Owen presidod over a meeting of the committee held at the Workhouse on Wednesday.—Rev R. iichards, rectoi of Darowen, wrote to call attention to the unsatisfactory state of the attendance at the school.

The number on the looks was 88, and during the month of June of last jear the attendance averged 56, but during the corssponding month of this year the attendance had rallen to 47. He thought that the attendance officer should visit the school at least once a month. Unless the attendance was regular it was utterly impossible to bring the scholars up to a proper staidard of efficiency-The Attendance Officer (Mr Howell) was instructed to call upon the par<ii!-e tl ose -L;ld -ren -who did not attend regulai'iy an- thnt proceedings ftgifcst tt .oni unleKSTTtK-m wnu an improvement i44 vie attendance.
