A BERKS-HIRE PROPERTY. BOUGHT_ BY MR. A. M. DUNNE. The Denford estate of 785 acres, near Hungerford, has just changed hands privately through the agency of Messrs. Simmons and Sons. The new owner is Mr. A. M. Dunne, K.C., of Caine. The manors of High and Low Denford were granted by Henry III. to the James family; with whom they remained until the 18th Century. The existing mansion was, however, built earl:y in the follo_wing century by the Cherry family, who acquired the property in 1832. A sundial on the south-west lawn bears their arms and motto, "Cheris L'espoir," with the inscrip.. tion, "The night cometh." The Gherrys also !Juilt the quaint little church of Denrord, which 18 noted for the . unusual characteristic of an orientation op_posite to that almost universal with sacred edifices.

LAND WANTED. A letter was路 read from Captain A. 0. Hood, agent to Lord Lansdowne, intimating that St. Mary's School proposed to build a sanatorium, provided it could have a portion of land now rented by the Board, from Lord Lansdowne. His lordship would not force the Board, if it was not willing to give up the ground.-It was stated that the land would be about a quarter of an acre in extent and that the Master had no objection to the school taking the piece abutting on the road.-Mr. Rawlings questioned whether it was wise for the school to build so near the Workhouse; but it was pointed out that it was some distance away.-Asked what the sanatorium was for, Mrs. Stanier replied for measles and slight troubles that children had.-The Clerk: Most schools have places where they can isolate children at once. -Provided the 路 House Committee, after inspection, was satisfied, the Board agreed to 1 give up the piece of land abutting the road.

The _local branch of the League of Nations of whic!i the Mayor is President and Mr. A'. M. Davis, hon. secretary, had the pleasure on Monday of recei~in~ a visit from Mr. Frederick ·Whelen, the pfmcipal lecturer of the Union who has just returned from the Assembly at 9eneva, who spoke at two meetings. The one m the afternoon was held at the Picture Palace, and was for the elder school children of t~e town . They themselves were really responsible /or the arrangement of the meeting, Ma ster_ Norn;ian Baker being 1]ie secretary to the ~hildren s Committee, and'Jl;_he hall was exceedmgly well-~Ued with children, who followed the sp00:ker s address with rapt attention. In the _chair was Anne Wood, one of the senior pupil_s of St. Mary' s School, and she had the support on the platform of Norman Baker James Gunning. (Boys' School), James Cuff <M;arde!l). Horatio Chant (Trinity) and Rita Wiltshire .(Girls' School) . The Chairl!lan make a _neat little speech in OJ?emng, which spe delivered without the sli~htest tr~ce of nervousness. It was, she !'Bid, s_plen<lid to be ha vmg such a big meetmg this afternoon. But then perhaps you all f~l as ! do,. that we could not do other than seize this umque oppoi:tu~ity of learning more about the League of l\ations from such a speaker as_ Mr. Whelen. I am not going to tell you anythmg about Mr. ·Whelen as I have no doubt you know just as much as I do. But I feel equally sure that we aU need to know about t~e League itself. There may be some here tins afternoon who a re not particUlarly interested. That is either because they do not know l!n~ugh about it or because they have been m1smformed. Both misfortunes-because they are misfortunes-will be remedied I have no doubt, before we go away to-day ..f' lfr. Whelen,. iJ? . a very i_nteresting address, opened by exh1b1tmg to the audi ence a copy 1 of th,~ P eace Treaty with Germany known a s the lreaty of Versailles, which he explained began with the names of those who made the Treaty. For Great Britain it was signed by Mr. Lloyd George, one Englishman, and three Scotsmen. Very unfair, he humorously sngg_e sted, to have three Scotsmen and one Enghshm_nn. Afterwards it was brought to Buckmgham Palace and signed by King George, and. that was how they Lecame the League of N!l-twns. All the nations who ma.de the peace with Germany became the first members and on its first birthday in January 1920 eighteen nation~ had joined. He told of' the growth of the J"eague, until now it comprised 55 nations· the las ~ one ~o comp in a week ago being th ~ Republic of Sa n Dommgo. H e gave some interesting glimpses of the first (and subsequent) mpe~ing of the Assembly of the League of NabC?ns at Geneva, describing it as the first . meetmg of the Parliament of Mankind . At present three-quarters of the world were inside the L!l<lgqe; there . was only one quarter to oome m, and that mcluded Germany, Russia, Turkey, and the States of North America. Germany and Turkey were coming in very soon, and shortly they would only have outside counting great nations, Russia and the State~ j of _1'orth America. Mr. Whelen spoke of the I obJects of the League-international co-operation, peace. and security-as well as the wonclerful efforts of Dr. Nansen, the Norwegian I expl?rcr, in ~ecuring the release of nearly half a milhon prisoners of war by means of international co-operation. He touched on the ti;agedies of _war, particularly dealing with the diseases wluch were ·rampant during the war and which followed after, and spoke of the work of the League as making people happy. There could not be wars without horrible disease, and they must all work to prevent any world wide war again occurring. It was up to the bots and girls to do that; their parents had no L~gue of Nations, and therefo_re could

