I enclose you a copy of the statement of aoooumta for the year ended 31st of March last, at the end of whioh you will find a memorandum showing the aseeta and liabilities of the governors. You will note that the balance on the general purposed ao- count was £ 263 8s 3d on the 31st of M&roh. i«u»t, but. when the liabilities and assets are taken into consideration the same is reduced to 235 °s Jd. "Again, on the scholarships and bursaries ao- oount, you will find that the balance is JB260 14s 8d. Deducting from this the proportion of scholarships and bursaries due at the end of Easter term, which happened in a few days after the termination of the financial year, the balance is reduced to C66 8s. When, however, the pro- portion of scholarships and bursaries due at the end of midsummer term are paid, the account will be overdrawn to the extent of B128 18s 8d. When this amount is deducted from 2162 the proportion of the grant to be allotted to this account for the ourrent year, there will only be a balance of £ 31 Is 4d towards scholarships and bursaries for the remainder of the year. In this connection I would point out to you that during last year the sum of C197 16s 8d has been paid for scholarships and bursaries for boys. Now the Governors are paying the boys in respect of scholarships and bursaries at the rate of C240 a year. You will see from this that the Govern- ors have done their best to accede to your com- mittee's request that 9250 should bei spent on boys, and in doing so have brought themselves to the verge of bankruptcy, so far as the scholar- ships and bursaries account is concerned. "I also wish to draw your attention to the fact that this school only gets £ 9 5s per head in grants, whilst Denbigh gets £ 10 5s pw head, Lianrwst £ 10 10s per head, Ruabon £ 14 per head, and Llangollen £ 9 5s per head. The fitrures in respect of this school are arrived at without deduction of the £ 250 which your com- mittee asks the Governors to devote to boys. When this sum is taken out of the i-ww grant, the amount per head is reduced to to lOs, so that tile school receives less in grants tl?an any other school in the county. Th is district, like other districts, pays the 2d rate, but receives no part of *t.t wardi the school as other districts do. from tvie Furthermore.. there are about 25 girls Denbigh district at th* school, and eight or nine rld',itricts. 131f any of thesetfirls went froii,i othe he county, ?at school to some other school in t,.

Without entering into the merits of the case-as to whether it was right that. Ruthin should have this money or not—ho considered that the committee were unprepared to deal with it. Mr John Allen seconded the amendment. IN DEFENCE OF RUTHIN. Dr. J. Medwyn Hughes, speaking in favour of the minute being conlirmed, saiu that to pass the amendment would be tantamount to a vote of consure upon the Intermediate Committee's; chairman, Mr J. E. Powell. The matter was brought forward in July, and the whole caso stated very clearly for Ruthin, and the chair- man gave his permission for the resolution to be brought forward, and it was passed. Whatever the facts that were in force then were equally true to-day, and they had been considered care- fully, and the committee had come to the con- clusion that the application of Ruthin was rea- sonable. He would like to know whether it was to be knocked on the head for the reason, that it was alleged to be irregular, or because; there was a, certain opposition to it, on its merits. As for the question of order, there would be a great reflection upon the chairman if it was questioned, because he gave his consent to the matter being discussed, and it was dis- cussed. and as far act he could understand it was carried unanimously that Ruthin should be treated exactly in the same way as the other parts of the county. "If you are not going to give us this grant," Dr Hughe.s continued, "it will make a very serious difference indeed with regard to the fi- nances of the school. Wo have made an esti- mate for the coming year, and we are willing to agree that we should spend E250 on tho boys. If you do not give us this capitation grant we will have nothing else to do but to refuse to allocate this L250 for the boys. We cannot possibly do it. It will be