AT a meeting oi the Education Committee j on Thursday evening last the follow'in? peti- j tion, signed by fifTy-seven of the parents of rhe rural children who have l;cen ii, I e (I from the Urban Schools, was read: To tire Chairman and Members of the Edu- c;stion Committee Gentlemen, —We. i':e undersigned parents and guardians of the undermentioned children, who have been excluded by your direction from attending at the Old .Road Schools, beg lespectfully to ask yuti to re- consider your resolution, with a view of rescinding it, so as to enable uurehildreui to resume attendance at ih< above school.

He believed if they were to -explain to the Board of Education i that they were willing to accept a lesser sum than 17s. 6d. per head from the County Edu- cation Committee, it might lead to a settle- tuent of the question. A statement was made ai the police court proceedings that the I County contributed to one of the counties the mean cost of the education rate in the dis- trict, which came to 15s. per head. If their Committee would agrees with, the Board of Education to accept that figure for a settle- ment, they might direct it to be done, or, failing that, the Board of Education could de- duct from the amount of the grants to the County Committee, and. hand it over to the Llanelly ( .mm/!itee. Mr. Simlett thought it a great hardship on the ehildvi-n now that, rhe ease had been ad- journed (or twee weeks. They (I TI t in Pclioul until September. 1112 liLlt.ildl was agreed tn.

EDUCATION COMMITTEE. I 0 PARENT AND MASTER'S PUNISHMENT. I A meeting of the, Education Committee was held on Thursday evening Mr. Win. Roberts presiding. The other members present were Mrs. Phillips, Mrs. Thomas, Messrs. Evan Evans, John Simlett, Joseph Roberts, Thos. Jones, D. R. Jones, D. James Davies, and F. Vivian, together with the Clerk (Mr. Ifor Watkins). HEADMASTER'S PUNISHMENT. I The Clerk read a letter from Mrs. Jones, Dynevor Castle, complaining of the, refusal of the head teacher of Park Street School to ad- mit her child to school. The reasons given were that he had not attended regularly U dur- ing tlie last month or so. She pointed out that on all occasions her son had been kept home on the instructions of her medieal ad- viser, Dr. Roderick, and on resuming, it ap- peared, he was unable to do a certain sum, and Mr. Howell struck him on the knuckles, which caused considerable trouble. Now that the child had been refused admission, she desired the Committee to inform her whether any headmaster had a right to do what he liked with the children of the urban parents. The Clerk read a note from Mr. Howell, in which lie said that the boy was leaving the yards, and his mother refused to let him attend school because he was smacked. He was very irregular in his attendance. He (the Clerk) had seen the headmaster, who ex- plained that the boy was receiving an arith- metic lesson, and Mr. Howell called the boy out and questioned him. He admitted rap- ping him on the knuckles. Mr. Evan Evans: With what did he rap him on the knuckles—with a ruler or cane ? The Clerk: With a cane. The Chairman said the statements were contradictory. The mother said the boy was refused admission, and Mr. Howell said otherwise. Mr. Simlett: Can we have a. report as to the irregularity of the boy at school? The Chairman: I thought you knew of every individual child at that school, Mr. Simlett. Mr. Simlett: No, I don't (laughter). It was decided to reply to the mother stat- ing that if she undertook that the boy would attend regularly in future he would be re- admitted. DAMAGES TO A SCHOOL WINDOW. I Mr. Evan Evans said that certain damage was done to a window of one of the schools' in the town by a pupil after school hours. He would like to know whether a headmaster had any right to punish a boy after school hours. The Clerk: I think so. Mr. Evan Evans: Should the matter not come before this Committee? The Clerk: They have power to punish them, because I remember reading a case on that point. Mr Vivian: If we are going to interfere with the schoolmasters we shall have plenty of work in a short time. TEACHERS' ABSENCE. I Mr. Joseph Roberts called attention to the absence of six teachers from Market Street School during the month. On one day (June 24th) two teachers were. absent. Mr. D. Jas. Davies: Did they go with the Royal Choir? Air. Roberts: No, they did not. The Chairman: If they had, Mr. Roberts would not call attention to it (laughter). Mr. Roberts: I would not have called atten- tion to it, but for the fact that two we're ab- sent on the same day. Mr. Vivian, at a later stage, pointed out that, the reason for their absence was given in the returns. BURSAR SCHEME. The Clerk read the official letter from Mr. Nicholas with regard to the Bursar Scheme. Mr. 1). James Davies said they decided at the last meeting to ask the County Committee whether they were going to charge the fees for educating the teachers in the second year in the secondary school. The Clerk said that Mr. Lewis had an in- terview with Mr. Nicholas, and enquired of him whether the County Council would pay the fees of those pupil teachers during the second year, and lie was agreeable to that course being adopted. In reply to Mr. Joseph Roberts, the Clerk said that