Mr. LLEWELLYN said they were always appointed by the Tatepayers in the old School Board days . The CHAIRMAN said their business had always been conducted without denomina- tional bias , and so long as he was Chairman , religious bias would never be allowed . He for some time tried to induce Mr. Blake to come on that Board , but he refused , but getting the number of Managers increased to twelve by the County Council , and Mr. Blake was then made a member .

The monthly meeting of the managers of the Ross Council Schools was held in the Boardroom on Monday afternoon when Mr. F. S. Collins presided , with the Rev. R. T. A. Money - Kyrle in the vice - chair . Others present were Mrs. Evan Thomas , Mrs. Wat- son , Rev. J. W. Kettle , Rev. W. A Powicke , Mr H. Llewellyn , Mr. J. Meredith , Mr. H. T. Blake , Mr. F. W. Wintle , with Mr. G. B. Kemp ( Correspondent ) , and Mr. F. Bol - Wesleyan Minister . ton ( Attendance Officer ) . SCHOOL ATTENDANCE . After the Rev. R. T. A. Money - Kyrle had given the visitors ' report , which dealt with various minor repairs , Mr. BOLTON drew the attention of the Board of the fact that on the opening day after the summer vaca- tion here were no less than 82 absntees from the three departments , and that 27 children had not yet returned . The Rev. MONEY - KYRLE said that pos- sibly the dislocation of the train service at the commencement of the holidays rather upset the arrangements of some of the par- ents , and on that account thy were probably taking their holidays later . Mr. BOLTON said some parents did make that excuse , but there never had been such an absentee list as that before , and he felt it his duty to report it to the Board . Mr. LLEWELLYN thought they broke up a little too soon , as many of he children went with their parents hop - picking . Mr. BOLTON said there were ten children who had gone hop - picking with their parents , but the 27 children referred to did not in clude those who had gone hop - picking . As this was considered a somewhat excep- tional period no definite action was taken on this occasion . SWIMMING RACES ! The CHAIRMAN head a letter from Mr. Edwards with reference to the swimming classes and the races which were held last Friday , which passed off most successfully . Mr. BLAKE reported that there were pre- sent three or four of the Managers at the races , and he was pleased to say that the boys acquitted themselves in a first - class manner , and there was no doubt that some of the boys would make in time some really first - class swimmers . All the races were ad- mirably carried out , and were very credit- able to the school . Mr. LLEWELLYN said he would like to have seen more prizes given for the younger boys , as most of the older boys secured the prizes . FOR KING AND COUNTRY - A meeting for the purpose of reporting the progress made in recruiting for Lord Kitchener's Army since September 24th , was held in the Reading Room at Goodrich , Mr. Pott being in the chair . A letter was read from Mr. Cecil Moffatt , who has already enlisted at Shrewsbury , urging all men of military age to join at once . Captain Inglefield reported that he had taken six men to Hereford from the district , and that another dozen were due to go on Wednesday , most of these com- . ing from Peterstow . In addition to these , and to the volunteers whose names were given in the " Ross Gazette " of September 26th as having joined from Goodrich , the fol- lowing are now enrolled : Messrs . W. F. Greenwell . Cecil Moffatt , E. J. James , A. H. Thairs , Albert Williams , W. Johns , H. Wig- more , and Barry . So far it is computed that over 40 from this centre have given their services to the country , and others will no doubt follow this excellent example . COTTAGE GARDEN COMPETITIONS . - terest in the races . Although the Goodrich and District Horti- cultural Society's show was abandoned , the prizes given by the County Council for the cottage garden competitions were given as usual , and the judging was done in July last . The first prize was won by Robert Beizsley , of Pencraig , and the second by William Jenkins , Stop Gates , Marstow , to whom the awards have been paid . The com- petitors ran each other very close , only half a point separating the first and second prize winners . Beizsley obtained 130 points and Jenkins 1291 . KERNE BRIDGE . PATRIOTIC CONCERT . - Particular at- tention is called to the patriotic concert ar- ranged by the local athletic club , to he held on Tuesday , September 22nd , at Kerne Bridge , the proceeds of which will be given to the war fund . LINTON . PATRIOTIC MEETING . - A patriotic meeting took place at the schools , Linton , on Monday last , at 8 o'clock . After letters of apology for absence from Capt . R. W. Allen and Rev. Stanley Cox had been read , ap- peals for recruits were made by Mr. Dale ( of Hereford ) . Col. Dalzell , Mr. Ketley , Mr. Shambrook . At the conTelusion of the meet- ing , eight recruits gave in their names - four for Lord Kithener's Army and four for the Territorials . Seven also joined the National Reserve . Up - to - date , from the ecclesiastical parish of Linton 18 have enlisted . One re- servist has been called up , two were already serving in His Majesty's forces at the out- break of the war .

