TREGARON COUNTY SCHOOL.
TREGARON COUNTY SCHOOL. THE formal opening of the new buildings of Tregaron County School, on Friday last, was signalised with much rejoicing. The proceedings were carried out in a manner which reflected the greatest credit on all concerned. Everything connected with the function was characterised by that admirable temper, and vigorous spirit, and thorough- ness with which the management of the school has been carried on from the very first hour of its establishment. Tregaron School is the youngest of the five schools which have been established under the Cardiganshire scheme for Intermediate Education. It is just two years old, and hitherto it has been housed in temporary premises, the Town Hall having been fitted up to meet, as well as could be under the circumstances, the scholastic requirements of the present day. Henceforward the School will work under greatly altered and vastly improved conditions. The new build- 0' ing, opened on Friday by Mrs. DAVIES EVANS, wife of COLONEL H. DAVIES-EVANS, Lord Lieutenant of the County, is a credit to the town and district for whose educa- tional needs it has been constructed. It has been supplied with admirable plant and apparatus for general school purposes, and for the chemical and physical laboratories. A noteworthy circumstance connected with the opening deserves special notice—the buiding has been opened absolutely free from debt. This single fact speaks for itself. Situated in a 'lie i, hbo-,ii-lioo(I where wealth does not abound, where the inhabitants are sparse, and certainly not rich, Tregaron has per- formed an achievement which is as remark- able as it is praiseworthy. When the promoters of the movement, which has resulted in the founding of the schoor at Tregaron, set about their work, they wre-l met with a condition that £1,150 would have to be raised in subscriptions before their laudable desire of having a school in their town could be realised. They were not discouraged, nor did they lose faith in their undertaking. At first a few keen men had dreams and saw visions; soon, these began to assume tangible farms and shapes and bodies, till, at last, what seemed at the beginning airy nothings," were given a local habitation and a name." We cordially congratulate these workers in the cause of education in the Tregaron district. We felicitate them on their staff, who have had most excellent success. under rather limited opportunities and in contracted temporary class-rooms, and on the number of pupils on the school roll. To have 75 pupils in a thinly populated district speaks volumes for the zeal of the governors, the high character of the teaching staff, and the desire of the neighbourhood for higher education. It is very deserving of notice that, in the short space of the, school's existence-covering only two years,-126 pupils have passed through the school. This is an excellent proof of the wisdom of the promoters of the Welsh Intermediate School Schemes, when they established as many' county schools as possible in Wales, and not one here and there in the largest towns. Against those who too frequently []carp] at this, we would quote MATTHEW ARNOLD: —" If there is one thing which my foreign experience has left me convinced of,-as convinced of as I am of our actual want of superior instruction it is this, that we must take this instruction to the students, and not hope to bring the students to the instruction." While we congratulate Tre- garon school for its work in the past, we equally cordially desire it abundant success in the future. We would repeat here what one of the speakers said at the opening ceremony: Let the whole district shew confidence in the school, and speak well of it, and do everything in their power to send their children to it. The town and neigh- O bourhood are not without its splendid educational and religious traditions." Not far off is Ystrad Meurig, the glories of which, extending over a century and a half, have not yet died away. The foundation of EDWARD RICHARD did such service in the cause of education to that part of our County as well as to Wales generally, that it is impossible for us to adequately measure its value. It may be that we shall not see for many a generation, pupils from Tregaron writing purer Latin than their mother tongue, as was said of the pupils of EDWARD RICHARD, still, we are confident that in the roll of a few years, many a pupil will be trained at the new school, whose memory the neighbouring district, and, perhaps, the entire Principality, will not readily forget. Should the Governors of the school, or the teaching staff in the performance of their noble, but arduous duties, or any of the young pupils, at any time flag in their enthusiasm, they have not far to go to kindle it into a flaming fire. Let them proceed to the square there they may behold, set up on high, the image of man, graven by a cunning hand, who with outstretched hand, bids them be of good cheer. It is impossible to think of the Welsh County Schools, least of all can we think of Tregaron County I School, without being reminded of HENRY RICHARD. He it was—a native of Tregaron and a patriot to the very core—who, as far back as 1844, stood in the breach to defend the character of Wales against the severest attacks on its intelligence and morals, and brought about the establishment of Normal Colleges for training teachers, first at Brecon, and then at Swansea. And in 1847; when the Llyfrau Gleision were published, the same veteran was again our great Apologist. In 1866, his letters to the "Morning "and "Evening Star" did more than anything that history records to remove the prejudices which prevailed in England and amongst Englishmen with respect to the Welsh language and antiquity. Mr. GLADSTONE himself acknowledged how his views on these matters had been changed by a perusal of those striking letters, and recommended them to the attention of his countrymen. It is well known that Mr. RICHARD was one of the Departmental Com- mittee, appointed in|August, 1880, to inquire into the condition of Intermediate and Higher Education in Wales-an inquiry which resulted in the establishment of the County Schools. Nor should we on the present occasion forget the Rev. EBENEZER RICHARD, worthy father of a worthy son. The- work he did in connection with the Sunday-schools was a noble prelude to the work, educational and political, of his son. If the eloquent and godly EBEN. RICHARD had not catechised, there had now been no need of a County School at Tregaron. He lies in the neighbouring churchyard, not far from the statue of his son, but his work is intimately connected with that inaugurated on Friday. All honour to these pioneers. They were leaders of the people by their counsels, and, by their knowledge of learning, meet for the people, wise and eloquent in their instructions. Their bodies are buried in peace but their name liveth for ever- more." The promoters of educational interests in Tregaron have glorious traditions to maintain, and we have no doubt that they .will worthily keep up these traditions; and, in this high aim, they have our sincerest best wishes.
