"THE time is fa. t approaching when your Institution wi]fbe an xample, not scoffed a , not doubted. not dreaded,but in. ated, when, no longer .ingle, you will be enabled,

looking around from this spot, to count your progeny rising upin every direction, like that of the celebrated Asiatic tree. whoseseed, wherever th y falJ, spring up in forests, each nobler andmore fruitful than its parent."

So, doubtle s, on th 15th of eptember, 1 37, the Editor,with hi· new-fashioned steel pen, laboriou ly copied out theword of , ir Thomas \Vy· , M.P., spoken that very day in theLiverpool Institute.

The Editor once morL brings the word , long hidden industy archives, o the light of day. The fountain pen glide·. moothly over the paper, though no longer, ala , i the Editorialwriting the immaculat copper-plate of penmanship. But theword· live again.A hundred year: hence, perhaps, the Editor will read outthe words to hi: Dictaphone-:peaking i. so much quicker thanwri ing.

Though circumstanct may change, the Editor remain.immutabk·.

154 THE JU IOR 'CHOOL CONCERT.

�be Junior Scbool <!onccrt.

THE oncert pre entcd by member - of the Junior school,wa rather le ·pectacular than u -ual on account of the

absence of gay dre se- and action.- to illustrate ong . There was great variety in the programme, however, which

ranged from negro ·pirituals to recitations such a - " Who' who at the zoo " ! The negro :piritual · were obviou ly taken very eriouslv by both audience and ingers, and were well done.

There were many of Brahm's ·ong ·, eight in all, while the Hebridean song seemed to bring more liveline s into the concert, chiefly because of the loud and merry chorus of boys in the junior school. But a if to quell all joviality Ib recited the rather gloomy ballad " emmerwater," which immediately made the audience quieter.

The longest poem which wa recited wa · " High tide on the coast of Lincoln hire," and was a good example of well learnt work on the part of Clark, its reciter. " The Clou? " was done very eriou ly by Jacob, but wa not taken so seriously by the audience.

Phillips gave an exclusive item, ,.vhich was a violin solo, accompanied by l\'Iiss ilakins. 'everal talented young people made good u e of the piano. . Credit is due to Miss Makin who undertook the preparabon of the concert, and the boys, too, are to be thanked and coo­gratuJated on their effort to help the Fund.

recommendation of the Home 'ecretan· that )Ir. John W1ll1am ... forri�, K.C., be appointed an ad<li ( nal ju<lg' of the High Court of Justice of he I-le of 1Ian. to be . tyled the 'Jud�e of Appeal.'

Danson.-The pa t term ha again hown that Da_nson. i not content with being one of the "al o ran." The , wimrrun�Team did e.·tremely well to Wili tl,e new " Bagnall Cup," an

'It i, up to �he member of the Jun�or chool_ wh? will con:titute the Honse 1� future, to see that thi_s _rcpu�ation ts up­held. They can do it, tf they :how the fine spmt which ha been·ho'l'.n by the Hous · for the past twelve month . To doubt every member of Danson will greatly regret beingtran {erred to' another Hous · next term, but_ they must fight fortheir new House as they hav fought for the1r old.

Hughes.-Few who were _in I;Iughe last year are in it u�w. On those members of the Junior �chool fall the duty of keeping rital that ·pirit which in th past ha made t�e member. of the Honse a team, working willingly together, m pro·penty andadn::r.ity alike. On the manv who ar no longer in Hughes i laid there ponsibility of ,�·orking for their new House with loyalty \'engreater han that which th y bowed to the old. To the old Hughes all bid " Good-bye " ; to the newHughe: and its Captain, "Good luck." T. H.\WTHOR. •.

Owen.-The ·ummt·r term ha: been quite a succe ·ful one forOwen. e:pecially for the Juniors. They are �articul�rly to _becongratulated on winning thl: Jw1ior .'port . hield. _1he Junior·wimming team also did very well, "·inning all thetr m�tchl ..chiefly by turning up in full numben; when other teams chd not.If the :eniors had shO\\ n the same enthu iasm we would ha,·'won the ,\vinuning Cup. The cricket team· did fairly well,although not up to full strength. There ha· been no HouseCompetition this year as in previous years, so that I cannot saywhether your last House Captain's prophecy has come true,but you have done well. Next vear vou will have new Houses and new House Cap­tains and ·all I· can say i:-support them a well as o� bett rthan you have ·upported O\\'en and none will find fault mth you.

THE five essential to a heal hy life, according to a little bO?k

called " Health without \\'ealth " which I wa so mis­guided as o purcha e one <la;-, are regular exercise,

regular sleep, fre h air, sun ·hine and a balanced diet. It all seemed very simple in the introduction : one should keep a mall part of the day for exercise and sun:hine and a large part for sleep, g ·tting a_breath of fresh air nov· and again and seeing that meals have hen proper number of rgs and vitamins and so 00·

Of cour e, I wasn't exactly unhealth · a the time, having managed to get through the win er withou 'flu 01 even the common cold, but I hought it migh be worth , ·h ·1 to make ure of being alway healthy in the future. :"> J •, rted to work through the sections of my l ittle book.

Howev r, a the maid m the house oppo I e - emed to take au inordinately long time cleaning the windO\\.' that morrung, I thought that perha1r my e.·erci e might be taken a little le s publicly. So I turned to th ·econd sugge ion for exerci ·e outlined in my little book, which wa to run two mile before breakfast. - �ext morning, therefore, feeling indecen ly nude in pump�. singlet and shorts, I made an early start before the town awoke to lif ·. I . tarted off down the stree , head up, ·houlder· thrown back and feeling on top of the world until Itripped over a projecting paving. tone and measured my five fee nine inches upon the cold and unyielding granite. Wind re­co,·ered and bruise· ma saged, I continued, but ·lightly daunted, as before, xcep hat mv eye.: were no longer fixed rigidly on the middle di ·tance, and I managed to cover about a mile before I fel in need of a quiet rest.