altogether out of the question. I submit ours is a very reasonable application. I know you are inclined to look back, and to remind us of certain huge surpluses we once had. But wa have not spent a penny piece of that money without your ccn- senfc and the conscnt of the Charity Commission- ers, and I submit you have no right to go and throw it upon us now. It is too late in the day. If you had wished to make a fuss about that, you ought to have made it at the time. But. at all events, that sum has been wined out, and it is wrong- to punish the children of the Ruthin district in order te numsh tho governors. "I am quite aware there is one other matter wh;cl1 hrl8 influenced 80m" of you considerably, nnd that is in regard to the conduct of the late clerk. As to the state of things, we could not nossibh- help it. and we reilly could not have interfered in the matter. But I do anneal to you strongIv to pass recommendation, that we be_ granted a capitat-'on grant. I do not think it would be impertinent, on our part if wc were to apnlv for the block grant as well, and as far as the finance" of the school are con- cerned wo shall be able to give) you as pood an account. ,f; for anv sp'-trol in the NO THOUGHT OF CENSURE. Mr Cromer said ho was sure he had no thought of censuring the chairman. It was true that tho dscussioIl and tbe resolution passed were a little irregular, because the matter had not ap- peared on the programme, but he refrained in his speech from going into the merits of the case, because if the resolution to which he objected were now deleted the matter would come up in proper order to be thoroughly discussed, when each member of tho committee had had an in- timation that it would bo under discussion. At present it had come in as a side wind. He trusted that the committee would bo wise enough to carry his amendment. The Chairman raid that tihe terms of the amendment were that the resolution be deleted, and if it were carried it would prevont tho matter coming up again. He dfd not think- that was exactly what Mr Crocuaa- intended. Mr Cromar wÜhxl t.he matter referred back brought up again in some other foirm 11 Mr Croimar óKtid he was ausito prepared that the resolution should b? deferred, and that it. r,?)ttld coiy'o 1) it t,loiied on i!'](', id Mr I)- f:,?ii that if M-r C!,omir would alter his amendment to that form he (Mr m C,ee, 1),,),i n ted c?,ut tli.a,t tlt?, of cciiiiii. L-I) III Iilc4tl, .9 'er fol.11" aid t-4at iihe question of the in the report on the aocounts of Ruthin should be discussed before they decided' upon t.ho matter of the capitation grant. Dr. Medwyn Hughes at th's point, after a consultation with Mr J. E. Powell, consented ) to the proposition of Mr Cromar, as altered, being p:a=ed, and this was therefore agreed to unanimously, the Chairman remarking that the wthole Qtlûstion was referred »•-> the next meet- in- of the Higher Education Committee- "THC MEASURE OF OUR WANTS." UNFAIR APPROPRIATION TO WALES. After this long debate upon that, fascinating subject, the Almighty Doiki.r, which has been termed "the measure cf our wants"—as it I affected one of the dusiricts within the county, the C.>;nmitt?e were intrcxiVcxl bv Mr lJ S. Daviea, to a consido''af :oa of t he self-same sub- ject, in relation to the county at large. J\1J. Da vies referred to t':l(; new regulations in re- gard to tlho Treasury grange for soe-ond.trv edu- cation in England and Wales, and he moved 4 liiixt the new arrangement for tho payment, of pwondarv rrants operates adversely to the intc-rei's i.-i the WcVi ouiii les, especially t"i r,3 of low i aicable value, and that a representa- tion he m-tde to tre Board of Education to re- I •oonsictor the basis of allocation. Mr Davies explained that under the now regulations •rants were paid in re^peoi e.-f pupils in Wehh counties from ihe ages 'cf 12 tp 16, while in' t' 13 Emriv-i'i count.-|3 the grants fro re paid bo- tw.?»n tl:e ,vges of 10 and 13- Cn the figur. s of i°05, »'•;f me-anf in Denbighshire a Jess <. f {:1:)37 Moreover, the grin's to Wales rc- "o e! rf children between the r-gus of 12 15 v ere £ 1 per head hvo iihan tho .e in England 1: :■ ;??! of pup!1-; Ictwvc-n tho-' af.es. irat •re uit Ion of £ *cQ, or a t.U:' ss of £ 118?, s Ciiv: with 1 o r;- £ I :1 England.

