B E H O L D US then in the promised land at Corio. We took leave of the old buildings on Wednesday, the 17th of Dec-, ember. There was a farewell service at Christ Church in the afternoon just before the distribution of prizes, and then the School slipped • silently and unceremoniously away to the railway station, and the old place was left in solitude.

It was pathetic to think we should know it no more, and that young voices would never again re-echo in the deserted Quad. But youth has little time for sentiment of

this sort, especially with the long holidays in view. Everywhere were piled heaps of boxes and packing cases, containing the books and pictures and personal effects of the boys, labelled fantastically with names, and sometimes with nick-names, waiting to be conveyed to Corio.

It was with a good deal of eager expectation and suppressed excitement that the School gathered after the holidays on the new platform at Corio (the railway department have built a new station for us), where a board stands conspicuous with the legend " Geelong Grammar School."

On arriving at the school, where the boys at once reported themselves at their respective Houses, it was found that the School had considerably increased in numbers (more than 60 new boys were enrolled). The buildings were found wonderfully complete, and there was little, if anything, missing that was required for our comfort. Perhaps the greatest disappointment to the authorities was the nonarrival of the new school desks, which were on their way from America. However the old desks were brought into temporary use, and as the belated " Henrik Ibsen" has since arrived, the missing desks will be in position after the May holidays.

The next difficulty was, where was the School to meet for Assembly and for Chapel service. The new chapel is being built and will be ready in July, and the BracebridgeWilson Hall, which has been brought from Geelong in sections (pretty large sections) on j inkers drawn by a powerful traction engine had not then arrived. It was finally decided to use the large entrance hall of the school for assembly and it has answered very well. On Sunday it is fitted with seats and is used as a chapel (the two staircases serve as galleries and accommodate a large number of the smaller boys). Bracebridge-Wilson Hall is now in course of re-erection behind the cloisters (immediately at the back of the space reserved for the big school room) and will be ready for occupation in the second term.

In the meantime as the boys have no places for their rifles these have not been issued, and the cadets are drilled on the cricket ground in front of the school, while the small boys do their gymnastics in the cloisters.

The electric installation at the school is a great success.

For the first fortnight of term the accumulators were not

charged, so as we got our light direct from the dynamo, and as. the engineer had to go to bed, lights went out every night at ten o'clock. This curfew did not affect the boys, who were in bed, but was inconvenient for others. However the lighting arrangements are now perfect.

The water supply is excellent. If there is a fault, it has been found to be that the pressure is too strong, while the septic tank and sewerage arrangements could not be better.

The sea baths have been voted, after experience, a great success. At high tide they are too deep for the little fellows who have not yet learnt to swim, but a small enclosure has since been added in shallower water to provide for them.

More than fifty boys have passed the swimming test this term (a record) so that the " minnow bath " was soon left almost untenanted.

The boys have found the close proximity of the sea a great advantage. In hot weather a swim after games is a luxury greatly appreciated.

Early in the term most of the boats from the old sheds were brought across the bay and installed in the new boat sheds; as well as the new ones ordered from Melbourne; and since. Easter there has been a great deal of rowing..

There is a*, excellent course more than a mile long, and our first school regatta (just concluded) was rowed under splendid conditions.

The school motor launch, which has been named " The Avalon," is also a great success. It does 10 knots easily, and besides is an excellent sea boat, and most comfortable to. travel in. It arrives quite punctually every morning just before chapel bell, at 9.10, bringing about 40 day boys.

- This contingent we call " Geelong House," and it takes its part in Inter-House matches. Afternoon school has been arranged from 1.30 to 3.30, and this gives the day boys time to join in school games before the Avalon" takes them home again. On Sunday mornings about 25 boys go into Geelong in the motor launch to attend Presbyterian servicesAll this term the weather has been unusually dry, but in spite of this, the playing fields look very well. Of course it takes a year or two for a cricket pitch to consolidate, but with plenty of top-dressing and rolling we should soon have good wickets. The main cricket field was left to fallow, in order to secure a clean seed bed. It has been carefully levelled and laid down with couch-grass. It should be ready for

4

THE CORtAN

May' 14

use next November. Altogether we shall have about 30 acres of playing grounds in turf, and next season the school will have ample accommodation for its increased numbers.

Four tennis courts have been laid down, and two excellent fives courts, as well as a large court for racquets. These courts will be useful in the rowing seasons to employ the boys and fill up the idle intervals.

The new school with its different surroundings of course must modify some of our old habits. Saturday parties are made up as of old, and parties continue to go to the Lakes and the Willows, to Batesford and Moorabool, to Pacey's and Gillies. The You Yangs is perhaps from its close vicinity more visited than it used to be, and when spring comes round, no doubt, visits to the Anakies, or in that direction will be frequent. On the other hand, with our splendid playing fields and our sea baths, we have improved means of employing the boys at home on Saturday during the summer. On most Saturdays in the cricket season three or four matches were played. With our wider fields we are able to arrange matches for the juniors, and visiting teams from Melbourne and other places seem to enjoy their visit to the sea.

As shopping in Geelong is no longer possible for the boys, facilities had to be given to them here. An excellent Cale (school tuck-shop) has been provided, and is apparently much appreciated—if it is possible to judge by the swelling receipts; besides this, school caps and ties, and other articles in common request are kept in stock by the matrons in the different houses, so that our distance from the shops is not so inconvenient as might be supposed.

The Corio Shire have just completed an excellent metal road to the railway station, and the school keeps a conveyance for the convenience of parents and visitors, Although some distance from the town, we are by no means without visitors, especially at the week-end, when quite a number of yachts rendezvous here and make the lagoon often quite a gay scene.

Of course the change from our old to our new surroundings is very striking. There we were in the town. Here we are in the country. There we were cramped and confined in a much too narrow space. Here everything is wide and spacious. We appreciate immensely all the advantages of our improved situation. No more stuffy dormitories and

May 'U

class-rooms. Everywhere we revel in abundance of light and air. It is a significant fact that the appetite of the school which was generally pretty elastic is pronounced by those who have to feed it something quite phenomenal.

We must not forget Captain and Mrs. Percy Chirnside's gift, a splendid electric impulse-clock and a bell for the tower. These have been set up during the term and have proved invaluable in this place of magnificent distances.