not stop the world, war, w.hich caused the death of so many millions of men, because there was no League of Nations. If all the boys and girls of the world were banded together in the League it would be very powerful, and we n eed have no more wars. Quarrels between nations -must be settled by other means than war. because war left so many painful things behind. Much of the trouble in the world to-day was because so many millions hated each other; that particularly applied to Europe, where people were 80 busy ha.tin~ each other that it . was difficult to work the League of Nn.tions. In spite of that, it had done wonderful things, and in the last five• years had stopped five small wars in Europe, particularly betwoon two countries in the Balkans. where, as they knew, the last great war originated. H e emphasised the importance of settling differences around the table instead of killing people, and claimed that if that were clone •e should have a very different world in lhe future to what we had had in the past. N ev.>r before in the history- of the world had there been the chance that there was t<~da_y. Had the nine million men who died in the last war died for nothing? The League was the best world-wide memorial to the memory of those men, and he pleaded with the children to take a keen interest in it in order to prevent wars in the future. Norman Bakei·, proposing a vote of thanko to Mr. Whelen, said the League of Nations was an· institution which he was sure every one of them had closely at heart, and they, as the citizens of the future, ha.d it in t11eir power to stop all the horrihle things that had happened in the past.-Rita \Viltshire seconded, and the vote havinJ? b een accor~ed, the meeting ended with the National Anthem. EVEN I NG M EET IN G. There was a s:plendid attendance at the evening meeting, which was held at the Town Hall. Archdeacon Bodington pre5ided, and was supported on the platform by Miss A. Gunning ' (Mayoress), Mrs. Bodington, Miss Matthews, Dr. ·Ede, Dr. James, Messrs. J. Gale, B. I. Dixon, and A. M. Davis. , The Chairman, in a few observations, regretted that he was unable to attend _the _afternoon meeting, as he was at the dP.dicabon of the _!llemorial to the fate Bish~p Ridge_w ay at Salisbury Cathedral, but there was no doubt the Bishop would have been a keen supporter of tlie League of Nations, as he foresaw the inevitable result of war. He read a letter from the Marquess of Lansdowne, which contained the following: "I have from the first been a strong supporter of the League, but I fear I must ask you to excuse me if I decline your invitation to attend the meeting, niy health not having been very good for some time past." The Chairman added that Lord Lansdowne was one of their elder statesmen of great experience in foreign affairs, and his support of the League of Nations and the League of Nations Union was certainly very much worth havi'!lg (a121:ilause). Mr. Whelen then gave a practical address on the League and its accomplishments, covering a good many of the .points he dealt with at the afternoon meeting. Referring to the fact that 'the principal nations not yet included in the League were Germany, Turkey, Russia, and the States of North Am erica, he" said it was a misfortune, but not so great a misfortune as one might imagine. Germany was going to ~ppl y for membership very shortly; a delay had been caused owing to a general election in that country, bn't after it was over he felt certain th at an application for membership would come from Germany and that she would be admitted. 'J'he late war was caused largely through th ~ e being two Leagues of Nations-a 1.eague of Gerl many and her friends, and a league of France ' and her friends. We thought we might get peace that way but we got war. It was there. fore essential_ that for the future there should

be only one League. ~f Germany and Russia remained outside it might well be that · there would still be two Leagues. It was therefore a very fortunate thing that. Germany had decided to join tlie League of Nat10ns. Turkey bad also decided to a1lply, and the other nations had agreed to accept her. There remained Russia, and he confessed tha:t it might be some time before that country came in, but Russill showed some small signs of coming towards the League. A few years ago ·R ussia \rnuld not speak of the League except in terms of frightful insult, but there was now certainly a change. As to America, it was strange that that country did not join the. League at once, because it was America who suggested the Armistice terms which we as well as our foes accepted. The reason was that America was not really so I advanced a country as we were in the habit of thinking. She was rather an old-fashioned country, governed by the same code of rules that was formed when she was a young oountry. Under the American constitution a Treaty made by the President had to be ratified by a two-thirds majority in the House of the Senate. They had had the President in favour of the League of Nations, an-i a majority, but not a · two-thirds majority. That had kept them out to their disaster and to the hurt of the whole world. It took them 18 years to join the Red Cross, but it would not take them 18 yea rs to join the League of Nations. In the end they always did the ri~ht thing in America, but . very slowly. America, however, did work with the League, although not a member, and he referred to the work of the American representatives in suppressing the opium traffic and the terrible traffic amongst women and children. Referring particularly to the fact that one of the horrible oonsequences of war was that so many people were driven from their homes, the speaker said the League had done a tremendous work in organisinl!' refugees and getting them placed in countnes wliere they oonld obj;ain wOTk; and spoke of the depths of misery to which Austria had snnk, and how that country had b€en put on its feet again throuf'th the efforts of the League. • Upon the question of disarmament, Mr. Whelen said before there could come material disarmament, there must come moral disarmam_ent; they must do away with hate. ln Europe to-day there were more men under arms than there were in 19H. He told of several instances where the League in the last few years had been the •'leans of settling differences, and observed that it was said the world was governed by three things, viz., iron, i.e., war; gold , i.e., finance; and public opinion. The. latter was the stronger, and he concluded by a ppealin_g to the anrltence to assist thP League in influencing public opinion more in its favour. The u sual votes of thanks were accorded.

CALNE ST. MARY'S SCHOOL. CANON SPOONER AT THE PRl~E DAY. BD'UCATIO:R I:R THB PAST AHD HOW.

An i nteresting address, in which h e com· ;:ia red th e ed uca t ional fac ilit ies of to-day wit h those of a few d..,.ades ago, was given by Canon H . M. Spooner , of Oxford , la t e.ly Ai:chdeacon of Maid stone, a t the annual pn z~ givmg a t St. .\iary's School, on Frida y. The afternoon was Jll(•nded to be a "quiet" one, and only the par!ln ts of t h e children no.w in the sch ool were invited. Archdeacon Bodmgt on p r esided, and .,._,~ s u.Pported by Canon Spoon er, R ev. A. L . Scott (correspondent), aml Miss Ma tthews (headmistress) . The Chairman, in a few opening rem arks, referred to the g-rowth of the school, and its success in late years, and especially commended tihe services on behalf of the school of Mr. A. M. Dunne, K.C. In spite of the fact that he was leaving Caine, they wouhl be pleased to know that he was retaininl!" his seat as a governor. The more fl.ouri shmg ·a school was the less werk t here was for the governocs t o do, and at present they had a sinecure. They had a fint-class school, and everybody knew t what Miss Matthews had done for it (applause). Miss Matthews thanked the Archdeacon for his reference to her, and said sh e did not agree that. the goTernors had nothing to do as. they wanted severa l things; there was the sanatorium, and she had plenty of other thi'ngs she would present to them before long. HEADMISTRESS'S REPORT.

