as far as administration went, in the safest possible hands. In connec- tion with the question of attendance, he desired to impress upon the parents the absolute necessity of regular attendance. They should consider everything-singing festivals, Sunday School treats, &c.-as of less importance than their son's or daughter's attendance at school. He hoped those who had influence in the churches of the district would use that influence to try and get Sunday School outings in August instead of in June and July. He had to thank them as, parents for much kindness, consideration and en- couragement during the last year; and he congratulated them upon the successes gained by their sons and daughters. Mr. Lewis Williams, J.P., prior to pre- senting the certificates and prizes, said he had fought against it being a. con- dition of entrance into training colleges for students to pass the matriculation examination, thinking that this was too high a standard for Wales. Seeing what was now being done by means of secon- dary and intermediate education, he had altered his mind. The time was coming when Wales would be fully prepared to secure all the advantages of education at the University Colleges. He would like to see all classes enter the teaching pro- fession. He did not believe in seeing teachers selected from one particular class—the best brain power they should get, and he believed there was brain power in Wales equal to any part of the country (hear, hear). He was a great admirer of the Scotsman and the Scotch character, but he thought there was in Wales brain power, brain product and brain results equal to anything they had in Scotland (applause). He congratulated the people of the Rhondda, on their fore- thought, and wisdom in providing such an excellent school. They boasted of the quality of the Rhondda coal; he hoped that the Rhondda brain would become equal. Provided it, was properly trained, he had no fear that in the days to some Rhonddaites would be occupying in all parts of the country positions of distinc- tion, and their names would be among those who were prominent in literature, preachers, missionaries, teachers and workers for the benefit of the people (hear, hear). Philosophers said there were three powers to deal with-physical, intellectual, and moral. He believed in the cultivation of the physical, but there was a great danger of it being carried too far. They should keep sport in the proper place. It should not be placed first. Let it come in help to play fair, to develop good temper and many quali- ties. If they merely developed the physical, they became savages, and he appealed to them to keep it in due re- straint. He was glad to find the moral life of the school was a high one. Let them try to maintain it, and whatever was dishonourable let them put far away. Let them be careful about their reading. Read everything about something, but don't read something about everything. Try to get a mastery of one subject and cultivate a taste for good reading (hear, hear). T'th prizes were then distributed as follows: Form VI.—First pupil, Hannah Jones (prize given by Old Boys' Association).

Pontygwaith. Two grand performances of the popular cantata, The Crown of the Year (Caryl Florio), were given by the Zion (C.M.) Chapel Choir, conducted by Mr. J. Harris, on Wednesday and Thursday evenings, November 30th and December 1st, at Hermon Chapel (B.), kindly lent for the occasion. This is the second can- tata performed under the auspices of the above choir during this year, On Good Friday an excellent rendering of the at- tractive cantata, Yr lesu (Pencerdd Maelor), was given under the admirable leadership of Mr. R. W. Lewis, Ponty- gwaith. That choir was composed mainly of members of the branch Sunday School at Stanleytown. The young choir acquit- ted itself well, and reflected great credit on the young leader on his first appear- ance as a choral conductor. This stimu- lated the church to take up for the coming winter another cantata of a higher order of music, to be sung by members of both the branch and the mother Sunday School. This took place last week. The chairmen were Mr. D. Smith, D.C., Tylorstown (in the unavoid- able absence of Mr. D. Hannah, M.E., Ferndale) and Dr. Thomas, C.C., Tylorstown, who presided with their usual dignity. The soprano was Miss Davies, Cardiff (Gold Medallist, and the winner of the champion solo at Mountain Ash this -ear). Miss Davies is rapidly rising to eminence in the musical world. Her artistic singing on this occasion thrilled the audience. Her rendering of "Hear ye. Israel" will not soon be for- gotten. The accompanists were Mr. J. R. Lewis, A.Mus.. T.C.L. (Alaw Rhon- dda). and Miss M. J. Powell, Ponty- gwaith. The two performances were a real treat, keenly appreciated by a large audience. The several characters did heir respective parts in a very praise- worthy manner, especially The Year"