He clairmed to have shown, fherefome, that in praotioe the change would operate adversely to the county. He had no dioubt that the Board of Eduoataon would remedy the matter as soon as their attention was called to it (hear, hear). "WELL DONE, WALES." Mr J. K Powell, in seconding, pointed out tlhiat tlho grant by the Treasury was given to Waies on condition thait Wales rated herself to an equal amount. That was done under the Aot passed specifically for Wales. But tlbe otihor granite wore made to England and Wales, and Wales felt tthie grievance. Thoee granite were to be ^iven fotr a less period, and tor a substantially less amount. He would put the matter this way: Because Wales had shown an interest in education second to none in the United Kingdbim, was Wale6 to be penahsed ? (hear, hear)- He did not think they ought to be. Because WaLep had done well, she should be told, "Well dome, thou good and faithful SOT v ant"-(', atighter),and they should be re- warded and not punished. There should be equal treatment with the rest of Uie kingdom (Iheair, hear). Miss Gee: Would not not go further, and say we should have twice as much (laughter). The Chairman said he was glad that the re- solution did not oonvey any condemnation of the Board of Eduoatiioin. It merely suggested that tihere had been an oversight, or that m some other way of that kind the matter ihad assumed the position it ihad done The resolution was then carried. ABERGELE SCHOOL LOSSES. MORE THAN £ 100 PER ANNUM. The report on the Aibergel-e County School accounts was as follows:- Dobit balance on maintenance -account in- creased from JB115 13s Id to E254 9s 7d; credit balance on repairs and improvements increased from JM6 100 7d to JE68 96 6d; the accounts show a loft3 on the year's working of E109 3s 7d; amount paid in scholarships, £ 110; amount paid in bursaries, £ 110 2s 3d; particulars of the bur- saries should be shown on the form as required. Inootne aocounts: What is mearnti by the follow- ing items? Payments, arrears, j351 7s; receipts, arrears of tuiftion fee for last year, £ 28- 8s. Maintenance account: Payments for care of school buildings, £ 58; books and stationery, £104 14s 2d. DENBIGH COUNTY SCHOOL. REDUCED BALANCE. In regard to the Denbigh County School, the examiners of aocounts reported that the aocounts show a balance in hand of E136 33 3d, as against £ 352 7s 10d for 1905-6. From the report accom- panying tho statement of aooounts, the reduc- tion in the balances is attributable to the fol- lowing causes:—(1) Payment of salaries or exbra. period belonging to 1907-8; (2) a payment of JB25 18s 4d, representing scholarships and bur- saries due in respect of 1907-8; (3) science and art grant for 1906-7, not received -before close of financial year; arrears of fees (tuition and books.), £ 97 06 7d. The higher education account should now be ciosed, and the balance trans- feried to the maintenance account. LLANRWST SCHOOL PROSPEROUS AT LAST. For many years Lianrwst County School was hampered and harrasi-'ed by debt, the income being inadequate. Gradually, additional grants and sources of income were with great effort a,c"q u *n hand ired, a.nd iiow a. fin Is re, ported. On the aocounts of this school Meiers Christmas Jones and Wilcoxon made the fo.low- ing observations: — The aocounts show a balance in favour of the school ol £ 720 is 4d, an increase of £ 220 12s 4d on t.hc yoar 1905-6; credit balance on mainten- ance account increased from J6194 7"3 to JE219 1'6 ld. The h ,tier educat' 11 t should 'I-,d the 1,?,1'0" now bL clo,ed, ailee to the credit of the maintenance on account. The income account should show all receipts from whatever sources. Tuition foes unpaid, EG 10s Od. COUNTY EXHIBITIONS. Mr J. E. Powell laid before the meeting the results of the Central Welsh Board examination. It was very gratifying to the oountv of Den- bigh, he, said, to find that a substantial num.ber of the boys who stood highest in Wales wore from that county (applause). 1 County exhibitions of, E30 were .awarded,, up- on the results of the examinations to Chas. Lewis MacGregor, Wrexham County School, wkose total marks were 3372, and Walter Pritc ard Dodd, Wrexham County School, 3104 mirks. Exhibitions of £ 25 were awarded to Moulsdale Williams, Wrexham County School, 3133 marks; Frank Lewis Heywood, Wrexham County School, 2992 marks; and John Hazlett Mackie, Ruabon County School, 2842 marks. It waG explained that tho latter scholarship had been won the previous year by William Pritehard Dodd, son of the Chairman <>f the Education Com,mittee, and with the consent oc the committee had been reserved. Dodd having now won an exhibition of £ 30, he surrendered that reserved for him last. year, and it was awarded to the next in order on this year's examination. CLEVER DENBIGHSHIRE PUPILS. CENTRAL WELSH EOAHO SUCCESSES. A return from Mr Owen Owen, chief inspector of the .Central We sh Board, was laid before the meeting, showing the succca^s of the candidates for the county, who sat for the division A. oer- tificates, of the Central Welsh Board, at the sum- mer examination.