The Headmistress then presented her report as follows :"Mr. Chairman, Canon Spooner, Ladies and Gentlemen, 1 "Last year, our Jubilee year, our J?ri11:e giving coincided with our Jubilee celebration s, and was the occasion of great r ejoicings and festivities. This year we are keeping our prize giving much more quietly-in the way I, personally, feel much more appropriate. I like-as I have said before-to look upon the occasion in the light of a "parents' day," as it were, when they may join with uii as we try to report on the life of the School and take them into our confidence as to our hopes and aims for the future. " It is two years since I made a formal report-we could l::ardly concentrate on such things in the Jubilee time--and in those two years much has hapJ?Cned to us. I remember two years aro deplormg the absence of an art room and science room. In my wildest moments I did not dare to expect that our wants should be so speedily supplied and that ou.r new Jubilee Bui ldings s hould be an accom" ltshed fact . The year's work has been very greatly helped by those delightful buildings. We are hoping that our visitors will be interested in some of the product& of the carpenter's shop, which, of all the. rooms in the Jubilee Buildings, is perha ps the most popular, and where such gciod work is being I done under M!:, C'!Uey.

,. We have, as :ret, no ~ etructural ' additions to record beyond the purchase of an ' exceedingly well-built little house in North f Street, which the Governors have acquired for · use as a 11411.atorium. TB.is, we hope, will 011ly I be a temporai"y acquisition until such time as the model sanatorium we all desire to see built can be put up in the plot of ground to t he north of this building, which the Governors have recently bought for the purpose. j " With regard to the work of the lchool : 1 Since my las t report we have enter ed sixteen 1 girls for the School Certificate, of whom fifteen have been successful. For the Oxford High,er I Local we ha ve entered eight (in English, ' Languages, and Mathematics )-all of whom have passed. One was the only girl candidate this summer to obtain honours in mathematics. Seven girls have entered for the Certificate of the Institute of Hygiene, and all have passed. One girl has gone up to the 1 University to r ead for Honours in English, anoth er has entered the· University of Paris . " I think there is good, steady: work being done by an increasing number of .girls in the School, but just at present our VI Form is hardly up to the us ual standard. For this there are various r easons but it is a matter I regret, as I feel that,. if ·at the top of the School rea lly advanced work is being done, it is a stimulus to good work all through the School. 1 ""\v;.ith regard to our music we have felt . increl singly for some time that the work being done cannot · truly be gauged by entering the l girls for elementary examina;\ons. For the . most part these examinations are of 1 practicaUy no value, and are even harmful as limiting the children to a very circumscribed syllabus which m ay, or may not, be suited to the girl in question. I am glad to say that our view is shared by the majority of our pa rents . We are rarely asked : to prepare girls for these examinations. At the same · time I have felt for some time that regular inspection of the work would be of great value to us . We ha ve been extremely fortunate in securing the help of no less dis tinguished a pianist than Miss Fanny Davies h erself. She wa.s here last 1·eek, and we were indeed fortunate in that she ga ve us a wondei:fully delightful recital b efore her ins)!Cction. In her report Miss Davies writes: ' ' It is a real pleasure to congratulate the Music Staff on the excellent results alrellliy attained •b y the pianoforte pupils. Several were d elightful to lis t en to; for they show knowledge of good smooth tone, without forcing, and with· out outwardly disclosing the secrets thereof ! They use their fingers well, the phrasing is exceptionally good and on large lines, with rhythm a•d musical intelligence--sur·e ly a very firm basis on which to develope a capable pianist. " ' It is n eedless to say that I shall follow with d eepest intere11t the trend of the musical education in St. Mary's School, for I see in it the true and unforced handling of this great question. Great music, if approached as one approaches an altar, is a mighty factoJ in the forming of character . Parents ca n greatly help the teacher by being satisfied with short pieces beautifully studied, attention paid to every detail of tone and touch, equality of finger work, perfect time and rhythm, all hand in hand, rather than the more superficial skating over long or too difficult works- in the hope of arriving at what they believe to be standard!' "Quite apart from the inspection the girls have had help with their music as (in addition to the singin~ and music lessons, to the school orchestra which does such spirited work u11der Mi11s · Symonds. to the Musical Apyreciation