Dinas. On Wednesday evening the Penygraig Chamber of Trade held a meeting at the Penygraig Schools to discuss the Shop Hours Act, the Christmas holidays, and the advisability of having a, Police Station for Penygraig. It, was resolved that the Early Closing Hours should be the same as those which would be adopted by the Tonypandy Grocers' Association. It was also decided that the Christmas holidays should extend from Saturday night, Dec. 24th, until the following Wednesday. It was also decided to petition the police governing authorities for the purpose of having a Police Station. Councillor R. Lloyd, Penygraig, presided, and the meet- ing was well attended. On Tuesday last the death of Mr. Dd. Lewis (Dafydd o'r Cwrt) took place. De- ceased suffered a long and very painful illness as a result of a severe accident which he received at the Cymmer Col- liery about two years ago. He was one of the oldest inhabitants of Dinas, and was well known in the surrounding dis- trict. He was well-liked by all who knew him and greatly respected. He leaves a widow and five sons to mourn his loss. T. Jones, Tailor, Paris House, Tony- pandy.

Tonypandy.
Tonypandy. The ninth annual tea in the history of Moriah Welsh Baptist Church, Tony- pandy, took place on Thursday afternoon last, when, despite the rainy weather that prevailed, a company of about 500 sat down to the splendid fare which had been gratuitously provided by Mr. and Mrs. D. W. Richards, Central Stores, Tonypandy. This was not the first occasion on which the afore-mentioned lady and gentleman had thus favoured the church, in which they take such deep interest, and their magnanimous action in this respect is deserving of the heartfelt gratitude of their co-worshippers at Moriah. The fol- lowing ladies superintended and assisted at the tables, viz. —Mrs. R. W. Hughes, Mrs. E. T. Hughes, Miss Evans, Miss Granville, Mrs. Cording, Miss Edith Lewis, Miss Maria Rees, Miss Bessie Wil- liams, Mrs. J. Rees, Miss Llewellyn, Mrs. Rees, Miss Phoebe Jones, Miss G. Granville, Mrs. Elvira Lewis, Miss Lewis, Mrs. M. Davies, Misses Maude Thomas, C. Edwards, A. J. Brookes, John, Wilkes, E. J. Miles, A. M. Phillips, B. Lewis, M, Llewellyn, M. J. and A. Miles. The following ladies were in charge of the cutting and carving arrangements:- Mrs. D. W. Richards, Mrs. Morris, Mrs. Francis, Mrs. Llewellyn and Mrs. Rogers; tea and hot water Mr. Rees Rees; while the Rev. J. Nicholas (pas- tor), Messrs. D. W. Richards, W. J. Hughes, D. J. Brookes, Edmund Thomas and Fred Jones assisted in various capa- cities. A report, of the event would be incomplete if we omitted to mention the fact that Mr. Rees Rees, one of the senior members of the church and an active worker on all occasions, succeeded in disposing of 200 tickets, which doubt- less constitutes a record for a single in- dividual locally.

The Pentre Tragedy.
The Pentre Tragedy. Petition for a Reprieve. The petition in favour of a reprieve for Eric Lange, who is now in Cardiff Gaol under sentence of death for the murder of Mt-. Emlyn Jones, has been drafted, nnrl A/Ii- l1r.hn'f-.n f.Y'Ior..n 4.1. 1" rI I TiT T £ WW solicitor tor the defence, will take prompt steps to have it presented to the Home Secretary. The grounds alleged for seeking a remis- sion of the sentence are principally the alleged insanity of the convict. It is stated that his father died in an asylum, that his biothei has at different times been an inmate of such an institution, and that Lange himself received a sun- stroke in China some years ago, from the effects of which he has periodically suf- fered. The petition also urges that Lange never really intended to murder Mr. Jones; that there was no premeditationj and that what happened was in the struggle to get away from the bedroom. The signatories to the document will include the convict's wife, the President of the Seamen's Union, most, if not all, of the officials of that organisation, &c. Complimentary Sacred Concert to Mr. A.

The general appearance of the choir and the get-up of the several characters evinced a, very fine taste, so that both the eye and the ear were de- lighted. Unstinted praise is due to the able conductor and other friends, who spared no pains and toil to bring about the undertaking to such a successful issue. T.