One difficulty remains to be overcome and that is about the Rifle Range. It has been approved by the Defence and Lands Departments, but the Harbour Trust authorities are making difficulties, which we hope very shortly may be overcome.

It is wonderful how easily in our migration we have adapted ourselves to our new surroundings. Everything considered, things have moved along very smoothly. Difficulties have soon vanished, and defects have been remedied as soon as they appeared. Even the Laundry which at first was our bete noire is now behaving quite respectably.

The work accomplished has been enormous and we owe a lasting debt of gratitude to our benefactors for all that has been done for the School's comfort and future happiness.

There are two ways in which it occurs to the present writer our gratitude might be shown. One of these is to erect in the School Chapel a copy of the well known brass which hangs in Christ Church in memory of the late Mr. Bracebridge Wilson. The other is to have an oil painting of Mr. W. T. Manifold, to whom we owe so much, hung in the School Hall (a replica or photograph copy might also be placed in Manifold House).

Much has been done for the School, and in this way the School might at least show *ts gratitude to two of its chief benefactors.

The surroundings of the School have changed, but the old School and the new School are one. The old School lives on with the same old spirit and traditions in its new surroundings— .unam faciemus. utramque Troiam anbnis. Maneat nostras ea cura nepotes.

School BotesT H E S C H O O L re-assembled after the Christmas holidays in the new buildings at Corio, on Tuesday, the 10th of February.

T h e School Magazine appears in this number under a new title " T h e Corian." The adoption of the three-term system last year involving a triennial instead of a quarterly publication rendered some change inevitable.

It was resolved, however, to retain the old name as long as we remained in our old quarters. Now that we are established on Corio Bay, we have adopted a name appropriate to our new surroundings.

The School will break up for the May vacation on Thursday afternoon, the 14th May, and return on Tuesday, 2nd June.

Speech Day was held in the Bracebridge-Wilson Hall, (Geelong) on Wednesday, the 17th December.

In the absence of the chairman, Mr. W . T. Manifold, the Hon. D. Mackinnon, M.L.A. presided. Prizes were distributed by the Most Rev. H . Lowther Clarke, Archbishop of Melbourne ; and the athletic prizes by Mrs. H . P . Douglass.

The Head Master's prize to the Senior Prefect was awarded to G. K. Burston.

The Head of the River Race was rowed on the Henley course, on Friday and Saturday, the 8th and 9th of May. In the preliminary heats, rowed on Friday, Scotch College beat Melbourne Grammar School; Geelong Grammar School beat Wesley ; and Geelong College beat Xavier.

In the final heat rowed on Saturday, Geelong Grammar School beat Scotch by a length and a quarter, and Geelong College were half a length behind Scotch.

At the conclusion of the race the Fairbairn Challenge Cup was handed by Mrs. C. Fairbairn to J. Webster, stroke of the School eight.

W e desire on behalf of the School to congratulate Webster and the crew on their fine performance in gaining the Head of the River.

On Friday, the 3rd of April, the foundation stone of the school chapel was laid by Mrs. F . S. Falkiner. Particulars of the ceremony will be found elsewhere. The chapel which is being erected by Mr. T. Quayle, is already well advanced, and it is expected that it will be ready next July.

It was with great regret that we learnt during the Christmas holidays that the Rev. F . W . R. Newton, vicar of Christ Church, had decided to accept the incumbency of Holy Trinity, Coburg.

H e is succeeded as Vicar of Christ Church by the Rev. H . Stanley Hollow, who becomes ex officio a member of the School Council.

It is with mingled feelings that we offer our congratulations, on behalf of the School, to Dean Stephen upon his election as Bishop of Tasmania.

W e are proud of the honour conferred upon one of the School's most distinguished members, but our pride is tempered with regret that the School Council will lose the Dean's services, and that at the same time we shall lose one of our best friends. However Bass Straits are narrow, and we shall hope often to have the Dean with us.

W e also wish to offer the congratulations of the School to the Hon. D . Mackinnon, another of its distinguished sons, upon his appointment as Attorney General in the present Liberal Ministry.

The Head Master has this term appointed A. L. Chomley and A. R. Thomson school prefects.

F A R E W E L L SERVICE IN C H R I S T CHURCH. At 2.30, immediately before the distribution of prizes, a special farewell service was held in Christ Church, " to mark the occasion of the departure from the old school buildings, and the severance of the tie- between the parish of Christ Church and the School."

The order of service began with the hymn, " O God, our help in ages past." The lesson, Joshua i. 1-13, was read

by Mr. Edward A. Austin. Prayers for the Parish, for the School, and for the School benefactors, were said by the Vicar, the Rev. F . W. R. Newton, and the Head Master, the Rev. F . E. Brown. The farewell sermon was preached by the Very Rev. R. Stephen, Dean of Melbourne, from Acts xxviii. 15, " Paul thanked God and took courage."

The service concluded with the hymn, " We love the place O God," and the benediction was pronounced by the Archbishop of Melbourne. (The Dean's sermon was printed in the December Quarterly).

Immediately after the service at Christ Church, school and visitors assembled in the Bracebridge Wilson Hall.

On the platform were Archbishop Clarke, the Head Master, Dean Stephen, the Revs. F.W. R. Newton and A.Wheeler, the Hon. D. Mackinnon, M.L.A., Captain Percy J. Chirnside, C.M.G., Messrs. H. P. Douglass, W. F. Volum, H. A. Austin, Ed. A. Austin, and A. G. White.

Proceedings were opened by the Dean of Melbourne with prayer, and the Hon. D. Mackinnon, who presided in the absence of the Chairman, after apologising for the absence of Mr. W. T. Manifold, and paying a high tribute to his generosity, went on to say that this was the last gathering in the old school. The new school

at Corio was practically completed, aad work would begin there in February. Naturally there was a sense of regret at severing the old ties, but the Council had found it necessary to enter upon their present enterprise. They would take with them to Corio all the traditions and sentiments of the old school, and the characteristics that had made for success in the past would also, he hoped, make for even greater success in the future.