Classes . which form paff regu r curriculum) they llave been able to attend co•certs in Bath given by_ such distinguished pianists as Cortot and Moiseivitch, while in Caine, not long ago, we all thoroughly enjoyed Mr. Harold Samuel's recital, and are hoping to hear him again next term. At the same time we feel we owe a debt to Mr. Pullein, who always arranges that the Choral Society ' concerts shall take_place during the term. The performance of "Hiawatha" this week was a great enjoyment. I remember when first I came to Caine I felt how difficult it would be to secure that the girls should hear good music, and attend good public lectures. I feel now that there can be few country schools which 1 are so fortunate as we are in this respect. We have had some' extraordinarily interesting _experience lately. Twice we have secured Miss Dorothy Green, who is so well-known as a Shakespearean actress. She has spent some days at the School reading Shakespeare to us, with results that have far exceeded my hores. I feel sure she has done much, by her beautiful reading, to give colour and life to the plays . she has read that must leave an undying impression upon those who have heard her. "Then the Caine Public Lecture Committee has been fortuna te in securing such first-rate · lecturers as Mrs. PhiliI> Snowden, Mr. Arthur Weigall, and Miss Lillah McCarth,Yall of whom we have heard. I am sure that all parents will agree that the interest -t hese lectures arouse is not by an~ means the least part of our education here. Finally we -cannot be grateful enough that our School shows a I live interest in the League of 'Nations Union. Caine _h as _been extremely fortunate in the speakers that Headquarters have sent us. The addresses of Mr. Whelen, in particular, have been little short of an inspiration. We have also made several most interesting expeditions during the year. Without doubt the most enterpris ing was to Stratford-on-Avon, where a large party spent a night, and, in addition to all the sight-seeing of the town, saw two performances at the Memorial Theatre.' This was a direct outcome of Miss Green's visit; it was an extraordinarily successful experiment, and one which we h<>pe to repeat. "I must say that when I sum up all these delightful happenings there is always a lurking fear-are we providing too many entertainments and inter ests for the girls? Are we making school so exciting a place that home finds it hard to compete with us? I hope and trust not; the delightful accounts I receive of hap:i,y holidays, of the growing helpful' ness of the J<'irls at home, of unselfish! ness and of widening interests, make me feel that the pa,rents are with me in wishing for such advantages for their girls, so many of which cannot be procured at home. But I am open to f'Onviction and were I to hear of discontent at home, of selfishness, of inability to find leisure ' pursuits. of a constant demand f<?r entertainm f'nt. I should certainly feel it rigbt to recon '<irler our prPsent position. . "We are doing our best. also, to provide mter Ps ts outsid e the or<linary curriculum of th " Sch ool t i c-table. 'T'hP domestic science class<>s u nd er '!Ir; . ,. Will ia ~ . are as satisfar.tr,,.y a ~ ever . To tbf'm tbiA t erm we have ~d,f r_<l . inst rudion in iJlin pry-'Miss Gainey l~ i:: v m~ $ most a e hPlp in this direction. I h op<> that · ftr l" t ea you will inspect some of t " at • , a<l ' me l crs of h (>r class. "Our dot P5ti c ~c i P nco, ou r ma idl ess days, OU!' carpentry, p lumb ing, and ;;ardening lessons a!"e, I ho_pe, d.-;i'i ng th~ir work in helping our ~ul~ to bbecome practical, 'resourceful, enter.-rismg, ut ~e must nernr forget that this IS _not the mam purpose for which the School :~ 1 stsd, and . must guard against any tendency un irreshmat;e the importance of the purelv

p an PJeaSeil. t in a School of this sir.e-where so many are quite little girls-ten per cent. should, in one year, be doing work of Higher Local standard, but I should be mucll more Y.roud · still if there were more prevalent a pnae in 1 exact scholarship, and a more wide-spread desire for accuracy, a refusal to tolerate anything slipshod, or mediocre, and a growing realisation of intellectual responsibility. "After four years without a case of infectious illness-a reoord for which we oan only be very thankful- we hAve this year swffered an epidemic of measles. I think it was a great tribute to the !)Xcellent general health of the School that no one was seriously ill and that everyone made so excellent a recovery. I sheuld like to place on record our gratitude to Dr. Ede--to the nurses who came to our help--and, above all, perhaps, to the domestic staff, who did so much for us at so difficult a time. It is a very delightful thing to know that measles was not the only infectious thing in the School at the time, and that the whole domestic· staff, catching the spirit of our welltried friend, Nelly Dean---011r cook-rose ,;plen. di<lly to the occasion. I should like also to j thank all the parents who, by their trust in us, made our task so easy. It is so delightful to know kow much they value the care which Miss Damant and others give to the health of the children. l In th.is connection I must say how very much we appreciate the kindly attitude of our P¥ents and their evident appreciation. I have recently been reading the memoirs of a very famous headmistress in which she mentions the pangs of disappointment that come to every school mistress-in her case many were caused by the fact that when her firls left her, no word came from their parents. Some,' she says, ' it is true, wrote eharming letters, but the majority seemed to regard the training of their girls as a business transaction which had been wound up, and there was nothing further to be said.' I am glad to say that here we do not have that daunting ' feeling of a ' business transaction.' It is the rarest thing not to receive not once only but several times, while a girl is here, and wh4)n she leaves us, the kindest and most apprecfati ve of letters. (Of the ten girls who left us last term there was no single exception to this rule.) It is that that we find so encouraging. We can look practically on all otir parents as friends and staunch supporters f1f the School, certain!}' they help- us in every possible way. Even when-as must from time to time happen in all schoo!S---One finds oneself under the oliligation of saying hard things about a rirl, or taking a strong line, it is indeed rare to find an~thing but sympathy and U11derstanding from ih~ parents. I should like to place that on record because it is that co-operation that makes just all the difference to one's work. " The year has brought us gt'IOd news of our old girls. Several ha,-e been married, or become engaged to be married.. Almost allwhatever they may be doing-seem to be leading busy, happy lives. I am very proud of the Guide work th~t our old girls are undertaking. I know of only one old girl wh• might ho helping in that way and is not doing so. I' am sometimes asked why we do not have companies of Guides in the School, but our days seem EO fully occupied already that I hesitate ·, to add to our activities. To anyone who is inclined to criticise us for our failures in this respect my answer is that as long as I find every available old _girl 'taking up the work as soon as she leaves School, I feel sure that it is not essential to interest the girls in it while still at School. At our- Old Girls' Reunion la Et Eummer, we discussed the matter fully, and came to the same conclusion, while ~ \llBi'IL..tual work.