The Persians, when the ruling nation of the East, made a fashion of fruit eatinsr. llheir conquered subjects, the Egyptians, were, how- ever. the first to learn the art of converting n valuable portions of fruit into potent medicines. Through the Egyptians, the medi- cinal value of fruit became known to the Greeks and Romans, and tihe art eventually readied Great Britain as a oarefully-guarded secret of tho Italian monks.

PROPOSED NEW COUNCIL SCHOOL AT PENMACHNO. The iollcwing petition has been signed by the foundation managers of Penmachno School, and forwarded to the Secretary, Board of Educa- tion, Whl.-c-hail, and also to the Secretary of the Local Education Authority, Carnarvon:— Sir,—We, the undersigned managers of the Penmachno Ohuroh of England .school, having learnt from the newspapers that certain persons, on their own responsibility, and without the authority of the parish, formed themselves into a deputation, to pray that a new Council School should be erected at Penmachno, beg respectfully to enter a very strong protest against the pro- posed extravagant expenditure of publio money, and we do so for the following reasons; (1) Sufficient accommodation is already provided 00 meet all requirements. In the sohool build- ings there is accommodation for 206 children, and in the now room lately provided accommoda- tion for 34. Total accommodation provided 240 The average attendance since the re-opening after the mid-summer holidays until September 20th, 1907, is 196. (2) The school buildings are maintained in a high state of efficiency. Within the last three years £ 140 has been expended on them to meet the exacting demands of the Local Education Authority. Except in the matter of desks, which the L.E.A. have in spite of every appeal, neg- lected to provide, the present sohools will com- pare favourably with most of the scaools in the county, either provided or non-provided. (3) Nonconformists, as such, have no right to complain. An amicable arrangement was ar- rived at many months ago, whereby the child ren of Nonconformists were taught the Bibla only, when Churoh children received the addi- tional definite teaching of the Prayer Book. As out of the seven teachers on the staff, four are Nonconformists; thia arrangement was found easy of accomplishment, and has since been faith- fully carried out. What we as managers deplore, and what ail parishioners should deplore and resent, if thev only had the education of the children at heart,, is, that our public representatives, after having for years turned a deaf ear to the appeals of the managers and the warnings of your Board (o in- crease the number and efficiency of the leaching staff, should now be so eager to plunge the parish into hundreds, if not thousands, of pounds additional rates, simply and solely to please tin eccentricities of a handful of extremists.

A c arrespondent writes:—This new association which has fo its object the promotion of breeding high-class dogs, poultry, pigeons, cage birds, cats, rabbits, etc., has gone ahead with an enthusiasm, and with a suppoit which go to prove how much the district was in need of such an institution. New members continue to be elected at the fortnightly meetings of the committee, and at the present rate it would not be surprising to hear of 100 names oeiug on the books by Christmas. The committee is wise in deciding not to risk any great liability, such as a large show, until there is a substantial guarantee fund at the bank. As already announced, Sir Charles McLaren, Bart., M.P., is president, Colonel Sandbach, chairman of committee, and among the vice presidents are the following names: Lady Augusta Mostyn, General H. S. Grough, C.B C.M.G. (Lieut.-Governor of Jersey) and Mra Gough, Lord Mostyn, the Hon. L. A. i'lsvdriok, Mr James Porter, Mr Ephraim V\ ood. J.P., D.L., Mr George Barker, Mr R. Norton, Mr R. J.

