PENMON FAMILY HISTORY AND RELATED TOPICSThe record books show that Newtown beat Wrexham to win the Welsh Association Cup - what they don't reveal is that Newtown had been reduced to ten men, following an incident, vividly reported in the Montgomeryshire Express.'Lewis and Owen (of Wrexham) put in some good play and sent in a sky scraper. Harrison calculated it would drop into the mouth of the goal and made tracks for Goodwin (Newtown's goalkeeper) and the latter not being particularly fond of having his head smashed, knocked Harrison down, and took advantage of the time and place to enforce upon that worthy's mind the fact that although he was a goalkeeper, he was flesh and blood and not able to complacently withstand face pawing, more than an ordinary individual. Harrison retaliated; Goodwin reiterated his resolve to clear him out; the referee interfered, pronounced Goodwin guilty and ordered him off the ground.'Before kick off, football enthusiast were seen 'perambulating the streets' of Welshpool, where the final was played, with cards projecting from their hats bearing the well known sentence 'Play up Newtown'. Wrexham took the lead following a Beeston free kick, and the ball was slipped past Goodwin with lightening speed from the foot of Lewis, drawing first blood. Newtown replied after A. W. Pryce Jones dribbled up the centre, played the ball to his brother W.

In the second half, despite the set back,Newtownwere treating the spectators to a brilliant game, and looked like winning.

PENMON FAMILY HISTORY AND RELATED TOPICSEarly in the nineteenth century, it was realised that the 'masses' should be given some learning, particularly those in the industrialised towns and cities. Such learning was to be directed to emphasising each one's station in society according to God's will. In 1. 83. 3, Government grants were made available to both the non denominational British and Foreign Schools and the Church of England National Society. These voluntary bodies were required to raise half the cost of building a school before qualifying for a grant. The intention of the church schools was to see that education would turn young people in the towns away from thieving and make for a better life. This had to be a consideration in smaller communities as well.
That the doctrine of the Church of England was an essential part of threir curriculum was to become a bone of contention. By 1. 83. 9, the 'religious question' was the cause of open conflict between church and chapel over the allocation of money for elementary education. By the middle of the century, government inspectors were employed to inspect state aided schools. Both types of schools used the monitorial system of teaching. The teacher instructed a monitor who would in turn attempt to pass on that knowledge to a group of ten or more pupils.
The pupil monitor's education suffered from this arrangement as did that of the rest of the pupils. The three . It was particularly ineffective when monoglot Welsh children had to be taught through English, the language considered essential to get on in life. They were taught parrot fashion, without any understanding, so what was taught was soon forgotten. They were also taught that Welsh was an inferior language.
This was illustrated by a remark made by a housewife in Newborough in the late eighteenth nineties, on seeing an Englishman walking up the street - . Part of the teachers' pay, which came from the grant, was dependent on these results. Attendance suffered when epidemics hit the area or when seasonal absences occurred, as children missed school to help with weeding or harvesting. Working class education suffered and failed.
The Church and British schools in Dwyran had educated many Newborough children. Before the Newborough British school was firmly established, well- to- do Dwyran people raid the fees of nonconformist children so that they attended the British school there instead of thelocal Church school. The Church, with dwindling congregations, was unable to raise funds to maintain some of its National schools.
The Church school in Llangeinwen closed in 1. School Board in 1. Canon W. Williams, son of its founder. In 1. 88. 0, education became compulsory. The 1. 89. 1 Act brought in education as a right with payment by results being finally abolished in 1. With Griffith Jones, Maes y Ceirchdir as Management Committee secretary, a British school had been opened in Newborough in February 1. M. C. It was run and financed by non- conformists with no help from the rector, Rev.
Thomas Meredith or from church members. In 1. 86. 8, Methodist chapels on the island made a special collection towards the Newborough school. At that time, under the Caernarfon Poor Law Union, the parish was separately maintaining its own poor. The Caernarfon Union, under the direction of the Poor Law Board, Whitehall, London, had given permission in March 1.
Church Wardens and Overseers of the Poor to sell parish property for the erection of a school in the village. Other money was raised from residents, proprietors and employers paying the poor rate.
Richard Davies, who employed Newborough seamen, gave fifty pounds. A labourer contributed half a crown. The correspondent for the exchanges with Whitehall, was Griffith Jones, Maes y Ceirchdir. The school was intended .
Nine tenths of the families in labouring population are members of the nonconforming congregation. Jones, shopkeeper, his brother William Jones who would be ordained a Methodist minister in 1. M. C. Chapel in the village, and their father Richard Jones, a chapel deacon for forty years. The headmaster, Owen Griffiths, had been a pupil teacher at Llanrhuddiad before being trained at the Bangor Normal College, which had opened in 1. British and Foreign Schools Society. Pupil teachers, introduced in the middle of the century, had to be thirteen years of age and over, and have five years apprenticeship with annual inspections, when the best were given scholarships to training colleges.
