'!'he u.im of the Governors in ma king these purchases a nd putting up new buildings is not any way to destroy the charact er of the school by making it .bigger. As a matter of fa.ct, they ha1ve !Passe d a r esolution which is on our minutes tha t thi s is t o r ema in a Sllliall school of not mor e tha n 100 boa rd ers (hear, hear). We are convin ced tha t this has been one cause of the gi·ea t success of the school in the pa st-a sc hool lar\l"e enough t o ha ve qu alifi ed mi stresses m ever y c1epart.ment, a nd also h aving sufHcient member s for th e developm ent of character in per so na l r,elationshiip and in games, and yet sma ll enough for ea ch girl t o ha ve th at inc!ividu a l car e nnd attention which a r e so essential. So mu ch for th e past . One word a bout the futu r e. If only we co uld see our way , whi ch we d o not at present , we s hould like to er ect a new <linin.g-hall and a new kitchen. Also, a school hall is very ba dly need ed. ·' l'hi s is th e only hall where th e sc hool ca n meet a ll togeth er, and the only place where we can have such gatherings as thi s. Besid es, thi s is onl y a t empora r y structu re of wood, a nd will ha ve to be r eplaced one day. I only wish tlrnt d ay would come soon , but I fea r it will not be so unless some gener ous donor will ·huild it fo r us. I think I can say, if thi s wa s to h a ppen, the Govm·nors would ma ke another ventur e of faith and build the dining-hall a nd kifohen premises. I ha ve t old vou some of the things we ha ve done rluring th e past year , a nd some of our hopes for th e futu re . I ca nnot close without striking a n ot e of gr a htud e. Looking back over the 60 years of the sch ool' s exi st ence, and how it ha s been brought through ma ny ch a nges a nd ,vfoi ss itud es of fortune t o its present 1p ositi on, we rony, without pr esumpt ion a nd in a ll sincerit:v , attribute it a ll, with N ehemiah of old, to th e "good hand of our God upon us ." And as Goel works through human h a.nd s, we r emember - especia ll:v on th.is All Souls' Day-with thankful hearts in the la ngu age of our school pra yer, "those h:v whose faith and works this school waR begun an d carried on." Wha t ev·er ch a nges we may make in our ma t erial surroundings, we hope to ma intain th e same type of school in all esseuti alS-to fo ster th e sam e high id eals of life and cha r act er whi ch h ave distinguished it in the past. W e h a ve no fear in this r espect while th e pr el'lent headmistress. who for 20 yen r R h ns guid ed its fo r,tun es a nd con tributed in the full est d egree t o its progress a nd p rosperity, continu es a.s its h ead (applau se). While sh e r ules and directs . I can say wh at Lord F ish er on ce said <1>'bout an oth er m a tter : "We lll

I n his st a t ement· th e Archd eacon said as Cha irm an of th e Govern or s he was expect ed on thi s occasion every year to say something about th e .sch ool look i ng a t it from t he ir angl e of view. '!'h er e wa s a great d eal which mig11t be said th iR yea r , but he was not goin g lo say it at all. H e should be hr ief. H e sa w it sta t ed last wee k th at whil e a clergyma n prayed tha t hi s Rermon might he f!O Od, hi~ congregation p rayed tha t i.t might be ·short (la nf!liter). 'Phi s last yea r, he went on , th e history d ~h e school ha s been memorabl e· in ma.n y ways. Th er e lrns bee n progr ess a ll along th e lin e.

THE .SCHOOL YEAR.--COMPB.EHE:KSIVE Jt.EVIEW.

·Miss Matthews1 before pre11eDtin.1r her report, 18id ahe did DOI: quite iP.89 'lritla tlae Arch· deaooa that 8he had baD hMdmtstre. tor It years. She proceeded to echo •hat had been Mid about tlie need for a larger hall. Because of that need, she said, they had not been able to invite anybody that day exce.pt 1p arents and friends, a nd hacl'had to leave out Oalne friends a nd "old girls." It was a pleasure to have the J}a r ents there, a nd she liked to look u_pon tha St. Ma ry's Speech Day as a fa mily ga therini:: of parents. Miss Ma tthews conti ni.ie d :" Yo1i will h ave n oticed one ch a nge in th e pr oceedings; thi s year we a r e not awa rding p1·izea. Our fri en ds h ave been so gener ous to u s i.n th e past in tha t r es.pect, and have a lwa ys s hower ed .p rizes upon us; .h11t ea ch year it has become m or e and mm·e diffi cult t o feel sur e th a t the ,pr izes wer e r eally won by th e i::irls most deserving of th em. In a sohool wh ere m a rk s a r e unknown . it js viery diffi cult to gflu ge exa ctly ~1 girl's positi on , a nd it never seems to me t o be fair t o let exa min a.tion r esults he the sol e gui de . So m a n:v extr eme.ly d eservini:: peopl e do not d o th em selves justice in examinatiorns. while the best r esults a re occasiona lly-T am inter ested t o see h ow only occasionally-vbtained ib v those whom we kn ow ha ve not r eally deserved them. So after a great d.eal of consid eration. we Jrniv·e com e t o this conclusi on-thus comill g into line with 1practicallv all th e other sch ool s of thi s type. I am ,gla.d t o say, however, th at the Go ver nors a r e continuing their pla n of r ewa rding those who hnve br ought honour t o t he School , and nre giving prizeR t o th e girl s who have won distin ction a.t th e univer sities. But though this is no longer a prize-giving-, we would not drop it altogether . as we feel it is incumh en t upon u s year by :vear t o let you know h ow the School is progressing: while a t the same tim e to sec m·e a speaker lilrn Sir Ern 0st Gowers , whom we a r e RO Prou d t o h a.ve with u s to-cl ay. is of ·8ill,ch va.Tue t o th e Sch ool t h at we could ill fori::o it. ~ will di stribute the cer tifi cat es won duri.ni:: th e year. T_,a st tim e we· m 0t was on tl1 e occasion of th e School ' R 60th hirthd a.v, wh en we sat, As von r emember. in a huge m a,rquee with umbrellas open t o defend us from t orrents of rain. But in s oit<l of th e wea tl1 er. our spirits wer e not d a.mped , a nd o.f one thing I am certain, that

that happy birthday gathering gave the School a. gr ea t illllpetus, a nd the year that has followed it has been quite the most eventful year in th e life of the School-an annus nrirabilis (a .v ea r of wonders) indeed. First and foremost, it has been a year of a ma zing expansion, not ind eed in number s, and I think every friend of the school will r ejoice with us in the decision of the Governors to resist the temptation to expand in that way. W e are proud of bein,g a compa ratively sma ll school; proud becaus e we feel convinced tha t numbers would not add to our h a ppiness, would not add to our greatness. W e beli eve tha t a sm a ll seihool can be a great one, and that is the idea l we h a ve set ourselves-to grow , not in number s, but in the things that will some day make for greatness. Our expansion this yea r has .been ex ceptional. Some of us still working her\) r emember the days when our playing lields consisted of one netball ground and of a single t ennis court- tha t not even full-sized-and it seemed an unbelieva ble piece of good fortune when, through the gen erosity of Mr. Dunne, our most excellent friend, we secured our lacr0<>se .field, a nd now, a ll in a minute as it wer e, by the addition of llt acr es, we suddenly find our pla ying fi elds t r ebled . It ha s been a lmost overwihelming- the secu r ing of la nd so admirably adapted for playing fields, and holdi11J::: such immense possibilities for t he future. W e owe a deep , a very deep, debt of gratitude to our Governors for m a kmg po96ible su ch expansion. " 'l'lh en we rejoice this yea r in the r eally bea utiful a dditions to our buildings; our enlar,ged common-room, our two n ew classrooms, our r eally beautiful dormitory, a nd the most succe96ful qua rters for the maids , ar e without doubt the finest expansions we have yet made. That they a dd immensely t o the dignity of our buildings, .both without and within, non"e can deny. We h a ve been most fortunate in our ar chitect (.Mr. Rudma n), whose plans ha ve proved so ex(;eptionally attractive, and we ar e glad to have this opportunity of t hanking him to-day. At the same time, we should like to voke our g-ratitude to lVlr. Blackford and his men. 'l'hat we dr ead ed a term of building operations I will not d eny, but our fea.rs were groundle<'l s; so quiet, so competen t: so thou~ht ful for our interest were Mr. vromley the for em an) a nd the m en who worked so sp endidly under him. W e are ind eed for tuna t e in Caine in those who work for us . '!'her e is, of co urse, on ly one way in which the School can really r espond to a ll t he work t ha t is bein. g done on our beha lf by our Go ~ rnor s . for llll these additions have immensely<added ' to their la bours- by our architect; by the m en who worked to his pla ns-a.nd that is by ma kins sure that tJhe wo1·k inside the School i·eaches

It hu, therefore, "ti.a

never ne ao well. " In the school certificate examination, though we sent in last year a smaller number of candidates than usual, once again everyone was successful. Four of the t en obtained honours, and we ga ined distinctions in French (3), Latin, divinity, music, a nd art. All those who enter ed for bhe housecraft ce rtifi cate of the Na tional Society of Domestic Studies also passed (two obta ining first-class ce rtifica t es) as did our four <Jandidat es for t h e ce rtificate' of the Institute of Hygiene. But the gr ea test encouragement cam ~ when we sent up thr ee girls for the sdhola rslu p a nd entrance examina tion at Girton Coll ege, an exa mination in wh ich t he competition is alinost overwhelming. 'l'he first p1a ce in modern languages, with a m a jor schola r ship , was won by P eggy Wilson; the first plu.ce m !history, with a n exhibition was ':"on ~Y Vi olet Armstron g!· a nd a vacancx~ also for histor y, by Cla r e Ma lory . P egi;y Wilson did so well th-at s he was also the wmner of a Bell E xhi bi tion , a U niv er sit y a ward open a like to m en a nd wom en ; while Violet Armstrong was successful in obtaining a Wiltshir e County Council scholarship. But I know you will a gree that these distinctions were all th e more enha n ced by a letter tha t we received from the Mis tress of Girton, in whi ch , while wel<Joming these tJhree, she wrote in the wa rmest ton es of the girls we ha ve a lr ead y sent to h er; the tJhree who h ave just gone up ha.ve been set a ,;er y high st a nd ard by t h eir pr edecessors. 'l'wo others of last yea r 's Sixth Form have also gon e on to the Uni versity- Winifr ed Os.m a!l Jones to read scien ce a t Brist ol, Elspeth Mmm s t o r ea d modern la nguages a t King's College, London . It is a gr eat thing fo r the S~hool to have su ch r eally sound work in t h e ~ixth For m , and. we are gl a d .t o think th at m the present Sixth we h ave girls prepa ring for th e Univer sity in science, mod ern la ngu a ges, history, a nd E ngli sh . '!'hough the pupils who r ~ ach. the Un~ve r sity a r e only a very sm all mmor1ty-a pomt I do not in t h e leust deplore, as I a m convinced tha t th a t is only as it should be-~h e fact tha t we ha ve som e working with th a t end in view provides an impetus to good work a ll through the School.