I ~ .;l."f--

in very spirited debate the Middle School last tei:m v'.>ted .almost solidly against the introduction of Guides. Many of the girls belong to companies at home and the strongest argument that they brought up against a School I company was that they would be missing so much by belonging to a company where everyone came from exactly the same kind of home. I must own that t his point of vie w wa·s new to me, but I feel convinced of its soundness. "In addition to Guide work, our old girls seem to be d oing much very inter esting }Vork. Several are in training; we have five at the Universities; three training in domestic science (one at Glou.uester School of Domestic Science, where she was elected senior student by an overwhelming majority); four at Physical Training Colleges. Many are nursing ; some are tea ching. \Ve are glad to have good news of Nora Samways who, last year, won an open scholarship at the Royal Academy for violin playing. She did quite exceptionally well in her first year there, gaining three bronze medals. Doreen Urwick has done well, passing the London Intermedu:te within a few months of le.wiLI!' school , " In tlus connection there J.s just one warning I feel I ought t o utter. · It is not growing easier, it is growing harder, to find s uitable openings for girls on lea ving school, to suggest &nit.able careers for ,;hem. This being so it is essential that by the time a girl is fifteen or so she and her parents should have some idea of her plans for the future. Not only is this often necessary if we are to fit a girl to enter on any course of training, but it is also advisable as giving a stimulus to t_he ordinary school work-a stimulus that comes from the very fact that the girl is working with sOmethi~ definite in view" " In the plllit two years -we have been for tu" nate in having had ~nly one change on the staff-our games mistress, Miss Wilmott, left us last )'ear in order to obtain work nearer home. She has been succeeded b:y: Miss Montgomery, of Bedford Physical Training College. This term we -are very SO'rry to be losing Miss Stevens-Guille, who, in her three and a-half years here has been so stimulating a teacher of mathematics. Miss Stevens-Guille has been offered importa nt :work at O:dord on the Delegaey for the Training of Teachers, an<l while we are sorry to lose her, we are glad to think that such a·n interesting post came to her un!IO'Ught. I am glad to have an 01>1>0r· tunity of thanking the staff for their spirited and devoted work here. Just as in the domestic staff there is that infectious spirit coming from those who have been so long :with us, so it is on the teaching staff-the school owes more th-an we O'l.n put into ~rds to those who have give,i. long years of service here, especially Miss Alexander. "To the Governors, too, :we are m06t grateful. I hardly dare calculate all the work that Mr. Scott so willingly undertakes for us . But h!' is_ not the only one to g~ve unsparingly of his time. The Archdeacon 1s constantly with us, and we all knO<W that to Mr. Dunne and his kindness and interest in us we owe so many of our extensions. That he_ is leaving Caine is a very great loss to the school, though we are thankful to think he will still remain upon our governing body. " There r em ains only to thank the donors of prizes, who year by yea r sho:w such interest m the school, and finally voice .the. l!'ratitude of us 'Ill to Canon Spoone r for hi s v1t1t to-day . "A~ treasurer o_f the Clergy OT'ph a n Corporahcn , Ca.>J on Spoone r ha!! had ma nv venr~' connection with 8t. Ma rgaret's, Bnshey-the school where I tnught for eight yenrs before ooming to Calne.

CANON SPOONER'$ ADDRESS.

Canon Spooner afterwards gave an address to tiie scholars. In the humc>rC?>us vein he told them that when he found he had to make a few remarks at a 1?irls' school. he thought the best way would be to consult that wonderful oracle at home th~t the married men had the benefit of profiting lJv advice and disciplinary methoq;; -the wife (laughter), and then he had his daughter. In the old days people always tin.ought it was the old people who taught young people how they . should walk; but in these days there was rather a reversal of that maxim; things had got rather topsy-turvy, and they .felt they were rather under the di,rection of younger people. At any rate, one piece of advice to him was not to be too serious, and the other :was "whate>er you do don't attempt t.o be witty" (laughter). So between the two nieces of advice he was rather thrown back on his own resources. Proceeding to speak of education generally. he said it was a subject in which they were all interested; even the young people were interested in the fact that they were being educated . He could go back many years, somewhere about 70, for he was sent to a boarding school at se>en yeus of age, and he could not help contrasting the extraordinary strides that had been made in education since he first was sent to school. He was not at a: >ery distinguished school nor one that was especially well equipped; but that was a dis~dvanfage the boys of those days shared with the publir schools like Eton, Winchester, and Rugby. What they found was a• extraordinary state of things a11 compared with what students f{)<und now. He was, of course, ~oeaking particularly of boys' schools, because then they would hardlv have found a girls' school such as St. Mary's throughout the whole length and breadth of England. The conditions under which boys li>ed were not as ple~sant to the hoys then as to the boys of the present generation. Education generally in the countrl had had an enormoui development in the las Sf'Venty years, and in the case of girls it w.as still more marked than in that of the boys, because girls were then as a rule brought up at home. They hoi.d one go>erness who was supposed to be able to teach them all that ft was necessary to learn-music and all the other subjects. She mu•t have been a very talented woman (laughter). But however clever people were. it w.ag a difficult thing for them to kno'! everythrng, ·a nd that was a very great deficiency in the education of girls in those days. Now t~ey had. an opoortun!ty of going to a _school. hke theirs, well equipped, with beauhfuJ any bedrooms, which he had seen, and which he looked upon :with envy as he thought of the little cramped rooms "he slept in w!ien he w!ls their age. When he was a boy he did not thmk there was any school in Ena· Ia~d that h ·ad fl- bath; the one he was ~t ce~ tamly _had a hip bath, but there were no big baths in any school. The late Archbish'lp 'l'emple, who was a famous headmas:Cor of Rugby, once told him that when he went there he '\""R.~ looked upon as a reformer, and desired to mtrodnce cerhin matters into tbat oldestablished school. He once had the courage to propose that the governor" should go to the expense of putting in a bathroom, but the governors thought 1t was a most useless and unnecessary expense! (laughter). One even went so far as to say th1t the boys did not want a bath, and that he did not think he had had a bath since he was a boy (renewed laughter\. In that respect, for there was the saying

