A suspicious-looking individual entered a barber's shop, and while being shaved casually remarked — "I suppose a good many of your cus- tomers forget to pay ?" "No, sir," the barber replied. "There was a time when I used to give credit, but I never do now. In fact, nobody asks for it any more." "How's that?" "\Ve11, you bee," said the barber, try- ing the edge of his razor on his thumb- nail, "whenever I shaved a gentleman who asked me to mark it up I put a nick in his nose with my razor, andkept tally that way. They very soon didn't want to run up bills." There was a tremor in the customer's voice as he asked, beneath the lather, "Do you object to being paid in advance ?" WHAT HE NEEDED. "Here's a very good book," said the persistent railway bookstall boy; 'How to Win a Woman. "Look here," said the bald-headed pas- senger, "if you've got one on how to lose 'em I'll buy it at your own price." SPORTY. Walker The bride was quite a popular girl, wasn't she ? Watkinson Yes, indeed. The "Even- ing Scarifier" sent its sporting man to report it. He printed a list of rejected lovers half a column long, under the heading "Among Those Who Also Ran." BUT NOT ORNAMENTAL. The nervous young man backed into the nearest chair. The fair girl glared at him. "You're a bird t" she cried sarcastically. "Why—er—what?" he gasped. "You're on my hat!" she fairly screamed.

RECEPTION AT THE TOWN- HALL. The winter session of the Cardiff Cymmro- dorion Society was opened om Friday evening, when Sir Thomas Morel, thmresident of the society, held a reception of Ee members and their friends. The attendance included Dr. Treharne, Dr. Prit-chard, the Rev. Principal Edwards, the Rev. J. Morgan Jones the Hon. T. D. Phillips, Dr. Trdw, Mr Edward Thomas, J.P. ("Cochfarf"), Mr. Lewis Williams (chairman of the Ca.rd'ff School Board). Mr. Austin Jenkins (registrar of the Cardiff University College), Mr. Charles Morgan, fr. D. T. Alexander, Mr. J. J. Neale (president of the Cardiff Naturalists' Society), Mr. Evan Owen, J.P., Dr. Mullin, and Alderman Trounce. A number of musical items having been ren- dered, Sir Thomas Morel said be was proud of the position h occupied as president of the CymDl- rodorion Society, he not being a Welshman. Though not, a Welshman, he was always in sympathy wish. Welsh movements and loved the country of Wales. He considered that that society ought to do a lot of good in giving expression to the national feeling and senti- ments of Wales, and that it could be of great assistance in helping to promote all good movements in a. progre3sive town like Cardiff. If only every member of that society used his personal influence with the members of the Cardiff Corporation it would mean much in inducing the corporation to grant a free site in Cardiff for the university college buildings, and thus push forward materially the educa- tional movement in Wales- Referring to the war, Sir Thomas said that they all regretted that it had been found necessary, but, still, they were proud of the bravery shown by the Welsh lads at the front. On several occasions the Welsh regiments had been mentioned in dispatches, and it would be a compliment only tOo well deserved to the prowess of Wrfeh arms in South Africa. if a, regiment of Welsh Guards were formed in Wales, in the same way as a regiment of Irish Guards had formed in Ireland. Those were matters that should be brought before arid discussed by the society. Principal Edwards followed in a very able speech, and expressed the belief that that evening's function was going to mark a new epoch in the history of their society. In connection with the advancement of Welsh movements he was proud of the Cardiff Free Library, and Wales would never have a better friend than rr. John Ballinger, who was at the head of that institution. Some of them had seen refercnces to the more effective teaching of Welsh his- tory in their university collegee, and he was glad to see "Cochfa-rf" bringing the matter lefore the court of governors at Cardiff recently, and to find. that was such a strong feeling in favour of teaching Welsh his- tory. He understood that the Cardiff School Board would consider at their next Thursday's nesting whether or not they would continue the teaching of Welsh in the elementary schools. He maintained that that was a most important question, and ought to receive-the most patient and anxious consideration of the board. If the teaching of Welsh was going te. be dropped, then the children would suffer a great lo-ss. He (the speaker) thought more t.ime ought to be given to the study of the subject, and this could be done with very little expense. lIe would move the following reso- lution That this meeting of the Cardiff Cymmrodorion, understanding that the teach- ing of the Welsh language in the elementary schools of Cardiff is going to be discussed at the next meeting of the school board, is strongly of opinion that it not only should be continued, bat that measures should be adopted whereby it can be taught more effec- tively, and, therefore, urges the board to secure this highly desirable end." Mr. Austin Jenkins seconded, and in the course of an excellent address upon Welsh educational matters said that the present was not the time to entertain the idea of dropping tile teaching of the Welsh language. Mr. Lewis Williams said that with such ardent Cymmrodorion on the board as Dr. Treharne, the Rev. J. Morgan Jones, and Dr. Prichard there was no danger of any injustice being done to Wales in the matter. The resolution was carried unanimously. Later in the evening Sir Thomas Morel movad the following resolution, which was seconded by Alderman Trounce, supported by Dr. Treharne, and carried: — "That, seeing that her Majesty the Queen has thought fit to commemorate the gallantry of the Irish troops by forming a regiment of Irish Guards, the Cardiff Cymmrodorion Society would view with pleasure that such a compliment be also paid to our Welsh soldiers who have eo gallantly fought and bled for the Empire."