In be seclu ion of a neigh­bouring alley I folded my elf up until uch time a · he ·titch in my side would pass away . Recovered, I tarted offonce more, de:pite the u piciou glances of an arm of the law,who doubted he decency of my costume, and fini bed the cour ein panking style to the cheer· of three milkmen, a ·treet sweeperand two paper boys .

. I skipped the econd ection of the book, for I regularlyretire to bed at eleven o'clock and ·leep like a log (like a log being sawn, so my family tell me) until ight o'clock in the morning.

. " During the night, the bedroom window· hould be kept \\1de open, to admit fre h air, :-o that the full benefit may be obtai�ed from_ leep." Or so said my little book. I slept �,'ith the "1ndo_w w1d.e open many nights, and it admit ed practicall. · all _the r�m. �ail, now and fog in LiYerpool, and once e,·en a P�npate IC feltne, bu I never derived anv benefit from the fresh air, because I alway ·leep '\\"1th my head below the bed clothes.

---.1 HE .finutes of a �:leeting of the, ociety held in the Boardroo_m onTuesday, • farch 16th, at 7-p.m. with 1'1r. Hicks in the Chau.

Before the .Minutes of the previous J.foeting were read, the secretar)'sk :d that a deputy secretary .hould be appointed, owing to the un· avoidable absence of 1'. Hawthorn, to t, kc notes of the speeches .111Private Business. The Society wi:miruously voted for , ·. E. �artlll.who thereupon took his scat as secret.1ry pro te111p0Yc. After the llfinut� had been read . E. Keidan arose to ask for an alteration to be made iu the report of his fast speech in Public Business. This motio� .wai: " that for appropriate issues of the Studio, the worrls • Modern Publicity should be substituted. His motion was l'arricd.

S. Samuels then arose ,�ith stern a pect ancl reprimanded the slopp} style of the secretaries in using the phra: c" got up," instead of the 111ore

LITERARY .\ ....• ]) I>EB.:\TL .G .'OCIE'f\-. J(j;,

dignified "aro c." His proposal to sub titute "arose " for " got up "was rejected by the Society

A. Carr then jumped up t ac use the secretaries of misquotillgquotation of his in his speech in Public Business. But as he was himself not siue of the exact words, and as one of he secretaries pointed out that the quotation the speaker had used was to be found in many variant forms, the Society voted against the motion.

Undaunted by this rebuff. A. Carr once more arose, this time to criticize an alleged mixture of ttoses in the report of S .. amuel's speech in Public Business. But whe11 he lea�ncd hat no error was really pre<ent, but that the secretary had misread the passage th.rough in­ability to understand his own writin •, he withdrew a motion de igned to make the necessary changes.

The . tyle of the �Iiuutcs w s once r.iore criticized when D. Ellwand uprose to propose that for th· word " pew " occurring at the end of the report of G. H. Tharmc's speech in Public Business, the word "seat " •hould be substituted. The • ociety did not support his motion.

. :amuels returned to the fray to propose that in the report o D. Ellwand'.s speech in Public Business the verb" harangued" should be

ubstituted for " addressed." The Society wa apparently per uaded that the speaker's manner did not justify such a change, and this motion, too, wa lost.

D. Ellwand himseli then uplifted his person to asseverate that ashe had used the words " \'ile Deans." and not " Bile Beans," in his speech in Public Business, the necessary alteration should be made. This motion was passed ..

The Minutes were then si ned, but before proceeding to Public Business, an attempt was made by S. E. Keidan to pass a vote of censUI • on the t.H.P. in C. 011 the grounds that he had allowed the fire to go out during the preYiou meeting. The official concerned was able to gi,·e a good account of him ·ell. howe"er, and the motion was lost.

The time for Private Business having elapsed, the Chairman called upon F.. Storey to propose the motion that " Strikes are harmful and ineffectual." The speaker with a gravity worthy of the subjec_t stated ha he would firs explain what a :.trike i ·. Having thus outlined the

�o.und of di ·cu ion, he said that Capitalists joined together in Employers'l,.;n1011s and could ultimately beat the ·trikers. The main victories of s rikes had been won in time. of war; tho·e who went on strike for tuppcnce-halipenuy per day were in the minority and did great harm to the country generally. There was ,in the opinion of the speaker, a fundamental fallacy in the assumption of Mand t that the struggl� for power was between the Capitali t. and the Proletariat. The llllddle rl?55es had no a:r.:e to grind for either side, and the actions of striker: alienated those who should be leading the Labour . fovement again. t an obsolete economic system. The only way to ameliorate the conditions of labour was by political action. The right method of reform wa theconstitutional method of l'r�ident RooseYelt. Economic solidaritywas essential to progress. The onlv salvation for the world was a newdemocracy, ba!;ed upon the dignity ·of toil. To force capitali!\111 to takeup arms was bad, for it sowed the seed of disruption.b II. I:Ioddc1< was then called upon to ·peak for the opposition. HeO served that he arose with pai11. This martyr in the cause of oratorywas surprised at what he called three rather sweeping statement in the

�eech _of the pr�post•r, for in hi� Yiew, America was not the home o_f .11! � st�ikcs , President Roosevelt had not kept firm hand on ·trike·, an his methods were neither politkal nor constitutional. He then proceeded to make his own spet ch. ash• put it. Hi tory, he sngg ted,

Turning to morals, he ·toutly mawtamed that the ethical argument for strikes was irresitable. They did mor · good than harm and onlv bv strikes could the worker· wrin� privilege from t�e _capita�sts. Resorting to the arg11me11t11m ad Homrncm, he asked the onety to llllagine themselves workers, as they might well have been, but for trikes in the past. Moreover. mo�t members would probably have been maimed by fallinR i.oto machinery at the age of �be He then la, hed the dictatorship and concluded by praising in lavish terms the strike in America organized by lr. John Lewis.