the County Authority would not sanction the appointment of the five pupils appointed by the Committee who could not be re-commended as bursars. They could, how- ever, withdraw them at any time. The, Chairman said they had better leave the matter open until they received something definite from the County Committee. WELSH PAGEANT. A letter was read from the Teachers' Asso- ciation with reference to the Cardiff Pageant. It was decided at a meeting of the Association that arrangements be made for the visit of 380 children, who had signified, their desire to witness the pageant at Cardiff on July 21st. In order to ensure the safety of the children, they were of opinion that they should be ac- companied by a number of teachers—one for every ten children—so that forty teachers would be absent from the schools on that day. The teachers at the schools, other than those who were in charge of the scholars, would like to accompany them. ilft-* Phillips said it would be better for the whole schools to have a holiday. Mr. Joseph Roberts moved that a general holiday be granted, which Mrs. Phillips se- conded. Mr. Vivian proposed an amendment that a half holiday on Tuesday be given and the whole of Wednesday. The amendment, was carried- MENTALLY DEFECTIVE CHILDREN. The Clerk said that with regard to the men- tally defective children, he had made en- quiries from various institutions with regard to their training. They had one lad in their schools who should lie sent to an institution as early as possible. He seemed to be rather dangerous at home. He (the Clerk) had re- ceived a reply from one institutions, whose charge was £24 per annum, and for a child over 16 years of age the charge would be raised topics. v The doctors report stated that the lad was very dangerous and exhibited uncommon pro- pensities. He also threatened his mother with a knife, and threw half a brick at his father. He was, nevertheless, very affec- tionate. Mr. D. James Davies: Rather a peculiar way of showing his affection by throwing a brick at his father. It was decided that the lad be sent io the institution. TEMPERANCE CHORAL FNION. An application was made by the Temper- ance Choral Union for the use of Market St. Sehoolroorn on Saturday, Sept. 4th, for the public tea and luncheon. The application was acceded to. HEALTHY RECREATION. The Clerk said the head teacher of the New Dock School desired the Committee to pro- vide a recreation ground for the children to j play tennis. They were at present playing (he game on an asphalt floor in the yard. Mrs. Phillips said they should encourage such a healthy recreation. They would not provide open spaces or anything for them. The Chairman said that if they granted the applieatÙmlhey would he creating a prece- dent. The application was refused. I ANNUAL VACATION. l M'r. D..Tames Davies proposed that the an- "I' nual vacation be. fixed from the 30th July to the 30th August. Mr. Joseph Roberts seconded. Mrs. Phillips proposed, as an. amendment, i that, they re-assemble on the Tuesday follow- ing. The nropos.Uk'ii wag Ciuriedj.

PUBLIC RECREATION. -0- COUNCIL AND THE BOWLING GREEN I AND SKATING RINK. At the monthly meeting of the Urban Coun- cil on Monday evening, Mr. E. T. Jones pre- siding, Air. W. Bramwell Jones, referring to the minutes of the Estates Committee, said that with regard to the bowling-green the Committee deferred the matter because the members who promoted it were not present. With regard to converting the Market Hall into a skating-rink the Surveyor reported that the weekly expenses of maintaining the rink would be £ 9, and they did not feel disposed to accept it. Mr Simlett asked whether a new floor would be required for the Market Hall, in order to make it suitable for a skating rink. The Surveyor: Yes. If you want a maple floor it would cost you about P.430, and it would also require a great deal of care. Mr. Simlett: How do you account for the E9 per week for keeping it ? The Surveyor: I submitted my report, and I estimate to the Committee. Mr. D. James Davies: Does it not include the purchasing of skates ? Mr. W. Bramwell Jones': I do not think so. So far as I can remember, I think you will require a man there in constant attendance. Mr. Simlett: I should like to draw that Q9 per week (laughter). Mr. W Bramwell Jones: If you will be an applicant, I will promise to vote for you (re- newed laughter). Mr D. James Davies moved that the matter be referred back. He did not think they could take it that L9 per week would be any- thing near the cost of maintaining the skating rink, once the floor had been. laid. The idea that possessed the Committee was that the cost included the purchasing of skates. The letting of the Hall for about three nights a week-would cover the cost of gas and remov- ing the benches. There was no furniture or anything of that kind for them to break. Mr. W. Bramwell Jones: I can quite under stand Mr. Davies stating that there is nothing for them to break. There will not be until the skaters get on the floor (laughter). With regard to the Committee passing a resolution to reject it, Mr. Davies was not present, and he is assuming a good deal. Mr. Nathan GriffitJw rose to a point of order. Mr. Bramwell Jones: If I am out of order, Mr. Griffiths, I