SEE PAGE 2 OF THIS EDITION. The Editor of the "Evening Express" has pleasure in announcing that "Coch- farf" (Councillor E. Thomas, J.P., of Cardiff) contributes to the "Evening Express" a daily column of comments and criticisms on affairs local and general. "Cochfarf" is given a free hand to deal with everything in his own way, and the only matters he will eschew are those relating to party politics. Governments may rise or fall, parties wax or wane, but "Cochfarfs" column will be free from the chatter of party, and readers will be able to turn to it with relief when the rest of the world may be enwrapped in the oonflicts of mere politicians. "Cochfarf" made his entrant bow to the readers of the "Evening Express" on Wednesday last.

MOUSE CODE, WIFE'S MISCONDUCT, BUT PLEADS HUSBAND WAS CRUEL. In the Divorce Court on Friday Alfred Edward Morse, at one time driver of the Bath Clevedon coach, asked for a divorce on the ground of his wife's adultery with the co-respondent, John Alabaster, who was stated to be connected with Messrs. Batey and Co., the mineral water manu- facterers. The misconduct was admitted but Mrs. Morse brought charges of cruelty against her husband. Married at St. Emmanuel's Church, Maida-vale, on February, 19, 1898, Mr. and Mrs. Morse lived happily together— with occasional quarrels—till August of last year, when the petitioner was driving the Bath coach. He said he returned from one of his neys to find a note from his wife saying she had left "all my love" and the money pe- titioner had given her to take care of. He found she was living at the Bath Club, Piccadilly, with the co-respondent. RIDING IN THE PARK. The respondent said her husband com- menced to knock her about a fortnight after their marriage. She ad mitred having left Bath with the co-respondent, and said she had been living with him ever since. Had he given you riding lessons?—Yes. And taken you in the Park?—Oh. yes. Witness stated that her husband threw boxes at her, and gave her a !»!nc-k fye.

AX rXXiXOWS LAND. ¡ I was onc-o talking with an old Whitechapel labourer who had spent the whole of his life in the neighbourhood of Mile-end Waste (says a writer in the Christmas number of the "Wind- sor Magazine"). I chanced to mention Picca- dilly-circus, and, noticing the blank look on writer in the Christmas number of the "Wind- sor Magazine"). I rhanced to mention Picca- dilly-circus, and, noticing the blank look on his face, remarked, "Surely, you know Picca- dilly-circus? let me see," said he, slowly, "I think I've heard of it." "It is not far from Hyde Parh. You must have been there." "Oh, yes, sir! he cried, his face suddenly brightening. "I've been to Hyde Park. I went there the year of the Great Exhi- bition as a shoeblack!

