SPEECII DAY.

In spite of the war, Speech Day last year was as successful a€ e¥er. The weather was all that could be desired, and although there were not quite as many visitors as was the case last ~·ear, the big ball was completely filled. Both the schoolroom and the entrance hall were very tastily decorated '¥ith greenery and bunting. the flags of the Allies being prominent. A martial air was ghen to the assembly by a large number of boys in uniform.

The Governor, who had consented to distribute the prizes. was received by the Headmaster, and after .inspecting the guard of honour, went upstairs to the big schoolroom.

The Rev. Dr. Bromilow opened the proceedings with a short prayer, and the IIeadmaster then presented his annual report.

In the course of his report he said that under the new system parents were much better able to understand the necessary con-

ditions for successful work. They could now see that they must give their boys sufficient time at secondary schools; that one stage must b& completed before the next could be entered upon, e.nd that it was useless to request that difficult subjects should be given up. In this State, as elsewhere, grave dangers were threatening education. Not the least of these was an excessive utilitarianism. ln Europe it was recognised that technical and art schools were invaluable in their places, and demands were made on all secondary schools to make some provn'sion for this necessity. England had fallen behind in this i·espect, until she had been awakened by finding that her more progressive rivals were threatening her trade, and ;now ample provision was made for technical education. But at the same time, the old humanists who cullfrated 1iterature, philosophy, and sometimes mathema-tics, for their own sakes were right; for it was the governing ideae of a man's life that fashioned the form of it. T.he influence of Treitschke upon the German nation was a notorious example of this. The tendency towards the democratisation of education was strong here, but nevertheless it had its powerful critics. As every schoolboy well knew, there was no democracy in the intel-lectual world. Between genius and talent the difference was pos-sibly qualitative. The greater part of us, however, belonged to the mediocrity, and it was a saviITTg grace to be able to realise it. To put all subjects on the same level was to mi!'s all this; for their relative value depended to a large extent upon the amount of time they demanded and their initial difficulty. If the sub-jects in which progress was slow were not <.>ncournge<l, they would ultimatl'l,r perish, a consummation which only an e-xtremist could contemplate with satisfaction.

After presenting the prizes, tl1e Governor, in a few well-chosen sentences, congratulated those who hacl won prizes, and encouraged those w'ho had not had the good fortune to do so. As the Ileadmaster had said, geniuses were :few; but m\1ch was due to the boy who, knowing that be lacked the qualifications 1af genius, tried by honest effort to make up the deficiency. Any boy who devoted himself earnestly BJld sincere!y to his work, was worthy of the highest praise, whether he won prizes or not.

The Rev. F. Colwell (President of the Conference) then moved a vote of thanks to His Excellency. This was seconded by )fr. E. Yickery. a Yery early O.N., and cari;ed by acclamation.

When the cheers. which always close tbe proceedings, had been giYen lustily by the boys, the visitor~ retired to the lawn. where afternoon tea was served.

On his entry to ' \ "at·sity life the student of medidnc 11111,.,1 "Pt•ncl hil; fin,I th1·ee terms iu ma:stct·ing thc clcment:s of l'hp;ic~, Biol-ogy, and Chemistry, the scientific fouudation of all his future career. Ho.dug satisfied his examiners in these s11bjecH1, the second chapter ii:; open1.-<I, and uuring 1hc second and thinl years the mystencs of the structure and functions of the human body are to be s tudied. and learnt tho1·uught~·; for upon his succe~s in this depends all future success. .\ft er pass111g the third year examination, one of the moist search111g of till' courM', the final chapter of the medicEtl student's life i:s entered upon. He passes into the hospital. and there at the bcdside and operating table he i;ces and examines ' 'arious a1:;pec1s of disease . .NoL one detail must be pa ssed O\er, but merythii1g must be ston•d away so111c-"here in the brain where it will L>e at hand for fu1ure reference.

At each examination, iu atlditiou to "ritteu papers, the can-didate is called upon to undergo rim wee cxuminations, which lo the un\\ary and carele;;s often pro\e a pitfall. So much for the course. The 8yduey ,\l edical School is oue of the best of its kind in the Empire. lts equipment and teaching staff are excellent.. .\s for the building itself, it has a tloo1· space far exceeding that of the main building of the t..:nher;.ity. 1t was erected at a cost of £120,000, and is still incomplete.

The "on<lerful success and the rapid expanse of the Faculty of ~lL"<l icine a1·e due to our present deau, Sir Thomas .\nderson 8tuart, who hall sae1·ifice<l a life of academic study, iu "hi<:h he gaYe brilliant promise, and has gh en himself heart and soul to building up !or future generations a school "hose blut11s quo is recognised and honoured throughtout the world. \\'ell might he say with Horace, "EJ·cgi 11wnu111cntum UCll<' pc:rcnnus."

fin.! yl'arn of toil and patient study may seem a long time to spend in preparation, but the ultimate goal ii; worth the winning, and ut no trn1c is t.he course dull, for there is e,·er a kaleidoscopic land scape of subjects, none of which are uninterestiag or unneces-i:.a ry. J• 1·om this school there ha'e passed some fo!lloui:; scholars and practitioner», among them being l'rofessor Uraftou Elliot 8mith, "ho 110" holds the exalted position of \'ice-1'1·esident of the Royal 8ocicty, and is Dean of the Faculty of 1\ledicrnc of ,\Janchester l ' nhersity. Amongst t.be brilliant Xewingtouiuns are such men as the late D1-. H inder. Drs .. \bbot, l'urser, Sawkin~, and many others, who to-day are the leaders of their profession.