E. . Kelly, who seconded the proposition. refused to be shaken from his usual placidity by the controYer:ial nature of his subject. Incalm tones he declared that the conditions won by " striking were wiped out (sic) by capitalists soon after the strike." The ordinary mau ha5 a living to earn aud is indebted to capitalism for giving him the opportunity H:e then preached the liberal argument of good feeling between mas er and man. Those who went out on strike damaged public services and alienated the sympathy of the middle classes. The only way to bring about economic change was by winning over public opinion and steady progress. � trikes were often as ociated with anarchy and the bad impr ion thu made was always lasting. A. Grabman, who seconded the opp•>sitiou, admitted that be 11·a proud to expose the arguments advanced in support of the motion. He distingui bed between the " . trike for pite " and the strike organized by the Trade Unions. The latter were declared not only for the good of one Union, but for the benefit of the proletariat. To prove the benefit done by strikes, he quoted the strike of the Arab dockers at Haifa and the Doc',: Yard :trike at London" which had prevented a war." After a brief resum� of his main points. he came to an end by adjuring the. ociety to vote against the motion, because of the correctness and justness OJ hj arguments.

'pon_ the motion being thrown open to public debate. J .• •. Bywell took up his sword on behalf of the proposer . nd doughtily smote at �he arguments of_the opposer. To say that strikes did good was to be gwlly of_ narrow �dedne" ; eYerybody was incommoded by strikes. and \\'!Yes and children suffered. trikes gained a little for the few and were thoroughly selfi. h. E. 11. Jlelgate attempted to hoi t th last speaker with his 011:n

The only sound method of settlement was by peaceful arbitration After delivering a warning against the Red agent of Moscow. he sat down. Ur. T. W. Slade thereupon arose to discu,;s the point (sic). �Iany members of the Society wer •• in his opinion. idealist with no brain He proceeded to supply this lack of learning by reading a lecture in economics, designed to show the ultima e usele ,mess of strikes. E. C. Colville, the next speaker. c·riticized the statement that strikes could prevent war and wa alarmed at the thought of what harm police ·trikes could do. He gave place to G. H. Tharme, who sarcas ic lly declared that the previous ·peaker but one had given the Society the benefit of his un­rivalled power of rndene.s, a sketchy knowledge of economics and a complete lack of philosophic under»tanding. The present harm of strike was counter balanced by their future good. Growing pa� ionate. he declared that workers had to sell th ir bodic: to capitalist. for miser­able wages and that by l'O·Operatiou they could prevent \Var-but only, he shouted, if they remembered the command of :.rarx-" WORKER. OF THF. WORLD, U�lTE." The quiet tones of D. Ellwand came as a contrast to the hectoring bluster of the last speaker. Many strikes, particular] • those which are ordered by the Trade nions. aim al doing good·-and succeed. uch strikes. then. are neither harmful nor ineffectual. In order more clearh to demonstrate thi argument. he quoted an e.·ample of a girl at Liver­pool

_. the reason for whose dismissal had been wrongfully stated as in­

·ffic1ency. After a strike the true reason was given and the girl thtL'> l!llabled to gain new employment. Tl1e time for public debate having elapsed. the Chairman called upon H: Hoddes to reply for the oppo ition and E. 'torey for the proposition. Both speakers repeated and e.·panded pr ·vious ari;:uments, and the motion, upon being put to the vote was defeated bv 13 Yote to 14. The M eting then adjourned.

I T�e Minute of the previous lceting were read, and after minora tcrat1�ns had be n made, tho.:y were :-igned. b S. amuels arose to propose the ejection of member of Fifth Forms,ut as none were prc:sent, this proved impossible.

The attention of members was then drawn lo the Officers of theSociety, who e health was proposed by.\. Carr. Fortnnately, no startling

di.clo·ures, beloved by the sho k troops of journalism, were made. E. .

E. torey confessed to a t'Onsiderable amount of trepidation, butnevertheless thoroughly interested his hearer:; when propo ing the toast of " The taff." He had found, he said, that the inmates of the, taff room were harmless enough and ·o had great pleasure in proposing theircontinued good health. 2.fr. :Hoare responded. It was, he said, a difficult job rising underboquets of roses, especially when the thorns were detected. He wasabout to s rike a jarring note-he was going to be extremely serious .• ·everhteless, the Society had uo difficulty in listening to the speech, and were told a secret, which, if diYulged will cause dire consequences.":uany of the Stafi are frightened of you-you know too much of toomuch."

)[r. T. W. 'lade, because he had felt it, thought he was peculiarly.uited to propose the ht·alth of the School. He gave good advice O all and praised the numerous old institutions. H. Hargreaves replying, thanked the proposer for all his excellenttips, but doubted his own ability to deal with the taff and Prefects inthe manner suggested. The last toast of the evening, to the Chairman, was proposed b,,T. Hawthorn, who dwelt on the many sided character of that }Ii. Pickwick of modern times. The toast was dmnk amidst acclamation.

Mr. E. W. Hicks in reply, said he enjoyed the Society's meetings, where he always obtained first class entertainment. He attributed thesuccess of this, the premier society of the School, to the constitution to which it stuck so religiously. At the end of this speech the memberssang " For he's a jolly good fellow," and the meeting broke up.