FROM CHILDREN S SAYINGS. Reefer jackets used some years ago to bo called pilot jackets. A little giri who had one whan going out for a walk one day asked, "Shall I put on my Crucifixion jacket? "What do you mean? said mother. "Why. my Oucitixion jacket! "Oh! I suppose you mean your pilot jacket!" pilot [Pilat-eJ! I knew 'it had some- thing to do with the Crucifixion."

Spider and the Fly: THE: MONEY-LENDING ACT. Somerset House was swamped yesterday (says the "Daily Express") by piles of registra- tion forms from money-lenders hurrying to get their names recorded before the end oi November. Something approaching a thousand applica- tions were received during the day, which was the last day of grace under the provisions of the new Money Lending Act. Some of the money-lenders misapprehended the object of the column headed "Description," and described themselves as tall, with dark eyes. or short and fair. One. through long habit, wrote "3s. in the and no inquiry offices." A company with a flowery title consisted of a waiter and a printer. SOME SURPRISES. A surprising thing is that none of the names of th-e notorious money-lenders-the blood- suckers of the West End and the rest—appear. II dos not follow that they have given up business and devoted their attention to draft- ing progpect.uZE1! or valuing precious Etones. It i's more likely that Smith will tell you he has quite given up money-lending, but that Mr. Jones, on the next landing, may pos- sibly accommodate you; and that Mr. Smith and Mr. JOIi discuss matters through the speaking-tube while you are walking upstairs. In one respect the Act has fallen lamentably s-hort of its high promise It laid down in the most definite and spc- cific terms ttiat. a money-lender must register himself by on.3 name or trade name only, and trade under 10 other. This proviso was intended to put an end to the picturesque practices of the late Isaac Gordon, win lent money under one name to be paid back to Isaac Gordon under another. Durig month certain money-lenders attempted to register under different names for different places of business. Somerset Home objected. "But," argued man, "yOU make me call the second business by my name. It is not mins exclusively. I am only a partner in it." The point was submitted to the Attorney- General. and he ruled that the money-lender was right. A LEGISLATIVE TRAP. What is to prevent the wily money-lender from taking the office-hoy into partnership at each of his places of business? In that case, the game of Peter and Paul will go on as me"rilY3i3 before. There is, however, a safeguard. The borrower may examine the registration forms to see if the same name appears in both. But that necessitates a visit to Somerset House, and the harassed borrower in Birming- ham or Manchester is not likely to think of that, even if he could spare the time and money.

MEETING NNDiSi IN A FREE; FIGHT. A meeting in Liverpool on Friday night under the auspicey of the South Africa Con- ciliation Committee was characterised by great disorder, a very mixed reception being given to the speakers, who included Mr. Lloyd- George, M.P. The proceedings culminated in a free fight.—A resolution submitted pro- testing against the character of the warfare being waged in South Africa, involving the pillage of villages and suffering inflicted on women and children, and calling on the Government to attempt, by conciliation, to arrive at an amicable settle- ment, was supported by Mr. Lloyd-George, M.P., who denied he had ever traduced the character of the British soldier. The Government had published dispatches condemning certain generals, but had not published a single dispatch about the burning of farm buildings. Practically the whole of the Orange Free State had been devastated, and was a wilderness. We were simply imposing terms on the Boers which no self-respecting people in the world would accept. To say that the Boers brought this on themselves was no justification. We were pioneers of civilisation. Great Britain was engaged in the hopeless task of destroying a nationality, and so making foes for this country.

DE: WET, THE VICTOR bi nE WETS DOR P. It is one of life's greater ironies that Chris- tian De Wet, a Free Stater, who was opposed to President Steyn's policy in joining in the war, should have developed into the most terrible scourge which the British Army in South Africa. has to endure. Cornered a hundred times (by over-sanguine dispatch writers), like the flea, he has ben not there" when the arresting thumb was lifted. And a score of times, when he was supposed to be hundreds of mil-es away, he has struck terrible blows, with adder-like swiftness, at British troops, whose leaders were sunk in a false sense of security. At Lindley, where he captured the Imperial Yeomanry; at Heilbron, where he captured a convoy party of the Highland Brigade; at Rhenoster, where he captured the 4th Bat- talion of the Derbyshire's; at Roodeval, where lie captured 160 men of the Pioneer Corps, this new Flying Dutchman has struck his blow and vanished again. In the days to come, when we look back upon the events of this war, Do Wet wil; stand out as prominently from the ruck of the Boer commandants AS General French or "B.-P." from the undistin- guished crowd on our side. Already rumour and imagination have begun to throw a mist of glamour over the plain figure of this Dutch farmer, and fan- tastic storÏres are in circulation to the effect that he is really not a Boer at all, but is this, that, or the other once notorious man whom circumstances have driven out of Englisi1 society, and who is now out for revenge. There is, of course, not the slightest ground for such wild imaginings.

