The beauties of this England of ours are often being mentioned by various writers , but here is an opinion expressed by one which is well worth reading : " I have no faith in those who rave about the Rhine be- fore they know the Thames , the Italian Lakes before they know the English Lakes , or the Austrian Tyrol before they have feasted on the witchory of the Yorkshire Dales or Salisbury Plain ( says a writer in EMPIRE DAY . - The celebration of Empire " T.

KNIGHT CREATES A SCENE . CHAIRMAN'S DECISIVE RULING . The monthly meeting of this Council was held at the Council Chambers ou Monday morning , when a very important matter in reference to the Ross Secondary School was discussed . Col. O. R. Middleton ( Chairman ) , presided , with Mr. W. R. Lewis in the vice- chair . Others present were Mr. T. Wat- kins . Mr. E. Morgan , Mr. F. Cooper , Mr. T. Matthews , Mr. W. Butcher , Mr. J. F. Davies , Mr. A. J. Knight , with Mr. Ernest R. Davies ( Clerk ) . Mr. F. Ricketts ( Sanitary Inspector ) , and Mr. A. H. Pearson ( Sur veyor ) . The absence of Mr. J. Brawn was apologised for . FINANCE REPORT . Chairman of the Mr. DAVIES , the Finance Committee , said they had been through the various accounts , and they re- commended for payment bills to the extent of £ 246 14s . 10d . They had in the treasur- er's hands £ 512 7s . 2d .. so that when the hills had been naid there would be a credit balance of £ 265 12s . 4d . He proposed the adoption of the accounts . Mr. LEWIS seconded , and it was carried . BOARD OF EDUCATION AND SECONDARY SCHOOL . Mr. DAVIES said the Finance Committee had also taken into consideration the letters from the Board of Education to the Council and the Clerk to the Governors , and also the report of H.M. Inspectors . The first let- ter merely stated that a copy of the Inspec- tors ' report had been sent to the Governors . to the Local Education Authority , and to the Head Master . The letter to Mr. J. F. Arnold stated : " In forwarding the report , the Board desire to call the special attention of the Governors to :-( 1 ) , the late age on admission and the shortness of school life : ( 2 ) , the regulations concerning the award of free places ; ( 3 ) , the question of the place of Foreign languages in the curriculum ; ( 4 ) . the lack of local appreciation of the good work that is being done in the school . and the apparent want of local interest in the successful development of the school . " Then the committee wished to draw the special at tention of the Council to the last paragraph contained in the Inspectors ' report , which reads thus : " It now rests with the District Coun- cil that maintains the School , and with the town of Ross as a whole to give the school all the encouragement and help that it already so clearly deserves . It was recognised with much surprise and regret that local support is being given to the school in such a grudging and half - hearted way , and its future pos- sibilities are so poorly appreciated . " Contiming , Mr. DAVIES said the Finance Committee , after discussing those letters and report , recommended and passed this re solution : -- Your committee take grave excep tion to the last paragraph in the letter to the Governors and the Inspectors ' re- port , and further considers that a ser ions error of indgement has been com mitted by the person or persons who in spired such a paragraph in a report of so public a nature . Your committed further recommend that a copy of this be sent to the Board of Education and the Head Master of the School . " In moving the adoption of that report . Mr. DAVIES said the Council had always appre ciated the work done by the school , but at the same time they held a perfect right to criticise the expenditure , and to see as far as they could indge that no money was wasted . They had certainly not taken up any hostile position towards the school , but he did maintain that as representatives of the ratepayers they had a right to draw at- tention to the exnenditure . Mr. MATTHEWS seconded , and said that he agreed with what Mr. Davies had said . The CHAIRMAN said they all knew where the friction lies . It was relative to the rateable value which they considered ought to be charged outside the Urban area . At present the matter stood very much in this way . The Urban Council undertook to maintain the school . After the school was opened , it was found that it was heing very much patronised by those people living out side the Urban area , and it was then thought that those people should he asked to contri- bute something towards the maintenance of the school . It now appeared that under the Education Act , the Board of Education might , if they considered it advisable or de sirable to rate this outside area , or that area which was benefitted by the school . That under the Act of Parliament they had a per fect right to do . Another question that ha arisen was the legality of the agreemen made between the Urban Council and the County Education Authority . He under stood it was illegal . but that point had no yet been settled . What the Governors of the school had dene was to formulate a smal committee , and they had gone thoroughly into this matter . They had suggested to the County Education Committee that all parishes within a three miles radius of the school should he rated at one half - penny in the pound , and that all parishes over three and within six miles radius should he rated at one farthing in the £ . That would bring in about £ 84 for the year . The rest of the expenses would be borne by the Urban Coun cil . The expenses of the school heyond the grant were £ 260 . and if the rural area con- tributed £ 80 , the Urban would then have to pay £ 160 ( Mr. Matthews : Which is as much again ) . That point was now before the Education Committee , hut whether tha would be adopted remains to be seen . The members of the Rural District Council wer very much against it . They could not . o course , expect men to vote for anything tha was going to tax themselves . He had ap pealed to the District Council , but he fel that his appeal was more to the grandfather instead of the parents of the childre ( laughter ) . That was the difficulty of th present situation , and that no doubt ha been the friction which inspired the Inspe tors of the School to make that note at th end of their report . The remark was no gnite as it ought to be . He would therefor ask if the resolution recommended by th Finance Committee was the opinion of th whole Board , and whether any other membe had anything to say upon it . com Mr. MATTHEWS said they were stantly hearing complaints about the rate increasing , and he did not see why the Urba ratepayers should pay for the education the children outside . He endorsed ever word the Chairman had said , for at preser it was really a hardship on the Uihan rat payers , and something should be done prevent the Ross people paying for the ou side district , or do something in the shap of raising the fees . Mr. COOPER also agreed , and said th the proposition to rate those parishes ov three and within a six miles radius at o farthing in the pound was a very reasonal suggestion , and he thought the rural peo ought to fall in with the idea . Mr. LEWIS said mention had heen ma about raising the fees , but it had be found that they could not do that . Mr. DAVIES said that the figure given the report as to sums contributed towar the School up to March 31st , 1913 , we From the grant , £ 166 13s . 4d . , from County Council , £ 181 , and from the R Urban parish £ 284 . |
