SOWING WIND; REAPING WHIRLWIND.
SOWING WIND; REAPING WHIRLWIND. To every good citizen, to every man and woman who has the welfare of the community at heart, it must be a matter of genuine regret to find the assembly of. the represen- tatives of the people turned into a pantomime1. Neither party spirit nor personal rancour will justify any member in making use ot the Council Chamber to give vent to his jealous- ies and to heap culumny upon his antagonist. Once elected, the supreme effort of every member should be to do his very best for the well-being of the ratepayers at large; and not to thwart a rival or annoy a foe. To whatever sect or party we may belong, we all are-or ought to,be-anxious to further the best interests of the town. Some members, when in the council, seem not only to forget themselves, but also to forget that they are amenable to the ratepayers. They imagine, one would think, that the Council Chamber is the tilting ground of a Z!1 grand tournament, and that their antics and daring invective gives endless entertainment to the public. It is simply deplorable to find that men who have spared neither time nor energy in the service of the town for well-nigh a whole generation are continually molested in their work by the emissaries of tliej anti-'old gang' policy. Low in the scale of nature there arc creatures that flourish only on morbid products; they fatten on the carrion, but they starve on the live, he ilthy. animal and there are men who welcome confusion and chaos because these states of disorder are in keeping with their theories of life and conduct. Let our readers, for a moment, examine what the anti-'old gang' policy means, and they will find it to be a doctrine as insane in its conception as it is mischievious in its results. It is subversive of law and order; for law and order demand continuity. But the promulgators of the anti-old gang' policy find no qualification in intelligence no virtue in reason and no merit in service. To all alike they proclaim out, out; away, away ye belong to the 1 old gang' and must go > whatever your merits,, whatever your qualifi- cations and length of service." This doctrine, which has been persistently preached in the town during the past years, cannot commend itself to the good sense of any person to whatever party he may belong for the best men of every party love good government, and are wishful that the community in which their lines are cast should have its fair portion of peace and prosperity. It is well- known that the altercations which have disgraced the proceedings of the Council and its committees of late are directly attribut- able to the working of the 'old gang' policy t, Z7) and men who have justly won the respect and esteem of their fellow-townsmen cannot be expected to devote their time to the public service if they are to be harried by the emissaries of that idiotic doctrine. The issue lies with the ratepayers; and we ask every working man and working woman not to be lead astray by such false doctrines- by doctrines which appeal only to the lowest of human motives; namely—passion and prejudice.
WELSH PRIMARY EDUCATION.
WELSH PRIMARY EDUCATION. Ix the last issue of the Schoolmaster," the editor, Dr. MACNAMARA, has a scathing article on Welsh Primary Education. Dr. MAC- XAMARA deals in a forcible manner with the hopeless problem of attendance. In Wales, he maintains, one-fourth of the children are always absent, and in contrast with the English and Scotch Elementary Schools, the Welsh Schools come out "a bad third. In Scotland the percentage of regularity is given as 84.3 per cent.; in England 81.96 and in Wales 76.61. Again, the number of pupils on rolls to each certificated teacher are: in Scotland, 71; in England, 93; and in Wales, 134. "Now, wriggle about it as you like," says Dr. MACNAMARA, there is only one conclusion to all this. Which is, that so far from being at the top of the tree, Wales, in the vital essentials which go to make up a thorough foundation of popular education, is 'a bad third.' Welsh zeal for Intermediate Education we agree," he continues, is ex- ceedingly fine; and it is a grand thing to know that in her county schools there is a permanent teacher for every seventeen pupils. But unless the foundation is over- hauled, the fabric must become increasingly top-heavy." It would be idle to dispute with Dr. MACXAMARA on details—details that are possibly important factors in his statistics—while we agree with him in the main issues. We are well aware that Dr. MACXAMARA enjoys the fullest confidence of the Welsh teachers throughout the Princi- pality and that a large number of them will hail with delight his telling indictment. It is quite true that teachers all over the country, and in Wales especially, are hard- worked—too hard-worked. But it is equally true that Her Majesty's Inspectors are equally hard-worked, in Wales at any r te. In another part of the paper we publish an t important article by Mr.. BEVAN, Head- master of Llanarth Board Schools, on the present state of the Elementary Schools in the counties of Cardigan,. Merioneth, and Montgomery. In giving publicity to Mr. BEVAN'S views,, we feel sure that we are at the same time giving expression to the opinion of the teaching; profession at large. We trust that the facts and figures he gives will go home, and have due effect on those -in authority. Our own experience is that this deplorable state of things is owing, not so much to the inefficiency of the teaching staff as to the indifference of