BISHOP OF EXETER'S RESIG- NATION. The "London Gazette" of Friday night announces that the Queen, having received a representation that the Bishop of Exeter is desirous of resigning his bishopric by reason that he is incapacitated by permanent physi- cal infirmity from the due performance of his duties as bishop, is satisfied of such incapacity, and that ths said bishop has canonically resigned. The bishopric of Exeter is, there- fore, declared vacant.

THE NEW PARLIAMENT. It is officially announced that in the House of Lords the Earl of Lathom will move, and Lord Monkbretton will second, the Address in reply to the Speech from the Throne. MR. BRODEICK'S RE-ELECTION. Mr. Brodrick has issued the following address to the electors of the Guildford Division:- "The high office to which her Majesty has been pleased to appoint me involves my vacat- ing the seat to which you recently elected me. Your confidence has been so generously bestowed in the past that I trust I may hope for its renewal and for your continued sup- port. The arduous nature of the task which has been assigned to me must be my excuse for not coming before you personally to ask for your support." Mr. Brodrick's re-election will not be opposed.

PARLIAMENTARY BILLS. Friday night was the latest time allowed by the standing orders of Parliament for deposit- ing at the Private Bill Office plans, books of reference, and other documents in connection with the private Bills which will come before Parliament next session. The plans deposited as compared with those of lailt year show a falling off of 60. the deposits this year being as follows:—Railways 46, as against 51 last session; tramways 26, as against 31; miscel- laneous, 94, as against 98; general provisional orders 93, as against 130; electric lighting provisional orders 103, as against 112; totals 362, as against 422. ———— I Among the local Bills deposited are: — RAILWAYS.

Sir,-I cannot understand how your cor- respondent can make out the grocer loses 6d. on his transaction with the child over the 2d. worth of tea. I put it this way. The grocer gives a customer 2d. worth of tea and a penny, for which he receives nothing; therefore, he can only be the loser of 3d. I will put another to your readers. A 'bus conductor is tendered 6d. for a penny LITe, and, as he thinks, returns four pennies and two halfpennies (5d.) change. He finds, however, that he really gave the fare four pennies, one halfpenny, and a shilling (Is. 41-d.), and "cussed" awful. But, upon balancing his cash at the end of the journey, he finds the fare must have given him half a sovereign instead of a sixpence. What is the conductor in pocket over the transaction?—I am. & c., P. A. C. Cardiff, November 30.