The advance made by Australia in the last fifty years was well reflected in its public schools. In 1857 the old Geelong Grammar School was built; contrasted with the new school at Corio it conveyed a tangible idea.of the immense advance made in Australia during that period. Set amid splendid surroundings, the new school should become one of the best known in Australia. The future he viewed in the most favourable light. They did not wish the school to be in any way exclusive'; they wished it to be open to every Victorian schoolboy. They wanted the Geelong Grammar School to turn out men of character—gentlemen. They wanted the boys to be patriotic, and to receive a sound education based on religion. The new school he was sure would carry on worthily the work begun so well in the past, and leave its impress on many young Australians.

The Head Master then proceeded to read his statement.

To-day we hold our annual speech day in these buildings for the last time. In the History and Register of the School it is recorded that on the 24th June, 1858, the School was formally opened by its founder, Bishop Perry, first Bishop of Melbourne. It is fitting that of the two chief pastors of our Church in this diocese to whom our schools owe so much, one should be present at the opening and the other at the close of this period in our history.

We are grateful to the Archbishop for stealing a day from his arduous duties to do us the honour of coming here to-day. It is a pleasure to us to have His Grace with us on this occasion, and we rejoice that he is so completely restored to health after his recent severe illness.

the future. That the boys have worked hard, they themselves will have no hesitation in affirming, and for my part I can testify to the amount of time and .energy they have given to their games. There are other grounds for satisfaction in a considerable increase of numbers and a notable advance in the proportion of younger boys entering the School during the year. The present buildings have been literally full to overflowing. I have no records of the numbers in past years, but I understand from those whose connection with the School extends back into the dim and distant past, that our total numbers, have never been so high and that never before have we had over 100 boarders.

Do not think that I place implicit trust in numbers. The character and tone of a school count for far more than numbers, and I believe that not only are the numbers well up, but that the general life is strong and vigorous and the tone good.

The chief fault of the School at the present time lies in its extreme youth, but that is a fault which time alone can remedy. And here may I appeal to parents, not only to let their boys come early, so that they may the more readily grow into the School and gain to the full the advantages to be obtained here, but that they will not take them away too soon. I am sure that boys lose considerably in the long run by the curtailment of their education. I f you give them an extra year or two, that time will prove to be of the greatest advantage to them in after life. When a boy reaches the top of the School, and is placed in a position of responsibility, he finds new and valuable opportunities for the development and training of his character. A year or two in the capacity of a senior is worth considerably more than a much longer period spent in the middle or lower school. With reference to the request I have made that parents should send their boys to us as early as possible, I ought to mention that not the least important feature of the new School will be the separate accommodation provided for young boys in the Head Master's house. These boys will be under the care of an experienced junior school master, Mr. R. G. Jennings, who will join the staff at the beginning of next year.

The annual examination of the work of the School has again been conducted by the staff. From the papers submitted to ine, and from my own observation and knowledge, I have good reason for saying that the past year has been one of continued and solid progress and full of promise for

In the senior public examinations C. E. S. Jackson and J.S. Cook passed the complete examination in mathematics and science, and qualified for matriculation. A. N. Dyson also qualified for matriculation. E. T. Peel passed in physics and chemistry, and R. E. Higgins in English and history.

Of the six country candidates who were successful in the junior book-keeping and commercial examinations, five were from this school.

The following were the successful candidates in the recent examination for school scholarships and exhibitions—W. L. Carrington, of Toorak Preparatory School, who won the resident scholarship, limited to sons of clergy, of annual value of 80 guineas ; R. Webb-Ware, of the Grange School, South Yarra, who won a scholarship of 40 guineas. Resident exhibitions were awarded to R. C. Bridgeford, D. A. White, and J. C. FitzNead. The non-resident scholarships, covering school fees and free passage in motor boat, were gained

by W. A. Finnin, of Newtown State School, and A. T. Jones, of Swanston Street State School.

Some months ago the School Council decided that boys who are already members of the School should be eligible to compete for school scholarships and exhibitions on the same conditions as candidates from other schools. It was felt that our own boys should not be denied privileges which were open to others. This year both of the candidates who presented themselves from the School were successful in winning exhibitions.

The Mary Armytage scholarship which is vacant this year, has been divided between J. S. Cook and C. E. S. Jackson, who were equal in the examination. This scholarship is of the annual value of £40 for three years, It is a schoolleaving scholarship, confined to members of this School, and is tenable at Trinity College, Melbourne.

Another school scholarship, the Cuthbertson scholarship, provided by the late J. L. Cuthbertson, will be open for competition at the end of next year. It is of the annual value of £40, and is tenable for three years at Melbourne University.

The Diocesan Board of Education honour certificates for Divinity were won by C. R. Thomas, J. S. Cook, P. E. F .

Chirnside, R. E. Higgins, C. G. Mair, C. E. G. Beveridge, A. N. Dyson, and C. H. White in the senior division, and

by L. A. Fell, C. Nicholas, and C. Hardy in the intermediate division.

There is little time to speak at any adequate length about another and hardly less valuable side of school life, nameiy the School games, the organisation of which has been carried out with much zeal and enthusiasm. The system of dividing the School into houses, which was established last year as a preliminary to the real house system upon which we are about to enter, has continued to work admirably, not only to the advantage of the- games, but also to the general corporate life of the School. The junior teams show distinct promise; very few boys stand aloof from the games, and on many afternoons every corner of the School field is crowded. A slack playground means a slack school, and it is gratifying to us all that leisure time is thus usefully employed. I reckon that the physical benefit of games is quite second to the moral training they impart. They afford a field for the exercise of many practical virtues, and help perhaps quite as much as books to make a boy into a useful member of the community. Not the least of these benefits perhaps is the discipline of defeat, to learn to take a beating cheerfully and well as sportsmen and as gentlemen. That has been, and always will be, I trust, a tradition of the School. We may be chastened by defeat, but we never begrudge our opponents their victory. This year our cricket is the redeeming feature in our contests with other public schools. Out of the five matches played we won three, one was drawn in favor of our opponents, and one lost. Our place is thus second on the list, the highest we have gained for a considerable number of years. Next year we shall have the great advantage of a ground close to the School, instead of nearly a mile away from it. Consequently there should be a considerable improvement in all our games.

