PETERITE. Vol_ XVII.

OCTOBER, I goi.

No. 153

SCHOOL LETTER. NOTHER School Term has begun, bringing with it several changes. We have to record the acquisition of St. Olave's as a Preparatory School, then to welcome Messrs. Green, Wilkinson, and Beck who have joined the Staff in the place of Mr. Pawle and Mr. Curgenven. The School has increased considerably in numbers owing to the addition of twenty-six new boys. Cricket, of course, is over and the season has been quite satisfactory to reflect on, victories over the Old Boys and Pocklington quite redeeming the fiascos against Ampleforth and Leeds. Football is now in full swing; one match has been already played against the Old Peterites, resulting in a win for the Old Boys by 26 points to 6 points. The form shown by the School Team was most promising. Under the coaching of Mr. Green and Mr. Wilkinson they ought to do well in School matches, especially as there are nine old Colours remaining. No steps have been taken about the building of the new block during the holidays; the Dayboys' changing-room, however, has been enlarged to meet increasing demands. We must congratulate F. Mitchell on his success at cricket ; and E. J. Walton, E. J. Joicey, and C. Nelson on appearing in their County Football Trials. An interesting lecture was given in the School Hall by the Right Rev. C. P. Scott, Bishop of North China. At the Bishop's request an extra half-holiday was given to the School.

A DAY OUT WITH THE YEOMANRY.

A DAY OUT WITH THE YEOMANRY. It is 3-30 in the morning when an Orderly rides up to our Fort (we are a detachment on out-post duty) with a message to the effect that the Captain of the Squadron wants zo men, mounted and armed, over at the main camp as quickly as possible. There is no noise, no bustle or excitement, yet everything is done smartly and in order, with the result that in less than ten minutes, eighteen troopers and two corporals are over at the main camp, half a mile away. Here everyone is in readiness, and twenty minutes after the alarm is given, nearly a hundred mounted men are in hot pursuit of the Boers, who have had the audacity to try to storm one of our out-posts. I am given charge of twelve men and told off to hold a ridge on our left flank, whilst the main body, making a wide sweep round to the left, eventually leave us as the rear guard. My orders are to hold the ridge until the guns come up, and then to advance and occupy another kopje about three thousand yards away. We occupy the ridge until daylight and then, the artillery coming up, we advance on the other kopje under cover of the guns. As we near the ridge a warm reception is accorded us by the Boers in hiding on the top, but being in open order and advancing at the gallop, very little harm is done. We gain and occupy the ridge, and then our turn comes with the retreating Boers and we do not fail to " get a little of our own back." The " Plan of Campaign " is to occupy a circle of hills and kopjes, driving the Boers into the plain beneath, where they would form a good mark both for our own men and the artillery. Everything goes well, already we have emptied four Boer saddles and at present are resting for a few moments under the shelter of a sheltering kopje to recruit the horses a little an Orderly rides up from the Captain, enquiring if the Lieutenant who was on the extreme left flank is with us he is not.

A DAY OUT WITH THE YEOMANRY.

The Captain himself gallops up. It appears that the Lieutenant with a force of about thirty men has gone too far away from the main body and is being attacked by a force of the enemy numbering nearly sixty men. A relief is at once s.ent out and away we gallop, but by the time we reach the scene of action not a Boer is in sight. Our men have defended themselves well, four more Boers being found dead on the ground around. Unfortunately five of our men are captured, including the Lieutenant in charge of the flank. The guns have retired and as the Boers are in far superior numbers, we are reluctantly compelled to retire also.

As we round a kopje in our retirement we overtake five men walking along in a rather downcast manner ; these turn out to be the men who have been captured, the Boers having taken away their arms, horses, boots and the greater part of their clothes. The Lieutenant looks as if he had been in a prize fight and got badly mauled, as his face and eyes are severely cut and bruised. He has resisted the Boers when they despoiled him of his garments, with disastrous results to himself—one man being no match for a dozen, especially when they are armed with sjamboks, &c. We mount the officer, and retire by sections on our rearguard as quickly as possible. A muster roll is hastily called, when it is found we have two men wounded and five dismounted (the men taken by the Boers), but no serious casualties. On the other hand, we have the satisfaction of knowing we have placed eight of the enemy " hors de combat." Nothing further can be done, so, leaving a strong rearguard and taking our wounded and dismounted men with us, we retire on our base. This is rather an unfortunate day with us, as, but for an error in judgment, none of our men would have been taken. Yet when one thinks it over, two wounded and five captured is surely well balanced by eight killed and certainly some wounded, on the other side of the ledger.