We know perfectly well that the majority will never reach a very high stancla.rd of work, but the one thing we a ll hope for is that a gll'l shall take a growing pr.ide in, her work, ~i.n? r efuse to tolerate anytlnng shp8ho~, or mediocre. Apart from th e regular curriculum, we have again been fortunat~ m. our many outside interests. Some clays mev1tably stand out in the School year more especially one .clay; last Decemb er wheri Sir Michael Sadler invited our prefects to spend a day in Oxford among ihis pictures. Golden clays., tCJ?, ar~ those on which we acc:ept the hospi tality of Mr., .and Mrs. Dunne, at Denford, or go o~ expedit10ns to Stratford-Qn-Avon. Our <.mtside lec.turers are also of the great est help 111 preventm_g us from becoming n arrow in our outloo~. i:lome of our old friends return to us year after year -Mrs. Harrower, Mrs. Richa-rclson, Mr. A.ston ; while this year we h ave been especially mterested in lectur es on tlhe Germany of to-day by Mr Ernest 'fennant on India ,by Mr. Edward Viliiers, and on the American situ a tion by Professor Newell. "We are again fortunate in having very few changes to r ecord on the staff. Miss Clephan came to h elp us through a difficulty and stayed for a whole year, teaching English and German. W e shall not soon forget h er, as. she brought to the School rich stores of expenence which she shared with us freely before ret•urning to South Africa last August. She has bee.n succeeded as English mistress by Miss I nglis (Liverpool University). In July, however, ~v e lost one who h ad g1ven w1hole-hearted service to the School for 19 years. N ever had any ,school a more devoted friend and never any headmistress a more loyal colleague than Miss Grover . Her resignation-all the more regretted as being due to ill-b ealth--ihas 11'1:ade a great break with the past. What she did. for us has been summed up by one of t h e old girls, wlho wrote: "Others brought us dates we have forgotten sums we can no longer do, words we cannot n~w decline, but she taught us tq use our hands, to dig in gardens, . to see flow e1:s, to hear birds to hunt for sqmrmy thrngs rn ponds and .ah these things we can still do . She showed us the beauty <lf the countrysid e ·s he loved and photographed, and men to-day are learning that in the countryside lives their truest i·ecr ea tion.' In Miss Grover's place as seograp!hy mistress we welcome Miss .Rygate (St. lrugh 's College, Oxford, ,Diploma n1 Geo- . .graphy). Others who have jomed us since our .last Speech Day a r e Nurse Marks, who lbas ~roved so efficient and devoted a matron· and ts ti.I'

Ash , to whom we owe so muc.h, in charge of · the sanatorium. '!'hose of you who have h ad dauglhters at St. Bridget' s will r ealise h?w . difficult it was to say good -bye m .July to Miss Cates, who fo r ten years had clone so much for our ,c omfort. In h er place we welcome Mrs. J3eamish. "One very delightful feature of the school is the way in which all our n ewcomers so quickly ide ntify themselves with our· interests. It is impossible .to believe that any <?the~· school ·h as a more fnendly and enthusiastic staff; whet:iher they have been h ere for many years or are c<lmparative newcomers, they give tJhemselves so wholeh eartedly to the School, not only in term time , but in many cases by giving up part of their holidays to co.urses conne~t ed with th eir work, and the tech111que of teachmg. Of our 'old girls' we constan tly have good news. Many we see as they visit us in great numbers (sometimes bringing with them their 'husbands or their ch ildren) . We had over 80 here last year, while over 50 met at our annual Te-union in London last January. Several h ave won distin ctions during the year; one especially, Margaret Rice, by being the only woman at Cambridge to obtain a :first"class in th e Historical T ripos . She has since been awarded the first scholarship at the Cambridge Training College for Post.Graduate students. Ali ce Le l\fesuri er won her M.A. London University as a result of research work in histo,r y, and he,r treatise has been r ecommended for publication. Anne Le Mesurier h as been granted a ' Commonwealth Fund of America Scholarship ' ,of £200 to enable her to study psychology at the London S'chools of economics. Isabel Martineau- our firRt medical student-has won dis· tinction. in both pathology an d bacteriology in 1i er degree examination, and has been elected as the Undergraduate R,e presentative on to, the Court of Governors of the University O·f Birmingham. Monica Hill has a most important -post on the staff of the women's side of Toe H, and last week was entirely responsible for or·i:ranisinrr the huge festival at the Albert Hall. Ann Wood has an engagement with the B .B.C., 'Singinl! in the Octet. Other 'old girls ' have secured qualific11tions during the year in almost 1wery nrofession and calling, and though we have not yet attempted to reach Australia in three days, we can claim a pilot's A cer tificat e. "Hut no list of qualifications obtained, nor distinctions won, can really be a criterion of the value of the education provided here. The

roost important things are not so easily gauged. We want to feel we are sendin!l' out girls .who are widely a lert und inte,r ested m many thmgs, girls who ure ready not only for their profession -if one is to be theirs- but also able to occupy th~ ir leisure time proMabl~ . VX e do not wa nt girls who are specialists m their one subject, to the exclusion of all e_lse, for as Dr. Vaughan is reported to h11ve sa1d at a speech day last week: ''.!'he one subject person is an unutterable bore, and has no buffers to m eet the shocks of life.' I have always been con· vinced that we cannot provide too .many O'H;tlets for leisu re hours, and that is why, m accepting these m~gniticent ;new playing-fields, I do rnalise that m them hes a danger. If they keep u~ from seeking interests in tho countryside, if they restnct our ram bl es ~n Bowood_ our long walks on t he Downs, they will deprive us from profiting to the full from our most valutible asset-the glonous country by which we arn surrounded . We want to lea,rn t o use a right our· l eis ur~ out.of-doors ,; to' realise it need not always be associated with a ball, nor even with a horse far less wit h a car! There 11re, too, long stretch~ of time when indoor occupations shou ld claim us. How are we providirtg for these? To what creative use will the girls who leave us be able t o put their leisure? I think we can say with truth that the School is providing more opportunties than before for development on the right lines both in art and music. ·we do not keep the best art producing during the year. for an exhibition on Speech D11y, but you will see sol!'.le specimens in the studio which I hope you w.ill visit after tea. I feel s ure that, under Miss Hendry really good work, of. f1 varied natur!l, is being attBIDpted. The musical st 0;ff, ha& this year been strnngthened by_ the ad.dit,ion to 1.t of Miss Toni1mson (A.R.C.M. both 111 cello and "piano). while Miss Moore (A.RC.M., L .l'l,.A.M ... former!~' a sub-professor at .the Ro.yal. Academy of Music) has succeeded )\'1lss Chnstme Allen, who resigned on her marriagl!, as teacher of the violin. Though we are still for from the standard we should like to reach in that respect, I think that during the year there }las been a quicken. ing of interest and appreciation. A great stimulus was provided last December by the choral festival held i n Bath in which we took part. Six schools combined in the happiest way under the conductorsh1p of .Mr. Regmald Jacques. We have also been given chances of hearing r eally good music in the School. notabl,v last week, when we ,had a visit -f.-om t

W etee

Quartet, from - Ytenntt,

came with Miss Valentine Ord e. It· was a great pleasure to hen r from h er a fterw11rds :•We did all enjoy playing to your School so much. Vve were all so much impressed with the quality in the listening capacity of .the girls. lt says lt great deal for the musical atmosphere of you r Schnol.' \ 'Viele r eading in leisure hours is being done b y the m~jority of the girls, and those not only the elder ones. Our Bodington ;tlfomorial Library is becoming more and more a centre in the School. We felt it a real honour that we were recommended for inspection by the Board of Education to tlie panel set up by the Carn egie Trust to enquire into school libraries. The investigators who came to visit us expressed themselves as being delighted with a ll they saw here, especially ~vith the definite. time each .day .set aside for s1lent readmg, wlnle the readmg hsts kept by the girls came in for favourable comment. "Other outlets are found in our usual hobbies-needlework, dressmaking, applied art, le1J.therwork, carpentry, and so on. This year we have revived ou r interest in plumbing, and h a ve a class .working with great interest at all sorts of jobs which I hope may prove of use in the _future. One interesting event this year was the determination of the School to send the head-girl on the Public Schoolgirls' tour to Australia. Elizabeth \Valler proved an excellent head-girl, and we were delighted to be able to raise £5-0 to help her to this wonderful tour. Her letters and diaries which reach us aui of abso11hing interest aJld we are ,proud to hear that she bad been chosen representative of the party consisting of 25 girls from 16 schools. " There remains but to thank all those whose h elp and support have made possible so happy and satisfactory a year for us all. I am not unaware that a yea r like this has its dangers -one of the most insidious being a temptation to self-complacency. But the very fact that we have to draw up a report provides a time of self-criticism, and beneath that salutary microscope the germs of dangerous tendencies may be exposed. T'h e more efficient a. sc~ool the greater j;he danger of o,ver-orga111sahon. How are we gua rding against that? Is our prosperity threatening the simplicity and the h ardiness which are surely two of the greatest essenti als in school life. We do recognise the need for watchfulness in these respects if we ar e not to be faithless to the ideals of · our founders or to disappoint the friends to whom we

owe so much. vVe can never be grateful enough to the parents who are so sympathetic towards our a irns. and without whose support we could achieve so little."

E:BNEST GOWE:BS ON " BEING HAPPY."

