THE ACCIDENT TO MR TOM JOHN.

Mr Tom John, of Llwynypia, is recovering as well as can be expected after his nasty accident on his birthday anniversary. The Ystradyfodwg School Board (writes a correspondant) are a fine, sensible body of men to work under. At their School Management Committee they passed a resolution expressing "regret at the accident which befel Mr Tom John while attempting to save a child from what might have been a fatal fall, and deeply sympathised with him in his misfortune, which will cause him to be abset for some time from duty; we recommend that his absence from school be permitted and approved by the School Board." If Schools Boards generally treated their teachers with the same sympathy and urbanity as the Ystrad School Board, the teachers would be a happy body of people, and happy teachers mean a happy school.
