ON Tuesday evening the annual distribution of prizes to members of the shorthand and typewrit- ing class in connection with the Royal Welsh Warehouse Recreation and Improvement Society took place in the Society's room.

Are the head teachers of the County schools to admit whoever they like into our schools -on their own recommendation ? I think the principle is wrong, and we should put our foot down on it. This young man has gone away. He never intended carrying on in an elementary 'school. He came for hia own business, and he got our money and off he goes.—The Chairman: What is your remedy ?—Mr Phillips: I should say that we don't take the recommendations, in the first instance, of the head teachers of the County schools in admitting teachers into our schools. That is one thing. Then there should be an agreement that when a young man is selected he shall sign an agreement that he intends to carry on the duties of a teacher—The Chairman: You must leave that to the Executive.—Mr Phillips: You have not done it in the past.—The Chair- man Well, we will in the future (laughter).