am only following a custom which you very often do (laughter). The ques- tion of purchasing the skates was a, matter outside the £ 9, and it was not a thing that weighed with the Committee. Mr. Nathan Griffiths seconded Mr. D. Jas. Davies. Thei question of the skating-rink was first of all mooted by the Trades and Labour Council, at whose instigation the proposal was sent to the Council. With regard to the bowling-green, he was a supporter of the pro- ject at the commencement. He was still a supporter of it, although it had been men- tioned by some members that its supporters had thrown it aside in order to support the skating-rink. That was wrong so far as he was personally concerned. With regard to the skating-rink, the Surveyor had submitted an estimate which had frightened some of the members of the Estates Committee, and he could not understand how he made it out. The P-9 per week would be spent on a scheme which would give pleasure, enjoyment, and exercise to many people in the town. In Lon- don and Swansea they were constructing skat- ing-rinks simply for private profit. They were not doing it so much for profit, but for the enjoyment of the people of the town. He wondered whether that committee of five members would be as much against letting that floor to the Territorials as they were against a skating-rink (laughter). The matter had been fully debated by the Trades Council, and the Surveyor, instead of giving them an estimate of R9 by rule of thumb, should give them details as to the cost of working it. The Chairman: Would it be practicable to move these tables on a maple floor? The Surveyor: It. would simply spoil the floor. Mr. Walter Thomas said he did not think the Committee were influenced altogether by the cost of k9 per week, but when the Sur- veyor told them that the floor would cost e350 or P.430 they thought the cost was so great that they could not entertain it. Mr. David: I take it from what Mr. Thomas says that the Committee never expected any return from this scheme of converting the hall into a skating rink. I saw a return a week or two ago which showed that in other towns, where they have skating rinks, they derive enormous profits, and we shall have returned to us the whole cost of re-laying the floor by this time twelve-months. I have come to that conclusion from what I have heard of rinks in other places. If such was the easel, and there was a possibility of their getting back the exact cost, he thought it was their duty to provide that very innocent re- creation for the people of the town. What they could do without burdening the rate- payers, he thought it their duty to do (hear, heaT). He was strongly in favour of provid- ing a bowling-green, and still hoped to con- vert the Captain of the Territorials in thia town (laughter). He supported the motion, that the matter of providing a skating-rink be'referred back. The Chairman said a London syndicate were already making enquiries as to the construc- tion of a skating-rink in the town of Llanelly. He thought they would have asked the Coun- cil to put a building at their disposal, for which they would pay an annual rent. 1 Mr. Guest: Mr. Griffiths just now said that he still supported the bowling-green. If he remem bered rightly, the request from the body referred to distinctly asked the Council to drop the bowling-green. I Mr. Nathan GriBiths: No. no Mr. D. James Davies: Yes (laughter). Mr. Nathan Griffiths: It is a mistake then, ¡ Mr. Guest: Mr. GTifhths has not properly instructed the secretary, I suppose (renewed, I laughter). I Mr. Nathan Griffiths: Personally, I 11 link there is a mistake. Mr. Guest: Then. Mr. Davies is strnng1y in I favour of one, and does the diplomatic wort:, and he advocates the howUng-grecn in order to get the skating-rink. I don't care a InJUon which we get. I Mr Nathan Griffiths: No; you have got one at the Thomas Arms. Mr. Guest: I very much doubt whether the Local Government Board would -allow us to .1 spend q350 on a speculation like this. I sup- port the motion to refer it back, because the more you refer it back the long&r you will be without it (laughter). M'r. Nathan Griffiths: It might he a test] case at the next election. | It was ultimately decided to refer the mat- ter for the re consideration of the Committee,

'Much Ado About Nothing' U COUNCILLOR. AND A MISSING CHEQUE. I At a meeting of the Urban District Council I on Monday evening, Mr. E. T. Jones presid- ing, Mr. D. R. Jones, referring to the minutes I of the Finance Committee, asked why a cer- tain item had been omitted from the minutes. There was an item (No. 91) for the Clerk's ex- penses attending a conference, and Mr Bram- well Jones for the same thing (No. 90). He would like to know why item No. 92 was omitted. The Clerk replied that he was not sure why the error had been made. Mr. Jones asked, if it was legal to pay ex- penses for attending conferences, why was it not legal to pay members for attending a housing conference ? He understood that members of the Council had attended the housing congress, and had to pay their own expenses. What was the difference between the two? The Clerk said that if the congress was held for the benefit of the Urban Council it was perfectly competent, to pay the member's