poJn'tjlQg out tihat two of the five boys had Soattaflh natm.ee (LauglhJtea-). Mr J- E. Powell said he felt atroiwly tibut the girls ought to have different treatment to tMalt of the boys- He had aliwayja said ao. be- cause, physically, they could not compete with tihe men in tjhese stiff ex aimi nations. Buit it was the rule in tihe county t!h*t the boys and gilds must be treated alike, and the Commit- tee must aooeipt the rules as they were. OOLWYN BAY MANAGERS. ABERGELE REPRESENTATION IN- CREASED. The Oomimititee prooeeded to the election of managers for the Codwyn Bay School distriot, consequent upon the resolution of the pduca- cahion Oommflttee to alter tihe proportion of repneeeiubarftion as between the Abergele and Codwy.n Bay portions of the d'istriot from 3 and 9 reepeotiveJy to 5 and 7 respectively. The Clerk read the following list of the members of the Committee, with t.heir attend- ances as supplied, by Mr F: J. Holmes, olerk to the district managers:—The Rev. Jothm Ed- wards 13, Mrs T \1. Jon.es 11, Mms Berth. Jones 8. the Rev. Thoo. Lloyd 8, Mr T. G. Os- bonn 4, the Rev. Meredith J. Hughes 2. the Rev J. H. Hope 8, tihe Rev. J Frimston 7, the Rev. Peroer Jones 5. Mr H. E. Pritohard 4, Mr W. Griffith 1, and tihe Rev- Francis Jones 1, the possible number of attendances being 14. It was pointed out that tihe two Colwyn Bay members "vviho had attended' the leaett number of times were Mr T. G. Osborn (four times) and the Rov. Meredith J. Hughes. But even their attendances, it was explained, wore bet- ter tha.n the attendances of the Abergele re- presentm..ti ves. Mr W. Griffith said he did not thank the Abergele metmibera had been fairly treated, be- cause the Attendance Committee for tihat dis- tricst met at Abergele instead of Uolwyn Bay, and he had' only missed one of. theso meetings, which were raora&jy. The Chairman drew attention to the fact the* Mr Griffith was only down for one attendance out of the 14. Mr W. Griffith: But you ought to make a rerna.rk about t.he attendance a.t Abergele. Mr J. E. Powell: Quite right. It was decided to suggest to Mr F. J- Holmes that the attendances at the Attendance Com- nuiiWees elhould be sliowin in the annual list. Mr D. S. Davies moved that Mr Osborn and tihe Vicar of Brynymiaen be omitted from the Colwyn Bay list, to reduce the total number to seven. Mr Davies explained that "is reason for naming these gentlemen was that their at- tendance was lowest- Mr E. Alien seconded the proposition, which was carried. DISPUTE FORTUNATELY SETTLED. The Chairman -then asked Mr Griffitih for his suggestions as to the two extra members for Abergiale. Mr W. Griffith I am SJCJf.ry to have to name myselif (laughter)- Mr D. S. Davias: Hear, hear—a good man (laughter). Mr William Griffith: And there is another question in dispute between my colleague here (Mrs Parker Davie») atiid myself, and it is about tlh'is young girl—or rather young lady. She is about thirty, I should sav. and I call that young you see (laughter). You will know the resolution tíhwt wo parsed to have a lady memiber for one of the five, and I just made a. remark to Mrs Parker Davies abowit it. We both agree on tthait question, and you can dhooso between Mr Piitcha.rd and Miss Ro- laertis. I propose tihat the Abetrg-ele five be Mr E. H. MiM-ward- the Hev. Francis Jones, Mr Jo'lin Williams, a farmer from LbniairtaŒ1,a.i- arn, and Miss E. Roberts, from Llanriair- I pnopo.se Mias Roberts to take the pLa03 of Mr Pr.itchard. Mr D. S. Davies: That will be giving throe to Llanfair and two to Abergele. Mr Wi.lka.m Griffith: But Llanfair is the plaoe that had tihe school boa.rd. Mr Davies, and you give tihe managers to the places that have had the school bo¡:.r<1,:1s a rule- The proposition w;,3 seconded. Mrs Pa.rker Davids said .ihe did not see why Mr H. E. Pritehard', who had been a good and fy&thful member, should be put aside for the si .ike of anybody, and so site proposed that Mr PriWliard should retain his place. The Chairman I think it i« only fair to say tihat Mr Pritdhaird, out of the three Abergele members, io the only one who has made four attendances. Mltl, Parker Davies: I believe lie Ls v-ery roe- gular. Muss Geo: someone- toJ-1 is something about