La t year, in spite of the appeal I made in my reports, the numbers fell away just the same. However, I will now ask the newcomer to our Club to " keep it up " and set an example to those who have fallen by the wayside.

In a Yery short time yon will realise that you get full value for your money, both from the ducational and social ·tand· point . and I am certain you will appr ·ciate that what the Club can do for you is something "hich \Yill hdp you when you have lef "'chool and taken your place in the commercial world.

HE i\Iersey i · he redemption of Liverpool." Often dowe hear vi itors from the South give this opinion, after

. they have discoursed long on the failing of Liverpool'sarchitecture as the wor ·t product of the Indu trial Revolution, and the failings of the transport facilities and the poorness of the cosmopolitan stock that makes up the people of the city. Ho,, often, _too, do these visitor.----€ pecially those from inland­gaze w1t� admiration on t he splendour of Lfrerpool's long line of dock , with the Overhead Railway, and the ships about to sail forth to all part· of the world. It i- almost a commonplace to say that a Liverpolitan must learn from an out ider how to appreciate the beautie · of the l\Ier ·ev. But i thi river of our· a beautiful and romantic a· our frlends from elsewhere would have us believe ?

I wa walking through the dock· and dock roads the other day. The place wa · almo:,.i: empty, for it wa evening. The sea wa.- . urging at the gate· of the dock ; the cap tans andtower were smoke-blackened and deserted · a solitary tug he d · ' · f ave '\\o,th the swell, thin blue fumes escaping from the solitaryhuunel ; �he roadway was cobbled and empty ; lx!hind the Ov r-be�

ld _Rat!way, of black pillars and girders, sprawled aero· the

ui ding on the dock road.

li2

Outside the docks I "alkl·d on cobbl.ed str ets, mpty anddark; I met tall war>hou:es of ugly bnck and uglier de ign and the smell of dead fi.:;h and s;oap. I tunwd up the hill toward� the centre of the city, passiug nondescript loungers of many nationalities, shop fronts of mean appearance, companies of ·treet-urchins, rushing and :houtiug, and a :olitary policemantrolling "''ith an almo ·t bashful air, seemingly heedle of thehead looking round comers to mark hi· approach.

Thi i Liverpool' dock·ide. �ot that it i devoid of beautyThere i beauty in a vivid sunset, of red aud orange, seen overthe river, where countless lights fade and :shine, from the light­ship and buoy preading away a. far a. the Bar . There ibeauty in the ferry-boats, as they glid • aero ·s the rfrer, and theeagulls around them. But often, the beauty of the docb i·

that of a dead city, of a seaport that has passed its prime.A peke, there is a different outlook on the )Iersey, ,rhich

anticipates the future, rather than remembers the past. Fromgreen fields and roads which still seem rural one can gaze downon the river, which one day may be a base for flying-boat , onecan gaze on the airport and the n w control tower, and thecontinual arrival of 'plan s. New factories are under con­struction all over the country ide and new white roads are beingcut through the fields, road which ar • to form part of the newhousing estate. Here is a different outlook. The time maycome when peke may seem as desolat and forsaken a hedocks, but at pre ent we have the two contragted outlooks-theold and the new. - .,.ot that our vi itors are at all impre -eel bythe Kew. For them the River remains tht. "redemption ofLiverpool," and they will continue to criticis e,·erything else,even dO\vn to the humble nameplates that decorate str ·et comers.

The Elizabethan audiences wanted melodrama, but they flocked to :,ee Hamlet. Th cinema audience· of to-day want " thriller.," but they will take Love From a . ·,ranger as eagerly (and un­critically) a - they take Love Letters of a tar. Indeed,. thi ·principle might be dl·duced from the nature of he audience itself. Go to any theatre, look about you during the interval,:;, and the more you will realize that the audience is a human ham-sandwich. Now a proper ham-sand"·ich is made by put­tin� a generous cut of ham between two slices of bread. with a little water-cress on the topmo ·t ·lice. , with the theatr>­audience.

You can tell these by the fact that they occupy the cheapest seats. The mea of the audience-the ham-i · comprised of decent, re. pee able bodies, who "do loYe a good play." For them the :pectacle is the thinO'. The only difference between the theatre audience and the cinema audience is that the boiled shirt· are not seen-except at premiere in London.

THE grievou - falling off in numbers of the .�chool Branch thisyear is capable of a simple xplanation. The management of the pani h war by the Powers has seemed to many

mer�lr to be another proof of the impotence of the League. The mahc1ous have been indulging in another bout of " I told you so's." . uch an attitude, found perhaps at home, certainly in one ection of the Pre s, is bound to affect the chool. �obodr wants to fling away si ·pence or a shilling.

But, setting aside all considerations of the weakness or power of the League, there are many reason:; why senior membersof the School should join the Br:mc:ll. In a democratically governed country, every adult ha to play some part in the

If you take th troubl . to ·xamine, the l ist of talk and debatesheld under the ausptc<. of the chool Branch during the las few years, you vvill find that many deal with subjects only distant ly connected with the more prollllnent objects of the League.

My cousin �s never ti�ed of talking. He v,,jll hold forth on

any sub1ect, and his tale of personal experience , thoughusually taken with a pinch of salt, are not easily dis­

proved. On one particular evening, the four of us were talking of

uperstition. The light was fading, the dying fire cast monstrous hadow· all around, and we felt that a yarn was called for. .,.or

were we disappointed, for my cousin, who had been defending uperstition, had seized the opportunity.

. "It was in 1933," he wa saying, "in August. I wa ·tay­mg, at the time, in a small Devon fishing village called Looe. I had barely been there a week, when I received a letter asking me to go at once to the next village and put up at the ' Red Herring: where I would learn something of importance.

smiling complacently. For a while no one spoke, and I thought how like a mug P kinese my cou in ,va , ash sat there with JJ..i· beatific mile. At last I ·poke.