_---THE SEASON.
THE SEASON. THE Season has opened well, and there is every prospect that the watering places along the Coast will have a fairly busy and prosperous summer. To presume to give an adequate forecast of the prosperity of a season would, perliaps, be a vain attempt; for there is one, factor—and a very variant factor it is—with which we must reckon, that is in itself enough to make or mar a season. Barring the weather, we have good reasons for believing, that everything else points to a successful season, and that our seaside resorts wilL.again, during the coming months, reap a full share of patronage. We are glad to fiod that arrangements have been made for an excellent service of through trains between the Coast and London, and the popular centres of the Midlands and South Wales. Since last, summer, a large- number of new houses have been built at Aberystwyth, Aberdovcy, Towyn, and Barraouth, and the increased accommoda- tion at these places demand an improved railway service. Several important improve- ments have been made during the past winter by the local authorities, and also by private enterprise. Aberdovey and Bar- mouth have now an excellent supply of pure water; and Towyn has made rapid strides in buildings and street improvements. We cannot, however, report much progress from Aberayron. Railway communication, of course, is a great drawback to that place, but there are other things more essential to the making of a successful watering-place than train service. Aberayron lacks a proper system of water supply, lighting, and drain- age. Given these advantages, there is no reason why Aberayron should not become one of the most flourishing resorts on the Coast, notwithstanding the fact that it cannot be reached by railways. We are glad to find that the Urban District Council is going to grapple with the question of water supply at Aberayron. We trust that the ratepayers will give their local authority every support and encouragement, and that they will not tolerate any individual to counteract and usurp their powers. The best, and, we believe, the only way for Aberayron to advance to prosperity is for the community I to work out its own salvation, and not to put its faith in railways. Excellent preparations for the season have been made at Aber- stwyth, the town has undergone a thorough spring cleaning, and no effort has been spared to do everything that can be done for the convenience and comfort of visitors.
- NOTES AND COMMENTS. ON
NOTES AND COMMENTS. ON THE circulation of the WELSH GAZETTE is already larger than that of any other weekly in the county. In another column we publish an interesting review on the Welsh mines during the past year. The article is based on the last report of Her Majesty's Inspector of Mines. A Manchester librarian of practical ex- perience writes The Welsh Gazette" is a bright paper and quite a model of what a local paper ought to be. The list of books printed at Aberystwyth is a useful contribu- tion, and if the good example were followed in every other place in the British Isles there would be some hope for a comprehen- sive British bibliography. With such lists in his possession a professional biblio- grapher could take up the work, and with. competent assistance might produce n" really satisfactory piece of work. At a meeting of colliers at Hirwain on Saturday night, Mr. D. A. Thomas, who has hitherto opposed the Eight Hours Bill announced that he had modified his views on it, and as the miners of South Wales, whom he represented in Parliament, had joined the Federation of Great Britian, he would vote for the Bill. He urged them to continue to organise, and denonnced the undercuttrng which prevailed among. South. Wales coalowners. Now that Mr. D. A. Thomas has been converted, we wonder whether his backers will lrave enough good grace to climb down. The question of aesthetic ism in posters has engaged the attention of reformers for some time past. Much good has been enected, but much remains to be done. There is a society for the suppression of rural. advertisements "truly rural," in the '^country/' There seems to be no reason why there should not be one for towns. It would be well, at any rate, if the town authorities had more power in such matters in order to put an end to the process of uglification. Watering places should make every effort to rid themselves of the hideous hoardings which disfigure them, We will some day give the story of the evolution of the post in North Parade, Aberystwyth, into the huge hoardings which disfigure- that charming watering place. Last Friday, a statue of the late Lord Aber- dare, who was Home Secretary in Mr. Glad- stone's first Government, and first President of the University College of