After presenting the certificates, Sir Ernest Gowers gave an address, in which he elaborated on the subject "being happy ." '.f h e sort of happiness he desired to speak about was that which R. L. Stephenson had m m111d when he wrote the poem of a couple <lf lines-" The world is so full of a number of things, That 1 am su re we ought to be h appy as kings." We were surrounded in this world by an infinite number O·f beautiful and interesting things some o,f them put there by nature, such as flo,~ers, trees, birds, and wild life generally, and some had been handed clown t o us by those who had gone before, s uch as books, music, pictures, and beautiful buildings, a ll of which offered us great opportunity for happiness if we only knew h ow to take it. They 'y ere like beautiful cities of refuge all around us m which we could escape from time to time from the humdrum life of most of us, and the sorrows, troubles and anxieties that none of us cou ld Bverybody needed it, hope to 'wholly escape. but so many people went through life without taking advantage of the opportunities for happiness that those things could bring. The fact of the mattN was we cou ld not take advantage of them without taking p11ins; without using not oµ ly our eyes and e11rs, but also our brains. The chief reason why so many people did not take advantage of those things was bPcause we all left so many things undone which we all agreed it would be a very good thing to do, viz., because there was no particular reason why we should begin it at any particular time we never did begin it, and so li fe slipped by without us taking ltclvantage of tho opportunity.. It was n ot a bad idea to take one of those thrngs themselves and make it a particular subject1 so that they could get keener and more su'?tle. The speaker by analo"'y, enlarged on var10us points, and 'particul1Hly referrmg to music, urged. t he students that if they were musical they sh ould not waste it, but the.\' would waste it unless they listened with their brains as well as with their ears. If all they wanted to do was just to have a pleasant tickling sort of sensafion in the drums of their ears, and they turned on music over the wireless just as a background to playing II game or read ing a book, ft die not matter very much whether they turned on a choral symphony or "Dearie, I do love you." In fact, probably of the two the latt er was the better music, because the choral symphon~· wus - so n oisy that it would draw enthusiasm from what they were dorng. What they should not do was to deceive themselv es into thinking that they were listening to music, because the.v would not be. Listening to music was a whole-time occupation, and only if they made ii so would t hey be able to get that real thrill that could be obtained from music. ~ He told of how people got thrills in v11rious ways from different arts-music, poetry, and such like-which brought th em happiness and said h e believed that Shakespeare provided one of those most wonderful inexhaustible cities of refuge, full of beauties, one which they could nursue to the end of theiv life without coming to the end of them. Another mi11ht get it on hearing a chorus of birds on a l;l'torious moming in ;111a,y; another might get it from music, say from the last movement of Brahm's last symp hcny; another might get it in Salisbury Close on a summer evening, seeing the cathedral standing there in the red light of a setting sun. But the,y could not get any of those thrills in full unless they- had taken pains, and took the trouble to use theiT brains and get knowledge about the things, and tuned themselves in to the proper wave-length. Hiw-ing. spoken of the unforgettaole pictures that presented themselves if they foltA the t hrill, the~ speaker-d-rew t he-analogy 't lnrt ffi chorus of birds would mean much mo re to tflero if, like the conductor of on orchestra, the-y heard not only the general volume of sound but could pick out each bird , distinguishing it and r ecognising it as it tuned in the chorus, or got a special th rill on the day of t he year when they flrst beard such birds as the blackcap or nightingalo taking up their leads. Other points. of detail" Sir Brnest tou ched on, and especially urged the girls to rem em her the lessons to be cl eri ved " from m usic. poetry, bird life, tc':', a ll of which he lped to make for beauty of character and of soul in this life. Arcl1deacon Coulter thanked Sir Emest Gowem . and cheers were called for him and the Governors.-Tea follow ed. Governors' prizes were awarded as follow :Read of School-E. Waller: modern languages, -M. E. Wilson : history-I , V. M. Armstrong, 2, F. C. Leigh-Mallory; science-W. OsmanJones.

CALNE HOUSJNG.~ To the Editor of the Wiltshire Ga;ette:· Sra,-As an old reader of your valuable paper, it, interested me to read about .t}ic anAJ111'}_:$p_eech day at the St. llary's School. The chairman of the Governors, Archdeacon Coulter; Sllid the Governors decided to purchase 11 acres of land from Lord Lansdowne for additional playing fi.rlds, as a necessity from two points of view. } 'irst, additional playing fields·.- )foriF badly needed: second, them was the danger of.·it being sold for building purposes, "when we should be for ever overlooked " (and, perhaps worse, having to look o.tsome hideous modern houses)rather a cheering pip for the builders. I don't quite fall in with the ·ch o.irmun's view. I · would prefer to see a nice few houses un the site. Caine is badly in need of a lot more houses yet. Where was our 'I'own Council when the workhouSe 'vas in the market, and the land surrounding it? ·would not that have been o. better ·site for t1ouses than where they intend to· put· so:me;·at the end of Kew Lan e? Our Council houses a t North End are as good as, if not better thaµ, some towns have got. )\lore houses on th.at-Site would be better than playing fields, and it would more ben0fit the town. We want houses ·put up to live here. not come here to work and go and live in some other towns. '\Ve want our town tCJ< impro\·e; we want to be modern, not the same as we always have been. · i . :r AN OLD READE,R. Caine, Wilts; ;Nov. loth, 1934.

AN OLD CUS10M -REVIVAL. Happy Finale to St. Mary's School E xtensions.

·M r. Bromley , in reply, thanked .Miss Mall orv aud said i t h a d given h im t h e greatest pleasm·e to have had the su1p eno,i sing of the erection of the bu ilding.

LOSS TO THE BENCH. The Chairman eaid he would like fo refer to the loss which the Caine Bench had sust!ined in 1 the death last week of their colleague, Mr. Edwin Pound. Mr. Pound bad been a member of the Bench for nine yeal'6, and although latterly he was prevented from attending they would all (eel hi!! loss no~ the less. They had lost a friend, and Caine bad lost one of its most ' valued citizens. He was sure it would be the desire of the Bench that the deep sense which they .felt of his loss should be conveyed to Mr. Pound's relatives. Supt. Zebedee, on behalf of the police, and Mr. R. C. Heygate, for the solicitors, assot:iated themselves with the Chairman's remarks. Those present stood for a moment as a silent token of respect to Mr. Pound.

EW MAGISTRATES WELCOMED. The Chairman subsequently eaid it was hi pleasant dutv to welcome to the Bench their new colleagues. ·They were all extremely pleased t see two ladies on the Bench for the first time They would be a source of strength to them in. al their deliberations, . esJ.>Ecially when they were eoncerned with cases m which the feminine sex ••as involved . He also welcomed Mr. Roger Money-Kiryle, who is well-known in the district.

ST. MKRY'S sc li'l'.i'Ot, cALNE. An important forward step in the career of St. Mary's School, Caine, was taken on Saturday, when the Marchioness of Lan&downe laid the foundation stone of new buildings 路 which, when completed, will enable the Governors to meet the increasing needs of a school which has made great progres-s, and of which the town and district have every reason to be proud. The extent and scope of the new buildings are an indication of the pn>gress of the school, and of the faith of thf' governing body in its extended usefulness to the neighbourhood as the years go on, and the additional accommodation renders this possible. For upwards of sixty years Caine has had the advantage of this school, in connection with which there has been built up a tradition of thoroughness and a simple dignity, associated with a homely touch, which is of the greatest value in the world to-day. And while this importa.nt development will afford opportunities for a, still further realisation of that tradition , the fabric itself will add to the architectural amenities of Calne, for it will be a building of which the town and district may well be- proud as well as a tribute w the zeal and ability of those within the school. to whose efforts may be attributed the neefl for th!!i development.

Here vouchsafe to all Thy servants What they ask of Thee to gain, What they gain from Thee for ever With the Blessed to retain, And hereafter in Thy glory Evermore with Thee to reign.

To this Temple, where we call Thee, Come, 0 Lord of hosts, to-day ; With Thy wonted loving-kindness Hear Thy servants as they pray; And Thy fullest benediction Shed within its walls alway.

Laud and honour to the Father, Laud and honour to the Son, Laud and honour to the Spirit Ever Three, and ever one, Consubstantial, Co-eternal, While unending ages run. Amen.

Let us pray. For those by whose faith and works this school was begun and carried on and for those who now of their substance are helping to extend its usefulness that Thou wouldest, in Thy great mercy, think upon them for good according to all that they have done or have desired to do: and prosper all their service to the glory of Thy holy Name. Amen. For those who shall be employed upon this building that they may be kept safe from all harm and accident in their work and may not offend against Thee in thought, word, or deed : but being guarded from all danger to body or soul, may serve Thee in purity of heart and life to Thy honour and glory. Amen. 0 Almighty God, who hast built Thy Church upon the foundation of the Apostles and Prophets, Jesus Christ Himself being the head Corner-stone: Grant us so to be joined together in unity of spirit by their doctrine, that we may be made an holy temple acceptable unto Thee: through Jesus Christ our Lord, to Whom, with Thee and the Holy Ghost, be honour and glory, world without end. Amen. The Blessing of God Almighty, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost, descend and rest upon this School and upon all who learn and teach in it, now and for evermore. Amen.

THE CEREMONY AT CALNE. Short But Impressive. Loyal Caine. All the inhabitants who were able to leave their honle~ came out o~ Thursday to hear the ".layor p1 ccla1m the access10n of :Ki11 "' Bdward VIII. (as briefly stated in our last issue)~ a nd all th e public bodies were represented in the vast crowd that assembled outside the Town Hall, where, nearly路 29 years before, the then Mayor had read an Address of \Velcome to the late King Edward and Queen Alexandra on the ~ccasion of their visit to Bowood in July, 1907. The occasion now was to proclaim that great ~fonarch's grandson as King of these Realms. Hundred!! there were who gathered, as they did when King G1lorge was proclaimed over a - quarter of a century ago. How many of those now pi:esent could remember the previous proclamation ? As one looked over the great multitude, cne realised that comparatively few could have stood m the same place over 25 years ago; hundreds of them were not yet .then born, and many of the others were too young to remember. Thursday was a sprin_g -like morning, with the sun (for January) pourmg forth much strength '~'he proclamation was to be read i,it 12.30. i l~ttle before that time the Strand was comparatl\"ely empty, but soon came the young ladies of St. Mary's School, taking up their places close to the stand which had been erected for the Mayor and Corporation, and in allotted places all round were the Territorial detachmen.t (under Lieut. 0. Brakspear), the British Leg10n (und~r Capt. A. 0. Hood and Capt. R. P. Redman). with the standard draped in black th~ Red Cross (under Miss \Voodro:ffe Hicks anci Miss Burton). t)le Boy Scouts (Scoutmaster Gregory), Girl Guides (Mrs. Ede), Fire Brigade (Capt. l\Iaundrell; , and Tow禄. Band (Mr. C. ~laokford). l\Iea.nwhile the ~Iaym; and Corporation had robed in the Council Chamber and as th~ cloc!' pointed to 12.30 they filed out by the exi.t facmg New Road and took up their places on the temporary stand. '.rhe Mayor (l\Ir. H. Cooper). of course, had on his robes, and the woi:thy Aldermen and Councillors also wore their gowns. By the side of tlie Mayor stood the Town Clerk (Mr. C. 0. Govgh), in wi~ and gown and the beadles, in their scarle.t umform, with the mace at tne shoulder. Behmd the Councillors stood ministers of religion-the Revs. N. E. Johnson {parish church), F. A. Eaton (Free Church) . N. M. Wills (London Road Methodist) and J. Wilmhurst (Castle Street Bapti8t). The Mavoreee路 YRS also present.