The education of a boy has been described as being of a threefold characrer. There is first of all the training which fits him for earning his livelihood and maintaining himself in independence; there is secondly the training which makes him alive to his responsibilities and the attendant duties of his position as a citizen; and there is also, and not less important, that which enables him to use intelligently and

with advantage his hours of recreation. No school can be said to bo carrying out the task it professes to undertake unless it is endeavouring to develop in a vigorous way all these three sides of a boy's education. The first of the three is of course to a large extent provided for in the classrooms, but the other two are dependent on the out of school activities. The great need for boys in the present day, it has been said, is more leisure time. I agree, but with the stipulation that it must be leisure wisely spent, in which a boy develops his special taste and capacity, otherwise it may be positively harmful. A part of the duty of a school master, I take it, is to encourage this wise and profitable employment of spare time by the cultivation of some healthy hobby or of implanting a love for what is best in literature, • music, and art. Hitherto our efforts in this direction have been to some extent hampered and restricted, but at the new School we shall have far greater facilities for such out of school pursuits.

From the contingents of Old Geelong Grammarians at Oxford and Cambridge and at Melbourne we continue to receive good accounts.

They appear to be entering with zest into the life of their universities, and are worthily upholding the prestige of their school. We are especially proud of Fairbairn, and of the triumph he has achieved in winning his Cricket Blue. We hope that McCaughey, who bowled so well for Cambridge last season, will next year add another to the considerable number of Blues of which the School may boast. But the successes gained at the universities and elsewhese are not so much a test of the training the School has given in the past as the reputation it has established for turning out men who become useful members of the Commonwealth. From all I can learn, political life, especially at the present time, is not a bed of roses, and the School is proud of the increasing number of her old boys who at much self-sacrifice are taking their part in the Parliamentary life of State and Commonwealth. My hope is that the School will send forth a constant succession of her sons eager as well as duly qualified for the service of God both in Church and State.

Events have moved rapidly during the present year. Last speech day the chairman announced that the work of building the school was about to be taken in hand. To-day we can tell you that this great undertaking (involving an outlay of something like ÂŁ80,000) is practically completed. Thanks

to good weather, an absence of strikes, a capable contractor and bands of willing and competent workmen, we shall be able to begin work in the new buildings in February next, less than a year from the laying of the foundation stones.

On April 3rd the first foundation stones were laid and for eight months the work has gone on silently, unceasingly, until we now see across the bay what we believe to be the finest school buildings in the whole of Australia. There is not one of us who is not looking forward with hopeful anticipation to the life in these new buildings, planned by wise counsels, and provided by the generous gifts of large-hearted benefactors, whose names will be cherished as long as the school shall last. Sadness and regret there will be that the old buildings are being forsaken, but the dominant thought to-day is not of regret, but of thankfulness for the mercies vouchsafed to us in the past, and for the future which opens before us with such bright promise.

But a city is men, not walls. We leave the old buildings behind, but we carry with us to the other side the inward life of the school; its tone and traditions go with us. I believe there are few schools which have such a hold upon the affection of its members as the Geelong Grammar School.

I say that from my own observation, and I have many times heard it stated. This affection I know will continue, and will centre round the New School as it has centred round the Old. You will have seen the plans of the buildings and their description, but it is really necessary to see the buildings themselves to realize to the full the magnitude of this undertaking. There are three school houses—Manifold House, named in honour of a family whose generosity has done so much to make the scheme possible ; Perry House, after the founder of the school; and Cuthbertson House, in memory of one to whom the school owes much that is best in its spirit and traditions. Each house will be under a House Master, who will be in loco parentis to the boys under his charge. Mr. Williams will have the charge of Perry House; Cuthbertson House will be entrusted to Mr. E. V. Butler, formerly headmaster of Camperdown Grammar School, The day boys will Comprise a fourth house, under the charge of a master. From the first the council have recognised that the school is the Geelong Grammar School, and it is their wish and mine that the link between Geelong and the school shall grow stronger rather than weaker through our

20

THii cuRIAN

May' 14

migration ; and so they have determined to provide facilities for residents in Geelong to take full advantage of what the school has to offer.

For this reason a 40ft. motor boat, capable of earring 60 or 70 passengers, is being built to convey boys to and from the school. There are also trains which run to Corio and back in the morning and evening at convenient times. The advantages of spending the whole school day in the country in such healthy surroundings are manifest to all.

Now it is well that we should understand that this splendid enterprise has not been carried out without considerable expenditure of time and energy and thought and money, and that help is needed from those who can give it to clear off the existing debt. Putting interest at a low rate, every boy in the new school next year will profit to the extent of at least ÂŁ20 per annum from the building endowment.

It is a great pleasure to me that the boys themselves have shown their appreciation for all that is being done on their behalf by raising quite spontaneously a subscription of 100 guineas among themselves for the new building.

I have confidence that not a few parents, realising the many advantages their sons will enjoy in the new school, will be anxious to relieve the School Council of some of its financial responsibility. Great enterprises such as this are not carried through without much sacrifice, and 1 am sure for the sake of the school that sacrifice will be made in the future as in the past. Moreover, the school which has done the community considerable service during the fifty-six years of its existence ought not to find itself without friends and benefactors, who should give substantial help at this juncture.

Much will need to be done in the way of beautifying and furnishing the new school itself and also the chapel. I should be grateful if any who are disposed to provide gifts for this purpose would let me know. What has struck me since I came to the school is the desire of everyone to be of service to the school and to benefit it, and I feel I have need only to state our wants to have them supplied.

Now that the time of our departure has come, it is borne in upon me what a great wrench the serverance of the tie with Chiist Church (which has lasted for nearly 60 years) will mean to us. All of UP, masters and boys alike, will feel the loss of the vicar as a personal one. We shall miss his wise counsels, his helpful ministrations, his kind and cheery personality. My own debt to him for all the help he has given

me, particularly in preparing our confirmation candidates, is a very great one. Our chief regret is that we cannot take him with us to Corio, but we shall look forward to seeing him often at the new school, and we shall welcome him at all times especially when he comes to preach at our chapel services.

In conclusion, it is my pleasant duty once more to acknowledge the hearty co-operation of my colleagues in all matters concerning the welfare of the school. The year has made large demands on their time and energy, and they have met . them loyally and well.