Two Field Days were held at Lathem Park during the term. On the second a sleeping shelter was made out of 'cout :tavcs and bracken, and it proved to be almost waterproof, but pro­babh- rather unpleasant to sleep in. Before going home we bath�d in the lake.

At the beginning of the term the Swift Patrol had a week­end camp at Childwall Woods in preparation for the Behn Colour· Comp�tition.

JAMBOREE.

Du.ring the fir·t fortnight in August, four members of the , hool Scout Troop took part in the World Jamboree in Holland. One hundred and si>..-teen ·couts went from Liverpool, part of the ,000 from the British Empire, which was repre ented in the Liverpool camp by four �coutmasters from Trinidad.

\Ve left Liverpool at 11 p. m. on Thursday, July 29th, in a train nlll specially for scout . During the night we picked up partie of scouts from all over the rorth of England. We reached Harn.i.ch at 7 a.m. and went on board the Pri11se$ Juliana and had breakfast. The cm ing was quite good and we landed at the Hook of Holland at 4-30 p.m. An electric train took us to the ·pecial Jamboree station and all along the route we were cheered by the Dutch folk in fields, villages and town .

The camp wa on a large e tate, Yogelensang, of about 900 acre·, just behind the ·and dunes of tht.. west coa t of Holland. There were abou 27,000 ·cout from all part· of the world at the Jamboree. The camp wa:s divided in o nine sub-camp , each containing. cout. from everal different countrie , including British and Dutch. The Liv rpool camp was in ub-camp 5 with scout from Czecho ·Iovakia, ,'weden ... .,.orn·ay, Greece and Holland, be.ide Engli.·h ·cout · fr nn .. orthumberland, Durham and \Yiltshir .

Throughout th following week vi ·itors were admit ed to the camp after noon and they greatly outnumbered the scout each day. There wcrl' many attraction in the camp, the chief b2ing he market where ther · \�- re ·hops run by cout· of many countries, a Bank, a Po t Office and a cafe. The number of lanauage · heard in the market wa. a toni hing, but the com­mone. t were Dutch and Engli ·h, and nearly everybod, could peak some English. Thue were di play given by different countrie · in the arena every afternoon and also turn in the theatre, at ,...-hich ther, were fi\'e performances daily.

During the w k we were glad to e cape from the heat of the camp occasionally to go to the . wimming bath at Haarlem, the neare·t town, or to bathe in the ea at Zandvoort, a few miles from camp.

There were several large camp fires held in the and dW1e ·, about half an hour's walk from our end of the camp. The public were admitted to all but the la t of these, and there were about 30,000 people at them.

On Monday, Augu t 9th, the Jamboree was officially closed by Lord Baden Powell, aft r a march past of all the scouts. In the evening wa · the final camp-fire for scout only, at which turn· were given by most countrie· repre·ented in the camp.

The latter wa · more enjoyable as we were not with a large party. The Thurs­day wa spent in packing, a we had to leave at 7 a.m. on Friday morning.

OF all animals on the earth' surface, the most remarkable _is

known as tht- ' Gentleman.' Though somewhat simil�r inappearance to the Common Man, his habits vastly differ.

According to all the best authorities, ther are only two known

regions where the Gentleman can thrive : one is England, theother India, and experts differ considerably about the cause forthi strange state of affairs. To explain why two tribes of the

PUKKA )IY'fH. · I I

species should live so many thou ·ands of miles apart, the followingexplana ion ha been put forward.

Once upon a time th re was a Gen leman-let us call him Horace-who lived with his wife and family in a cave in .:urrey.Though the amenities of life were not what one might have ex­pected from a Gen�! man, undoubtedly he was one of that species, because he kept hired servant:, and also because he wore round hi. neck a garland, or necklace, as it were, of green and yellow ·bell, which, a you probably know, wa worn only by membersof the exclu ively Dragon hunting society, which bore the nameof In n.:pid • 'oblc Dragon-_laying Association (or L ·.n. forhort) and which hunted dragon: at certain appointed seasons in

the barbaric regions of Walt:s-a dangerou proceeding un­doubtedly, which invohed a higher death rate than any professionthen known, with the possible exception of holding admini tra­tive office, there being a great number of rogues near at hand tocause a man ·0rious bodily harm, if he pur ued a policy contrary totheir interest . Horace had inherited a con iderable sum fromhis father, who had uccessfully ousted all competition from thesandal manufacturing trade, through the simple method of hiringassa ins to curb the youthful vigour of likely rivals. Yet forall hi prosperity Horace wa not ati fied with life. He felt thatone day he and hi fellows would degenerate into mere men, incehe lived in close proximity to whole hordes of )!en, without anyign of exclu ·iveness-beyond the fact that he did not have to

work for hi· living : thi wa nothing new however-in tho e day·Woman did all the work while Man conversed at the publicassembly on the Trout Question-and also the fact that he worehi· dragon neckJace, which was again not very advantageou •because in winter it wa quite obscured by the fur which he foundmade hi· shoulder· much warmer, and because in ummer­di graceful proceeding to relate-all the women descended on astore in the village, where a low craftsman-by name, Woolworth,wa wont to manufacture cheap trinket , and emerged bedeckedwith necklace so similar to his that the difference wa · negligible.

" Priscilla " ! said he to his wife one morning, " omething must be done, or our race will die out forever. We mu t move our dwelling far from the habitations of Man."

. "Yes, dear" said his wife. ".But your plan ha· two ob­Je�tions. If we go away from Man, they will soon forget u andWtli lose all re·pect for our race. Secondly, even if we are pre-

J 2

pared to ake that ri ·k. ther • are the �errnnts to think of, and nomatter where one w nt, w would still be in their company."