the boards of management. The most intelligent and ,better educated members of our school boards are not always the best supporters of popular education. Sympathy very often does more for progress than culture. More sympathy is wanted between the Boards and Teachers; and better co-operation between the Boards and; the Magistracy. The Welsh, it is true, have an inherent love of learning, but it is also true that they often have to make enormous sacrifice to educate their children., Need we wonder that the Welsh peasant,, who toils from morn till eve on the barren hills, is visited by misgivings as to the rightful claims of education in his daily life, when cultured men like Mr. RIDER HAGGARD are not quite free from the same doubts. Again we repeat, what is wanted is better understanding between all the author- ities concerned,, and more sympathy with the teachers in their arduous work. Mr. DARLINGTON, who can justly claim the eminence of authority on matters pertaining to education in Wales, says in his last report that-" When all possible allowance has been made for special disadvantages, it is impossible to find any justification for such appallingly low averages as are recorded from some parishes. The reasons for the general lowness of attendance are various. In some parts of the district, notably those most under English influence, the responsi; bility appears to be about equally divided between the school attendance authorities and the magistrates. The School Board or School Attendance Committee, when challenged on the subject, throw the blame on the magistrates. The magistrates frequently retoit that cases are sent before them with too little preliminary investiga- tion into the circumstances, and that they cannot do otherwise than deal leniently with such cases.. It certainly is true that cases of irregular attendance are dealt with in far too perfunctory a way by all the authorities concerned. In the case of School Attendance Committees especially, attendance oflicers are frequently inadequately paid and have too wide a district to cover. It is impossible under such circumstances that attendance can be properly looked after." The attend- ance problem is, we admit, a very hard and disheartening one, and the only means of solution is, we believe, more sympathy and better co-operation.
NOTES AND COMNIENTS.
NOTES AND COMNIENTS. THE statue of the late Lord Aberdare, first president of the University College of Wales, Aberystwyth, and Home Secretary in Glad- stone's first Cabinet, now erected in the College Quad., will probably be unveiled in a fortnight's time. It is the plaster of Paris model of the statue now erected at Cardiff, and the sculptor, Mr. Herbert Hampton, whose first public work it is, has presented it to the College. The statue is 9 ft. 6 in. high, and the pedestal 3ft. It is said that Mr. Hampton's work gave great satisfaction to the Aberdare family. THE present summer is an exceptionally interesting one to the Wesleyans of the dis- trict. During the present week the North Wales Annual Synod is held at Dolgelley, and is very largely attended. Next, week the Wesleyans of South Wales will fore- gather at Tre'rddol, where a series of meet- ings will be held. And in June the first Welsh Conference of the denomination will be held at Machynlleth. THE VENERABLE DR. GUINESS. ROGERS, the Grand Old Man of Nonconformity, will pay a visit to Aberystwyth during the week, and will preach on Sunday next at the Eng- lish Congregational Church. Dr. Rogers' name is a household word throughout the country, and in no part of the United King- dom has he sincerer admirers than in the Principality. A life-long friend of Mr. Gladstone, he has taken a leading part in all the great social and political movements of the age. A short time ago he started the idea of the Twentieth Century Fund, which has been called a magnificently audacious scheme," and he is now actively engaged in organizing the Fund. MR. WILLIAM JENKINS, Bookseller, Great Darkgate-street. Aberystwyth, has for sale y an excellent lithographic portrait of the late Mr. T. E. Ellis. The price is only -ix pei-ice. It is by far the best in the market yet, and we should like to see a copy of it in every school throughout the country. TO-DAY the Peace Conference meets at the Hague in the realm of the young Queen, who, apparently by a graceful fancy, fixed the opening of these momentous sittings on the birthday of the Russian Emperor—May 18th. The Conference, which has been truly called" the first Parliament of Man," will deal with questions or world-wide interest, and its chief hope lies not in inducing the nations to lay down their arms, but in get- ting them to submit to arbitration before fighting. If the Conference will succeed in making the principle of arbitration an inter- national law, the human race will have secured a no mean advantage, and many a royal mastiff" which thrives on their life- blood will be for ever muzzled. AT the General Assembly of the Calvinistic Methodists at Liverpool, on Tuesday, the Rev. Thomas Roberts, Bethesda, was elected Moderator for the ensuing year. Born in 1836 of humble but respectable parents, lie had to leave scl" 1 at an early age. He worked for a shcu time on his uncle's farm, and afterwards became a compositor at the Banner office, under Mr. Thomas Gee He has risen by his own unaided efforts to take a leading place in the counsels of his brethren. The Ilev. J. E. Davies, M.A., pastor of New Jewiu Chapel, London, was unanimously elected Secretary,