Microphones had been installed so that those at the extreme edge of the crowd could hear. In a clear. telling voice, and speaking with much deliberation, the Mayor, addressing the crowd, said :~" The proclamation of His )Iajesty King Edward VIII. having been made at the Court of St. James', I have called you together so that we may proceed with all due respect and dignity to read the s;1.me to the inhabitants of this lo~路al and ancient borough. We shall remember his late Majesty and the way in which he sustained the nation bv his fortitude and courage during the terrible years of the Great War. We also remember the example he set in the years of stress following this conflict. \Ve have wonderful memories of His Majesty during the Jubilee, and lastly, we can recall the message that be broadcast to the nation, the Dominions, and ihe whole world at Christmas. W"e desire to offer to His Majesty King Edward VIII., the Queen Mother. and the other members of the Royal Familv our most respectful and hortfelt sympathy, and we trust that the deep and overwhelming expression of sorrow, not only by this nation but by the whole world, may be some lightening to their grief. With one heart and voice we declare our loyalty and attachment to the Throne an person of His Majesty the King of these Realms. and son and successor of our beloved King George. We pray Almighty God that for many years to come King Edward VIII. may be spared to reign over a happy, prosperous, and united people." Buglers sounded a fanfare of trumpets, and then came the proclamation by the Mayor, again read with a clarity that made every syllable possible of hearing. A feu. de joi'e by the Territorials; this token of joy-the firing into the air-that had never before been witnessed by hundreds of the assembled companv. l'he sound reached heavenwards, and after the reverberation. all that could be heard was an o.rder to the soldiers to unlODd and "order anus"until, "Three cheers for King Edward VIII. ", cried the Mayor, and the gathering responded in Caine's inimitable loyal way. A verse of the National Anthem was sung, and the proclamation at the Town Hall ended. Afterwards ia. procession was formed, the Corporation and the public representatives proceeding to the Green, where had gatluired the larger number of school children of the town. Here his \Vorship again read the proclamation, and, before returning to the Council Chamber, proceeded to what are known as the "Proclamation St~ps " in Mill Street, and read the proclama.t ion a third time. It is recorded that from these steps the various proclamations have been read from the days of Queen Elizabeth, heralded by beat of drum. When the Mayor and Corporation returned to the Council Chamber the health of the new King was drunk. The Marquess of Lansdowne, as Lord of the Manor. regretted that he was unable to be present at the proceeding, as he was in London with the Peers of the Realm in Westminster Hall, when the body of the late King arrived from Sandringham "for the lying-in-state, and AroJi4eecon J. W . Coulter was away at Convoca

The largest congregation that has gathered in Caine parish church for very many years took part in a simple but very impre~ siYe service on ·Tuesday afyirnoon . There w1>re quite 1,300 people present and many were unable to find standing room to take part in the service. Messrs. C. and T. Harris factory and all places of business closed down at one o'clock for tlte rest of the clay to enable everyone to µay th ei r last fribute to the late Kini!'.

f ~The following letter will be read with a feeling of great regtet that we are losing the services of one who has been a faithful Priest in Caine for 14 years. For nine of these he bas been my moat loyal and devoted colleague, and I shall miss him more than I can say. At the same time we must not be selfish and grudge him to the great work overseas. My dear friends and fellow-worshippers, There is now 'no need for me to stay in England ; and that is the only reason why I am leHing Caine ; lionestly. The Universities' Mission to Central Africa uaually looks for men and women who can give a long peridd of service. But it can sometimes use someone who cannot hope. to become expert in the Âˇlanguages and customs of the Africarls, but who may help by ministering to the Euto~n setilera, or by taking aerâ&#x20AC;˘iCM fot dittta.nt oongrepuou who could otherwise receive the Saoraments only woutbly or qu .. rterly . Aud t he Hi:v.. F. A . Tbowti, who will be consecrated Bishop of ,...Nyasaland on S. Matthias' Day, has accepted me for hie diocese. In justice tojthe mission authorities, I must add that my paesage and maintenance will not fall on the mission funds ; for of course they could not expend on a man who will be only partially efficient the amount that would support a younger man. But I shall live on the same basis as the other members of the staff', i.,,., f5 per quarter for personal expenses, over and above board and lodging. I know how sadly I have failed to help many in ()aloe, especially at Holy Trinity. Will you all look forward to welcome the better priests whom Ood will send to you; and may I specially ask many of the younger communicants and members of the congregation that, when I am gone, they will rally rodnd their Church again, and take their place in its services and work. Your sincere friend in Christ, â&#x20AC;˘ B. HaowNa .

S IETY'S DOUBLE JUBILEE. Conductor's Remarkable Record.

MUSICA

'rh e Ca ine Musical Society, which has just celebrated its golden jubilee, performed ColeridKe Taylor's ·· Hiawatha" at the Picture Palace last e\-eniug, before a. crowded house. Not only has the SociPty celebrated its jubilee, but its conductor. Mr ...W. H. PulJein, has a lso reacht:>d his jubi lee. Just about 50 years ago, Mr. l'ullein, whPn quite a young man, came to Caine as orgm1ist of th e parish church. '.l'he Socieh was founded in 1886, appointing )\fr. Pu llein as its first conductor, and he has wielded the baton ever since. His capability as an organist, and hi s wonderful playing on that bea utiful five-manual i11strument in the church, n&<l no recapitulation here; his talents as a musician haye reached far and beyoµ4 Caine. During all these years, too, he has· conductecl the Society with marked abili ty, and, thanks in the main to him, there can be few towns in ~gland of the size of Caine that can boast of such a successful musical society. En passant, one may wonder whether any other similar society is in existence which for ha lf a century has been conducted by the same person. One may a lso wonder whether there is any member of the Society still singing who took part in the first oratorio given by the Society in 1886, ,·iz., Parmer's " Christ and llis Soldiers." Since its formation , the Society has given a wida range of works, including all the famous oratorios and a good many of the lighter ones. It has pre,·iously rendered " Hiawatha," the last time as far back as 1924, and the decision to again giYe this work met with much favour amongst the Society. EXCELLENT PERFORM.AKCE. Last nigh~ the chorus numbered about 70, the soloists being )Iiss ,Mary Hamlin (soprano), Mr. Edward Heach (tenor) and ,Mr. ·\rilliam Parsons (bass) . "Hiawatlrn" demands ;;i. good orchestra, which on this occasion hnd Miss Wadna Keil as leader nncl )liss Marjorie Buckle as harpist, and was strengtlwned by 19 members of the band of the Uo.\·;i J Ma rines (Po rtsmouth Division). " Hiawatha " was excelJently r endered. and showed that the Society had been brought to a high state of perfoction. Mr. Pullein, who conducted with an excellent '" stick," commanded hi;; forces admirahly, pnd the srnging throughout wns as good P.s any the Societ~· bas gi\•en in its Joni? history . On the whole, the parts were well-ba lanced; rhythm and tone were par excellencP, and a i·emarkable feature was the splend id obsenation · of th e nuances. Of the soluists , it is doubtful whether the Society has e\·er had a more capable trio of artistes. Miss .\for.1· .flamli11, of ]Jroadcnst fame, who has on St> \·eral occasions sun!! in this part of the countn-. fu ll y sustained lier well-known reputation. singing with d<PP fe eling nnd imparting the n ecessary emphasrn. )[r. Edward Reach, the possessor of a tc lli i~ Yo icc, performed with a clear concepti<Jn of l01 s part, and one could hardly imagin e a better interpretation of the tenor, parti cu larly of i. ha t delightful solo, "Una way! ~\wak e , EdoYed ! " l\1r. Parsons, who in the p nst thr['e o r j"our years has risen to be one of };ngland ·s most famous ba ses, sang with fine articulati on, phrasing and expression, and throughout ga,·e a most perfect rendering. _-\s was to be expected of a fine body of musicians like the 1Ia rin es, they acquitted themselves as first-class instrumentalists should do, the orc hestral playing throughout being of the h ighest class. Before "Hia11·atha" was commenced , the orchestra p layed the overture "Raymond" . (by 'l'homas), a delightful fanfare with p lenty of crisu music. Mies Frances Ai)gell has been a11 efficient accompanist to the Society at t he p ractices.

lt w as a splendid two and n-half houra' well gi,·en . SER \' I CES RECOGNISED. At an interval, a presentation was m~ Mr. Pullein in r ecognition of his 5() yeara• nection with m usic in Ca ln e. Arclulea co u J. "\Y. Coulter said that was celebration -of )fr. Pullein's "golden wedd with Caine. R ea li sing that t11e occasion unique and should not pass unnoticed by people of the town and n eig hbourhood, it been dec id ed that, instead of mnking Mr. lein gifts separately from the choir, the ch council, and the l\Insical Society, they sh pool everyth i ng, and t'he.1' were making a sentation on behalf of those different Mr . Brian Henly (th e par ish ward en} was Wi him rep r esenting the church. Letters sent out concerning th e matter and the :response was generous-and ri ghtly so, bee&UM the~· "II owed a tremendous debt of grati to Mr. Pullein for the work he had done connection wHh music in the town and dist He had a l wayi; tried to keep th e m u sic of church at a high standard, and he had ceeded. l{e had been fortunate for many now in ha,·ing an exeellent organ to play UjlOllJ it was certainly the best in the diocese a n d-one of the best in any parish church in E11Jt~ 'Dhey owed that to· the generosity of Mr. Hartt..