Wales, Aber- ystwyth, was unveiled by 1\1h Thomas Davies, of Bootle. The statue is a duplicate of the original in bronze erected some years, ago at Cardiff, and has been presented to Aberystwyth Colleg.e by the designer, Mr. Herbert Hampton, of London. Lord Charles Beresford, replying to a. correspondent, says the dearth of British seamen and the fact that their ranks will have to be depleted in war time by taking away their finest specimens for the Royal Sayal Reserve constitute, in his opinion, a serious danger to the maritime interests of this country. It may, perhaps, be news to many that, in proportion to population, gallant little Wales supplies more Jack Tars than any other country iii- the Kingdom. Wales, moreover, can pride herself on the quality as well as the number of her seamen. In another column we publish an interesting- ar ticle in the vernacular on The Sailors of Wales." Miss Frances Power Cobbe has written the following inscrintinn fnv +1. +. •(— O 1/ l.i.v lUWlJUJIHJiU tJ the stewardess of the Stella "g- In Mem- ory of the Heroic Death of Mary Anne Rogers, Stewardess of the Stella, who, amid the confusion and terror of shipwreck, aided all the passengers under her charge to quit the vessel. in safety giving her own life-belt to one who was unprotected.

Actions such as these—Stead- fast performance of duty in the face of death, reatfy self-sacrifice for sake of others, reli- ance on God-constitute the glorious herit- age of our English race. They deserve per- petual commemoration because among the trivial pleasures and sordid strife of the world they recall to us for ever the nobility and love-worthiaess of husaaji nature," ¡ Another Sunday newspaper has come to an f end. The London papers announce. that the issue of The Sunday Daily Telegraph has been discontinued. Seven-day journalism has been forced to yield to public opinion. The present agitation has not only stamped out the Sunday newspapers, but it has also considerably modified the ton& of certain arrogant weeklies. We need not go far- from Aberystwyth for an example as amusing to the public as it must be humiliating to the edited-. The 23rd annual meetings of the National British Women's Temperance Association were held last week in London. Over 700 delegates were present, representing 85,000 women in all parts of the country. The repor ts of all Departments showed gratifying progress in numbers, new branches, finances, and in the impression made on public opinion. Special attention was given in Lady Henry Somerset's Presidential ad- dress to the question of the baneful influence of the liquour traffic on child-life, and a resolution was passed pressing the urgent importance of stopping the sale of drink to children. The Mayor of Llangeitho desires, through the columns of the WELSH GAZETTE, to thank most heartily those gentlemen who have congratulated him on the opening of the Llangeitho Telegraph office. Congratulatory messages were received from London, Welsh- pool, Newport, Newcastle Eml vn. A Lfvr.. stwyth, and Tregaron. Miss Morgan, Llanilar, had the pleasant duty of opening the office, and teaching the mysteries of- telegraphy to the Llangeitho Postmaster and- his daughter. The articles in the WELSH GAZETTE, on the state of the Elementary Schools in Wales with especial reference to Cardiganshire have attracted considerable attention and* we are glad to find, that the teachers of Mid- Cardiganshire are determined to make every effort to remove the reproach which has sullied the fair name of the county in the Chief Inspector's report. It is proposed to. hold a conference at an early data at the, Felinfach Board School, in order to* discuss the vexed question of attendance.. The arrangements are in the hands of Mr. D. Watkins, solicitor, Lampeter,, who is an experienced organiser, and a member of the, School Board. The Southport election has resulted in a. sweeping victory for the Liberals. The majority has been more tbtttx doubled. According to the "Daily Telegraphy a gentleman who does not wish his name. to, be made public has contributed £ 20,000 to- wards liquidating the debt on a number of Presbyterian churches in Wales. At home the great event of the past week was Mr. John M or Ivy's speech at Lydney, in the Forest of Dean. His fearless, straight- forward address is the most notable utter- ance we have had for many a long day either inside or outside Parliament. The speech will be found in another part of this paper, and we commend our readers to mark well his scathing indictment of modern Im- perialism and its demoralizing influences. We also publish in our correspondence columns a timely letber by a well-known London Welshman on the attitude of the Welsh, members on Imperial questions,