The not too gifted could gain Certificates of Merit and grants to still pay part of their wages. Pupils joined at regular intervals, dropped out, left to go to situation or returned after a long absence. By the end of the first year, a full grant was paid showing that teaching and attendance satisfied D. R. The following year, one of the best scholars left to go to sea, whilst some young ladies attended to help with needlework. The first lesson in English grammar was given in 1. A boy, attending instead of his sister, was told that it was contrary to rules, but his parents, having paid the fee, obviously wanted their money's worth. Following the example set by earlier schools in the area, young sailors home from sea attended occasionally.
By December 1. 86. Inspector visited. It was noted that the corn harvest affected attendance in the August and work on the land was to interfere with schooling well into the next century. Some of the brighter boys were encouraged to become paid monitors, especially after the new schoolroom was opened, but there were insufficient eleven and twelve year olds . However, the Certificated master, Owen Griffiths of Llanfechell, taught with the help of John Davies, a nephew of Escu Davies, as a pupil teacher, one paid monitor, a sewing mistress and two other monitors, with the proportion of girls to boys amongst the pupils being very small.
The H. M. I. Some pupils attended school for instruction in writing only. They had already learnt to read at Sunday school. Forster's 1. 87. 0 Education Act, thirty four school boards were eventually formed on Anglesey.
Owen Owen, 6 months school cleaning. The Newborough board was compulsorily elected in July 1. The Charmain was Captain William Thomas with Captain Robert Roberts as treasurer.
The other members of the board were Richard P. Jones, Samuel Roberts and Mr Griffiths. It must have been a proud moment when the Bye- laws were printed ending with the words - . Peter's, Newborough, this 8th day of December, 1. WILLIAM THOMAS, Chairman.
ESCU DAVIES, Clerk. Thomas Meredith, had warned the parish about the rate bogy and had caused worry and delay.
The schools were for five to thirteen year old boys and girls and . As early as 1. 87.
The board took further steps to encourage attendance at the school, for they were well aware that the government grant depended on it. Newborough in its early days closed for just two or days at Easter, Christmas and other holy days, keeping to the church tradition as laid down by the government bye- laws. It also closed when the church and chapel held their separate Harvest Festivals, or when religious bodies held special meetings, services and music festivals in Newborough as well as neighbouring villages. Public meetings and elections were held at the schoolrooms. August 1. 87. 8 brought the first holiday excursion from the village to Llandudno and Rhyl, when the school was closed for the day. It sometimes closed for the funeral of important members of the community. When weeding and other work on the land affected school attendance, the board very wisely began to arrange school holidays to coincide with such essential work.
A more serious reason for the closure was an epidemic of measles in 1. The Medical Officer of Health was to close many schools on Anglesey over the years due to whooping cough, influenza, chickenpox, mumps, scarlet fever and measles, and children from an infected family would occasionally be excluded. By the late 1. 87. John Jones, the police officer, was paid seven shillings and sixpence for serving school board notices to parents whose children were regularly absent. One parent was taken to court for non payment of school fees.
Absences became such a matter of concern that the board decided to order a logbook to record and explain the absences. A mother from Penlon came to explain that her children could not attend school as they had neither shoes nor clogs to wear. The Relieving Officer was asked to ascertain why children were so often absent, and was told to inform the parents that their children, whose fees were paid by the Guardians of the Poor, were expected to attend at least eight times weekly. The Guardians also bought clogs so pauper children could attend.
In 1. 88. 0, the payment of school fees became compulsory, so Griffith R. Jones was requested to collect them from the pauper children. With everyone paying fees, it appeared that with just the one school in the village where the rector also was visiting the school, the conflict between the church and the chapels was less apparent. In 1. 88. 3, Escu Daves, who was both clerk and attendance officer, had been asked to find out if school attendance at Llangaffo and Llangeinwen was any better. The speakers were the Rev. Jones, the Rector, Rev.
William Jones, Messers. Griffiths, B. A., Ty Coch, Llanidan and Richard Hughes, Cefn Mawr. Eventually William Ellis, Relieving Officer, was asked to supply the board with the birth certificates of all children under fifteen years of age. At the same time, all religious bodies in the village were asked to draw the attention of their congregations to poor attendance and the threat of legal proceedings.
William Jones, Bryniau, was asked to seek out possible pupil teachers, and all future teachers were to be given written agreements. Mary Jones, Ty'n Pant was employed for three months at an annual salary of . Teachers absent without permission were fined sixpence a day.
Thomas Jones, son of Richard Jones, Rhedyn Coch was urged to attend school in 1.