Horace bowed some �ign of a1;1noyance .. but a graceful ign,for he remained a Gentleman even m adver·1ty, and said: "Oh why were we condemned to be forever burdened with servant "?

But then hi mind engender d a plan. "Wha eyer objections there are to my ·uggestion," he said,

" ,;ye mu t depart hence. Priscilla, let u · go to a new countn· and find new dwelling there ! "

"To France, dear? " a ·ked hi· wif , ".L Tay, not o France. " 'Ti said the Men there eat frogs and ·windle themselve ."

" .,.o, not to France. Let u · di cover new lands beyond the eas."

" But, dear, you know how prone you are to sea-sickne ." "We mu t suffer for the cause, Priscilla." And so it came about. Horace, hi wife, and his family

embarked on a large sailing ve sel, in ompany with several other noble families, who had come to the same decision. Rather than pollute the hip with the pre cence of Men, the Gentlemen had been tudying the art of navigation for ome moo hs before­hand; but it wa not in vain, for on the day of departure thousands of _ fen gathered to watch, and Horace was presented with a humble addre bv the hief Con table, who had by feat of arm ousted the Mayo;, the Judge , and all the Town Council from all hare in admini tration, being by profes ion an all-in wre·tler. Off went the intrepid adventurers and sailed into the depth of the horizon, beyond the ken of )lan, into he Blue Unknown. By and by, after much hard hip-for thrice the ve el wa holed amid hips, and thrict: the doughty Gentlemen gathered ogether and encouraged by the words of Horace. to remember the raditions of the Intrepid oble Dragon-slaymg Association (or I.N.D. for short), stemm d the flow, and after much suffering on the part of Horace, who could ·carcely eat even a morsel, but notwithstanding remained true to the cause, they landed on the shore· of a strange land where all the men were de ply bronzed, even unto blackness.

" Lo ! " said Horace. " Here we have security. For even if we do succumb to the habits of �Ian, at least we shaJl be dis­tinctive in colour. For they are black and we are white."

I LEA\ 'E the ba h cl ·am:r than when I entered it. Tot onlydo I cleanse my mrn p(·rson, but I am forced, in the process, to remove the :superfoetations of grime which form, a· it were,

a tidal-mark around the white sides of the bath it lf. Reflections ·uch as the:,.� prompted me, the other evening,

to con ·ider and a ·ses. the attitude of the Briti h Public to the bathroom which it occasionalh· u ·e.. .-Uthough an arden upporter of all that i. British (an"d entirely convinced that •here

i life in the old country yet), I wa reluctantly compelled to agree with the words of a clistingu.i hed American, )Ir. W. H. Page :-" The Engli ·h do not really like bathroom·; they much prefer a zinc tub in their own rooms."

The American Ambassador was writing, you will r 'member, in l!H3, and in thi · r ·pect at least, the Enali h ha-ve made but little progress in the vear: that have elapsed be ·een the date of hi letter and mv · e ·say. The ·ound doctrine of hi word: may be proved if "': con�ider fir ·t the bathroom and tha being done, the manner in "·hich it i. used.

The majority of bath� are worthy illu.tration.: of the innatpiety of the British people. They are wider at the back th�n at the foot, and rnu l."annot enter them without feeling that lil

ar guilty of a grave pi ce of illogicality. 1'1wy con.ider the. piou · man who hep· a :kull upon his mant l·pi ce to put him in r membrance of death as a foolish f ·llow, full of -;uper-ti ion and yet they themseh·e · tum what ought to be a preparator\:devotion to the god: of life into an act of homage to he ghoui· of death.

.·\.nother inconvenience which results from he type of bath which I have de. cribed is that you can scarcely move at all once you are in it. If you try to, your bruise your elbow· again t the ·ides and your toe again:t th tap . And the big toe of a man is a very vulnerable spot. \gain it need· but a slight movemen to end the wa er in great cascade , over the top on to the floor. Whil t this cause: no great inconvenience to the occupant of the bath, it does to those who have to clean the bathroom, and i therefore be .. t not done.

I will be objected that the bath which I ha,·e been des. cribing belong to the days when the bath was enclosed in a casing of wood, painted an arthy brown, when the victim could lie back and see the melanchoh- gey·er shrouded in steam ; when the moi ture coagulated in globules like a giant' tear· drops on the ickly green wall· ; and when the plaster peeled off the ceiling in strip , and fell, -triking you on the head or le·· tough portions of the anatomy. _ row, (the un. een interjector will proceed) bathroom are pleasantly decorated in white, and are mo t hygienic. That is preci ·ely the point. The English· man is a confirmed barbarian. H does not love his bath for the pleasure he can obtain from it ; nor for the pleasant tate of mind that re ult from a civilized bathing. He only baths fre· quently becau.:e he ha. been told that unless he doe -o, he will probably fall an ea y prey to the germs which infest hi· body. Consequently he now give hi: ba broom the appearance of an operating theatre.

Furthermore-and here i the .final degradation-the Engli hman's bathroom is usuallv the smallest room in hi_ house. You cannot stretch � much as �n arm's span between the wall· For this reason I very much doubt whether the Government' well-intentioned " Keep Fit " scheme has any grea chance ?f ucces� .. It is in the bath room if any,vhere that we appear lll

that mm1mum of clothing so essential to an adequate performanceof ph�· ica� jerk ; but, as I have pointed out, archit:cturalneces tty bid· us nay. It is for this reason that the Engltshman

< .• B.\THROO:\I.'. 1 .;

urges us to sing in_ our_ bath:. _Only the lung:; ma: be exerci din he bathroom ,Y1th httle Iikchhoocl of their becoming <lama"e Iin the proce:s.

