PRINT WRITING. Mr. John Rowlands Raises Important Point To the Editor. Sir,—Print writing, some maintain, will be the penmanship of the future, being already a., ua tion a1 Question. If the Government is not yet fully convinced in the matter, it may get full knowledge through the N.U.T., which is in touch with its numerous associations—all ex- pert ople-jll town, and village, and hamlet—people who know more tnan they ai,o asked to disclose. Inspectors of schools also, who, must possess a very ripe knowledge of the eub- jecc, together with directors of education and commercial men, should he con- sulted. No grand commission need be an. pointed—the evidence is at once avail- able; but the question is pressing. For st present the whole matter is left: to the happy choice of head teachers, with 0.101 very anomalous result that certain schools, and even departments of 6choolb. persevere with the old, nuethod, while the other is enthusia.stic in practising the new. This is not satisfactory and is tho j causo of considerable unpleasantness amongst parents in many quarters, thera being a national anxiety lt the child might suffer in business through not being able to write the old hand. The advantages of the new system are striking and numerous., Amongst them are greater legibility, neatness, economy of space (and this is a big item), pasiar to teach, easier to learn, more hygienic (the body assuming a natural posture), greater speed, there being no useless flourishes, lines, and combinations; and. lastly, a marked improvement in readins and spelling, it being print—an improve- ment greatly to be desired. For between our elaborate penmanship, orthography, and our formidable arithmetic (our sys- tem of coinage, etc., being ojit-of-datel the average school child docs 'not make those strides in education which is indis- pensable for his equipment in life. It is not the teaching, but rather onr system, that is at fault in our education our fun p amentals need simplifying. If these three subject ritiii, ortho- grophy and arithmetic—could be simpli- fied, years of study might be saved, and in that time other subjects, such as Welsh, nature study, elementary science, painting and music, might receive far greater attention than is at present pos- sible. But what of signatures and initials in print writing?—two most vital considera- tions in banking accounts and legal docu- ments. We are assured that the writer of this now style does net lose his indivi- duality, and that is a happy reflection, > for individuality in writing as in most other things, is the charm of life. But with regard to initials and signatures the country is not yet satisfied that, in print I writing, our individuality is so pronounce I nounced. A simple line, however, is often more subtle in its evidence than are more I elaboratelv drawn lines. But we need ex- act knswledgo in this matter. Perhaps I some of your numerous readers will supply it. At any rate, it is for the Gov- ernment to jpsike the matter up and advise I the nation' of the result, and proceed ac- cordingly. Let us know where we are.— Yours, etc., Yours, etc., J. How!ands, J Waunarlwydd School. j I

THE HOLY CITY How Jerusalem was Captured. How Jerusalem was Won," by W. T. Ma.s&ey, official correspondent of the London newspapers with the Egyptian Kxpeditionary Forces. Constable, London, 215. This book of Mr. Massey's is a sequel to his works on the Desert campaigns, ) and, like its predecessors, is a clear, thoughtful, and withal, highly interesting j. account of General Allenby's campaign in the EaÚ-pne of the most brilliant cam- j paigns in the whole war. The new book I takes up the narrative from the time when General (now Field Marshal Lord) Allen by took over command after the abortive second battle of Gaza, and de- I scribes his preparations; his capture, of Beersheba and Gaza; and his final entry into and securing of Jerusalem. The record is authentic, for Mr. Massey not only describes what he saw himself, or receives at first-hand, but he has drawn j upon voluminous official maps and opera- I tion orders to make his story complete. The work should be of especial interest I to Swansea and West Wales people, for it pays tributes to the magnificent work of such local units as the Swansea Howitzer Brigade, the Glamorgan and Pembroke Yeomanry, tIle Welsh Field Company R.E (Carmarthen and Llanclly), the 4th I Welsh Regiment (Carmarthen, Llanellv and Pembroke), and the 1'3 Welsh Field C Ambulance, R.A.M.C. (Swansea). The j Account of the capture and surrender of i Jerusalem without a shot -or shell falling in the Holy City, is a particularly thril- ling one, and altogether Mr. Massey is I to be congratulated on his achievement.

