COLLIER ARTIST. I COLLIER ARTIST. i M.F.G.B. Purchase Ystaly- fera Man's' Painting. It is interesting to know that the oil paintings that won the first prize in the art section of the National Eisteddfod, held at Neath, 1918, entitled Toilers Underground," by Mr. Vincent Evans, of- Glenhall, Swanneld, Ystalyfera, has been purchased by the Miners' Federation of Great Britain, and is to be installed at their head offices, in London. This pleasant news was conveyed to the collier-artist by that well-known miners' agent, Mr. John James, T.P, anthracite mines' district, who has taken keen in- terest in the progress and successes of thig niarvcllous collier-artist, and Mr. James, is naturally proud that the Miners' Executive have resolved to show their ap- preciation of tie skill and great ability | of Mr. Evaas, who is a working co llier, ) and who has introduced a new subject! into the realms of painting. Most of the paintings of Mr. Evans de- i pict scenes in the life of miners, and the' skill and ability with which he portrays;* the lives of miners on canvas, have won for Pm the unstinted praises of art critics far and near, and all those who know of the immense difficulties he has battled with while struggling to perfect his art, whilst toiling underground as 2L.. collier, are delighted with his successes. and no one is more pleased than Mr. John James, who claims to have U found in. Mr. Evans a new artist, who has intro- duced a new branch-that of coal mining —into the realms of painting.
DEfWOCRAY AND EDUCATION.-
DEfWOCRAY AND EDUCATION.- Interesting Lecture at Swansea. 1 Democracy and Education was the title of a lecture, delivered at the Higher Grade Schools, Swansea, on Thursday even'ng, by Ptof. H J. W. Hetheringtoii (University College of South Wales and Monmoutnshire), under the auspices of the Workers' Educational Afsofciafr.rm. I here was a good attendance, and it 'in- cluded many students. Councillor W. J. Davie* presided, and he mentioned with pleasure the presence f of the Profeesor. He referred to the pro- r gress of the W.E.A. locally, and tzii-d that he real;ised in 1917-18, when he first i became identified with the movement, that a long-felt want had lieen filled. > The local branch had been formed, and he lookod forward to the time when the Techn'cal College would attain university j status, for Swansea to become a of the Association's work. There was ) no need, he concluded, to emphasise the | necessity for education among the work j ing classes, and Prof. Hetheringtou c-flfli*- explain that need better than he. I TACKLE THE PROBLEM. Professor Hetherington commenced by making a special a.ppeal to all sections to tackle, the educational question. He defined democracy, to put it generally, n? that form of ?oci?tv in which the power to order arra ngemens rested wi'h thoee whom the arrangements primarily concerned. He pointed out that one of the faults to-day was that people who did not possess power were ae a rule not interested in usiip it- this, by way of- illustrating, presumably, the incubus upon democracy represented by human, apathy. Where they had freedom or-' ganising itself into rela,tiorshiyis, ttiet-ok fhey found the real ciemoc-,iley-whlch had to be won, and was not easrlly oh-" tained. They hid secured in almost" every industry the power to Ict.the will of the majority* prevail; biii it was not merely the absence of external compul- s?on t ,it -wa, a?sirabte, but the pre- sence of genuine activity and complete freedom 'from within. This was why education was important for democracy. He dwdt upon the spiritual aspects of the development of democracy and human frainieos that made for lack of interest. There were many meanf; whereby a man could become as one with his work, but the best avenue f-l all to this ideal was education They ■•ould obtain the be,t in art by it. They could hardly get f —and he thought this wa.s perfectly --Tery far in religion or reality without some sort of education. It was nothing but the liberation of the human plrlt:, the process of its subject to the per* formancse of the something that was b:g in the world. Questions were afterwards allowed, and ■the lectuie terminated with the u:ml"Y votes of thanks.

