AMMAN VALLEY SCHOOLS. I A Long Walk and a Promised Con-1 veyance. The Amman Valley school managers met at Brynamman on Wednesday even- i ing, the Rev. W. D. Thomas in the chair; Aid. W. J. Williams intimated that tlye l County Education Committee had ag-rjed to defray the postages of head teac'/her« in the Council Schools. Complaint of under-staffing was made from the Brynamman mixed school, and despite a recent refusal from Ue Edu- cation Committee, the reoonumaid'ation was made that the staff be strengthened. Miss S. H Isaac, headmistress of the Brynamman Infants' School, tendered notice of resignation. She thanked the managers for the kindness PJld courtesy Ehovin during her 17 years'servic-e. I Ald. W. J. Williams said fhey regretted losing the valued service a2 Miss Isaac, but at the same time congratulated her on the circumstances unc/er which it was given. A resolution of protest .vas passed against the action of the Eluc^jtion Committee in transferring a certificated teacher ap- pointed at the Blaenau School to another school against her own wishes, and to the detriment of the former. It was reported that the children of the Nebo School, whiei. had been closed, were still at large, d--E.,yite the Education Com- mittee's promise.1 to ,engage a conveyance to take them iv, the Ammanford School. The inhabitants of the district also re- gretted that the school had been closed, as the children already attending had to Btand on thecir feet all day after walking over throe miles, owing to the Amman- ford School being overcrowded. The Clurk said that the Committee 'had half pixiarjised a conveyance. The Chairman:, It was a promise with a loopfoole. TIIQ Rev. J. Edryd Jones; A promise niacin to be broken. 1st was agreed that the matter be brought to the notice of the Committee. The Education Committee wrote that in view of the difficulty in obtaining mat- j erial for blinds at the present time, it was desired that the teachers should en- deavour to adopt some other method of subduing lights in the evening classes. The managers, however, declined to ac- quiesce in this. and recommended, that blinds be provided in all the evening schools. One headmaster wrote that he was afraid the evening classes in his school would have to be abandoned owing to the lack of window blinds and the Committee's Tefusal. —

Sudan dates, equal to the Persian Gulf dates, are now -being imported into this country. An Isle of Wight coroner's jury re- turned a verdict that the death of Gunner Samuel Smith was caused by an accidental fall and accelerated by his extremely poor physical condition. A man handed to an appeal tribunal a certificate that he was suffering from "nervousness," and Mr. D. Maclean,, M.P., chairman, said that perhaps it will disappear under the action of the drill ser- geant..

I COHHESPDN DhNCE. [Letters to the Editor should be brief, to I tht. point, and about something. Cor- respondents should send their names and addresses, not necessarily for publication.] I THE CHURCH ON TRIAL. I To the Editor. I Sir.-The National Mission is about to t be launched on its momentous course, and it ig.cf vital importance that all obstacles to its success should be ruthlessly swept U"v aj. One of the most obvious of these hind- rances is surely 'the iact that those deter- rent to the missionary work of the Church —ue-v renta and seat appropriation—are rite throughout the land, For instance, in I the great industrial diocese of Manchester we find on reference to the Diocesan Directory that only some 44 per cent. of the churches are given as being free from pew rents, and great manufacturing towns are to be found in which two or three ufjurches only are free. In ordinary mis- sions it is u..mal for seatholders to be asked to waive their privileges for the time of the mission. Apparently the Council of the National Mission have issued no instruc- tions, nor have 'they given any advice on this important point. We trust that those wn) arc responsible for the arrangements will insist on the absolute necessity of a cordial welcome being given to all comers by making all seats free for at least the duration of the mission. Then there is the Question of the return of our soldiers from the war. We all know the disastrous effect that the words, You're in my pew have so often had upon the returned wanderer. How often has this treatment formed an excuse for iion-a».Lendance at public worship! May it never be pleaded in future.—Yours, etc.. I KXXNAjuD E.
