EDUCATION IN WALES.

(Pram W CardiffGwarciAam.)

Mr. Tearle's report of the meeting of teachers, for
the diocese el Vaadaff, presents a few statistics and remarks
relative to the potencies of Breese, Cardigan, Carmarthen,
sad Pembrok., together with pert of Olentontaushire and
part of Radnorshire. The following are extracts:
I commenced azy labours in this dioceses (S. David's)
en the 17th of April, 1848, at Swansea. and concluded them
at Llanolly, in Breeonshire, on the 27th of April, 1849.

in Olamorganah;re, 6 in Carmenthenshirs, tan io Pembroke-
shire, 11 in Cardiganshire, b io Radnorshire, and 11 in
Brecoostaire. Of these 14 were girl's schools, 14 boy's, 19
slid, and 4 infants'. The number on the books is
3,962, and the average daily woodmen 3,102 • being
about 77.7 registered names, 90.3 Whiten in each ;shoot.
" I cocsidtr 21 of them to be in an unsatisfactory etre,
16 are in an improvieg condition, and 14 doing well. Ot
these last, the boys' national school and the girls' free
school at Swansea &serve particular mention ; ma also do
the girls' school at Beeson, the boys' school at Ray, and
the mused schools at Casestoe and li-dbeth. AU these

the clergyman or one of the member of the school com-

give the bop a tests for gardening. At Peallergare (near
Swansea) a plat of ironed is applrtioned out in square
patches /or the boys to cultivate. They emanate-Id to plant
anything swept pets oes • the seed is generally given to
them, sad they ate permitted to sell their crops.
" Schoolmasters and adintente generally take far too
Utile monies is the open air. This is the chief remote why
so many of them look pale, sickly, and languid ; sad, if
the remark one of her Majesty's inspectors be true, that
'the meanies of a schoolmaster tends to shorten life,' it is
meialy attributable to this cause. in all nay peregrinations
I have met but two moms who have made it a practice
of taking daily exercise foe their health's sake.
" The prospects of ,duration is the principality are
brightealag. Much, very mach, has been done in the last
few years; unsay new saoob have been built, and many
move are in the amuse of ereetioa. At Swansea, Censer-
thee, and Cardigan, schools of a first-rate kind have been
established; at Beam, Piehgaard, aced Neweastle-Etalya,
similar buildings are in comes of ensiles ; and at Unless-