PRIZE-GIVING.

Here then is a sample of one of dozens of skirmishes and expeditions, which occur with such (almost daily) regularity as to become quite monotonous. B.B.

PRIZE-GIVING. The Rector of Exeter College, Oxford (Rev. W. W. Jackson, D.D.), presented the prizes on Wednesday afternoon at St. Peter's School, York. The Dean of York was in the chair, and was supported by the Rev. Chancellor Temple, Rev. Canon Argles, Rev. Canon Watson, Mr. John Newton, Mr. T. B. Whytehead, and the Head Master (Rev. E. C. Owen). A large number of parents and friends were present. The Dean of York said they met again feeling that the anticipations of a year ago had already been more than realised, and he hoped that Mr. Owen, if he did not overwork himself, would before very long be the Headmaster of the most flourishing as well as the oldest school in England. After the Headmaster had read the list of successes by Peterites during the past year, the Dean introduced Dr. Jackson, who, he said, came with excellent credentials, being head of one of the most famous colleges at Oxford. The Rev. Dr. Jackson said that his presence at St. Peter's was doubtless due to his connection with the University of Oxford and his very old friendship with the present Headmaster of the school, whom he rejoiced to see in such a position, and with such bright prospects for the future of the school. Coming from Oxford to York, he felt that he was coming from a modern institution, as it were, to one of hoary antiquity, for the school of St. Peter's claimed descent from one of those seminaries which were the parents of the universities of Europe and of England. The boys of the school had indeed a most precious inheritance, one which came to them by no effort of their own, but which boundless wealth could not command. It was theirs not merely to be proud of, but to prove themselves worthy of in every way. He would

congratulate the parents and friends of the pupils upon having such a school at their doors. In these days of educational unrest, when we were thinking so much of the organisation of secondary education, it was a distinct advantage to have in their midst an institution which was capable of undertaking any duty which might be laid upon it. Such schools as St. Peter's, planted in the centre of large towns, would gain by any organisation that might be in store. We must not think too much of the machinery of education; the great thing was to be doing the work of education. They had a school whose lines were marked out for it, and with an illustrious history worthy of the greatest public schools in the country, both with regard to old traditions and the number of distinguished men it had produced. He need not speak of the character of the education, because those present would be in entire sympathy with his views. No doubt they wished to retain the old character of the school under all circumstances, a school which diffused the university spirit and judged itself by university standards. All English schools would have to adapt themselves to some extent to the advance of knowledge, and especially to the advance of the knowledge of natural science. But whilst they must learn to make themselves masters of Nature, it should never. be forgotten that they had also to make themselves acquainted with mankind, first themselves and then all those around them. The justification of what was called the old classical curriculum was not merely the learning of Latin and Greek, but that it helped us to understand men. The Romans and the Greeks had minds, and they had left their impression on our lives. We must take care to remember, when we thought of substituting some other kind of training, that a classical education was valuable so long as it had this study of men pervading it. We owed it to natural science that it had deepened our notions of accuracy and thoroughness, and the boys should carry those notions into all that they did. They should take a genuine interest in their work, remembering that they were not being trained to be electricians or professors, but they were being trained to be men. All their faculties were cultivated and brought to the highest state of perfection to fit them for the service of