Mr Williams, c.f Llajiia.ir ? Mr William Griffiilh: He is a you nig man. and we want new blood in thow matters. We w-ant to get the J'own.g men to start in the work, and to take an inteo.it in education. Every- thing d'e-jrendis cur young men. Mass Gee suggested that thoy r-lhoui'd elect Mr Gr:ffitih and the lady from Llanfair. Mr D- S. Davies: I am rather loath to take away one old mci.nbc»r, who i. very faithful, in order to put on a now e-n-e. I a;-co::d Mrs Par- ker Dn vi'c. Miss Gee: I propose the lady. Mr W. Griffith was asked whether he would agree to Mrs Parker Davies' proposition. He was placed in tho predicament of having to vote against a iady whichever way he voted, but he decided to assent to Mrs Parker Davies' amend- ment, which was carried unanimously. CENTRAL WELSH BOARD. Mr J. E. Powell and Mr D. S. Davies were re- elected members of the Central Welsh Board. Mr Davies remarked that Denbighshire was the only county in Wales that had two members on tho executive. Those members were Mr Powell and himself (hear, hear). SINGLE SCHOOL AREAS. On the motion of tho Chairman, it was de- cided to apply to the Board of Education for grants, under the regulations for the allotment of Treasury grant for tho building of provided schools in areas in which there are only denomi- national sehools, in respect of tho following par- ishes Brymbo, Bylchau (near Denbigh), Eglwys- bach, Ponfcfadog, Gwersyllt, Llanelidan, Lbnft. hangel Glyn Myfyr, Llantysilio (near Llangollen), Minera, and Penycae. The clerks were di- rected to serve the notices, under tho Act of 1902, of the authority's intention to provide schools in these areas, and the following sub- committee were given full power to act. in the matter: Messrs W. G. Dodd (chairman), Edward Roberts, Christmas Jones, John Allen, John S. Jones, W". J. Williams, J. Wilcoxon, and Gomer Roberts. COUNTY SCHOLARSHIPS. It was reported that David Ellis, of Penyfed, Tynant, near Cerrigydruidion, and John Evan Jones, Cysylog, Maerdre, wore granted scholar- ships of £25 each for two years in 1905. The scholarships were renewable for a third yoar on application, and on receipt of a satisfactory re- port as to the conduct. of the students. The boys were at the Bala County School, the head- master of which gave a very satisfactory report as to t.heir progress. Margaret I'ugh Jones, London House, Llansilin, and Nellio Jones, Pen- tre, Llanarmon, were similarly reported upon by the headmaster of the Llangollen County School, thoy holding scholarships granted in the same way. All tho scholarships- wore unanimously re- newed for tho third year. RUTHIN OLD GRAMMAR SCHOOL. Tho question of the,oid grammar school build- ings was raised on a suggestion by tho Ruthin Evoking Schools Committee, that, possibly the building^might be obtained for elementary edu- cation purposes—as an infant school—and then the present infant school building might be used for the evening and continuation classes. Mr J. C. Davies said that this would be quite possible, under a section of the Act of 1907. time if they made the offer. He did not be- lieve that the t rupees would allow the building to bo converted into an infant school. Mr John Roberts said that the trustees were in a queer position. They could neither give nor sell the old grammar school building. The matter was referred to the Staff Com- mittee for consideration and report. CONFERENCE RE TEACHERS' SALARIES. It was reported chat the Flintshire, Merioneth- shire, Montgomeryshire, and Wrexham Educa- tion Committees would join in the proposed con- ference on teachers' salaries, intended to enable a uniform sys'.ein for North Wales to be arrived at. The Anglesey Education Committee stated that having adopted a scalc of salaries, and finding that same was working smoothly, they were un- able to see their way clear to join in the pro- posed conference. A letter from the Carnarvonshire Education Committee was read stating that the matter had been under consideration, and that it had been resolved that representatives be not appointed. The organiser was directed to write to the Carnarvonshire Education Committee asking ¡ them to reconsider the matter. WELSH TEACHING SCHEME. MUST BE ENFORCED AT TROFARTH.