St. Mary's School. The Rishop will be paying our parish another visit on October 31st when be comes to dedicate the .magnificent new buildings a.t St. }lary's School. These consist of a large school ball, dining hall, kitchen, and premises for the teaching and domestic staffs. There are a few people still left who remember when this school was started over 6! â&#x20AC;˘ years ago in a very small way in a small house on the Green aud now it has grown both in numbers and in the size of its buildings so that it is barely recognisable as tbti Ha.me school. As a Church and parish we ought to be very proud of this school. It owes much to two Vicars of Caine-Canon Duncan its founder, and Archdeacon Bodington. In recent years it has put Caine prominently "on the map" as it has become known in the whole of England through the outstanding successes of its pupils both at the Universities and in other directions. The position the school bolds 'to-day is chiefly due, of course, to Miss Matthews who has been its bead for over 20 years. One of the saddest parts of her duty is having to refuse so many girls who are anxious to come. The number of pupils is limited and there is little chance of getting in unless one's name has been down for some years It is a great joy to have so much young life in our Church on Sundays and I am sure we all pray that God's blessing may rest in even greater measure on the school in its new buildings.

ST. MARY'S SCHOOL, CALNE The buildings which have recently been erected at St. Mary's School, Caine. were dedicated by the Bishop of Salisbury, visitor of the school , on Saturday. Two years ago the governors of the school acquired I 2 acres adjoining the grounds. Jn the middle of thes e stood the workhouse , which had lain vacant for some ~i!11e. With the stone obtained by i t s demoht1on a school hall has now been bui lt, together with a dining hall, domestic quarters , and a house for the resident staff. Towards the expense, parents and friends of the schoo l have already contributed £2,400. The chief speaker at the ceremony was the Mistress of Girt<;>n , and Mr_. A . M . Dunne, K .C ., pai d a tnbute to Miss Matthews, who has just completed 21 years as headmistress.

ST. MARY'S SCHOOL FOR GIRLS BUILDING EXTENSION AT CALNE Dignified new buildings, as an extenaion to St. Mary's School for Girls, Caine, comprising a house for the &taff, domestic quarters, a dining hall and an Assembly Room were formally opened to-day. The Bishop of Sali~bury, the Head of Girton and Miss E. Steel, O.B.E. late headmistress of the Royal School, Bath, who now resides at Hungerford and has been appointed a governor of St. Mary's School, had signified tlseir intention of being present. - ·· ~· Walt.er Rudman, of Chippenham, arch1t.ect for the school, has got out some formnlie resp~ting the building that are not oft.en available in such cases and are of exceptional interest. · The building covers on&o6ixth of an acre, and the distance round the walls ia 200 yards. It is 50 feet from the ftoor to the top of the lightning conductor on the cupola. There are about 45 000 cubic feet of walls, representing 3'650 cart.loads. Bath stone has accounted' for 4,500 cubic feet. It took 75,000 tiles, weighing about 73 ~ns, to c-0ver. the roofs, and the roof timber'"?, placed on .em\, would stretch two nules. There is almost an acre and • half o.f plast.ering on the walls, and, ror clecorat1on, over a ton of distemper and 1f a ton of paiJat;. has ·been used.

Tl••·

11,000 There are 100 doors ~n the building, and over 11,000 tiles have been used on tM ftoors • . The electrical inshollation hll6 taken nearly_three miles of wiring, and it is the first scheme in Caine to be wired for t.he new A:.C. supply. The lighting bas required 140 lights, besides power plugs. For heating the building the equipment includes a single boiler to deal with both heating and hot water 6'Upply. A smaller boiler is provided for summer use. TbPre is nearly a mile of heating pipes in the building. In the windows there are 1,578 panes of glass. Quite 14 firms, besides the general cont..raimm-s. ha~ been directly OOll'lcemed with the building, and those indirectly concerned are at least three or four times this number. The architect has produced over 450 drawings.

CALNE SCHOOL EXTENSION NEW SCHOOL BUILDINGS COST £20,000 . ~ I ·ge number of parents and old girls

~~ the opening and dedication of a: en £20 000 additions to St. Mary's ~Ji J Calne by the Bishop of Salisbury ~n ~turday.' .Archdeacon J. W. Co?lter (Chairman of the Governors) presided. d was supported by the Bishop of ~~lisbury, the Marchioness. of Lansdow~e, Miss Matt hews (headm1str~ss), M1~ Wodehouse (Mist ress of Girton), Sir Ernest and Lady Gowers, Mr. :ind Mrs. A. l\f. Dunne , Mr. and Mrs. F. f. Bodinnar, Miss Steel (formerly H.eadm1ftress of the Royal School, Lansdown Bath), Miss Bodington, Mrs. Ash~n Canon and · Mrs. Barton, the M~yor and Mayoress of Caine (Mr. and Mrs. H . Cooper), . Mrs. Rudman, Mrs. R. Rudman, the Rev. and Mrs. C. H. S. Matthews , Dr. and Mrs. C. Ede, l\fr. and Mrs. C. 0. Gough, and others. The dedication <Jpened with prayer led by the Archdeacon, followed by the singing of the school hymn, "(,"hil<l · of the Church." Then followed the dedication prayers by the Bishop, aJ?d the singing ~~ "Praise my soul. the Kmg of lleav~n. Parents Helped The Chairman explained that Canon r:~sc1n, for 41 yea.rs Vicar of · Caine, · founded the School over 60 years ago. 'Vhen Ca.non Duncan died there came a titne of depression and it seemed a-.. though the school might cease to exist but it was started on the road to prosperity again by his (the speaker's) predecessor, Archdeacon Bodington. The new building was not a. luxury but a. necessity and it was astonishing how the 5chool had been carried on so amazingly well under the old conditions. Of the £20,000 cost of the new building, parents and others had given about £2,000, and he wanted to thank the Trustees of Farmers~ Trust, who bad given them £500. The Govemorw handed over the new buildings to the Headmistress as a tribute of gratitude for her devoted work for the School, and perhaps they might regard it as a. presentation to her on her completion of twenty-one rears with the school. The Governot"I! had the utmost faith in the future of the aebool because they believed it would be ~i:ied on as ~ haJ been in the past, gIVIDg sound practical education based on . the only lasting foundation, true Cl'lnstian principle!!.

Nner Forgotten · Miss Matthews, in her n!p-Ort, said on• remembered with gratitude those generous and great-souled founders of their school. It was they who, in faith, planted the tiny seed that had grown into a. sturdy tree, and as long as St. Mary'11 las}ed~ the ~ll;Jlles of ,.C!fon_«,>!1 D~c:a~~ ~· _ ·lfutral, Miss Gabnel; and t1fe1r secl1nd' fo:und~r, Archdeacon Bod~n, . would never be · forgotten. Th~ir examination success that year, despite the developmelllj; work, had been 100 pe"l' cent., and included Girton scholarship, College Entranc_e , their :first M.B. certificate, and . School Certificate. An old girl Dr. , Isabel Martineau, had cleared the 'board in her final examinations at Liverpool, achieving a record unique among women by being gold medallist o! her year in both medicine and surgery, and winning her degree with special distinction !n medicine. Things That Matter .Miss Wodehouse also spoke, and the Bishop of Salisbµry, in an address that contained many humorot1s stories of girls' schools, stressed the value of ·history that they might, by learning about great men and women, learn to become a I little greater . themselves. Whatever other people might do, they should value the things that matter. There _w as great truth in the saying, "'The utmost for the highest." They 5hould do all they could for the highest valuee. Mr. Dunne, the oldest Governor, said that when Miss Matthews took charge of the school 21 years ago it was small place. In that twenty-one years had emerged the School they all knew, and Miss Matthews alone was responsible. The -Governors had provided a fine building, but they wanted more. It was absolutely necessary tha.t in a oomp!lratively Rhort period of years they must have a building containing proper class-rooms. · Afterwards those present had tea. and a coJl<lflrt was given by .the pupils. 1

HYMN.

Child of the Church upon thy forehead wearing The virgin flower of Mary, Mother Mild, Thyself, like her, God's handmaid thus declaring, Obedient, humble, true, and undefiled, Like her thy Master's joy and sorrow sharing, Be faithful unto death, Saint Mary's Child. Saint Mary's Child, like the white lily growing, The Holy One of Israel watcheth thee, The sunshine of His Presence round thee throwing, Thy shadow in the noontide fury He. Sweetness and grace and uprightness bestowing And most of all His spotless purity. Child of the Church, when friends and fortunes fail thee Take up His Cross and ]et His \,'Vill be done. Thy foes press on, all eager to assail thee, Look up, ere night the battle shall be won. What in the crash of battle can avail thee? Nothing but this, the faith of Christ, her Son. Words by R . E. D . Donaldson .

Music by W. R. Pullein

Dearly beloved in the Lord we have met together here to dedicate these buildings to the honour of Almighty God. In faith and hope that our Heavenly Father will favourably accept this work of ours in devoting this place to His Glory for th_e education and well-being of His children, let us faithfully and devoutly pray for His Blessing on this our undertaking. Almighty and most merciful God, graciously incline Thine ear to the prayers of Thy humble servants; sanctify this place with Thy blessing and vouchsafe Thy gifts of grace to all .who now .or hereafter may come to l~arn within it; that they may grow up m Thy faith and fear, and may contmue in Thy service unto their lives' end; through Jesus Christ our Lord. In the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Ghost we dedicate these buildings to the service of Almighty God for the education of His children. May this place now dedicated with prayers and with the Invocation of the Most Holy Name, be prospered continually; and may the work done here have good and abiding success; to the Glory of God and to the benefit of the Church and Nation. 0 God, the Source of all Light and Love, the Giver of all good gifts, we bese$ Thee to bless and prosper the work of this School with the fulness of Thy Holy Spirit. Grant to the Governors, the Headmistress and all who work with her, wisdom and devotion, that they may set Thy Holy Will ever before them and that their labours may be of service to the children now in their care and to those that shall come after, through Jesus Christ our Lord. We give Thee humble and hearty thanks, 0 Merciful God, for all those by whose faith and works this school was begun and carried on; for the lives and examples of all who have served Thee in this place; for their high ideals and aspirations; for their cheerfulness and courage ; for their steadfastness and self-sacrifice. We praise Thee for the heritage into which we have entered and pray Thee to make us worthy to maintain and strengthen all that is good in our traditions. May the Spirit of loyalty and devotion bind us all more closely together; may Thy wisdom guide and prosper all our life here that we may grow in the love of all that is true, honest, lovely and of good report. And when we go out into the World may we carry with us the ideal and the power of service which Thou dost give us in Thy Son, Jesus Christ our Lord.