Before distributing the prizes Archbishop Clarke in addressing the school said that the chairman had alluded to the contagious enthusiasm of Mr. Manifold in raising funds for the new school, but the contagion arose very largely from his own great personal generosity. Mr. Manifold and his brothers had shown continuous generosity in the public interests in Victoria and elsewhere. The new school had been modelled to a large extent as regards the buildings, playgrounds, and surroundings, on the English public schools. It was wise to secure all the land up to the railway line, so that the school would not be hampered by buildings going up about it. Around the school would grow many traditions, which would make it, he hoped, a notable school in Australia. In his speech the chairman had spoken warmly of the late Mr. Bracebridge Wilson, and he could well understand his feelings. It was most important for the lives of the boys and the traditions of the school that there should be a suitable head master. He desired to congratulate the present head master on the way he had carried out his duties, and to wish him well in the splendid prospect there was before him. He hoped the parents and boys would give every assistance to Mr. Brown in the work of the future. Some people were beginning to protest against examinations for boys. He was once a boy himself, and had to submit to examinations; in recent years he had examined many people and knew something about it. Examiners looked out not for blunders made, but for evidence as afforded by the answers of the grasp and knowledge of the subject of examination. It was the duty of examiners to find out what the candidates really knew: they were there for that purpose. He had little

22

THE

sympathy with the annual appearance in the newspapers of what were called school boys' "howlers." Of course, boys would make mistakes; grown-up people make them, too.

People in the course of conversation had to be constantly corrected; they would say they did not mean to say what they did, but meant something else. So they need not mind about mistakes in examinations, which really tested the extent of the student's knowledge and how it could be applied.

The Head Master had made an appeal to the boys to keep up the traditions, to have a purpose in life and to work. There was a story about a Belgian coal-dog that was employed to pull a lawn mower.

At the least interruption he used to bark loudly. T h e dog's owner, on being asked the reason, explained that the dog found it easier to bark than to pull the machine. It was easier to shout and make a noise whether at games or books than it was to drag the machine along and do some work; it was also easier to shout at prize givings than to win prizes. In the school and the every-day wot Id he would ask them not to bark when they ought to be working.

On this the last day in the old school it was most appropriate that they should have gathered in Christ Church for a short service to mark the termination of a religious connection that lasted more than fifty years. H e did not doubt the prosperity of the new school. The whole thing was a magnificent movement, generously supported and calling for a continuous response of parents and boys.

The athletic awards were distributed by Mrs. H . P .

Douglass.

Rev. F . \V. R. Newton moved a vote of thanks to Archbishop Clarke and to Mrs. H . P . Douglass.

Mr. H . P . Douglass seconded the motion, which was carried by acclamation.

Cheers were given by the boys for the Archbishop, Mrs. Douglass and the school council.

The singing of the Doxology concluded the proceedings.

Subsequently afternoon tea was served in the Head Master's grounds.

STONE.

O N Friday afternoon, the 3rd of April, the foundation stone of the School Chapel was laid by Mrs. F . S. Falkiner, of Boonoke, Conargo, New South Wales, the mother of the five brothers, Messrs. F . B. S., O. R., N . F . , R. S. and L. S. Falkiner, to whose generosity the erection of the chapel is due. Visitors came from Melbourne and Geelong by train and motor in time for the ceremony, which took place at three o'clock.

Upon the platform, besides the members of the School Council and the Head Master, the Rev. F . E . Brown, were the Rev. Canon Snodgrass, Vicar of St. P a u l ' s ; the Rev. F . W . R. Newton, late Vicar of Christ Church; the Rev. H . Stanley Hollow, Vicar of Christ Church ; the Rev. C. H. Lea, School Chaplain (who all assisted the Head Master in conducting the service), and the following members of the Falkiner family :—Mrs. F . S. Falkiner, Messrs. Ralph, Norman, and Otway Falkiner, Mrs Norman Falkiner, Mrs McBean (daughter of Mrs. F . S. Falkiner), and Leslie Falkiner (at present a pupil of the School), besides a large number of old boys and friends of the School. T h e boys acted as a choir under the direction of Mr G. W . Steedman, and the Rev. C. H . L e a officiated as organist.

The record placed beneath the stone (which is printed below) was read by Mr. H . P . Douglass.

T h e order of service began with the hymn, " Rejoice to-day with one accord."

The lxxxiv. Psalm, " O how amiable are thy dwellings : thou Lord of hosts," was sung, and the stone was then dedicated by the Rev. F . E . Brown. A silver trowel was handed by the Chairman of the School Council, Mr W . T. Manifold, to Mrs. F . S. Falkiner, who laid the stone, repeating the words, " In the faith of Jesus Christ we place this Foundation Stone, in the name of God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Ghost. Amen." T h e hymn, " T h e Church's One

Foundation," was then sung, and on the conclusion of the prayers, the Rev. F. W. R. Newton delivered an address.

He said it was but a year since many of them had assembled there to lay the foundation stone of the pile of buildings that was adjacent. It was scarcely believable that within one year the buildings should be finished, and the school itself transferred to the new home. Although they dedicated the buildings to God, because all that was being done in them was to the glory of His name, yet there remained something else to be done, and that was the erection of a building that could be dedicated especially to God and to the great glory of His name. The Council felt that for the generations of boys passing through this School they should have a building, whose symmetry and beauty would speak to the boys of the glorious- harmony in the works of the Creator. There was a time in the history of England and Northern France when people were minded to do great things for God. Men were beginning to understand the science of architecture better, and it seemed to them that stones could speak and express all those national and religious aspirations men had. And so they found that in England, in the thirteenth century, buildings were springing up in all directions, and every village put up its parish church in the best position. In Northern France the architecture is somewhat different. The people did not live on the farms as in rural England. So that the church could be seen by all, it rose triumphant above all the dwellings round it. Thus came the wonderful Gothic architecture, which we saw especially in the north of France. God's house stood majestic above everything else. That was a time of doctrinal error and spiritual darkness, but all the same, the people's faith was being deepened, and they tried to express what they felt in the beautiful carvings of stone.

Men gave their riches and time to erect these wonderful buildings for God. They had been told of a magnificent building at Chartres—where people went even to-day to see it—that speaks of the devotion, love, and loyalty to their God of the mm who erected it many hundreds of years ago.

Did it not seem as if we in Australia were going to enter on our era-of church building? We had not done so very much in the past; but within the past few months we had heard of a beautiful chapel being presented to Trinity College, of another to a church-school in far-away Western Australia; and when they saw'the proof here to-day of men

who were willing to give of their substance that glory might be done to God and His church, they believed that it was going to give the answer to the great question. Are men indifferent in Australia to the claims of God ? We were entering on a new age of religious enthusiasm and devotion.