CHRISTMAS HOLIDAYS. To the Editor of the "Evening Express," Sir,—Many great commercial companies have applied to the Early Closing Association for exact information in respect to the Christmas holidays. In view of the volume of inquiry daily addressed to us from all parts of the kingdom, the following summary, sup- plied by the association to the directors of Messrs. Whiteley (Limited), may be of general interest:—"The wholesale City houses and Mr. Walter Cobb, Sydenham; Messi-s. Debenham and Freebody, Messrs. D. H. Evans and Co. (Limited), Mr. F. Gorringe, Messrs. Harvey, Nichols, and Co. (Limited), Messrs. Lewis and Allenby, Messrs. John Lewis and Co., Messrs. Maple and Co. (Limited), Messrs. Marshall and Snelgrove, Messrs. Oetzmann and Co., Messrs. Shoolbred and Co., and Mr. J. Stewart, Kil- burn, have already informed us that they will close from Saturday afternoon till Thursday morning. Other West End houses have still oar letters under consideration." A number of other well-known Saturday half-holiday houses, such as The Bon Marche (Limited), Brixton; Messrs. Jones and Biggins (Limited), Peckham; Messrs. Lewis and Co., Holborn, and Messrs. Pratt Brothers, Streat- liam; and numerous firms in Balham, Batter- sea, Brixton, Camden and Kentish Towns, Chelsea. Clapham, Clapham Junction, Ealing, East London, Fulharn. Hackney, Hoxton. Kil- bum, Kingsland, Peckham, Pimlico. Shep- herd's Buah, Shoreditch, Stoke Newirigton, Stratford. Streatham, Wandsworth, and Wimbledon will close from Christmas Eve till Friday morning. The latter bids fair to be the popular arrangement, not only in these Metropolitan districts, but in each of the nine hundred and twenty towns of the kingdom where the mid-week half-holiday is observed. At all events, in the boot and shoe trades, both in London and the country, it has received an important accession by the decision of Messrs. Freeman. Hardy, and Willis, who have just wired consent to close the whole of their three hundred and ten branches.—We are. &c., A VEBURY. President. (Signed) A. CAMERON CORBETT, Chairman. J. A. STACEY.

THE CYMMR0B0RI0X SOCIETY. To the Editor of the "Evening Express. Sir,—As one who attended the reception last night, I must confess I was disappointed. Sir Thomas Morel did his part in a thorough and munificent fashion; but even the choice and recherche refreshments failed to remove the "settled melancholy" that hung like a pall over the proceedings. True the room was miserably cold and dTaughty; but even that was not the reason For a function needn't seem like a prayer meeting merely because of a draught. But this Cymmrodorion reception smacked of prayer meeting from end to end. with a result that may be imagined-a prayer meeting, let me add, without the enthusiasm. Of this last there was none. The speeches were simply dis- t,ressing-those that could be heard at all events; and the orations of certain folk, who would burst if they did not spout, did not help matters a bit As I came away, I reflected, "Well, if this be the Cymmrodorion it won't see me again." My dear friends, for Wales' sake cast, off this preacherly, funereal gloom; buck up and be cheerful. An Irish gathering of the kind would have been so different, you know. But then, Irishmen are not dominated by Nonconformist preachers with interminable tongues.—I am, Ac. CYMRO. [

Result of the Election. The result of the Swansea School Board elec- tion was made known by the mayor at the Guild-hall lats on Friday afternoon. The result was much as was expected. There was no great question of principle involved in the election, and the vote was chiefly a personal one, the candidates working individually. The greatest surprise, perhaps, was the leaving out of that old me-nber, Alderman Gwilym Morgan. He was the only old member left out. The clergymen—the Revs. T. Morris, Watkins Ed. wards, and J. Pollock—polled very strongly. Mr. David Harris, who specialised his candida- ture by opposing the demands of the teachers for the higher rate of wages known amongst them as their "Union rate," was elected at the top of the poll. The following is the order of the poll: — ELECTED. .David Harris 14,510 *David Roberts 14,293 Rev. Thos. Morris 11,855 Miss Dillwyn 11,411 .Miss Brock 11.138 *Mrs. Kate Freeman 10,911 .Rev.

CARDIFF GlJN AND RIFLE CLUB. At a meeting of the members of the Cardiff Gun Club, held in the pavilion on the shooting grounds, Llandough, on Wednesday, it was unanimously decided to incorporate with the present giin club a ritle club. It was felt by all the members present that the club wouid be more complete with this addition, giving, as it will when incorporated, all the facilities; to those who desire to become all-round shots both as regards the shot gun and rifle. To further this object the club has arranged for a supply of the latest Lee-Metford rifles, fitted with the Morris tubes for short range practice. A range to meet these requirements is in preparation. The clup has also secured the services of a capable instructor in the person of Mr. T. Smith, late sergeant-major Royal Kiigirjeers, and for over twenty years Army instructor in musketry. Every endeavour is to be made to make the rifle portion of the club as great a success as possible, both as regards long and short range firing. It is felt that such a club in Cardiff and district can be made equal to any other in the country or cut of it. There liave already been offered many valuable prizes to encourage members in the rifle shooting branch of the club. But the shot-gun part of tne club should not be overlooked by illtendirig members. The grounds at Llandough a.re admirably adapted and well laid out at a great cost. The club has already a membership of over 50 members, and it is lioped, by the addition of rifle shoot- ing, that at least 203 additional members will' be enrolled. The annual subscription is log. 6d. This amount entitles a member to everything the club has to offer. Shooting of I every description can be secured at the least possible cost. It is hoped that many will take adv;tntage of become membsrs: of such a club at so small a cost. The subscriptions for 1901 will be due in January next. All intending in-.rnb(-rs should send ift their names to Mr. William Chambers, 110n. secretary. 21, Castle- street. Cardiff, when the same will be duly put before the committee tor election at the next meeting. Further pa''«culars can be obtained by applying to the secretary.