HYMN. Praise, my soul, the King of Heaven ; To His feet thy tribute bring, Ransomed, healed, restored, forgiven, Who like me His praise should sing ? Praise Him ! Praise Him ! Praise the everlasting King Praise Him for His grace and favour To our fathers in distress ; Praise Him still the same for ever, Slow to chide and swift to bless. Praise Him !- Praise Him ! Glorious in His faithfulness. Father-like He tends and spares us; Well our feeble frame He knows; In His hands He gently bears us, Rescues us from all our foes. Praise Him ! Praise Him ! Widely as His mercy flows. Angels, help us to adore Him ; Ye behold Him face to face ; Sun and moon, bow down before Him ; Dwellers all in time and space. Praise Him ! Praise Him ! Praise with us the God of grace. Word s by H. F. Lyle.

The hag is astride this night for to ride ; The devil and she together : Thro' thick and thro' thin, now out and then in, Tho' ne'er so foul be the weather. A thorn or a burr she takes for a spur ; With a lash of a bramble she rides now, Thro' brakes and thro' briars, o'er ditches and mires, She follows the spirit that guides now, No beast, for his food, dares now range the wood, But hushed in his lair he lies lurking, While mischiefs by these, on land and on seas, At noon of night are a-working. The storm will arise and trouble the skies This night, and, more for the wonder, The ghost from the tomb affrighted shall come, Called out by the clap of the thunder.

The Spacious Firmament on High. The spacious firmament on high, With all the blue ethereal sky, And spangled heav'ns, a shining frame, Their great Original proclaim. Th'unwearied sun, from day to day, Doth his Creator's pow'r display; And publishes to ev'ry land The work of an almighty hand. Soon as the evening shades prevail, The moon takes up the wondrous tale; And nightly to the list'ning earth Repeats the story of her birth : Whilst all the stars that round her burn, And all the planets in their turn, Confirm the tidings as they roll, And spread the truth from pole to pole. What though in solemn silence all Move round the dark terrestrial ball ; What though nor real voice nor sound Amid their radiant orbs be found? In reason's ear they all rejoice And utter forth a glorious voice ; For ever singing as they shine, The hand that made us is divine!

One of the low relief carvings by Mrs. Bimstingl m the new school. Four low relief carvings depicting incidents in the lives 路of .saints form part of the decoration of the new building of St. Mary's School., One of the designs is here illustrated, and from it can be seen the exceptional bea碌ty of. the design, hampered though it was . by the rest-rictiops placed 路upon it hy the ,fact ~hat the carvings had to be , exceptionally shallow. , . The designs are from t-h c pencil of Mrs. C.

From the reproduction above it wilf tie seen that the design appears rather modern in style, but this w:as partly due to the reqwremente of the nature of the work. With the shallow-cut of bas"relief work it is impOBSible to get the proportions beloved of the old style workers who worked " in the round." The modern effect is fui-ther heightened. by the fact that the photograph was taken at eye-level, instead of as they would be from the ground, where the proportions are better at>11..reciated.

ST. MARY'S SCHOOL, CALNE. I

- Dedication and Opening of New Buildings.

OCTOBER 3 lst, 1936.

[R-eprinted /1~0111 "The Wiitslllfre Gazette," N o1:mnb e1· 5th, 1936.]

KEEPING PACE WITH PROGRESS AT CALNE. IMPORTANT DEVELOPMENT AT ST. MARY'S SCHOOL.

New Buildings Dedicated and Declared Open. EDITORIAL NOTE.

[On Satmday, 2 November of last year, the Marchioness of Lansdowne, in laying the foundation stone of oxtensivo new buildings at St. Mary's School, Calno, very truly said t hat the event marked an important step forll'ard in the career of the school. Exactly a year later, on Saturday last, that step was con.solidated, for on that day the new buildings were dedicated and declared open, and thus was a ten years' dream realised. There is a faith which will move mountains, and when it is realised that the cost of this latest and most important development in this remarkably progressive school is some £20,000 it must also be appreciated that thase responsible for the carrying on of St. Mary's School possess that faith in an abundant degree. But it is faith well founded; it is the faith 1d1ich comes of a canviction amply justified by ·experience and by the confident hope inspired by a ~reat ideal, an ideal which Founded bv is assuredly being realised. Canon Dnncan in 1873, the School aims at providing a thoroughly gaod modern education with religious teaching according to the Church of England, while specia l ?ai.·-and bow important, too, is thi m the trend of the times-is taken to train girls in habits of responsibility order and courtesy. Since its foundatio""n' mau" additions have been made to the origin~! b:Uilding , but every improvement, every addition yet made pales into insignificance beside the amazing development of 1936. The ne11· buildings ai.·e described in another part of to-day' s Gazette, with the account of the opening procaedings. Suffice it to sav here that th ey are a monument of that faith and confident hope to which we have referred. coupled " ·ith the zeal, enterprise and dynami<' energy guiding the activities and progress of the School. The charm of the new building, consists largely in the fact that there is

nothing blatant, nothing upstart; they are mellow, dignified, and, at the same time, friendly, aJ.Id we can readily appreciate the expression that " in om wildest dreams we never visuali sed so beautiful a building as this." Yet this ve ry fact imposes fw·ther commitments in the futw·e, for it will hav e been obvious to those who have seen the new building aud the present class-rooms that imp1:ovement in the latter is essential; indeed, mil be absolutely necessary within a very short perio<l of years, while the huts, useful pmp~se as they have served in the past, contnbute such a touch of incongruity a s should be removed as soon as possible. But this, of course, can only be achieved by further financial outlay. The Governors have to face the great liability of £20,000 just incurred. Towa.rds that sum an appeal issued early in ~he Y'0.~· has brought in about £2,000 and, m add1t10n, they have received a sum of £500 from the Farmer Trustees. Again, except for a very small sum of about £40, the School ha£ no endowme nt. In embarking upon this great venture of faith the Governors oousidered three alternatives in regard to the financial obligation, but, having a s their ideal the conserving of a school not anly small in numbers , but intimate because of its ideal of homeliness and simple living, and r~alising that in this they will have the support of all the friends of St. Mary's, they adapted th e scheme of raising the money by loan and an appeal to the friends of the School to help it by donations. Ha.ving regard ta the record of the School in the development of character, in scholarly attainments-the examination succi:sses (Girton Scholarships, College Entrance, First and l\f.B. School Certificate) have been 100 per cent.-and the spirit of endea,·our and progress furth er exemplified in the late t developments, 1i-e feel sure tha.t this appeal 1rill meet with that rr·esponse which it so thoroughly deserves.]

Most insti tutions which have been at work for 60 yearn and more have encountered storms , but ha.ve r ealised t hat after them h as come the suns hine. Tha t metaphor ma.y be unreservedly applied to St. Mary's School ia.t Caine. In the cou1'8e of its long and hcmourab le career it has faithfull y discharged its impo1iant m ission of educating girLs for the life before them. It ha s has had its au...xious times , and its periods of rejoicing. Saturda.y will long be remembered by the many who were present a-s coming into the latter oategory , it being the occas.ion of the dedicat'on and opening uf the new buildings with which the School is now equipped. It is one of the most important adcli tions ever ma.de to St. Mary's; to adopt t.h e simi:e used by the Chairman of the Governors in the course of the proceed ings, it is a happy realisation of a tenyears' dream. Meteorologically, it wia.s a cheerles& day . Rain fe:I, h eavily at times , and when it su bs ided leaden skies threatene.d to deliver more. Such a. pa.II did the clouds draw over creation that it was prematurely dark , and the use of the electric h gl\t had to be resorted to before the proceedings were begun. Th ese conditions were by no means refl ected fo the spirits of the large 6.ssembly; on tl:Ie cont1:ary, the general happiness and enthus ia.sm of the gathering pa:ed the worst the weather did, or could do, into ins ignificance.

REMAR KABLE P ROGR ESS OF THE SCHOOL. 'l'h e progr ess of the sc!hool ha s been r em arkable. F ounded a little over 60 years ago by the Rev. Canon Duncan (then Vicar of Caine), it !has grown from a small beginning until it has become one of the most successful schools in the West. Extensions h ave been carried out from time to time but the n ew buildings now to be opened are t he biggest scheme yet accomplished, and will ser ve the n eeds of the school for many year s to com e. Tlh e old Poor L aw Institution at the back of the sc!hool was purchased by t h e Governors and pulled clown, ancl upon the site. stands a thoroughly up-to-elate and well eqmpped school, the n ew premises being conn ected to the existing school by a covered corridor. FEATURE ~ OLD AND NEW . Gone is the bel t of fir trees below t h e san at orium, the orcha rd. a nd the summer !house, and in t h eir place stands the l atest a nd la rgest addition. Approached from Curzon Street by a drive down between the sanatorium and the long hut, the main block sta n ds on the axis of the drive, with the dining hall below and assembly: hall above, with its two stacres, and high ceiling inter sected by semi-circular roof trusses. Facing the tennis lawn s, the n ew bu ilding rises higlh above t h e surr ounding field , a nd on e is attracted by the fo ur low reJj ef ca rved stone panels between the windows designed by Mrs. Birnstingl. Facing St. Prisca's a r e the music rooms and a dass i·oom. T h e north lawn behinJ the chapel is no\\· bounded b y the staff-house, a complete unit in itself, and the dom estic block, with the kitch en a nd i ts necessary adjuncts on the ground floor , and the maids' cubicles, etc., on the floor over.

FACTS Ill F IGURES. P erhaps a. few figur es may convey some "d of the task accomplished. 'llh e building co~ ea a n a r ea oi one sixth of a n acre and the tan c-e round the walls is 200 yards. From !&fl oor to the .top of the lightning conductor the the cupola is 58 feet: About 45,000 cubic f on of wallmg was u sed m the walls, representi':t 3,650 car_t loads._ Bath . stone accounted fo~ 4,500 cubic feet, lll the wmdow dressings, doors etc. It lbas taken 75,000 tiles to cover the roof ' weighing about 75 tons, and the rafters (ro!i timbers), placed end to end would stretelb. two miles. . There is a lmost an acre and a half of plastermg o_n . the wa lls, a nd for decoration over a t on of distemper and half a ton of paint has been u sed. There a r e 100 doors in the bmldmg, and over 11,000 tiles have been used on the tloors The electrical . installation !has taken nearly t hree miles of wll'e, a nd m cidentally is the first sch eme m Caine to be wued for the new A C supply. 'l'he lig;hting h as required 140 lighta besides power plugs . For h_eating the building the eqmpment mcludes a smgle boiler to deal with h<?th _heating and ho!;-water supply, whidi is fitteu with a n automatic stoker. 'l'he stoker is con trolled by an electric fan, w!hich in its turn is thermostatically controlled, to provide a n y predetermmed t emp erature. A smaller boiler is provided for summer use. The ·b oiler capa_c ity is 886,_870 B_.'l '.U:'s and there is nearly a mile of !h eatmg pipes m the building. The glazing of the windows took 1,578 panes of glass. Quite four teen firms besides the general contractors have been directly concerned with the building, and those indirectly concerned amount to at least three or four times that number To give all n ecessary details and instructions to these firms and the general contractors, the architect has produced over '50 drawings.