men, so that in serving men they might serve God. This was the Christian ideal of education, which the great schools had never let go, and they must find the means of carrying it out more, effectually. The speaker referred to the importance of having day boys from the immediate district, and said that in this connection games were a most valuable means of keeping alive the esprit-decorps and bringing the boys together. He was glad to hear that on this occasion the prize for proficiency in athletics went to the day-boys. He wished the school every possible success, and he hoped the parents would support the Headmaster and his staff and help them to make it in every way worthy of its great traditions. The Headmaster detailed some of the principal events in the history of the school during the past twelve months, and said that they had begun to extend, having taken a house opposite the school in which the non-resident masters would be accommodated. A cricket ground of five or six acres not very far from the school had been leased, and this would enable them to secure for every boy, no matter how small, a fair share in the athletics of the school. Plans were in preparation for the erection of a new science block, including a separate chemical and physical laboratory, lecture room, carpenter's room, fives court, and a bicycle room. This last, he might mention—as he noticed an austere frown on the faces of one or two of the Governors—was thrown in without extra charge. Owing to the changes at St. Olave's School, which for many years had been a flourishing school of sixty or seventy boys, the Governors had been asked to take over the management. As a result of the negotiations, St. Olave's School would remain in its present buildings and be largely managed by its present staff, and would next term re-open as the preparatory school of St. Peter's. Boys would not be compelled to go on to St. Peter's. These were the first steps in a scheme of external extension which had been discussed in considerable detail, and which the Governors were determined to carry forward bit by bit. He would not have it supposed that he held that the success of a school could be gauged by the extent of its buildings or the number of its boys. A school was not a machine which could be

judged by the brightness and speed of its wheels ; it was an organism which must be judged by its soul. At the present moment the life of England and Greater England was throbbing with vitality. That vitality needed direction, and that direction must come from those who were educated in such schools as St. Peter's. When he came to York he thought it was one of the most remarkable things that they had no school motto. There was something stimulating in a motto, and he wrote to the Bishop of Bristol, their most distinguished living old boy, asking him if he could find a proper motto for the school. He selected the words " Super vias antiquas," but he omitted the word " stare " because they intended not to stand but to go forward. In the educational world there were considerable changes ahead, and it would be no use trying to swim fast in a certain direction without swimming with the current. But whilst advancing, they could retain their hold of the past, and though the branches of the tree were spreading outwards to the present and upwards to the future, the roots were at the same time striking deeper into the ground. All that St. Peter's had been in the past, all that public schools had been in the past, that, so far as the efforts of a unanimous governing body and a unanimous staff could secure it, would St. Peter's remain. They would take on as much as was valuable of the new education, but the soul would remain the same. And the soul would be the soul of the great English public schools. The Rev. Dr. Jackson then distributed the prizes, the results being as follows :PRIZES.—Beginners' race : Cadle. Neat dive : SWIMMING Richards i. Long plunge : Pulleyn ii. Object diving : Laughton.

OLD PETERITES•

In delightful cricket weather this annual two days' match commenced on June 28th. D. Carter captained the 0.P.'s and brought with him a fairly strong team. However, thanks to some splendid fielding and Yeld's bowling, we managed to beat them by

CRICKET.

thirty-nine runs. In the second innings the " O.P.'s collapsed before the bowling of Yeld, who took seven wickets for twenty-six runs, Carter and C Nelson being the only batsmen to reach double figures. In the first innings we won the toss and decided to bat. Sale and Winning commenced the innings, but when the score stood at eleven, the former was unfortunately run out. With Yeld in the second wicket put on fifty-five runs. The third, fourth and fifth wickets fell at seventy-eight, eighty-four and ninety-eight respectively. When Roy came in another stand was made, and the eighth wicket was not captured until the score was brought up to 125. Of the last four men, Crosthwaite and Farrow reached double figures, and the innings closed at 163. The O.P.'s then opened their innings, Cadman and Kirke first going to the wickets. These two batsmen made a long stand and forty-nine was reached before Cadman was caught off Roy. He had made thirty-one runs. Kirke carried his score to sixty-six before he was bowled by Yeld. His innings was rather a lucky one. It included thirteen threes and four twos and was the highest individual score of the match. None of the remaining batsmen distinguished themselves with the exception of Greeves and Scott, who put on seventy-four runs for the sixth wicket. The former hit hard and his innings included five fours and four threes. Eventually the O.P.'s passed our score by twenty-six runs. They made altogether 189, and of these 153 were due to Kirke, Greeves, Cadman and Scott. Of the School bowlers Roy took three wickets for sixty-one and Yeld three for fifty-eight. In the second innings, the School made a disastrous start, three wickets falling for five runs. However, before the fourth wicket fell the score was taken to forty-one, the result of a partnership between Fisher and Newton. When Roy came in another stand was made and the score taken to seventy-seven. During the remainder of the innings, Crosthwaite, Hatfield, and Pulleyn, were the chief scorers, and when the last wicket fell our total was 134, the last seven wickets putting on 129 runs. Fisher was top scorer with 35, which included ten threes.