Revelt) submitted correspondence which had passed between himself and the National Union, of Clerks in reference to the re- vision of the scales of salaries of the clerks employed by the Council, and it was resolved, that' the' matter be deferred. Plans wer-e submitted aaid passed for the conversion of the old lieu bour Offices I into a dwcilhrg-housp- for the Wern lin- plate Go., and for the erection of a stores for Mr. John Lewis, Alesaudra- road. I STRAYING POULTRY. A report was made to the Counoil that fowls and ducks had boon straying on the Council allotments with the re- sult thnt the produce of tenants had been damaged. It was d.e,cided that the owners be written to on the matter. The Surveyor submitted, a oommuni- tilm from the Workers' Union with re- ference to the wages of the Council's em- ployed, and it was decided that the sec- retary be a-sked to supply the Council with a complete eo"~ of the lattst award. The question of a mortuary for the town was again brought up. and the Surveyor was instructed to prepare plans for the same, which would be built at the cen1<8tery. It resolved, on the motion of Councillor Roberts, that the footpath in front of the I.L.P. room premises on I i Neath-rxjad to be paved. DAMAGE TO WOODS NEAR LADIES'I WALK. The Clerk submitted a letter from the Jersey Estate Office culling the attention of the Council to the wanton damage done id the woods adjoining the Ladies' Walk, and requesting the ajd of the Council in preventing a recurrence of same. The members of the Council ex- pressed regret that persons who were allowed the free use of the woods should do what had been don", and it was de- cided-to circularise the district on the matter, and to ask the permission of the Jer«?y Estate that their letter be embodied in the leaflet.

Malarial attacks have occurred on de- mobilised soldiers who have -served in the Fast, ahcl one of the deaths in August was due to one of these attacks. These malarial attacks, however, are not very serious, and will gradually diminish in severity after longer residence in this ( country. The doctor also called attention to the gratifying increase in the birth- rate of the town. Dr. Harrv wished to th;i;ik the Council and officials^for their expression of sympathy during his illness., and stated he was very much better, and ho;?d to resume his duties very soon. The Water Engineer (Mr. H. A. Clarke1 reported on the town's water supply, stat- ing that Britonferrv can feel satisfied with her position as regards some. For two months there was only 1J inches rainfall, yet the town was well supplied, and there was no shortage, and the reservoir had nov; a depth of over "6 feet. The engineer rewrted that febvs had bees caught by the caretaker at the reservoir trespassing, and having broken the gate. It was re- markable, reported the engineer, that twelve mouths arro, with just two days difference in the date, tto of the same boys were previously caught tampering with the vnlves of the filter beds.—Tt was derided that the boys bo requested to at- tend at the Council meeting. INCREASE IN PRICE OF GAS. It WAS resolved, on the recommendation i or the g-as manager, that the price of gas be increased to meet the extra expenditure of sixpence per thousand.

Jones presiding, a letter was read from the local Teachers1 Association applying for an all round increase in the teachers' salaries of £1 per week. The application, it was stated, was made to enable them to meet the continued great cost of living, which, as given in the, latest Board of Trade Gaz-ette, was 116 per cent, over pre-war oofit The application, if granted, would • place them in 'a similar position to the teachers at Barry, Rhondda, Abertillery, and Pontypridd. Councillor W. Davies: They have die- carded the Swansea scale, which tbo.v i recently asked for; they want the Barry and Rhondda scale now. The Deputy Mayor (Ald. H. D.

FUTURE OF STEBONHEATH. An important t>{heme h' nnd^r con* sideration whereby it- is possible that the new Stebonheath School will be converted into a central school, while the Higher Elementary School will be converted into a technical school. Councillor E. Willis Jones explained that several conferences had been held with the County Education Sul)-Com- mittee. The two questions, he said, that would he considered at the next confer- ence was whether a central school should be created and housed at Stebonheath for children of the town and beyond the three mile limit. If this was done they would lie called upon to provide very much larger accommodation, wfaich would mean taking in the three departments. THE HIGHER ELEMENTARY. The other question which it was felt hanged with the central school was the conversion of the Higher Elementary School into a technical school. So far an excellent spirit had been shown on both sides. The further consideration of the. matter was taken in private.