.£20,000 EXPENDITURE. 'Dhe cost of the work is in the neighbourhood of £20,000, a n d the buildings have taken a year to complet e. It was on Saturday, 2 November, last year that t he Marchioness· of Lansdowne iaid t he fo undation stone, which, she truly sa id, m arked a n important step forward in the career of the school. The arc:ihitect has been Mr. Walter Rudman, of Chippenham , a nd the contractors Messrs. J. H. Blackford & Son, of Calne.

DE DICATORY SE RVICE. The Chairman of the Governors (Archdeacon J . W . Coulter) was in the chair , su pported by the Bishop of Salisbury (who thus paid his finlt visit to the School) , the March ioness cf L31111downc, Sir Ernest Gowers, Mr. A. M. Dunne, K.C., M iss Steel, Mr. J . F. Bodinnar (Governo rs); M:ss Mattheffs (Headmistre68), Mi s~ Wod ehouse (the Mistress of Girton) , the Mayor and Mayo ress of Caine (Mr. and Mrs. H .

mis tress , Godolphin School , Salisbury) , Miss Ash (!ate headmi stress Godolphin 8chool), Mr. and Mrs. G. W. Oiiv(; (Daun tscy's School, Vhst LM'ington), Mr. and Mr£. M. S. Gotch (Caine Secondary School) , Mrs. R E. D. Rudman, a nd Mrs . Walter Rudman. There was a very la r ge attendance of parents an d others, many of whom had come from a consider able distance. DIVINE BLESSING INVOKED. The Archdeacon opened the serv ice with prayer. after which t he School h ym n, " Child of the Church upon th y forehead wearing," wns sun a b~· the pupils. Then the Bishop offered prayer , ~ncl, with hand upMted, dedicated the buildings with th e following :-" In the mtme of tl\e Father and of the Son and of the Ho'.y Ghost we dedicate these bu ildin gs to the service of Almight y God for the educat;on of Hi s children . " Further prayers followed for the prosperin g of t he work; for the grant to the Govcrno!'s, H eadmistr ess, a nd all who worked with her, wjsdom and devotion, and thanks for all those by whose faith a nd work the school was· beg un and carried on and their high ideals an d aspirat'ons. Then ca me the hymn ·" Praise, my soul, the King of H eaven," the service endin g with the Bish op pronouncing the Blessing.

THE OPE·N ING CEREMONY. After a few moments pause, the formal opening proceedings took place. They were injtiatecl l>y the Chairman of th e Governorn, who a n nounced that a large number of telegrams had been received from old pupils and otbern r egretting inability to attend, of which, he aaid, be would read two. One of these was from Miss Doug'.ais, H eadmistr ess of Godolphin School from 1890 to 1919, who wired-" Love and blessin g on beautiful sch ool. " The other was from Mrs. vVhytehead , whom, he said, many of them kr.cw as the w ife of Bishop Whytehead , and daughter of Oanon Duncan, found er of the School. 8be telegraph ed- " Extremely sorry prevented coming to-clay." The Archdeacon proceeded to ex plain that the reason he was occupying the chair that day was because he happened to be holding t he honoura bl e pm~it icn of chairman of the Governors . They mi ght natura.Jly expect that the chairma.n of such a Board of Governors cf St. Mary's School would be a much more dist inguished peraon (" No .. ). It was, perhaps, excusable when some two yearn ago, in regard to a. paper on general knowledge , that one of the answers, as to who wa,g chairman, was " Mr. Baldwin " (laughter) . That pupil evidently thought it should be some distinguished person. There were, t he Archdeacon said, two outstandin g d ;fferences between Mr. Ba'.dwin and him sel f. H e never smoked a pipe, and, although he lived in Cai ne, he did not keep pigs (laughter). H e \ms chairman because he was vicar of Cal ne, and by virtue of h i£ ch airmanship was carrying on a. tradition of over 60 vears. The founder of this School was Ca.non. Duncan , for 41 years vicar of this par.ish. When he died the School had-a'S h appened to every public school-a t ime of depression , and it seemed as if it might cease to exist altogether, but it was put on it~ feet

again and started on the m ad of greater pros perity than ever h'y his predecessor, the late Archdeacon E. J. Bodiugton (applause) . Ind eed, until 10 years a.go, the V icar cf Caine was almost t4e sole governor, and entirely responsibl e for the upkeep of the School - t he finance and oth er things. Then, however, a. new system w&s adopted, and a strong Board of Governors was appointed, the chairman of which was elected eYery year. Partly because of carrying on this tradition and partly because it was conven ient to have the chairman on the spot, so that he might be got .at or s hot at (lau ghter), he had been chairman for 10 years.

LONG DR EAl\I REALISED. "Now (the Archdeacon said) this is a great rlay in the history of this Schoel (applause). It is the realisation of a dref!JD t hat we Governors have had for 10 years. W e have kn own for all that time that the buildings wer ~ not worthy of the School- no school hall, and the dining-room quite inadequate, and the kitchens too far from t he dining hall. The accom modation for the t eaching staff-well, the less said about that the better; it was too utterly absurd. Th eir common room was supposed to take 16 mistresses; it now accommc1fates just one member of the staff. New build · ings were a necessit~', not a luxury. It is amazing to me a nd a ll the Governors how the School carried on so splendidly under the old conditions. To rectify all this w.as a big uncle.rtaking, needing faith and courage. Wbere was t he money to be obtained? It is not easy to go out and pick up £20,()()(). If I were t o go up t o th e City of London a nd ask somebody fer £1()(), he would wa1it t o kn ow what was the security, a nd if I said I was only a poor country parson there would be nothing doing (laughter); but if I asked for £20,000 for St. Mary's School, the reply would be ' Certainly, but would you not like .£25,000? What securitv?' ~laughter) . It was the reputation of St. ~ary SI School {appla use), and so we bor rowed th e money. Not all of it, because parents and friends have given something like £2,000 towards· it, and the Farmer Trust. whom I should like to thank publicly , gave us £500, for whi ch we are all indeed grateful (a ppla u sf') . Of course, we should be very glad to get the rest of the .CZ0.000, and if anybody would like to write out a c heque we will receive it. So it h as com P about that we have this very fine building, and :we are grateful to th e architect who designed it. bnt who we are sorry cannot he with u s owing to ill-health. a nd also to the builder and hi s m en for the excE>ll en t work that h as bE'en don e. Of course, we have ca used sor r ow to the h earts of some. '.l'he most conservative people in the world a r e th e old boys and girls of a school. and I h ave had letters of r egret and spoken messages from old girls at the disapp e~na nce of ancient landmarks. I do not know how many times the hut has been mentioned. I have consoled som e of them by say ing that on e thing will n ever be don e away with, and that is the lime kiln (] a.ughter)-th at µ lace of r efuge where the wicked-no, I will say 'weary' -cease from trouble, and not on l~· n o ravenous beast can go up thereon, but, still more important, no dragon" {applause). Continuing, the Chairman remarkPd that, in handing over the building lcoldng so well inside anq outside with the beautiful old stone froµ~

the \Vorkhouse, he would r emind the girls that t hey would kn ow for all time t hat they were in a work-house and not a mere play-house; a 11d pe rhaps the h_e adrnist ress might take it as a t ribute of gratitude for her devotee] work for the School. P erhaps they might regard it as a presentation t o her on h e r coming of age, for )[iss Matthews was 2.1, and he himself was only 10 (their years of connection with t he sc hool) . "As Governors, we have the utmost fa ith in the future of the School (said the Archdeacon a midst l;J.ppla itse). because I believe it will be carried on in the future as it lrns been carried on in the past, giving a su 11nu , real, practica l education, based on the only lasting fo undation of true Chi·istiau principles, because education seYe red fr om r eligion is but a sound ing brass or tinkling symbol " (a pplause). THE HEADMISTRESS'S WELCOME. 'fh e HEADMISTRESS followed, rising to a cordial r eception. " J1ay I begin (she said), on beh a lf of the School, by "'iving vou a U a ver y h earty welcom e? Our gatherings· have had many settingS--at fir st our guests were housed in what is n ow half a dormitory; then in wha t is now hal f t h e room we devote t o sewing; then, for a few years, our expansion drove us to th e T own Hall. A.Mer its erection , 1920, we met in what is now our gymnasium. T o-day we welcome you proudly to this beautif ul hall. W e ar e most grateful to you for comino- in i;ier son to show your interest and sympat~ y with u s on this occasion. 'l'he School has afways been ri ch in friends; t o-day we feel we are a dding to them in the person s of the Bishop of the diocese. who has hon oured u s hy coming t o share in our festiviti es, and the Mistress of Girton. W e are i ndeed ,proud to have her presence h ere, linking us up with the great university of which she is so h on oured a m ember. d. YEAR AGO-A JD SINCE. "It seems ·a lmost impossibl e to realise that it is only a yea1· ago to-day sin ce we gathered, a. small number, for t he laying of our founda tion stone. So much has happened since then ; so much kindness has been showered u-pon u s. To our Governors we cannot ibe grateful enough. I am sure you will agree that in giving us these buildings they h ave shown a courage and a vision that is beyond praise. We at St. Marv's must be the en vy of hosts of less h a>ppily-governecl sch ools. The SChool wishes me to voice its thanks as best I may. Some of our new buildings you will all see-som e it is n ot possible to throw open to-day· these you must take on trust. The members' of the staff (for years housed in a r oom half the size of the platform) n ow · hive in quarters I have heard d escribed by those who envy u s as "impossibly ideal a nd Utopian." Surely that is prai se enoug;h . 'l'h e domestic staff quarters are equally ideal-while as fo r the gain to u s all in our new mu sic quarters, in our magnificent <lining r oom, and in the hall-well, we are still in the stage, I think, of being u nable to realise it is not only a dream, and that one day we sh all awake and find ourselves l:w.ck in a hut.