CRICKET.

The O.P.'s had now to get 109 runs to win but they quite collapsed, and only made sixty-nine, of which C. Nelson and D. Carter were responsible for thirty-one. The O.P.'s were unlucky not to have Kirke, who could not play owing to an injury to his foot. Yeld and Roy again took all the wickets, the former taking seven for twenty-six and the latter two for thirty-seven. They were backed up by very smart fielding, Fisher especially being noticeable in this respect. ST. PETER'S.

FOOTBALL PROSPECTS. Our prospects for this season are encouraging, and we ought certainly to improve upon last season. We have nine colours left, who should all prove useful in their several capacities. Our five old forwards, Pulleyn, Newton, Crosthwaite, Farrow and Harrison, with three others, perhaps Crombie, Sleightholm and R. G. Newton, ought to form a good pack. Armstrong and Yeld will again be our halves, and, with more experience than last year will

FOOTBALL.

no doubt give a good account of themselves. We expect Roy, our only last year's three-quarter, to be good this season. His three colleagues, who will probably be Sale, E. Yeld and Black, though light, with practice should develop into useful men. Richards, our old full-back, ought again to fill his post well. Mr. Wilkirison and Mr. Green will be of great assistance to our forwards in the club matches, and under their able coaching no doubt we shall improve daily, and have, we hope, a successful season. There seems to be a lack of talent amongst the Juniors to fill up the Second XV., who will, however, have a good nucleus in Fisher, Baldwin, Clark, Nelson and Cadle.

FOOTBALL. ST. PETER'S SCHOOL V. OLD PETERITES.

ball was, however, still kept in our 25, and at last Joicey got over the line. The try was unconverted. Play was then more even, although Richards had to save again. Armstrong stopped a dangerous movement by collaring King in fine style. The School forwards gained ground by a good rush, headed by Harrison. Their efforts were in vain, and Walton obtaining possession passed to King, who passed back, but the pass was intercepted. A free kick was given against the Old Peterites, but afforded no relief to us, for Leonard, obtaining the ball, ran half the length of the field and scored. Bingham failed to convert. In spite of good play by Pulleyn, Walton crossed the line and scored an unconverted try. Joicey nearly got through, but was finely brought down by Armstrong, who played well throughout the game. The School at this point were out-matched, Nelson scoring twice and Joicey once. No goals were kicked. P. Yeld's play was here noticeable, as he kicked and followed up, tackling his man before he could return. The School forwards took the ball on, headed by T. C. Newton and Pulleyn. Some hard play ensued, and the School were in the Old Boys' 25 when the whistle blew for half-time. Score : Old Boys, 18 points, School, nil. On the resumption of play Pulleyn kicked off. A good bout of passing was indulged in by the Old Boys' threequarters, which ended in the registering of a try by Leonard. The Old Boys continued to press, and Nelson was well brought down by R. Newton. P. Yeld saved well and Richards brought Hood down near the line. Nelson scored from a good pass by Hood, but no goal ensued. The School now began to play up well. A forward rush brought the ball down to the Old Boys' 25, and Roy very nearly scored, but was brought down just outside the line. Several scrums ensued near the line, and at last a rush by the School forwards ended in the scoring of a try, which was unconverted. The School kept up the pressure, and P. H. Yeld got over again. Pulleyn took the kick, but failed. The School was here having the best of the game, and continued to press till the end of the game, when the Old Boys rallied, the ball being in our 25' when the whistle blew. Score : Old Boys 26 points, School 6 points.
