THE CONTROL OF BAD LANGUAGE.

MEASURE AGAINST TEACH- ING BLASPHEMY,

FUN IN COMMONS SESSION.

Labour members were unable to do more than delay proceedings of the Standing Committtee for a few minutes when consideration of the Seditious and Blasphemous Teach- ing to Children Bill was resumed last at the House. of Commons month. A quorum having been loft formed without them, they their positions in the corridor and. trooped into the room.

Mr. Scurr desired to alter the age at which it was made an of fened to teach sedition and blasp hemy to children from 16 to 11, his contention being that at 14 boys went out to work and came into contact with blasphemy, if not sedition. A workman who üsed a blasphemous expression might unwittingly find himself violating this mensure when it be Came an Act.

Capt Hält expressed surprisn at the amendment, as it was al- ways understood to be a principle of the Labour party that the school leaving age should be 16. The amendment would weaken the Bill, and was illogical, coming from the Labour party.

Mr. Rhys Davies informed Capt. Holt that he would be astonished if he heard the language used in the coal mined where boys of 14 worked, and added that no Act

could affect of Parliament language used underground.

If the Bill was passed, the Hume Office, which had a secret service, would have to employ Welsh de tectives to see that the law was not violated Wales, he went on, is an important part of Great Britain, and has produced many notable statesmen. (Laughter and Con servative eries of "Name")

"Linguistic Experiments."

A moment later Mr. Rhys Davies had to be called to order because, amid a burst of laughter, he had lapsed into the Welsh language.

The chairman, Sir Richard Bar- neti, pointed out that they could not have "linguistic experiments," but Mr. Snell asked if they were to understand that one of the native languages of the United Kingdom rould not be used.

The chairman answered that Mr. Davin was using language which he presumed.. was blasphemy. (Laughter.)

Mr. Rhy Davies agreed to sub- mit to the chairman's ruling, and caused a fresh outburst of laugh- ter when he explained that when he spote in Welsh all he said was, "Mr. Chairman, ladies and gentle. men."