This School stood ever as a witness that it belonged to Christ. The chapel was to tower above all the other buildings, and to-day they knew that there was no education worth having unless it had a religious foundation. If they looked at the great public schools of Victoria, they found that every one had been founded by men of faith, who had given of their time and substance; who believed that God must be behind every man if his character was to be developed aright. Men often said that if a school developed the mental and physical parts they could get their religion elsewhere. That could pot be. A boy must be educated in every way if he was to be a true help to those about him.

Years ago, in the early days of Oxford, students came from all parts because the fame of the teachers had spread abroad; but there was a good deal of lawlessness. To remedy that, the men of faith decided to erect colleges and chapels.

To-day we saw the result in the magnificent universities of Britain. We were trying to carry out those principles in our new land of Australia—to develop men who - would go out into the Commonwealth with the power that could only come from God : the power that came from communion with Him. First place should be given to Christ. It was fitting that Christ should be given first place even in the motto of this school which they loved so well. And they hoped that every boy and member of the school would go out realising that he was able to lift up his heart to God, to raise his eyes and feel that he had been imbued with power from on high. To the members of the school especially he would ask that when this chapel was finished they would use it—come within its ever-open doors; that at times when temptation assailed and difficulties came, when they felt despondent and in doubt, that they would ask God for help. When they went out into the world their memories would go back to this beautiful chapel, reminding them of the vows at their confirmation in the enthusiasm of their youth. He prayed God to bless this chapel. The donors could have no greater reward than that the fruits of their generosity should be that men would be produced as leaders in the church, the law, the teaching profession and other departments of life in this great Com-

monwealth- This chapel had to be appropriately furnished.

If there were any who felt that they would like to make some offering to the chapel, to the glory of God, there would be many opportunities.

The hymn, " Onward, Christian Soldiers," followed by the blessing, concluded the service.

Afternoon tea was afterwards served in the School Hall.

Cricket.

FROM the Eleven we lost at Christmas E. R. Whitteron (the captain), and we have since tried two new players J. A. Affleck and W. Bailey.

Of our three Public School matches this term we have won two and lost one. Our matches against Geelong College and Xavier were both played on our own ground; the first of these we won by three wickets after a most exciting game, and the second by an innings and two runs. The second round of matches should have been played on Friday and Saturday, the 13th and 14th of March. But owing to a military parade in Melbourne on the Saturday, we. had to play Scotch College in Melbourne on Thursday and Friday, 12th and 13th instead. Heavy rain fell during Thursday night, so that we could not commence play on Friday until twelve o'clock, and the wicket was for an hour or two unpleasant. In this match we were beaten by eight wickets and two runs.

Altogether we played five practice matches this term and two of these were against teams consisting almost entirely of old boys. We are much indebted to Messrs A. Spowers and F . W. Fairbairn, for the trouble they took in bringing their respective elevens to play us. Both matches proved very enjoyable.

Our victory against Geelong College was owing to ths fine batting of A. L. Chomley and C. Lloyd, who put on 100 runs in their partnership at the seventh wicket, and carried out their bats for 52 and 51 not out respectively.

Our batting has on the whole been disappointing, as some of our best bats failed us in the Public Schools' matches; but in bowling we haye done much better. C.Lloyd in particular bowled brilliantly, taking against Geelong College, 12 wickets for 98, against Scotch College 7 for 89, and against Xavier, 10 for 60 (an average of 8.5 for 29 wickets). A. L. Chomley has been captain, and A. R. Thomson vice-captain, of the eleven this term, and both have done much by their own excellent example to inspire keenness in the others. ^ Mr. R. G. Jennings has this term undertaken to organize and look after the Junior Cricket of the school, and to pro-

Gafcet BotesT H E School is now in Area 69 B ; accordingly at the end of last year we returned all our rifles, belts, numerals, and most of the pull-throughs. Those that were not returned were duly paid for by the cadets who had the misfortune to wear them out by assiduous cleaning of their rifles. At present we labour under the disadvantage of having to parade on the Sports Ground ; moreover we have no place to keep rifles, so the authorities of 69 B have not seen fit to issue them. However by the beginning of next term the Bracebridge-Wilson Hall will be set up again, when rifles will be issued, and military work should progress smoothly.

A hitch has occurred in the erection of our Rifle Range, owing to the refusal of the Geelong Harbor Trust to allow us to close part of the foreshore of the bay. The bullets fired on the range would drop in the bay, passing at least 40 feet over the foreshore, and the site was favourably inspected by an agent of the Lands Department, so that we still have hopes of receiving permission to erect the range.

Eight of our boys attended camp as citizen soldiers with the Melbourne University Rifles at Easter, and returned to school looking very fit after a fairly strenuous but enjoyable ten days.

The corps was inspected by Lieutenant G. H. Webb of the Physical Instructional Staff, on March 26th; after the â&#x20AC;˘ inspection he gave us some valuable hints on military matters, and reported favourably on the work we did.

We congratulate Captain J. Webb on being appointed Area Officer of 69 B, and look forward to his frequent presence on parade in future. A large class for N.C.O's. has been formed, and under his. tuition much keenness is being shown, and considerable improvement is already manifest.

Our parade day has been changed to Thursday to suit the altered conditions in our new site, and it is our intentioq to hold full-day parades on Saturday mornings.

To Mrs. Austin and the Family we offer on behalf of the School our deep and most respectful sympathy.

years.

IT is with the deepest regret that we have to record the sad death of Rex Austin, a member of the School, which took piace at Geelong, on Sunday, the 19th of April, after only a short illness. Never quite robust, he had been absent from school, it will be remembered, last year through illness, and on his return was forbidden to play football.

During the present term he was again absent, and underwent an operation. He had only just recovered from this when he returned to school on Easter Tuesday. He then appeared in good health. On Thursday, however, he complained of feeling ill, but it was not until Sunday morning that the doctor viewed his condition seriously. Later in the day alarming symptoms of meningitis developed, and he was removed about four o'clock to a private hospital in Geelong, accompanied by his mother who had been sent for. Unfortunately his condition did not improve, and about nine o'clock the same evening he passed away without regaining consciousness.

