MINING CLASSES. SWANSEA COMMITTEE SEEK FURTHER INFORMATION. Tbe Swansea Education Committee mot on Monday, Mr. Ivor H. Gwynne, J. P. (ehaírman), presiding. Mi'. Trevor Owen, hearh.na.ster at the C!ramma i- School reported that I/eslie Boyle had won a £ 60 open scholarship- ai Peter house College, Cambridge, whicb would la IT him throughout, itis University career. Boyle had gone to the Grammar School with ail ordinary M-hntarship from thf-, -j school, and he had won bis way !>v sheer and fie i'ia(l -,vo,,i Iii-s wav 1..v s h eer Mining instruction. Xha following report was presented by Alderman Morgan Tutton and Dr. Varley on their visit to the recent con- ference re the co-ordination of mining ,instruction :—" We attended on your behalf the adjourned. meeting to consider the proposed formation of au advisory committee for Mining Edu- cation for the South Wales Coalfields. It was decided to accept the -oheme of the old South Wales and Monmouth- shire Mining Education Board, whereby that Board was to be reformed upon more. representative liiie6, including "inter alia" a representative appointed by the Corporation. The total number of members of the Board is to he .13, and it is proposed that the expenses should be divided amongst the authori- ties represented in proportion to the number of members appointed. The total cost is estimated at not more than £ 100 or so per annum, so that the cost to our authority will be very small. The proposed Board should be oi 'she greatest assistance in co-ordinating Mining Instruction throughout South Wales, instruction in which, we trust, our Technical Collv-ge will take an active part in the future." Dr. Varley said that if that authority appointed a representative upon the Advisory Board it would mean the ex- penditure of about L4 per annum ex- clusive of expenses of attending the ;meeting.s. The object of the commit- toon was to co-ordinate the whole of the mining instruction throughout the South- Wales coalfield. Mr. F. J. Parker pointed out that at the last meeting they were told that the proposed mining schcol for Swan- sea would not cost tho. ratepayers a penny piece. The Chairman agreed that ho lad paid that the ochool would not "st them anything, but this Advi_ sory Beard would be quite seperate tron the school. 2\Jr. Parker took it that the Board would be initiatory to the college, and thev were i*r>w asked to pay one thirty- third of £100. Alluding to the report of the delegates, he asked if the scholarships were to be provided by the advisory committee or the local authorities Dr. Varley replied that the scholar- ships would, be provided by tho local ktrfchorities. The object of the advisory board t* as to have an uniform system. Mineivl Fae"ation Attitude I Mr. David Wuiiams (ex-Mayor), un- derstood that the Miners' Federation had withdrawn support from the nebcin e. He wanted in formation as to the reason for this withdrawal. Dr. Varley repHed. that the Miners Federation objected to a link in the educational ehipii—the mining school at i)v tl,.e coal owners. He thought The federa- tion had misunderstood the matter, as students from all over the South Waies eoalheki could enter the school, not only nominations from the coal owner. It was the hope that the Federation would return tIleilsupport tot ht- scheme as thev could be of great assistance- Mr."David Williams thought tbeTe was more point in Mr. Parker's ques- 7 tion that he had been given credit tor. If the question of mining education was a national one. the nation should pro- vide it and the people should control it. They had distinctly been given to understand that tins education would be provided without costing the rate- payers anything at pl]. -I! the local authorities were the onn.,tituei-it authorities of this organisation, and w-ere going to provide the wherewithal in necessitous cases he did not think they were having the amount of repre- sentation to which they were entitled. The chairman said that at the Mon- mouth meeting Mr. Wm. Jones had contended tilot they would have the control to which Mr. Williams had re- ferred. Whpn the offer was made, it was distinctly understood that the Rchoel would be erected and equipped without cost to the ratepayers, and managed by them. The matter brought up to-day was quite a separate one. An Adviscry Committee. Alderman Tutton agreed that it was simply an advisory committee to carry out what was of paramount importance to tho whole of the mining community. Up to the present there had not been that inspection and supervision that the miners themselves had the right to expect. The idea was that students should not be excluded through needi- ness or poverty, etc. from entering these mining schools. Mrs. H. D. Williams moved that, in- asmuch as the lady members of the com- mittee had not received dopies of the report, the matter be deferred until the next meeting. Mr. David Williams seconded, and added that the clerk shouid write to the secretary of the Miners' Federation asking the reason why they had objected to the scheme. If the scheme was all that was claimed for it, he oould not un- derstand why the Miners' Federation, which would have benefitted most from it had objected to it. There must be something important against it before the Miners' Federation would throw the whole weight of their organisation against it. I With Mr. Williams' addition the motion to defer was carried. Training College. I When tho minutes of the Training I College Sub-Committee came up. Principal Salmon referred to the incon- venience which had been occasioned by the cutting off of the supply of water at the mains, and that. the,decision of the Sub-Committee to instruct the Archi- tect and Borough Engineer to consider the question of providing a sufficient reserve of water for emergency. Mr. Wvrill had recommended that a main should be laid before the read was made and connected with the storage reservoir above the oollege. On the motion Of Mr. Powlesland, tho matter was left in the hands of the Committee. A Medical Distinction. On the report of the Provision of Meals and Medical Inspection of chil- dren Sub-Committee being considered, Mrs. H. D. Wiflia-m-s said she noticed that a number of children who were tubercular were attending school, but there were other cases that the Medical Officer did not allow to attend. She wanted to know why this differentia- tion was made. She knew of one child o was not allowed to attend school, and he could neither read nor write. If it was right not to allow a ohild to attend -school in one case, then it was wrong to allow 213 other children who were tubercular, to attend. Aid. W. H. Holmes said it was a question of the stage of the disease. If it was a case of tuberculosis in a child which had gone so far as to make it infectious, then the Medical Officer did not allow that child to attend school. With regard to the 213 ca6es the prob- ability was that they were in tho first (stage. Mr. David" Williams said the case to which Mrs. Williams referred was that of n. lad nine or ten years of age, and alt.-hough lie was prevented from going to school, he was allowed to with other children in the neighbourhood, and to drink from the same cup that they drank from, and this was a greater source of infection to the other! children than if the lad were allowed to attend school. Open Air Schools. Mr. D. Matthews said he raised the matter last month, and tho Medical Officer of Health and the Architect had been instructed to make a compre- hensive report in regard to the pro- vision of open air schools to deal With these cases. They wanted to see whether it was possible to isolate in- fectious cases and to deal with the miid cases as well. Mr. J. Powestand said he had seen children separited from other children by having special classes in «band stands in. the parks. One place to which he particularly referred was §t..fames' Gardens, London. if it were Po&Sible for oth-or authorities to commence to deal with, the matter in that way, surely it was possible for Swansea, to do the same. Mrs. Williams complained that tl-ei committee was moving too slowly \hile! consumption was getting more ram- pant amongst children every day. Wiry, she asked, could nut they use the band- stand at Morriston. She moved th, ^something be done at once. j f ,M t: D. Matthews moved to add the words "at the next meeting" to the resolution relating to a comprehensive report. This was seconded and agreed to. The minutes were then adopted.