'fo; th1; Engli ·h bathroom i'i decidedly an infE:ri0r produc , Jet u. nO\v see \\'hat a bathroom should be like.

In the fi.r,;;t plac , it hould b:! divided, like Cae ·ar' Gani, into hre · parts or portions. Fir tly there .:hould b� a closed in shower ; next a stmk bath " broad and spaciou · a the ea," and finally another shower. ..:\ clear ·pac.: should b ldt snme­where for the adequate p�rform'lnce of the morning gymaa tic Xor, of cour.:e, should a wa ·IJ-bowl and :having-mirror be for­aotten. There should be central heating so that the floor j­alway,; warm o the bare foot (shade of Engli:-h-linoleum) ; owels should hang around the room on special owel-warmer ;

and a larg, mirror should b.:- fitted, ha,·ing behind it an electric­heater which will cause the glass alway to be a trifl,, ho ter than the temp0ratur of th· room, thus preventing the mirror from being obscured by a film of steam. Finally, a picture, or bettt:r a . tatue in an alcove, to remind one of life, should br- installed. For this pmposc a Yenu: can be recommended, c·uch as that by Canora, ,,,.hich \Ya· pla ·ed in the bathroom buil by _ Tapoleon for :'lfarie Louise in the Palazzo Pitti. , 'mall cabine s .:honld be built into the wall to contain such things a,:; bath-salt·. talcum powMr and ·having tackle.

The proCl'S · of bathing, then, will b somewhat a. follow-:. Fir 't, the physical jerks will be done in the clear space at your di po�al ; then you may perform the rite_ of shaving a ,he �mall wash ba:in ; thi.- b�ing done he fir t shmY r is u · <l, solely for the purpose of cleansing. You are now re2.dy f r th main bath. You d · c nd into warm, delicately perfumed water, and ba ·kin it, for a quarter of an hour, perhap_ moking a cigar­ette-one firm of ci<>-aPtte manufacturer._ pMduc.: a cigar tte rolled in water-proof pap�r. Finally you take the : cond hower, which should be cold, and preferably impregnated ,dth

Eau-de-Cologne. ·when dried bY means of the heated owel", you are well and truh· resnscita."ted for the ardours of another day.

I am convinced that, if we mac.le a habit of bathing thus, then Jack is_ strip�"'d naked for his bath_. he could conkmplateife and not <11:solution, but I am also connnced that not for manyYear, will the English be conyertcd. Perhaps th.is i · forttU1a e.

Two records were broken, by Thornley, F. A., who improved on hi own time in the open mil , and by Eagle, P. C., in the High Jump (under 13!); and, although the track wa very wet, the general tandard of the , 'ports was higher than Ja t year. Thi improvement can be traced directly back to an increase in the number of boy who trained. For many years now, port Captain have been urging entrants to practise as much as possible beforehand. This year has . hmvn that their advice ha not fallen on deaf ear·, and also, we hope, has proved to com­petitors that only practice can make perfect.

I proceeded with kit and cycle to my friend'· hou ·e in Carter treet, where I arrived IO a.m. as arranged. Thence we travelled

via Berry treet to the Tunnel (Queen way) where a �barge of 3d. was made. Though weighed down by a mountam of re-trictions, we climbed the long a cent and emerged �rom. the

roaring bowels of the earth into Birkenhead. Although infinitelyquicker than the ferry, where much time is lost in waiting, Que�s­way is far from soothing to the nerves, even when v ry h.ttletraffic is using it. I dare not imagine it· state on a busy evcm�g.

THE School cricket team ha. bad a fairly succe ·sful season ;out of 16 matches played, 7 have been won, 4 lo. t, and5 have been drawn. In the four drawn matchc · _heSchool wa only robbed of victory becau ·c of time ; the. bemgagainst Alsop, Holt and Quarry Bank in the firs� thre game·of the season, and versus l\Ierchant Taylors' lat r m the sea· n.The . hool batting has be('n of a good tan_dard, � m�ch .�;that in many matches \V • ha\' declarl'd ,n bout the tail �avi_n?. an inning·.

for .6 runs apiece ; hi· bowlin_g was :-;o stt'.'auy, that if he was notgetting wickets, he was �ecpmg the runs down. :Mellors also bowl d well tn take 40 mck ts, but he has a tendency to swing the ball too often to l g. Holden and Garton too haYe played _ome good inning- and ha.,·� bowled well on occa ·ion . \'ickers later in the _easou bowl d well with hi· u. ual fa:t-pace deliveries and will be a power in the .'chool attack if he i · at School next .. ea-on. The School team wa!> very tuifortunate to mi • the ·ervice of Garton later in the :ea. on ; he wa. injured in a housematch.

The fielding ha: been quite good at times, but this mot nece_ ary part of our game ha - been our weakest point, there have been more games lost by bad fielding than anything else. Beside the lapse in the field with catches, many of the team have not got the " knack" of combining their own judgment of running for the ball and throwing-in which help to cut off those extra single which so often help to put up unnecessary score against u . Robert on has shown us that he has a pair of very afe hands. Unfortunately with the nets at Greenbank in their

new po itions, there has not been enough room to practice much fielding, while form games ,ver on, and little practice in fielding was shared by members of the team.

The eleven should be grateful to Wa:s and Ed"'·in for the excellent wickets they prepare m; antl also for their excellent coaching.

Lastly, but by no means least, we mu ·t thank }Ir. . \'. Brown for all the work he has done to manage the arrangements of School cricket this season, and also to 1Ir. Pincher and Ir.Bowen who, toge her with .Mr. �- ,·. Bmwn, have helped to give us very valuable advice at the n<:ts.