The School were greatly shocked when on Monday morning they heard the sad news, and were told that their school-fellow would be buried that afternoon in Geelong.

The blow came with startling suddenness, for in less than 24 hours after he was with us we were standing beside his grave, and mourning for the loss of one whose kindly nature and lovable qualities we all remembered.

The funeral service was held at Christ Church at three o'clock. From the church the School preceded the hearse to the Eastern Cemetery, where the burial took place.

The Prefects and a few of Austin's most intimate friends in the School were the pall-bearers. Both at the Church and at the grave the Rev. F . E. Brown, Headmaster, and the Rev. C. H. Lea, School Chaplain, officiated, assisted by the Vicar of Christ Church, the Rev. H. Stanley Hollow, and the Rev. Garnett Shaw. Afterwards in addressing the

The sad news has reached us by cable from India of the death of Lawrence Oliphant Shaw, of the 7th Dragoon Guards, which took place at Secunderabad, India, on Sunday, the 15th March, the result of a severe mauling received from a panther on the preceding Thursday.

Further particulars have not yet been received.

Lawrence Shaw joined the School in February, 1905, and left us in 1909. He passed through Sandhurst with distinction, and early last year received a commission in the 7th Dragoon Guards. Soon afterwards he joined a detachment of his regiment in India, where the sad accident occurred, which has cut short a young life of exceptional promise.

banded stilt breeding, and Mr. North, of the Australian Museum, informs me that he lias no authentic notes of the breeding of this species, and is very much in doubt if they have ever really been found, Mr.White, of Belltrees, informs me that he believes the eggs in his collection are authentic, but is not absolutely sure. When you say they breed in the interior, I have little doubt that you are correct, but it is very doubtful if their main breeding haunts have ever been discovered.''

The only recent reference I can find as to its breeding in the southern parts of Australia is a note by Captain S. A. White, of South Australia, in Gregory Matthew's " Birds of Australia."

He says:— " T h i s bird makes its appearance on the Adelaide Plains during the winter months, remaining in small colonies to breed. The nest is of rough construction, placed generally in a low salt bush."

Mr. T. P. Austin in referring to the collecting of natural history specimens, says that he has 670 species properly preserved and scientifically named, the result of his hobby for nature.

He remarks : — " I agree with you wholly that it is not a good thing to encourage boys to collect in a haphazard and useless fashion."

Mr. Austin a d d s : — " I have left my collections by will to the Australian Museum, Sydney, and ,£500 with them, so that they can always be on view to the public."

H . G. A. Smithers who for some t i m e has been in the service of the Bank of Australasia, at Bairnsdale, has recently accepted the position of manager of the Cairns (Queensland) branch of this bank.

In a letter recently received from him he says:— 'I should like you to mention in the Quarterly that I shall be very pleased to receive calls from old boys so that I may be able to be of service in supplying information to them when they are travelling through this part of Australia."

Felix C. Cowle writing from Kalgoorlie, West Australia s a y s : — " I assume you will shortly be making preparations for the official opening of the new buildings. I shall be witli you in spirit, and should dearly like to be in the flesh, but ;ilas, this cannot be. I shall be glad if you will let me know the exact date of the function so that I may get together any O.G.G's. of this district to wish success to the new buildings."

T h e date of the official opening has not yet been fixed; probably it will not be until the chapel is completed ; this will be about the beginning of October, if the stone masons' strike, which is now keeping back the work, is shortly settled.

Dr. R. N . S. Good gave up his practice at Wentworth, in July, 1913, and is now practising in Young, N.S.W., where he hopes to make his home for some years to come.

A. Kelburn K. Scott has settled at Yunlong, Scotsburn, and hopes to see something of the School now he is again in Victoria.

A. Archer is at the Castlemaine Technical School.

H. Fysh has settled on the land. Writing from Logan, Evandale, Tasmania', he says :— ' I have been here since I left school, and am doing very well on the land : it is certainly a splendid life, in fact the best there is I think."

H e is an enthusiastic member of the machine-gun section of the local squadron of Light Horse. H e says—" It is most interesting work, indeed I think a machine gun is more delicate than any motor car. W e had a great time in camp, and all came home quite fat."

ASSOCIATION. T h e Council of the Old Scotch Collegians have invited the Old Boys' Associations of the Victorian Public Schools to send representatives to a meeting to be held at an early date at their club rooms, to consider the advisability of forming a truly amateur football association, which would consist of teams representing the old boys of the various public schools. There is much to be said in favour of the formation of such an association, as the professional element, which has now secured so strong a hold in the Victorian League and Association, is very distasteful to many lovers of true sport. , In Kn^laiul, it is not too much to say, the Football Association of Old Hoys of the Public Schools has revolutionized amateur football, and the competitions for the " Arthur I)nnn C u p " in Soccer football, established some ten years ago, are continued every year with the K r e a u ; st enthusiasm.

The proposal to found a Public Schools' Old I Joys' Football Association in Victoria cannot be too much commended.â&#x20AC;&#x201D; FniTOK Corian.']

IRowing.

W E are now the proud possessors of two boat sheds. In the old shed on the Barwon we have the two racing eights, the • old " Argo," the " Clematis," and a tub pair. In the new shed on the lagoon we have the remainder of our old fleet, '.' together with the following new boats which were finished for us by Jerram early in March—the "Banongil" a • practice eight,'the "Barwon" and "Corio," light clinker fours, and a tub pair.

We very quickly got accustomed to rowing on the lagoon, and found the water very buoyant and lively. With a heavy wind, the waves are apt to rise unpleasantly high, but throughout the whole term, in spite of an unusually , windy autumn, we have had but three or four afternoons when rowing was impossible. Till the coxswains became acquainted with the locality of two or three sand banks> which are only bare at the very lowest tides, it was no uncommon sight to see the members of a stranded crew wading with shoes removed (occasionally not), and pushing the boat into deep water. However all that is now a thing of the past, and taken all through, the water of the lagoon is good enough to satisfy the most exacting of oarsmen.

When it is rough on the lagoon a row of about a mile brings one to a creek at the eastern end, which is sheltered by its banks with bushes on one side and a ridge on the other, where one may enjoy perfectly smooth water, except perhaps in a howling gale.