Then he thought they ought to pass a vote of thanks to Mr. Kerwood - for the trouble he took in arranging and carry- ing out the classes and taking such an in- The Chairman considered it would be a good thing if they formed a swimming com- mittee , so that these classes and races could he thoroughly well organised . He hoped that the classes for girls would be arranged next summer , and no doubt Mrs. Thomas and Mrs. Watson would look after the girls . He would propose that Mr. Blake , Mr Llewellyn , and the Rev. W. A. Powicke serve as the swimming committee , which was seconded and carried . The vote of thanks to Mr. Kerwood was also agreed upon , and the Rev. R. T. A. Money - Kyrle kindly consented to distribute the prizes on Friday next . Mr. BLAKE said he would rather resign his position in favour of the rev . gentleman who had now come to the town as the new THE NEW MANAGER . The CHAIRMAN read a letter from the Rev. J. Angus resigning his position as a Manager , and thanking the Board for their kind expression and courtesy during his term of office on the Board . The resignation was accepted with regret , and the Managers proceeded to recommend the name of a gentleman to fill the vacancy to the County Council . Mr. LLEWELLYN : We don't want that , Mr. Blake . I had the pleasure to propose Mr. Kettle as a member of the Board when he came . Mr. BLAKE : You need not bring that up . But I shall resign rather than allow two names to be submitted to Hereford , for I shall not agree to that . Mr. LLEWELLYN said he wished to pro- pose the name of Mr. T. Matthews . He was a large ratepayer , and a thorough business Mr. WINTLE seconded . man . Mr. MEREDITH said there was another question that occurred to him , and that was the question of summoning parents . Surely local gentlemen would have a better idea as to the position of these people rather than a total stranger . He had always been very careful about sanctioning people to be prose- cuted . Mr. BLAKE said he believed the usual . course had been to appoint the successors to the various ministers of the town when they left . They did the same thing when Mr. Kettle came , and he therefore thought that they should on this occasion appoint Mr. Angus ' successor . Mr. LLEWELLYN said he did not do this out of any disrespect to Mr. Angus , or his successor . But Mr. Matthews was a large ratepayer , and they were already well repre- sented by the various ministers of the town . It was such men as Mr. Matthews that they wanted on that Board to see that the money was spent aright . The Rev. POWICKE : We don't spend any money . Mr. BLAKE said he had not the slightest objection to Mr. Matthews , but he thought should appoint his successor . as a sort of compliment to Mr. Angus they The CHAIRMAN said he was very sorry there was this difference of opinion on this matter , but if they liked they could get over the difficulty by sending two names to the Education Committee for them to choose Mr. BLAKE said he would not agree to that , as it would only cause a great deal of All controversy . The Rev. MONEY - KYRLE said the theo- logical question ought never to have been introduced at all , and he did not think it was a question of replacing a Nonconformist But this by a Churchman or visa versa . matter had been suddenly sprung upon him , and he had come there rather expecting that they would follow the precedence of previous years . Since he had been on that Board , when one minister had left another was al- ways appointed to take his place . But he quite saw that there was something to be said on the other side . It was not a theo- logical question , but simply a question of the best men for the post . It was far better that they should look at the matter in that way rather than introducing the subject of Nonconformist against Churchmen or visa versa . The Rev. POWICKE said the different Ministers represented a certain number of parents and children , and he might say that when he came to the town he felt very much honoured to think that he was appointed on the Board , and that he could take a part in a work in which he was very much interest- ed , and he was sure that was how Mr. Angus felt , who had also had some experi- ence in educational matters . After further discussion , Mr. Llewellyn's motion was carried , three or four of the members not voting either way . " SCHOOL REPORTS ..