that cleanliness wa.~ next to !!'odliness. schools had improved very much. and he believed all well-appointed schools had the ad>antage and luxury of baths. There was another great improvement since his school days-and that was the relations between the te1cher11 and the pupils. Yea rs ago the idea, of really friendly relations betweE>n the two was almost unknown. The famous Thomas Arnold (of Rugby) was the first great mind that sa:w the defect of the old system. which was that boys and masters were considered to be natur-al enemies, instead of as they should be, natural friends. In the old days boys always thought it was part of their esta.blished morality, and a fair and proper thing to do, to cheat, hoodwink, or deceive their masters, because it was said that all things were fair in love and war, and if boys were in a state o4' war with. their masters the more they got the better of them the better they were pleased. 'Ihe great change that had come between teachers .and pupils was largely due to the ex.ample that Arnold set, by showi1!-!l: what could be done by treating boys in a different way. He said if you want the boys under you to be truthful you must trust them, and not be always looking out for wrong things. From that time forward there had been this great change in our system of education. There was now a complete confidence between the teacher and the taught and it did not require a great effort of imag.ination te see what an enormous difference that must have produced upon the general thought and character of our boys and girls. There w·aS another great defect in the old English system, and that was the idea that boys were sent to school to be crammed with a certain amount of knowledge, chiefly of Latin and Greek and that the master did not have very much to do with the _boy's character and his development. ';l'hat agarn :was largely changed through the rnfluence of Arnold, and now, instead of it bein~ supposed that all a teacher had to do was to give them ·a certain modicum of knowledge on certain subjects, it was felt that a large and very important part of education was character, which in the long run told more than any amou:r;it of knowled_ge or even ability. That was a thrng the modern masters and mistresses thouglit much of. Of course they were pleased when scholars distinguished themselves in various walks of life, but he believed the real satisfaction to them was to feel that they; were training up a generation of :young people who would be good citizens of their oountry and good servantS> of their God. ';l'hose wer!l changes of enormous importance m the equipment of schools compared with the past, and still more in the aims which masters and mistresses set before them. There was another change in connection with boys-' '.!chools, which generally :were not happy places m th~ old days. There was a great deal of unha pprness amongst boys because there was allow~d to ?e a great deal of bullying. He , mentioned rnstances of more or less refined cruelty which used to be practised,· particularly dealing with teasing and ridicule. He k!1ew boys wou_ld be boys and girls would be girls, but he pornted out to the girls that there · were .many :ways in which thev could make life less pleasant fo their fellows than would otherwise be the case, and though he believed there was little of that going on at St. Mary's yet human nature being what it was, there' was always ·a certain amount of temptation to the young, and if they disliked a person, or bore a grudge, the:i; were aipt to show it by their w_oi:ds and actions. He warned them against g:!rng away to such t~w.{l.ta:ttolls aa that. 'Ihey came there to be taught, and they had advantages from people who were more experienced of the world than they were and who were able to he\p them in an infinity of :ways: What they earned away from scliool was not so much the actual k~owl_edge, important though that was, though it did not necessarily form character, but what they thcught out for themselves. was very much more important. That Pra!Jtically determined what th~r lives would be. i:r;i the future. Education in its proper , mission. was not forcing into people's minds a certam amount of knowledge, like :water into a brook, but it was teachina each individual per!!C!n that which might call" out the best that was m them; and if education was successful in that, it was the greatest benefit to any boy or gir~. He impressed upon them that their education was only just beginning at school, a.nd that it should continue throughout their lives, and concluded by wishing the pupils a happy Christmas and pleasant holidays. The Chafrman afterwards proffered a ,few remarks, observing that he was especially pleased to hear of the high standard of music reached at the school. He added that for some years after he came to Caine he bore the heat and burden of the day in regard to the school, but all those amdeties were now over. The Chairman imparted a few words of advice to the pupils, and cheers were afterwards given for Canon Spooner, the Governors, Miss Matthews, and the rnhool.-Several of the pnJ?ils sang a couple of carols, and tea was afterwards taken.

Mr. Bagshawe has made a very thorough study of bird and animal life in the Antarctic regions. His knowledge is first hand, and he has spent a year on the Antarctic Continent and eight months with Whalers. Besides Whales and Penguins, he also tells of his own personal experiences. A year on an Antarctic Penguin Rookery has made the Lecturer an undoubted authority on these quaint birds. The Photographs, 100 Slides, taken by the Lecturer, are full of interest and illustrate all the points dealt with in the Lecture. Door s open at 7, to commence at 7.30 p.m.

Tickets-3/- Reserved ; 2 / 6 Reserved; and 1/-, may be obtained fro 111 MeRsrs . Heath , 'l 'he Stra ud , Cain e, or from t he Hon. Sec ., J. E . Wood, Stanl"y H om e, Caine.

A_room that's known to very few, ~re !!!!a• not woman, has to do. The door you know, of that I'm sure, And clue you'll find behind the door.

If all the others have been guessed I'm sure that you can find the rest. Find it and bring it back to me Who'll be the first I want to see. To find it you a room must search. One window (West), and on a perch N~ar lockers facing North you'll find The treasure that I have in mind.

ST. MAR,Y' S SCHOOL.-A p r esentation was made yesterday to Mr. and Mrs. Ne wbury, whc> are leaving the school after fif teen years' loyal service. The head girl presented them with 8.1 cl ock, sui tahl y in s~ril-ied, and on behalf of thegovernors t he h eadmistress handed theni a cheque, saying that all at St. Mary's wished them much happiness in their new home. Jt'ortunately this is quite near the school, a bousebelonging t o the governors, and it is hoped that: former pupils and others connected with th& school will thus be able to keep in touch with those who have se.rved .St. Mary's so faithfully.

LECTURE II CHINA. Dr. Harold Hahn.-i, of the Shantung Christian University. lectured at St. Mary's school on Thursday evening on The Present Condition of Chilla. The meeting was held in the school hall and despite the inelemency of the weather, a large number of the public attended. 1'he ' meeting was presided over by the Rev. R. G. \Vheeler, who was supported "b1 the Revs. C. Drn Drury (Heddington), A. E. G. Peters (Bremhill). Miss Mathews (headmistress). and .Mr·. C. 0. Gough. Dr. Balme. in his lecture. dealt in an extremely eloqu~nt manner with China to-day. contrasting it with the condit-ion of tw ... nty years ago. Christianity. he said, was the only solution to Urn problem. hoth political and social. The l{reat intellectual awakening which had taken place among the people had pro,·idm a situation of imminent peril. at the same time of glorious opportunity. The present antiforeiirn feeling in China was largely due to the fact that the edncoted n"'n had a bnrning sense of resentment against their~ treatment in the past by the Powers and the stigma of inferiority which had been placed 11pon them l,y treaties of eightv years ago. He believed if the Government 'of this country and the other signatories to the Washington Treaty dealt with China in the spirit of love and blotted out the old fa-eaty conditions and sense of inferioritv, all wauld be well. Dr. Balme concluded with a reference to the work of tho Shantung Christian University, 80 per cent. of whose graduates gave tbemSAlves to sPrvice among their fellow c•rnntry men and women. He showed the immense hold which Christianitv had already upon the affairs of China, and the work which still remained to he done. He referred to the valuable help the people· of Caine had afforded to the work and appealed for their prayers and help in the great task which lay ahead.