As was to be expected, Saturday parties down the river were not as numerous as formerly, but we hope that they will not be allowed entirely to die out, for there is nothing like a 'ong row down the river to produce rowing muscle and to teach watermanship.

CREW.

Although only three members of last year's crew came back this term we were fortunate in having some excellent material from last year's second eight. T h e stern end of the boat was quickly settled, but it was some little while before the four bow oars were finally determine' upon.

At an early stage of training it was obvious that t le crew had great possibilities and that if they got thoroughly together they would probably be very fast. After a few experiments the following went into training—J. Webster, stroke: F . P . Brett, 7; R. L . C. Hunt, 6; G. P . Douglass, 5 ; G. P . Kay, 4 ; W . S. Kelly, 3 ; F . E . W e b b , 2 ; K. C. W e b b - W a r e , bow; J. V. Fairbairn was spare man.

The crew individually were a very even lot in weight, averaging slightly over 11 stone, Hunt, the heaviest, being about 10 lbs. over the average, and Webster, the lightest, being about 5 lbs. below it. The early part of their practice was done on the lagoon, and though to some extent we were unfortunate in experiencing unusually rough weather for the time of year, yet on the other hand, the experience gained so improved their watermanship, that when the racing boat was entered very little difficulty was found in sitting it on the easier waters of the Barwon.

After April 18th the crew went into Geelong every afternoon to practice on the Barwon, and improved both rapidly and uniformly. T h e first full course was rowed on April 25th in ~) min. 1 sec.; the second on May 2nd in 4 min.

59 s e c ; while on April 29ih the crew rowed from the starting post of the regatta course to Pakington St., in 2 min. 19 sees. Although conditions were favourable for these performances, yet the form displayed was so good that our hopes were high that our crew would succeed in winning the much desired Head of the River.

Now that they have succeeded, they have our heartiest congratulations on their success, and too much praise cannot be given to Col. Garrard for his careful coaching and his long sustained enthusiasm for the school rowing.

Our thanks are due to the University Boat Club and Mr. Disher, the captain, for the use of the boatshed during our crew's stay in Melbourne, also to Mr. T . Crosthwaite for so ably looking after our interests at the meeting of the managing committee.

T h e heats were rowed off on the Yarra over the Henley course, on Friday, May 8th. It was a perfect day for rowing, the weather being very mild, and though there was a slight head wind it was not sufficient to upset the work of the crews. T h e crews in the various heats were well matched, and in only one heat was it possible to forecast the issue with reasonable certainty 100 yards before the finish.

Both crews got away badly, the Grammar School boat was not straight and their cox made a wide detour before settling down on his proper course, while a crab in the Scotch boat after a few strokes interfered with their pace considerably.

Scotch rowed with plenty of life and dash, their work being in marked contrast to that of the Grammar crew who seemed very dead by comparison. At the bridge, Scotch were leading by a qnarter of a length, which they increased to half a length at the corner. Here their boat rolled considerably, and became unsteady, enabling Melbourne to gain slightly. However when the boats straightened up for the run home, Scotch, who were still maintaining their vigour, and rowing a very long stroke drew away, and shortly after, Brander's Ferry were just clear. At this point, Melbourne, who had been very short and scratchy, at last struck the form they had exhibited in practice, and

The School got well away at the start, and led at once.

Wesley, who were not quite straight swerved over, and the two crews collided after a half a dozen strokes and stopped.

Bow in the Wesley boat broke his oar, and a long wait was necessary before another oar could be procured. After half an hour's delay a second start was effected.

Both crews got away together, but the School soon showed in front and had a lead of a third of a length at the bridge.

At the turn, this lead had increased to half a length. T h e school coxswain went very wide at the turn, and when the boats had straightened for home, Wesley, who had sprinted, were on level terms. Both crews were rowing in splendid form, and it was a magnificent struggle. At Brander's Ferry the School was about three feet in the lead, and the coach's whistle was heard from the bank; both crews quickened slightly, but the School gradually drew away.

About 100 yards from the post Wesley made a grand spurt and drew almost level, but Webster made a supreme effort, and being splendidly supported by his crew drew away, and won by a quarter length in 5 min. 17 sees. Both crews were completely rowed out, for it had been a most gruelling race fiercely contested every inch of the way, and the struggle over the last quarter mile will be long remembered by all who saw it. Wesley were as great in defeat as they have been in victory, and the most keenly appreciated congratulations that our crew received were those received from every member of their generous opponents.

Geelong were faster away, and rowing with plenty of life and dash, led by half a length at the bridge. At the turn they led by a length, and appeared to have the race well in hand. Xavier, however, were by no means done with, and rowed with wonderful grit.' Inch by inch they drew up on the leaders, till 100 yards from home they were almost level, and the excitement was intense. Geelong who had appeared to be unable to sprint up to this, at last got going strongly, and drawing away won by a quarter of a length in 5min. 21secs.

3 The School and Geelong College got away together, but Scotch crabbed the first stroke and lost some distance. At the bridge the School were half a length ahead of Scotch, and about a quarter length ahead of Geelong.

They speedily settled down into their swing, and began to leave their opponents. At the corner Geelong College were three quarters of a length behind, with Scotch a quarter length further away. The College made a big effort, and drew up to half a length, but the long swing of the School soon carried them clear of both crews. At Brander's Ferry we had a lead of a length and a quarter, while Scotch and Geelong College were fighting it out for second place.

Scotch spurted, but made no impression on the School crew, which, rowing with beautiful precision at about 32, crossed the line a length and a quarter ahead of Scotch, who were in turn three quarters of a length ahead of Geelong College. The time was 5min.9£secs.

SECOND

EIGHT.

As usual a race with Geslong College for Second Eights was arranged this year. T h e School crew did most of their training on the lagoon in the " Purrumbete " but put in the last three days on the Barwon in the " Argo."

The race took place on Friday, May 1st.

The crews started from Pak. and rowed to the finishing post of the regatta course. Conditions were perfect when Col. Garrard sent the crews away to an excellent start.

The College who had the South Station at once jumped ahead and rowing with more dash than our crew who were somewhat ponderous soon had a lead of half a length. At the Woollen Mills our crew came up slightly but at the bridge were again half a length in rear. From this point the College gradually drew ahead and eventually won a good race by about two thirds of a length.