Sir , I have no doubt that many residents of Ross to whom Mr. Schomberg is known were pleased to see his letter in the " Ross Gazette " last week . He is a gentleman who by his genial manner and kindness of heart has made many friends since he came to hoped that his very handsome donation to reside in our little town , and it is to be the Prince of Wales ' Fund will stimu- late others who have the means to come for- ward in like manner for the laudable pur- pose for which this fund is being raised , and which should appeal to the heart of every Englishman . Yours etc. , ROSSONIAN . FOOTBALL AND THE WAR . TO THE EDITOR OF THE Ross Gazette . Sir , I have read with interest Mrs. Pil- kington's letter on " Local Football and the War . " As secretary of the recently formed Town Club perhaps you will allow me a little space in your paper to reply thereto . The Ross and District League meeting was held on August 22nd , and at that time it was very difficult to come to a decision at once , and the meeting was adjourned for a fortnight in order to give clubs an oppor- tunity to give a definite reply as to whether they would join the League or not . Some days before your correspondent's FOOTBALL . ROSS AND DISTRICT LEAGUE 2 ABANDONED . At an adjourned meeting of the Ross_and District League , held at the New Inn Hotel on Saturday evening , it was unanimously decided , owing to the present crisis , to abandon the league competition for the time being , and further resolved that a small com- mittee should meet at Christmas and decide . whether it would then be advisable to run the league or not . It was pointed out that several clubs would be unable to raise a team owing to many of their players having enlisted in the army . A resolution was passed strongly deprecat- ing the tone of a letter which appeared in last under the heading of week's " Gazette Local Football and the War , " as it had been published in the daily Press that both the War Office and the Football Association advised the continuance of football during the war where practicable . At the last meet- ing of the league it was decided to adjourn the meeting in order to give the clubs an opportunity of giving a definite reply as to whether they could raise a team and so join the competition or not . Under these circumstances the tone of the letter was much to be regretted , as footballers were a class of people as patriotic as any other , and those who had to remain at home through no fault of their own — were acting wisely by keeping themselves in training for any emergency that might arise .

The Rev. POWICKE said he took it that it was a sort of compliment to the denomin- ation the reverend gentleman represented to elect them on that Board . This practice had always been in vogue , and he thought it was quite unnecessary to alter it on this occasion . He might also say that the minis- ters were not unbusinesslike in fact à great many of them , and especially the Wesleyan ministers , were most businesslike men . And this Board was not pre - eminently a business Board , but an educational one , and men with college training and the knowledge of edu- cational matters were equally as fitted to sit on that Board . Ever since the Council Schools were formed , the particular religious bodies were asked to nominate a person to act on the Management , and he believed that had been adhered to in their own district . The CHAIRMAN then explained how the position became to be given to the Wesleyan Minister . Certain Managers were appointed by the County Council ,, and one of those was the late Mr. Thomas Southall . At his death they recommended the appointment of their old friend the Rev. J. Boulter , and ever since then the different Wesleyan Min- ister had been appointed to succeed those who left the town from that church . Mr. Powicke was clearly wrong about the differ- ent denominations being asked to appoint the Managers to represent them . The Rev. POWICKE said he obtained his information from an old minute book of the Free Church Council . Yours faithfully . W. E. SMITH , Hon . Sec . Ross Town F. C. Camp View , Ross . 8th September , 1914 .