Lon- don, and his wife, as headmaster and «upple- men'.ary tearlier reviect-vcly. The Organiser ad did that he had written tho correspondent calling the attention of the managers to the fact t hat. neither Mr nor M rs Barker were quaUied logivo instruction in Welsh, and that th:, Tm- farth School was con wher" instruction in W !sh must. be given; and in tho 010":) of the infants tho lessons must be given mainly in Welsh. A fur'her letter from the correspondent was produced, stating that owing to the state of Mr Parker's heaHh, tho managers did rot fed junti- fid in adhering to the appointment.

and the following reply of the secretaries thereto of the 8th August were read:— "We are in receipt of your letter of the 5th inst. withdrawing your tender of £1560, which we will submit to the Education Committee, and write you thereafter_whether they are prepared to allow you to withdraw your tender, in view of the fact that you accepted the terms of the resolution passed by the Building Committee on the 14th June, 1907, and that your accepted tender has been duly stamped, and your pro- posed security for the due performance of the contract accepted by the committee on the 18th ultimo.

It was decided that Messrs R. Evans ffnd Son be informed that the committee did not see a sufficient reason for allowing them to withdraw their tender, and that the committee had no ob- jection to the work being commenced in the spring. COLWYN BAY INFANTS. The Board of Education sent a letter approving of the use of the two rooms in the Welsh Con- gregational Church for the temporary accommo- dation of the infants, pending the carrying out of the proposed enlargement of the school pre- mises.

The following correspondence was read:- (a) Letter from Board of Education, dated 2nd August, enquiring whether the L.^E.A. are pre- pared to submit fresh proposals to the Board for providing additional accommodation at Colwyn. (b) The following extract from Mr F. J. Holmes' letter of tihe 8th September:—"A sub- 'der various comniittee met here to-d%v to cons, I)ieccg of land for the proposed alterations to the above school, but nothing wasl settled, the feeling of the members being rather than to spend money irfpurchasing the property adjoin- ing the school, which would cost about £1500, it would bo better to go in for a new site, say for the boys' school, and leave the present school for the girls and infants." The committee decided that the subject be deferred until tho result, of further enquiries as to a site is communicated by the district man- agers to the secretaries, and that then the Joint Committee already appointed meet the managers vr?vii Bay to discuss the same the view at Col of reporting thereon a,' a futuro meeting of the committee. BIG SCHOOL FOR THE BAY. EXPENSIVE SCHEME IN EMBRYO. Mr F. J. Holmes reported that at a recent meeting of the Colwyn Bay District Managers, the enlargement of the Conwav-road Council. School, Colwyn Bay, was discussed; but as the number of children is at present 520, and by the time the alteration will be finished the number would be larger than the accommodation pro- vided, the members feel that instead of spending money on the proposed enlargement of the pre- sent school, your committee ought seriously to 'dor t I I c,()n-.i. -tio advisab*t'tv of acqulrln, a s;te for a new school in C,-?lwyn Bay.-After considerable discuss,'?on it was ulLliiiately resolved that a sub- committee, consisting of Messrs W.