He was the son of Mr. John Vaughan, founder of the firm of Balckow, Vaughan, and Co., and one of the earliest pioneers of the Cleveland iron trade.

Opening of a Cardiff School. The Virgil-street School. Grangetown, Car- diff, were opened on Friday afternoon by Dr. Treharne, a member of the Cardiff School Board. The site on which the school has been built, at an outlay of £ 22,000, is an excellent one, being in close proximity to a thickly- populated part of the town, and enjoys the advantage of being surrounded by fields. The area of the site is an acre and a half, and the freehold has been acquired by the board at an outlay of £ 2,120. In addition to the school accommodation there is a caretaker's house, manual instruction centre, and large play- grounds. The schools are built with the class- rooms grouped around central halls, thus affording constant supervision of the schools by their respective heads. The buildings are of a very substantial character, being built of rubble masonry, faced with dressed "New- bridge" stone and Bathstone dressing. The buildings consist of the infants' school-a one- storey building-containing nine class-rooms, teachers' rooms, stores and assembly hall 67ft. 6in. by 27ft. The school will accommo- date 490 infants. The girls' and boys' school is a two-storey building, having the girls' department on the ground floor, and the boys on the first floor. The arrangement of the two floors is very similar, each contain'ng seven class-rooms and a central hall 73ft. 6in. by 28ft. 3in.; teachers' rooms, and stores. The total accommodation provided in the boys' and girls' department is for 880 children. Two entrances have been provided for each depart- ment. The whole of the rooms are heated by large open fires. A fresh-air flue is conveyed to the back of each fireplace, and is admitted into the rooms after be'ng warmed to a healthy temperature. There are fresh-air inlets in each room and foul air outlets in the centre of each ceiling carried up to ridges of roofs to patent ventilating turrets, thus occa- sioning a constant supply of fresh air. The greater part of the windows are hung to open. The floors throughout are of concrete, with wood block flooring la d on same. The manual instruction school consists of a workshop 55ft. by 33ft. 3in., with windows facing north and south, and with a lantern-light running the whole length of the roof. It is heated by low-pressure hot-water with coils placed upon each side of the room. The architects are Messrs. Robert and Sidney Williams, Borough- chambers, Wliarton-street, Cardiff; the con- tractor Mr. Charles C. Dunn, Cowbridge-road, Cardiff, and the clerk of works Mr. John Gardner. Mr. Lewis Williams (chairman of the school board) presided at the opening proceedings, when there was a large attendance of the public, amongst whom were the Rev. G. A. Jones (vicar of St. Mary's), the Rev. J. Morgan Jones, Mr. A. G. Legard (her Majesty's chief inspector of schools for Wales), Mr. J. Lowdon (chairman of the Barry School Board), Mr. J. A. Jenkins, Mrs. Lewis Williams, Mrs. Lester Jones, Dr. W. T. Edwards, Dr. Garrett Horder, Mr. Herbert Thompson, Mr. J. L Jackson, and Councillor J. Jenkins. Previous to the inaugural ceremony Dr. J. Ll. Treharne was presented by the chairman with a silver key as a souvenir of the ocoas- sion, and the schools having been duly opened an inspection of the well-appointed buildings took place, after which the company assembled in one of the large rooms, where a meeting was held to celebrate the event. The Chairman said this was the nineteenth board school which had been opened in the town during his connection with the board. This new school would be staffed by a body of teachers equal to any in the town, Mr. Nettleton having been appointed headmaster of the boys' department, Mrs. Fergusson head- mistress of the girls, and Miss Camp head- mistress of the infants. Mr. Williams paid a high tribute to the architects and contractors for the efficiency of the work, and, passing on to allude to the comments which had appeared in the "Western Mail" a few days ago, said he was voicing the opinion of at least fifteen members of the Cardiff School Board when he declared it was their intention, in the interests of the education of