TESTIMONIALS OF TEACHERS. Mr Manaton said that three applications had been received from teachers, now at college, for positions under the local authority, but the -queBtion had been deferred till the next meeting of the committee appointed to deal with the applications. Inasmuch as these applicants had p been appointed pupil teachers under the old School !Board, what opportunity, Mr Manaton enquired, 'would these teachers have of supplying testi- '.monials to the Committee? The Chairman They would obtain testimonials from the colleges they were at present attending. UNCERTIFICATED TEACHERS. Mr Manaton moved that £ 2 10s a year be paid, in addition to their ordinary salaries, to those -teachers who succeeded in passing the King's Scholarship Examination in the first or second divisions. Mr D. Lloyd seconded, but the motion was lost by four votes to two. THE COUNCIL'S RESPONSIBILITY. A motion by Miss Meredith, that teachers be informed that the Council will not be responsible for any accidents which may occur to children, as the result of being driven in brakes or train for country excursions, met with no seconder. Mr Meggitt remarked that such eases were so rare that it was not worth while taking any action in the matter. PAINTING OF SCHOOLS. In reply to Mr S. R. Jones, it was stated that dE300 had been allowed in the estimate for the painting of the schools this year. THE NEW SCHOOL AT BARRY. Mr G. A. Birkenhead, the architect to the committee, informed the members that the new Romilly-road Boys' School would probably be completed by the end of the year. THE APPOINTMENT OF CARPENTER.

SIR,-In reply to your letter of the 2nd instant, I am directed to state that the Board of Education have received a communication (dated 11th April) from the Managers of St. Helen's School, which stated that, At a meeting of the Managers of the above school, held last night at 7.30, I was instructed to inform your Board that negotiations between Bishop Hedley and Mr Lloyd George have come to an end, and all attempts to form a com- promise have failed." In any eyent the Board of Education do not think that there should be further delay in taking the necessary steps to arrive at a decision regard- ing the matters in dispute between the Managers and the local Education Authority. It further does not appear to the Board that to proceed with the preliminary steps with a view to the intended inquiry can in any way interfere with any negotia- tions which the parties may be taking towards an amicable settlement of the dispute. I am further to point out that some time must elapse before the day for the inquiry can be fixed. Should the case have been otherwise settled the Board would, of course, not proceed with the inquiry. The Board would, therefore, be glad to receive a reply respecting a suitable place for the inquiry. I am to enclose in this connection a copy of a letter which has been addressed to the Board by the Managers of the School. I have the honour to be, Sir, Your obedient servant, E. K. CHAMBERS. The Secretary, Barry Urban District Education Committee. Copy of letter received by the Board of Education from the Managers St. Helen's R. C. School, 1, Court-road, Barry, May 2nd, 1905. SIR,—In reply to your letter dated April 27, I am directed by the Managers of the above school to state that after mature consideration they are of opinion that the Barry Court House is a suitable place wherein to hold the inquiry. This opinion was confirmed at a special meeting of the Managers, held this afternoon, at 4.30. I am further to inform your Board that the salaries not having been paid there is much unrest among the teachers, and the whole school is suffering therefrom, The Managers have moreover secured the services of a barrister.-I am Sir, on behalf of the Managers, your obedient servant, Jambs BYRNE. The Chairman The only business is to find a place for the inquiry. Mr Morgan Will the cost come out of the rates, or will the Board of Education pay ? (Laughter.) Can we have your chapel, Mr Chairman ? Mr Manaton I thought of asking the Chairman if a chapel was available. The Chairman I think you can have our chapel if it will be of any service. Mr Morgan What about Romilly Hall ? The Chairman We will have to pay £2 2s a day for that. Mr Morgan Where will it come from ? The Chairman That remains to be proved. (Laughter.) If what we hear about public enthusiasm in the matter be true, I think the Police Court will be too small. Mr Manaton I move that we endeavour to get the Romilly Hall. Dr O'Donnell (who was also present) It can- not be obtained. Mr Meggitt: I propose that we endeavour to get the Police Court. It is neutral ground, too. Mr Manaton seconded. Mr Jones thought they should secure a place large enough if possible to accommodate a good number of ratepayers, who should be enabled to hear the evidence. Mr Morgan moved that the inquiry be 'held in the central hall of Hannah-street School. Mr Jones: Would that mean closing the school? The Chairman Certainly. It was agreed, however, to defer the matter till the next meeting of the Education Authority. The public business then concluded.