THE WHITE SCOURGE. I ——— t A meeting of the Pembrokeshire Pub- lie Health Cnimttee was held at Haver- fordwest on Saturday to consider a re- port of the Tuberculoses Sub-committee with reference to the treatment of tuber- colofps in the county. A-. report submitted by the sub-com- mittee elated that the necessary altera- tions to Raarston camp so as to provide for a sanitorium with an hospital block would enfail an expenditure of j630,000. The cost of adapting Hearston Camp they ¡ found to be prohibitive, and they were in- formed that there was little probability of Scovaiton Camp being placed on the marked. In view of the present position they had communicated with the Welsh Memorial Association, who stated they would be prepared to provide a tuber- coloses officer for the county forthwith. They were also prepared to enter into arrangements for a county nursing scheme. The Association .->?<> • -fated that for the services to be rendered, the pro- ceeds of a three-farthing rate would be required, and this in the near future would be increa.sed to Id. The eub-comr^i'tee came to the con- elusion that a county scheme providing similar services for th v.;e of the Associa- tion would cost at least, a rate of 5d. in the < £ and in view of this the, only course dpen was to join the Association 1. either permanently, or. for a certain < 11 urn ber of years. i Col. Roberts intimated that at the next j meeting of tha County Council he should oppose the recommendation. Tt was I ultimately decided to further consider the J report. a.t the next, meeting of the com- mittee in January. I ■

Children's Corner. i BY UNCLE JOHN I We will begin, etraight off, with the I little letters, reading them as we find II them, to-day. Molly Laws, Swansea-road, Waunar- iwydd, near Gowerton, one of ollr war or- ¡ p hans (aged 10), sends joke* and riddles I ior the first timo. The aged couple had au aged cat. In fact, the cat wa,s so aged ami helpless that, | <>y had to administer a little poison, and buried it under a rosebush in the I garden. :-ext morning the old lady heard a familiar scratching at the door, i and waking the old man cried ex- j citedly: John, John, the cat's come j home again." They opened the door and there stood the cat with the rosebush I under its arm. RIDDLES. I Why is a little aoil's tail like the heart j of a tree?—Because it's farthest from the bark. Why is the letter f" like a cow's tail?— Because it is the end of beef. I Why are sugar-plums like racehorses? —Because the more you lick them the faster they go. I What relation is the door-mat to the scraper?—A step-father Where was Sir Francis Drake going I when he was 35 years old?—Into his 36th I year. ¡ What is higher and handsomer when j the head is off?-The pillow. THE FOLLOWING. JBrynmor Roney Owens. 92, Robert-! street, Manselton, Swansea (7 years of i age), sends the following:— I It isn't raining rain to IDe; It's raining daffodils. I In every dimpled drop I see, I Wild flowers on the hills. The clouds of gray engulf the day, I And overwhelm the town. It isn't raining rain to me, ¡ It's raining roses down. I It isn't raining rain to me, j But fields of clover blooni; j Where any buccaneering bee. 1 May find a bed and room. j A health unto the happy, j A fig for him who frets. I It isn't raining rain to me, It's raining violets. | AXD A MIXTURE. Hillside, Alexandra-road, Gorseinpn. j Dear Uncle John,—I read your "Child-i ren's Corner every night, so I thought 'I I would like to try a few riddles and a verse of poetry. If you saw. an egg on a music stool, what great poem would it remind you —The Lay of the Last Minstrel. "What is tho hardest key to turn?—A donkey. What chins are never shaved?— Urchins. Why is a hat like a thump?—Because .¡. it is felt. POETRY. The riddle of riddles—it leaps and it j skips; 'Tis seen in the eyes, and it cheats on the lips. It seldom is found, though, oftentimes read; 'Tis sometimes a feather, and some- times 'tis lead. If it meets with its match it is happily caught; If muney .c;an I buy it—it's not worth a groat. I remain, your nephew, William Chas. Webb (age 13). Lilian Tollick, 13, Pentre Estyll, Swan- sea (aged 13 years), sends me the follow-; in,, i Beneath thf><}e high cathedral stairs, Lie the remains of Susan Pairs.