Some of us are i.>erhaps thm krng with regret of the disappearance of our garden sqi ge-the scene of our outdoor plays is now lost m the staff and kik'hen blocks Perhaps I may be forgiven if I say that to m; personally it a lways reca lled the· delightfully informal meetiJlg of the Governors at which I was appo_inted to tJhis school 21 yea rs ago. We did not sit down, we wander ed, and I remember wond ering wthitJher h e was leading us, as Archd eacon Bodrngton strod e down the little path amoi:;r. the trees-now, a~as, no more-followed by 1u1 ss Murray. 'I1h1s wa6 part of our Governors' meeting; it end ed in the train from Ca ine to Chippenha m , wher e I was introduced to Mr. Dunne. I went ba ck _to the highlyorgan1sed and successful school rn whioh I was then teaching thinking tJhere could be no gr eater contr ast between two schools, and wondering h ow I dared accept the post then offered me. And yet how could I refuse when it was put to m e by su ch Governors? Any measure of success we have had h ere has been due, in the fir st pla ~e. to our Governo r s, who have been behind us in everything and had always known exactly . wihen to move forward.

Our medical officer, Dr. Ecle, too, can also claim a place in the team of antiqu es, while we are so "hd to see in the audience some of the old :.:irfs of that now almost mythical period . Do you remember when we first ca st covetou s eyes on a triangle of ground , about 15 feet by 75 (it is somewhere below u s at thi s moment), that wo uld ma k e our one tennis court of full size? Do you r em ember our thrill and excitement when our number s rose to 30, 40, and finally (beyonJ all our expectations) reached th e 50 which enabled m e to- j- oin the Association of Headmistresses? But t iere is no time for that game now. Nor am I going -to do more than pass over the present.. To-day is not the time for a formal report on the year's work; but just to re-assure those parents who m ay have fear ed that in a11 our clevelopment our work mi"ht >h ave suffered, I may say_ that we !have had an extraord inarily successful, healthy, and happ:y year. Our examination successes -Girton Schola rship, College Entrance, First M.B., Sc~hool Cer tificate-have been 100 p er cent. I must not linger eith er over the successes of our old girls, though 1 cannot forbea r from alluding to OU!' first fulh- qualified doctor, Dr. Isabel Martinea u, who clear ed the Board in !her final examinations at Birmingham, achieving a record unique among women, if n ot a mong m en , by being Gold Meda llist of h er year in both Medi cine and Surgery, and winning her degree with specia l distinction in Medicine. AS TO THE F U1' URE. " As to the future-and t h a t, aft er all, is what r eally matters : It r em a in s for m e to re iterate our thanks to those who h:we ma de possible thio building, and to assure the Governors tha t as we accept them at their hands we are deeply conscious of the ca ll they make u pon us to prove that their faith in us is not misplaced . It would h ave been a comparativelr easy thing for them to build had we been increasing our number s. But &bout that we- are, I hope, all resolute. W e believe that a sm a ll school may ~'e t be & great SLhool, a nd conscious as we are th a t we are still very far from the icleal we have set oursel ves w e do believe that in the beauty, the dignity, th e simplicity of our new buildings we have a perfect setting for the fin e sch ool we. hope we may one day become. lt i s a trem endou s chal lenge to us a ll."

THE WORLD MAKERS . The MISTRESS of GIRTOK fo llo wed "·ith a deeply t hought-out address, whi ch she prefaced by saying ~hat for a long tim e ;,he h~d a curiosity to visit the school. It wa s on e of the smallest schools that suppli ed them with students, but one of the steacliest in su pp l.v ing them. and of those s ent up she could only say th a t they wPre extrem el y pl easing. For the hour or so she had b een at the School s he had been verv much nleased. and she wish ed it ever:v s\1ccess. "When at a sol emn moment we think of all the good work of the world .as an eternal Being might perceive it (Miss Wodehouse proceeded ) , we may nicture it und er th e form of a great music going OIL Th e process is one of continual creating and s haping a nd u sing,-learning a nd loving and enjoying, from which a song of man:v voices a nd instrum ents goes up .

Everyone has r ecogni sed this partnershiri of fellowmen· the' on e fam il~· who dwell in Him.' ' FURTHJm

PARTNERSHIP-WIDER FAMILY. "But some sens itiv e minds h ave always recoglllsed a further partnership and a wider family. W e praise Goel for our human friend s· but you r em ember the Canticle of St. Francis ; ' Praised be my Lord for our brother the wind . for our sister water, .who i s humble and prec iou s arc! clean; . . ~ for o_u r brother fire, who i s bright, ancl pleasant, and very mighty and strong . . . Praised be my Lord for our mother the earth, which doth sustain us and keep u s . . . ." Or, still moi·e familiar, in our own Prayer Book: '0 ye sun and moon winter and summ er, nights and days. - light ai{d darkness, bless :re the Lord. 0 let the earth bless th_e Lord : yea . let it praise Him, and magnif~· Him for ever.' It is a most proper extension. Wh at concei t it would be in the children of men to beh ave as if they alone were doing the work and making the music, when we could do nothinl!', and could not so -much as live for one hour, without these partners. And if the glorv of God is sliown hy the beauty uf men's gcod deeds _ we mu st think of Him as glorified also b:v the green earth and the bl tie skv. Th ese, like us. lui ve t lieir vocation. ·

x S HORT. STEP . .FURTHER. .. Then it is only a shqrt _ step further to incl ude still other mel\lbers of our groupthose that are cr.eated by man and the earth "or king together. The brain and the h a nd of men bring out the possibilities that wei-e hidden in stone and wood and clay ; the stone and wood and clay en able man to work out the possibilities tha t were hidden in himself . They enable him to fulfil his devices, to bring shelter a nd warmth and beauty into existence, and to lead a richer life thereafter by their mea n s, or to en abl e others to lead it. The new being, made by man and by earth, joins henceforth in all our work and spiritual music-I am sure it is natural to m ost girls and women at any r a te to feel the friend ship of a house, tended by us and putting its kindness round us- and a building is a most r eal and central member of a community. And if i t is a beautiful building, then no t only does it help in all the work we call ours, bu t we feel that its beauty and steadfastness m ake a separate contribution. outlasting our little lives. to the praise of the Lord.

Cheers were given for the i\Iistress of Girton, t he Bis hop, and Governors, a nd tea followed.

THE CONCERT. This programme made a most deligh tful concert, as wa s evident from the appreciation of a large audience. The songs were greatly varied and the enthu siastic choir, under the spiri ted conductorship of Miss J ennings, sh ould be given special cra<lit for their word and tone. 'fh e en joym ent of the evening wa-s greatly a cldecl to by the instrumental music played by th1·ee of the mu sic stall. 'l'he pr o~ranune, too, was a dmirably ba lanced as will be noted by the items which constituted i t: F ollowing six folk songs by the senior s inging class-" Ward the Pirate" (Korfolk ), "t>h eep-Shearing" and "Blackbirds and Thrush es" (Somerset) . "Greens!eaves " (Old English), " To the Ga rden Annie went " (Bohemian), and "The Rising of the Lark" (W elsh)-M iss Prior, i\fiss Williams, and Miss Tomlinson p layed 'frio in G (Hurlstone), and then the senior singing class beautifully sang some s ixt eenth and seventeenth century songs-" All cr eatures now are m erry minded" (three-pa r t m ad riga l by John B ennett).

Two instrumental items-a Yiolin solo, Sonata in E Ma jor (H a ndel ) by i\fiss William s, and a 'cello solo Allegro Spiritoso (Sem allie) by M iss 'I'om linson pr eserved the admirable balance of a r ea lly excell ent programme, the concludi ng feature of whi ch was the modern songs by the senior s inging class-" F ull fathom fiv e," t wo-part song (Irela nd ) ; "Old King Cole," unison song a nd d escant (Dunhill ); "Hymn to Di ana," three-part song (Parry ) ; "The pr ide of the witch," two-part canon (Charles Wood ) ; "The Goslings," two-part song (Bridge) ; aurl t h e uni~ on song "Th e Spaciou s Firma m ent on Iligh " (Ja cob) .

compietion of the work r epresent an acldition to the already large number of important contracts executed by them; it provid es yet another example of the excellent craftsmanship for which thi s firm h as becom e noted over a wid e area.

FINE FORM OF SATISFACTION. St. Mary's Extensions-Those Who Did the Work Entertained. So eminently satisfactory was the work. carried cut l>y a Caine firm of contractors on new bui:4. incti; at St. Ma1-y"s School, Caine, tbat, for fhe tl:!'frd time . at the completion of buildivg oiiera· t.ions, the Headmistress, slaff and students of the School entertained the princip:i,ls of the firm, to.gether with t)Je employees directly concern.e d on the work. Tbc contractors were Messrs. Black· ford and Son, and on 'Vcdnesday of last· week the function took place. . On 5 November, the Wiltshire Gazette recorded tbe dedication of the new buildings at th!'. School. The latest addition comprised an assembly ha ll anu domestic block, and the figures then published gave some idea of the task which had faced those concerned. Last week 's function was a fitting tribute to the architect (Mr. Wa·:lcr liudman, of ChipJJcnham), the contractors and the employe<'S on the successful handling of an important piece of work . The guests invi ted included the Ven. J. W. Coulter (Archdeacon of " ' ilts and Chairman of the Governors of the· School), M r . and Mrs. \\"alter Rudman, Mr. and Mr~. J. H . Blackford, J\Ir. Dennis Blackford, Mr. H. J . Carter, and Mr. P. C. '\'bite (reprcsenting the contractors· stoalf1, Mr. F . Brom:ey (who superintended the erection of th!' building) and Mn;.

The socond Head Girl (Eleanor Booker) also spoke cf the work which had been carr;cd out. She remarked tbat when tho foundation stone wa laid, only a. year previously, no one could have imagined tha,t t4e buildings could rise so swift:y or be so complete, and so beaubful as they were !bat day . Throughout the year, when the School had been on holiday, Blackfol"d"s men had been working continuously . It was not oniy tho building that tho School had admired, but the extraordinary acrobatic powers of those on the job (laughter) . One of the chief amusements duri ng meaft1mes bad been to watch the men s"arming up the seaffolcTing or balancing "·ith the greatest of ease on most precarious-Jookin)! pla nks . '!'he School, now that the buildings were finished, seemed a Yery different and strange plaee without all of the men about the premises. W hen they were taken off the job the School re:t 116 ·though it had lost 11 rnry large number cf p<:oj>lc of whom they liked to think as real u-iends . ·