ex- penses. Mr. Simlett observed that certain members of the Council had visited Swansea, in con- nection with the Housing Congress, and they had not, been paid their expenses. The Clerk: I understand from Mr. Phillips that that omission is a printer's error. There is no mysterious cheque there at all. The Chairman said he attended one of the conferences, and lie had not sent in his bill, and he did not intend doing so either. Mr. Nathan Griffiths said there were estab- lished charges between the conference and Parliamentary expenses. The Chairman, in reply to a further ques- tion from Mr. Griffiths, said that all the bills that had been sent in had been paid, particu- lars of which had been recorded in the minutes'. Mr. Nathan Griffiths: It is very mysterious. The Chairman: There is nothing mysterious about it. There is one item missing alto- gether. Can't you accept the statement of the chairman of this Committee? Mr. Joseph Roberts: Mr. Griffiths thinks that the expenses are in respect of attending a conference in London. l'his conference was held at Llandrindod. Mr Nathan Griffiths said he was aware that it was the Llandrindod Conference, but why should the item be left out altogether from the minutes ? He could understand a prin- ter's error, but why should he leave an item out altogether? Mr. D Jas. Davies observed that they could have an explanation for it. He did not like to hear a member of the Council state that it was "mysterious" with regard to the minutes. It was very unfortunate that it had been done because it cast a very bad impression outside. Every business man knew that the cheques were marked consecutively, and it was no- thing unusual to have a cancelled cheque. The auditor examined the; whole of the ac- counts, and he did not see why there should be anything mysterious about it. Mr. Nathan Griffiths said it was very un- usual, and they desired an explanation. Mr. Bramwell Jones: We. want an explana- tion to many things., and every time we want them we get them. The Clerk then sent for the cheque-books, and Mr. Griffiths said: "In the meantime I should like to know what are the established charges of Mr. W. Bramwell Jones?" (laugh- ter). Mr. Bramwell Jones (jocularly): ] have not changed any cheque yet (renewed laughter). The Chairman: Mr. Bramwell Jones atten- ded at Llandrindod. Mr E. Willis Jones said that a report of the expenses appeared in a local paper, and he was credited with having received P,5 in re- spect of Parliamentary expenses. He should be very glad to receive it, but he wished the reporters to make it very clear who the mem- bers were that were credited with these amounts, so that they should not expect to re- ceive amounts that did not come to them. A member: It is a disappointment. The Chairman: That is a printer's error again. Mr. Nathan Griffiths said that to be per- fectly clear, so that they might prevent mis- takes, he would read the amounts. They had Mr. Spowart's expenses for attending confer- ence, £ 3 14s.: Mr. W. Bramwell Jones, estab- lished charges, k2 7s. 6d.; Dr. S. J. Roderick, fees and expenses, £ 28 8s; Mr W. Isaac Wil- liams, Parliamentary expenses, P,18 195.; Mr. David Harry, ditto, kl8 19s.; Mr. Dd, Lewis, £ 18 19s.; Mr. Lewis Havard, P,10 Os. 6d.; Mr. David Davies, £ 10 Os. 6d.; and Mr. W. Cash, k92 18s 4d. He mentioned that to prevent Mr Willis Jones being tin necessarily blamed. Mr. Willis Jones: I thank you very much. Mr. BrannveJl Jones: All these amounts are in the minutes. Mr. Walter Thomas asked whether it was in order to present the minutes to the reporters. Mr. Griffiths generally gave the amounts in the meeting, and it appeared in the Press as if lie gave them the! minutes. He thought the minutes were generally given, to the re- porters, and lie would like to know if the minutes could, b-e presented to them. Mr. D. R. Jones said that by so doing they would save a lot of worry to some people to carry reports to the newspapers (hear, hear). He understood that it was being done by members of the Council. Why could they not do so openly, and present the minutes to the reporters at the meeting? Mr. Nathan Griffiths: I do not understand why we cannot do the same as the Harbour Trust. They put a copy every month in the Library, and why cannot we do the same? The Chairman: It is far better that the mÎll utes should be handed to the reporters at. the meeting. The Clerk said that with regard to the mys- terious No. 92 cheque, he now understood, that cheque 92 was originally intended for Mr T. P. Jones for Y,68 5s. 8d., and it was then in- tended to have the cheque made out in favour of M'r. W. Griffiths for £2 4s. 6d., but Mr. A. T. Thomas altered the cheque to and did not draw the cheque for Mr Griffiths. It was therefore destroyed. Mr. Nathan Griffiths expressed his satisfac- I tion with the explanation. M.r. D. R, Jones moved that the ntÎwltes he handed at every monthly meeting to the re- porterp. Mr. D. James Davies said it was necessary that, the reporters should have the minutes before them. They could ihen understand the discussion. When the members were re- ferring to No, 1 and so on, they did not know what they were talking about. The proposition was.- carried, and the minutes were then handed, to the Press. I I