The CHAIRMAN said he considered it a great pleasure to be able to preside overi their meeting for the first time , and also to be their president for the year . The task before them that evening was a very simple one , and that was to discuss the advisability of holding the show this year . He would therefore ask those present to give the meet- ing their opinions on the subject , Ald . PREECE said the circumstances un- de which they met that evening were very different to what they had ever experienced before , or ever hoped to see again . Agricul tural Societies of this kind generally had , he understood , decided to give up their shows for this year . Whether it was right or wrong to do so was quite another question . He did not look upon their show in the same light as he did upon some pleasures and the games that were going on around them . There was a purpose in supporting agricul- ture , and it was their duty to do so as much s they could , so that they might be able He looked to provide a larger food supply . upon football , iacing , and such sports as those quite differently ; in fact he could not use words too strong in condemning the idea which some young fellows seemed to have , inasmuch that they desired to provide some amusement for themselves , and to kick a football about a field rather than do any- thing to defend their country . The holding of an Agricultural Show such as that con- nected with the Harewood End Society was a very different thing ; and thère was no doubt that society had done for some years past a very valuable work , in providing a hetter and larger food supply in that neigh- hourhood , and for that reason he thought they should consider this matter very ser- iously before they took any definite steps . or before they gave up the show for this But at the same time they could hardly enjoy themselves in the old way , es- pecially when they considered the amount of misery and distress that would he caused through this war . He hoped there would he no petty jealousy , but that they should he unanimous about it . If they decided to hold the show , he hoped people would not think they were doing the wrong thing . He hard- ly liked to move a resolution until it had heen fully discussed . After they had gone- thoroughly into the matter they might then he able to come to some decision which would he acceptable to all . year . to Mr. TAYLOR said the circumstances under which they met were very grave , but at the same time there were many things which could he taken into consideration as whether they should carry on the show in a normal way . There were , of course , many manure prizes given and several members of the society prepared their crops for these competitions , and it was only right in his opinion that the merchants should be given the opportunity of getting those awards made . One suggestion had occurred to him , and that was that they should show some of the classes , and on this occasion they should grant some of the money to the patriotic fund which was being raised in the country . They might , for instance , simply have a show of the field crops , the farms and the ploughing matches , and the proceeds or part of them given to the fund . They did not suppose for a moment that they would make a profit on the society this year . Mr. RUDGE said he had had the oppor tunity of coming into contact with many of the members , and judging by what he had heard from one and another he understood that it would be well to carry on the show merely as a matter of , business , and give half the prizes to the patriotic fund . This was a time when they should encourage agri- culture in every possible way . They looked upon their show not as a matter of pleasure but as a matter of business , and for that reason several did not consider that ther should give up the show for this year , but that they should arrange to hold a number of the classes ( hear , hear ) . " He might say that he was stopped in the street that even- ing by the Rev. Money - Kyrle , the Rector of Ross , who ventured to give his opinion , and he thought their show should be carried on . It was most important that agriculture should be stimulated in every way , and Mr. Money - Kyrle hoped they would hold their show , and said that if there was any falling off in the funds he would increase his dona- tion ( hear , hear ) . At the same time Mr. Money - Kyrle ventured to suggest that they should not , if they held the show , hold their convivial gathering in the evening , and he hardly thought it would be the right thing to hold their annual dinner . It was un time for conviviality , for there was their presi- dent and others who had dear ones at the front , and that being so it was certainly not a time for conviviality . If they ran the show his idea was that they should drop all the ring competitions . They could also drop the ploughing matches , for the young men whom they wished to encourage in these classes had left the district to serve their country . He Mr. Rudge ) was only giving his opinion , and he thought they might carry on the business part of their show and omit the other . Mr. DAY said he considered that they should abandon the show for this year Many societies had already abandoned their shows . There were not many of them whe would care to go round with a hook asking for subscriptions , for the people would ne doubt tell them that they had a far bette way for the use of their money . He did no think for one moment that they would lose anything by dropping the show for thi year . If they held some classes and left out others they would sure to give offence to some people . By not holding a show he did not think they would offend anyone ( hear , hear ) . If there were no show the far mers would buy the manures just the san Mr. PERCY PREECE agreed with Mr Day that they should give up the show ' fo this year . Mr. C. BUSSELL . said his firm were quite prepared to give some of their prize mone to the National Relief Fund if there wer no show . Ald . PREECE said a great many show were abandoned , but he did not mean to sa that all those societies were doing the righ thing . He would be quite willing to go o with the show , and agreed with Mr. Rudg that they should run the business part of i He did not think they could he taunted fo doing that ; and as a matter of business the should encourage the growth of crops . The CHAIRMAN said he had had a gres deal to do with societies up in the nort and , they were running their shows up purely business lines and dropping all t amusements . Whatever was done he wou he pleased to fall in with the majority . Mr. E. BELLAMY supported the sugge tion that they should give up the show f this year . They did not know what lay b fore them , and there would be a good ma people who would need their money and a tention before the war was over . Mr. MARFELL said the question w whether they would do the society and t |