Thank are al:o due to every member of the 'taff who has umpired or looked after a . chool, House, or Form game this . eason. P. U. RUMJAHN.

For this gatuc Rumjalu1, E. J., replaced Richards behind the tlunps. School again won tbe toss nnd batted fir t. There was a bad st�t. the wicket being dom1 for i runs, but the run� came slo.wly later. Stewart began very shakily and was dropped behind the w1ck�t on the four� ball he received. :coring a t first was ,ery slow and 1t was not 1mtil after tea that Stewart and Robertson took severe measure with the Holt attack and hit it all o,·er the ground, adding a quick 40 run· before the innings was dosed. Stewart batted very well for his 4,.

Martin and :Mellors opened the School bowling and ·oon ,got thr e wickets for the total of 4 nm . Th · Holt batsmen then made a stubborn 'tand and it wa some time before our bowlers broke it. The Holt adopted the same time-wasting tactics a Al�p did in our pr�vious match, by staying at the wicket and not attemptmg to ·core. The chool bowlers were changed frequently to di lodge these ba men, but only 1lellor · and )lartiu could claim thi:: wickets. Another quarter of an hour probably w ould have been necessary to get the remaining two wicket for victory, but the result was a di;;..-ippointi.ng draw.

11ith the. core at thirty . .fi,· ·• by a smart ·tip catch by )[ayhew off )Iartin. The . hool fielding showed we were suffering from " exam-itis " or lack of practice and many run were given away. J. "-organ and Cohrn ·howed the &IIool how to play fordng cricket, aud they also took full ad,·autage of the bad fielding, by putting on 40 runs for the fourth wicket. At J02, Coh ·n was fourth out after completing his fifty and "'or�an was joillcd by Barlow who soon opened his shoulders for a quick :35 runs. Various changes in the Sl'110ol bowling failed to break these stubborn stands of the Old Boys. )Iarti.J1 returned the best bowling analysis, hi-. 2 wicket· costing only 33 runs. The J,iobiaus declared their innings at 207 for 7 wickets, and School were left two hours and a quarter to get tbe run·. School lost Holden with on}\, two runs on the board-not a ,·en· promising start. All thl' :,,chool ·batsmen, except three, failed to reach double figures, and were tumbled out for a meagre 1 runs by the bowling of Barlow, Robinson, Goldblatt, and Worgan. the last two having good figures, 4 for 14 and 4 for 6 re pectively.

Mu ·ic at the 'port· wa. an inspiration ; the mu ic played at the port was an inftiction. In principle, nothing could hav� been better calculated to . mooth over the awkward gap· and hesitation which are bound to occur in the programme, and­if I may be forgiven the oxymoron-to drown that deathly hush which mark. au expectant crowd-in fact, t� give th� aftei:noon a wing; in practic.:: we certainly were give°: . wmg_ with a capital , that afternoon. That i why I am wn mg tlu le ter.

I am, • ir, no extremi ·t with regard to mu ·ic ; I nei0er admire Beethoven so exclusively a· to com George Ger hwm, nor am I so iotoxica ed with tlie Rhap ody in Blue that I plug my ears with cotton-wool when I hear the Emperor Concalo.When, therefore, I deprccat the type of mu ic J?layed at the : ports, I am not doing so out of mere unreasoned intolerance of Jazz. What I do object to strongly i · that at on� o� the mo�t unportant annual occasion. of a School with the dignified tradi­tion� of the In titute, music was played which nev�r ro e a?oYe the _Jolly and often descended to the vulgar.. Jazz �s e_: enhaJly undign16.ed ; not that the mer1: fact of bemg undigmfied c?n­dernns it-there are time-; wh ·n it i good to re�ax and enJ?Y all the atmospheres which jazz can create-the mld: t�e comic, and the sentimental; all I sa\' is that type of 1mnc 1 totallyunfitted to that type of occasion.

Hea\·ier music I \\"ould l'qually deplore; anything of h deep or em tional �ort \\"Ould, if po. sib�e, be_ more out of plac:than jazz. If I nught mak · a suggestiou, light mu ·ic j mo .. fitted to a 1 occa ·ion which though important, is a fe tive one By light nucic I mean the d1et.•rful piece:-. which nearly all corn'.p :-:er, h::n·e produced, ancient a· well a: modern; be·t-knowu�-·ample .. lJerhap:-, are . 'trau. s': Blue Da1111be TV altz, Ros ini'.·William Tdl elections, and •xtracts from the lighter opera.Digni y and fe. tivity might thereby be reconciled and theexcellence of the idea would not bi.: spoih:d by the abu. e of it.

DEAR .'rn, Duri:1g the las School year, there was a fair amount of

discu ,icn, among the 8ixth form: at lc:ast, abou the right. and \\'rongs of being fore <l to wear a distinctive 'chool uniform. The Clas,ical :ixth form happ 'ned to di ·cuss the que·tion with a certain member of the • 'taff who pointed out, in the cour e of argument, that no matter how well-dre..; ·ed ach individual �Y might Ix>, reYiew ,(! a· a whole, a school in which no official uniform "·as worn, looked e. ·tremely untidy.

... -ow tl is argument is apparently drawn from analogy �­tween a :chool and regiment of soldiers. In practice, however, the analogy break· clown ; for there is a slight difference be�ween a regiment in uniform and !-Chno1 in uniform. In the regiment both officer: and men w�ar uniform, in a :chool only the boys. If we are going o be logical sureh· the • 'taff :hould be com· pelled to \\'ear some di tincti�,e clothing a, "·ell as those th�)' teach. B\- wa \" of conclusion �ir I n i:,;h to point out that th!· . . ' ,