Remarks on Children's Competition set October 9. We had some lovely entries this week, especially from the elder competitors, but as we want to leave space to print five out of the six prize-winning Songs About Falling Leaves, we must not expand into proper appreciation of the rest. We therefore do no more than observe that th_e ~e~ses o_f Margaret Farrington? . Alice Darch, . M. F. Hort, Virg1ma Child, Kathleen Berdoe, V1v1an Ash, Edna Ward, k Gowers-; Joan Chadwick, Jean Heaps, Peggy Barne and Mary Talbot m Class A, and Mary Jones, Edward Upton, Doris Williams, T. Carroll, Ronald Thorver and Barbara Leighton in Class B, contained splashes of poetry which caU.Bed them to shine out among their fellows. -The prizes are divided as follows : Class A.-under 16. tst Prize (one guinea).-J. Leighton, 13, Marlboro' Rd., Southport. I saw the spirit of Autumn descending over the earth to-day, Leaving the leaves in stately grandeur, for their leaves had fluttered away. 'l'inted a russet brown were the leaves, as they played in the breezes so cold, And Autumn stole noislessly over the earth, painting her red, brown and gold . From the twitter of birds and the rustle of grass, peace has spread over the earth, And the joy of the woods, and the creatures asleep, and the clear low ripple ~~~.

Are sounds that the heart rejoices to hear, and eounds that are peaceful and old; 路 And Autumn stole noiselessly over the earth, painting her red, brown and gold. Age 13.

2nd Prize (10/6).-Gerda Jackson, Lowther College, Rhuddlan. The leaves are falling, falling, Down from the oak and ash ; Down from elm and maple, Down with a flutter and flash. 'l'he leaves are falling, falling, Orange, red and brown, Down from elm and maple, Down,-down,-down.

Age 13.

3rd Prize (a book).-Anne Le Mesurier, St. Mary's School, Calne. 0 leaves that. are iaiimg on winds of bcio68r, Of summer's lost glories the first and the last; Emblems of joys that have withered and failed us, Hopes that are shattered and love that is past; The message you bring is of hope, though of sadness, For we see the brown buds on the twigs you have left; Promise of spring that shall help us through winter; God will not leave us for ever bereft. Age 15.

-'-~ .. -, .Q!t.

The election to fill the four vacancies on the Town Council was held on Monday, antl, iu view of the discussions that have .been taking pla-Oe regarding the playing by bands in the .Recreation Ground on :Sunday evenmga, moH~ interest than usual was taken in the contest_ 'fhree of the four retiring members ;igaia placed their services at the disposal-of the rate.payers-the Mayor (Mr. A. J. Strange), Mr. c;1em Cole, and lfr. A. G. Angell. Mr. W. _J. Drew, the other retiring councillor, did not again come forward owing to the claims of business, but three new nominees sought the su.flr&IJes of the electors-Kiss Matthews (the .p1·inc1pal of St. Mary's School), Mr. William Stanley, and Mr. Jabez Wiltshire, t a bein~ the first occasion on ll""hich the :ratepa7ers had had the opportunity of cast~ their Totes for. a lady. '!'here were two polling booths at the Town Hall and Corn Exc.llange, _preeided over by AlderlllAD 1'' . C. Henly and Mr. G. C. Barnett, with Messrs. A. Ponting and M. E. Collis aa poll clerks. '!'here are l,!;92 voters on the m~cipal regiliter, aud they proceeded to th& polDDg station8 in goo.cl numbers during the day, while after tea voting was somewhat brisk. Altogether 1,069 recorded their votee, giving a percentage of 66, which is a good figure for a municipal election. Some while after nine o'clock Alderman Henly, ·who acted as returning officer, decliu'ed the result as follows, iA the presence of a good. crowd :A. J. Strange ··811 Clem Cole ••• ••• 638 A. G. Angell ·••• Ni Wm. Stanley ..• ·611.1 ~Elected.)

.JU- Wilt.hire ••• Miss E. M. ~tthewa •..

Afterwards Mr. Strange propoiied a 'rote ol thanks t.o the returniq Olicer, and in the & few obeervations said he tliought the majority he had received vindicated the policy he had adopted in regard to. Sunday musio.-Mr. Cole seconded, imd l&. Stanlq. support.eel the thanks to Alderman Henlr. The result, in eo far as the three old councillors were concerned, was no surprise; it wna generally felt that the Mayor and M-n. Cole aad Angell woulit be returned, the 0Dl1 doubt be~ as to which of the three would head the poll. The huge majorit1 of 273 obtained by the Mayor over the second hif'hest candidate is a surprise to everybody. H18 811 is, so far ~we can ascertain, the highest number ·ev.er. recorded for one candidate at Calne, and shows that the ratepayers as a whole heartil1 supporti the Mayor's policy in favouring Sunday music,. for four out of every five who ·w ent to the poll voted for him. llessre. Cole and Angell ran each other very cl<>ffe, there being only th1 ee votes between them. Mr. Stanley secured fourth seat with a decided: majori!1 over Mr. Wiltshire, but the placing of Miss Matthews well at the bottom of the poll is diJlicult to understand. She is connected with aeveral move1 menta in the town, and has done much useful i work here, but apparently the inhabitants felt" that the time had not yet arrived when a ladJ: · ' should adorn the Council Chamber.

