The scholarships would, now be increased to 45. Mr. Jenkyn Thomas then read his report for the year, in the course of which he stated that on June 16 the school was inspected by Mr. Owen Owen, M.A.. and on July 19 and following days the first annual examination under the Central Welsh Board was held. The report had not yet arrived, but. the schedule of the marks J obtained by the pupils had been received, and he thought he might safely claim that an analysis of it would show that both the scone and the quality of the work done during the first year of the existence of the school were quite as satis- factory as could have been expected.