the children of artisans of the town, to stand by the higher grade school, and continue to give to the boys of Cardiff those rights and opportunities which they had enjoyed hitherto. (Cheers.) And under this head he was very pleased to intimate that an old Cardiff Higher Grade School boy had just succeeded, one of eight out of ninety candidates, in passing the B.Sc. examination. (Cheers.) To him it was not a party or sectarian question, but in the furtherance of the commercial and educational intereets of the town they were determined to continue to support the higher grade school, and in saying this he was convinced he was expressing also the feelings of the work- ing classes and other sections of the community. (Cheers.) Referring to religious education in the schools, Mr. Williams said he was glad to read a report of an address recently delivered by the Bishop of Llandaff, in which his lordship congratulated the people of Cardiff upon the fact that, so far as the law permitted, religious teaching was imparted in the schools of the town. (Cheers.) Dr. W. T. Edwards, in a brief address, expressed satisfaction at the unity of feeling which prevailed amongst the members of the school board. ) Dr. J. LI. Treharne gave some interesting reminiscences of the remarkable development of the town from a populative as well as educational point of view since 1859.. He hoped the curriculum of the Virgil-street School would be characterised by thorough- nesa rather than by pressure, calling forth the ideal capabilities of the child, and enabling liim to realise that wisdom was something higher than knowledge, and that education was not intended so much for life's work as for the proper employment and enjoyment of leisure by the cultivation of a taste for 1 tera- ture and art. Towards the attainment of this ideal the schools and public libraries of the town contributed in no small degree by pro- viding facilities in the direction of sound, healthy literature, which they could not other- wise enjoy. (Cheers.) The English primary schools were happier, nobler, and better than those on the Continent, but a great drawback in this country was the need of day technical schools on the lines of the superior primary schools of France. (Cheers.) Dr. Treharne concluded by expressing his good wishes for the success of the Virgil-street School, which he hoped would, in future, be known not by its identity with any particular street, but rather with the name of a great human character like Virgil, which would stimulate the children taught thereat to still higher aims of life. (Cheers.) Mr. A. G. Legard, the chief inspector of schools for Wales, also addressed the meeting. The new education code, he said inaugurated a silent revolution in connection with primary schools. Forty years ago they had payment by results; children were regarded as mere grant-earners, and inspectors were viewed more in the light of school policemen than as friends of the teachers, but, fortunately, the old times and systems were gradually giving place to the new, and a more comprehensive and real curriculum was superseding the old three R's. (Cheers.) Mr. Legard strongly advocated the physical train ng of the young in school, and regretted that the services of so many i-ecruits had to be rejected in connection with the pre- sent war owing to physical unfitness. Cardiff had one gymnasium in its higher grade school, but there should be greater facilities for gymnastic exercise in the day schools. (Cheers.) On the motion of Mr. Herbert Thompson, seconded by Councillor J. Jenkins, a hearty vote of thanks was accorded to Dr. Treharne, and a like compliment to the chairman, pro- posed by Mr. J. Lowdon (chairman of the Barry School Board), seconded by the Rev. J. Morgan JoneS. concluded the proceedings.

Wishing and working must go together, and, as for the beggars, hey keep on with their wishes only, they must walk, and be thankful if they are not thrashed for laziness and fed on Grantbam gruel, nine grits to the gallon. In olden time lazy people were put in the stocks, and idleness was looked upon as a sin, and it is a si Mr. Spurgeon says of hia boys in Ploughman's Talk," Better up to their eyes in mud and mischief than join the loafing brigade," and we say Amen.