CALNE. MUSICAL SERVICE AT THE PARISH

I: hersTheofconductor (:~~~!.' Pullein) and memthe Musical Society aI'e to be congratu-

; lat..'<! upon the excellence of the programme of sacred music which they presented in the parish church on Monday evening. 'Ihe works were well rendered, though perhaps in one or two places tbe chorus was hardly up to the ! standar'd of former services. The soprano (Miss I Fifine de la Cote)) :provided a rare treat. She I has an exquisite voice, of clear bell-like tones, . and her technique and voice control were ,per' feet. Seldom, if ever, has a singer been heard in Caine who can compare with her in the beauty of her singing. Mr 's . Dan Collen, of course, always delights with her violin playing, and her inclusion in the list of principals was, as always, welcomed. Mr. Lewin Spackman was at the organ, and Mr. Pullein wiel<hid the baton in his usual masterl_y manner, ha.v ing his forces WP.ll under control. The programme opened with Parry's ·•Jerusalem," after which the Archdeacon offer~ prayer for the right use of J>rai se. Mendels.50hn's "Judge me, 0 God" (Psalm 43), sung unaccompanied, fol· lowed, after which Mrs. Dan ColJen played "Preislied,, (Wagner) with organ accompaniment. Miss de la Cote's first solo wa~ "Angels , ever bright and fair" (Handel) . The chorus ' then rendered "How lovely are Thy dwellings," Requiem (Brahms). The next item was the Mendelssohn motet, "Hear my prayer'," sung by Miss de la Cot~_, su~ported by the chorus, whi ch was heard to particular advantage in this number. Mrs. Collen followed with two violin solos, Andantino (Martine·Kreisler) and Minuet (Handel). Holst's Psalm, "Lord, Who hast made us for Thine own," sung by the chorus, was followed by Miss de la Cote's rendering of Gounod's" Ave M'l.ria," to which )frs. Collen ·played the violin o'!,,ligato and Mr. Pullein the organ accom_p animent. This was perhaps the gem of the evening. The choro.s sang "The Wildernes s " (S. S. Wesley). 'l'he opening quartet was sung by Mr. C. Miles (tenor), Miss de la Cote (soprano), Mr•. M. Barnett (bass), and Mrs. W. Dixon (contralto). Mr. Barnett also r endered the bass solos in a pleasmg manner. For the concluding quartet Mr. J. Drewett and Mr. C. Miles sang the tenor part , and Mrs. Clem Cole the contralto, the other principals -b eing as before. During the singing of the hymn " Praise, my soul, the King of Heaven" a collection was taken to defray expenses ; this yielded the SlllDl of £15 Os • .6d. Theo concludin; items were "Rejoice greatly " (" Messian "), Handel, sung by Miss de la Cote ; the chorus "Her·e yet awhile " (St. Mat! thew Passion), Bach; and the 16th Century • Praver, "0 Lord, support us all the day long [ of this troublous life," sung by the chorus un- I acc_'?mpanied to music composed by Mr. Pullein. ! 'I ne attendance was not so large as usual, hut 1j this may be accounted for by the fact that the wintry conditions made travelling unpleasant. ThosE', however, who did brave the elements to 1 I attend were .more tha~warded for the elort. , !'

MARY'S SCHOOL, CALNE, September, 1925.

My dear Old Girls, I want to send this letter to you with the "News Sheet," as there is a good deal I should like to say which I feel is better, perhaps, left out of the "News Sheet" itself. First of all I want you all to read most carefully the notice "To Old Girls" which appears on page 7.

I feel that it is a matter which concerns each one, and I am very anxious to have your

opinion about it.

Many of us are coming to the conclusion, now that the body of Old Girls is

becoming so big, that it ought to be a stronger body, and that strength would come to it were it more united, and were the Association more formal, more official. I think we all feel that there are at least two ways in which we should keep in touch with the School; the first by subscribing to the "News Sheet," and the second by uniting in some way to hand on to others something of the great benefits, and the many chances our school life has given us.

That is why I hope so much that you will give your support to the U.G.S. Now what has lately been a real disappointment to me is that the Secretary of the first

U.G.S. group, D. Morrison, reports that so many Old Girls are so unbusinesslike that a large proportion, almost a third, of the members do not pay their subscriptions, and that after one or more reminders.

I have lately wondered whether it might not be better perhaps to simplify the

collection of subscriptions by making them one , a definite yearly subscription to the Old Girls' Association that should include the News Sheet, and a donation to the U.G.S., leaving perhaps a margin for something else definitely connected with the School, e. g . the Scholarship Fund. wonder very much what you will all think of this?

I wish you would write to tell me!

Now I come to another point, and this too is one on which I feel very strongly.

How is it

that D. Morrison and the Treasurer of the News Sheet have to report so many unanswered post cards; how is it that I find invitations to The Reunion unanswered; how is it that I also find

Old Girls failing to acknowledge birthday letters, and so on?

Is it because there has been

something wrong, something not definite enough, in the school training on such matters? I hope not, and yet I think perhaps we have failed you th_ere-failed to make you see that the real reason for such "unbusiness" habits must be in a want of thoughtfulness for others. may be (I fear it is) accompanied by a horrible self complacency !

In some cases it

Do you know the person

who says "My friends all realise what a bad letter writer I am," or "I know I am unbusinesslike ! "

If you are bound to say it please regard it as a shameful confession, not as a source o"f

pride or complacency.

Would that I could convert that complacency into dissatisfaction at least !

For so much is involved: it is not only a question of efficiency, it is also a question of thought-, fulness for others, a question of good manners.

And if there is one thing above all others that I

would wish our Old Girls to be known for it is- to quote the School Prospectus- for their " habits of responsibility, order and courtesy." Now will each of you try to take this a little bit to heart?

Some of you are splendid

correspondents, some of you are as keen now as you were the day you left school to respond to the calls made upon you, some of you want to renew that keenness. Read the notice To Old Girls, and then sit down and write to me, tell me what you 1 eally feel about an Association and what you would suggest. And forgive your Head Mistress for speaking strongly! Your affectionate friend, E. P.S.-There are two practical ways in which you can respond. M . Hulbert's appeal do so now! Sale of Work.

MATTHEWS.

The second way is by paying your News
