SCHOOL LETTER. UPER antiquas vias " is truly a motto for Editors.

A lightning calculation had revealed the fact that the Peterite ought to go to press in four days and as yet it had barely been mentioned.

Frantically we turned over the pages of the back numbers seeking inspiration, but alas, Editor after Editor had evidently done the same, so wearily we turned away and omitting the time-honoured lament over our fate we introduce another School Year.

The spirit of the times is upon us and what was discussed yesterday is accomplished to-day and will be old news tomorrow.

Mr. and Mrs. Toyne, although they have only been with us one term are already as much part of the tout ensemble as if they had been among us for years.

Last term a few wild spirits whispered of acquiring the next door field to enlarge the cricket ground. At the Prizegiving (which is found fully described elsewhere) it was definitely settled that not only the field next door but also all the land lying between us and the houses in Clifton should be purchased, together with the big house and grounds of Clifton Grove, which is to be opened as a boarding-house in January by Mr. Tendall. This term armies of navvies are relaying the cricket pitch and levelling the extension. A junior football ground has already been made on the further

field and exciting matches take place there regularly between the recently formed Football Leagues. A note of sadness is, however, introduced by the necessary sacrifice of the fine trees by the side of the old cricket ground.

Last term also we had dreams of a covered-in Fives Court, and this has so far materialised that not only has the old Court been repaired and covered-in, but a larger one has been built alongside suitable for Squash Racquets. Both Courts are always in demand, and as they are lit by artificial light can be used after dark. They are not even unoccupied during School hours, for members of Ladies' and Gentlemen's Clubs from the town, who assisted us to erect them, play at that time.

The other great improvement effected during the holidays has been the enlargement and alteration of the Dayboys' accommodation in the Science Block, which gives them good changing rooms in addition to a common room.

We are sorry to lose Rev. B. W. Wood from the Staff, and Rev. R. 0. Walker having accepted the living of Osbaldwick, near York, has been compelled to resign many of his duties, However, this does not deter us from extending a welcome to Mr. D. Ross Milner, who has joined us this term.

There is considerable keenness among the different Societies in the School, who seem to be receiving their old time support.

The Rifle Club alone is dormant and that only pending the construction of a new and improved range.

We cannot pass by without congratulating the XV. on their performances up to date, and conclude by wishing them the best of luck for the remainder of the season.

SPEECH DAY AND PRIZE-GIVING. A year of more than usual importance was concluded on Wednesday, July 3oth, when our new Headmaster held his first Speech Day.

SPEECH DAY AND PRIZE GIVING.

861

The Dean of York, as he has done for many years, presided, and was supported on the platform by Mr. S. M. Toyne (Headmaster), Rev. G. T. Handford (a former Headmaster), the Bishop of Beverley, Canon Greenwood, and Mr. K. E. T. Wilkinson (Governors), and the members of the Staff.

THE DEAN OF YORK, at the outset, said that it was the custom at the death of the Sovereign to cry " Le Roi est mort vine le Roi." Now at first sight it seemed presumptious to attempt to connect such a proceeding with a School gathering. However, he thought he was perfectly justified when taking into account the great age of the School. Its history went back to Saxon times, before the Crown of England was established, and surely on that account alone it was worthy of reverence and recognition on the part of all who valued education as the great factor in the welfare of the nation. They could not, if they wished, omit to refer also to the great work accomplished by the School during the long ages it had existed since the days of Alcuin. How many thousands had passed through its doors, entering as children and leaving to take their places as men in the Army, Navy and public services, doing their duty to God and man during their time on earth. He would say without any lack of reverence to the nation and to the dignity of the Crown that the work of St. Peter's School ought to be put side by side with that of any other institution in its services to the nation. Now the words of the herald come true in the case of the School as well as the State, for our late Headmaster has but recently left and to-day we are welcoming his successor. Canon Owen, however, will always be remembered in the history of the School for his great and lasting work.

Mr. S. M. TOYNE (Headmaster) upon rising expressed his gratification at being able to welcome to the School so many friends at the first Prize-giving since he entered the institution.

He believed the education of the country was passing through a very critical stage. In his opinion there was a great danger of education suffering through the theorising of those who had no

862

SPEECH DAY AND PRIZE GIVING.

practical knowledge of teaching. On the one hand they had the theorists who thought that all educational work must be made as bright and attractive as possible, and that all those lessons which did not appeal immediately to the instincts of the boys must be abolished. At the same time something must be said for the plea that lessons might be made interesting, and the drier subjects could be made More interesting with advantage.

During the first term of a Master it was always dangerous to make too many changes in the work of a school, but during next term he hoped to introduce some changes which he believed would be advantageous, by way of correlating work. He believed that the School should be made something more than an institution for fitting boys to enter business, though that was one of its principal aims. But it was not necessary to pursue their course crab-like, but to prepare on the way to become more able and fitted to serve the State in whatever sphere the State might require them. The main ideal was to turn out manly, independent, well-educated young men, and at the same time to see what was the natural bent of each boy. and to see that it was particularly well cultivated. After complimenting the leading boys upon the excellence of their work the Headmaster proceeded to say that when a new Headmaster went to a school the boys usually fought shy of him. That, however, was not his experience, and beginning the term with 66 boys they had for the winter term 86. At St. Olave's, also he was told, Miss Wilson had a record entry for next term.

He believed great benefit would accrue from the recent enlargement of their sphere of influence by the acquisition of Clifton Grove. But they must not think of enlarging their numbers without a corresponding heightening of the standard of their work, and next term he hoped to be able to introduce the public school entry examination. After referring to the sports of the term, and various successes achieved by recent scholars, and the gift of a scholarship by an Old Boy, now the Sheriff of York, he, in conclusion, highly complimented H. E. K. Reynolds

SPEECH DAY AND PRIZE GIVING.

863

upon his essay on " National Character and National Sport," which, he said, expressed thoughts they would not expect to find in a boy.

THE SHERIFF OF YORK (Mr. Ernest Leetham), before giving away the prizes, said that someone had jokingly asked him why he was not wearing his regalia to-day. He replied that he did not come in his official capacity as Sheriff of York but as an Old Boy. It was some forty years since he, as a very timid boy, had first entered that hall and was amazed at the vastness of the institution, and still more amazed and awed by the cold dignity and classic decorum by which he found himself surrounded. Looking back over the six or seven years that followed he remembered that he had never once won a prize, but he had always cheerfully joined in the cheers and general acclamation for those who were more fortunate. It was true, therefore, that not the number of prizes won, but the average work of a school was its chief recommendation and merit. All boys' minds were not fitted for winning prizes, though none the less clever on that account. Were he a schoolmaster he thought he would separate the boys with the quick brains from their slower fellows, and if their brains were five times quicker than others give them five times the work to do. He was one who thought they had not yet hit the kernel of education. It should not exist merely for the accumulation of the facts of history, mathematics, Latin, etc., not to make their boys walking encyclopaedias ; not cultured men for the sake of culture alone, but to give knowledge as a means to an end, and that end the production of a great, good, and noble character. He believed education was of more importance to the people now than it had ever been. There was a greater need for highly educated men in every branch of life than ever before. In the Church, and amongst the professions, this was particularly true. People now enjoyed greater liberties than ever before, and they needed, therefore, more diligent training to act rightly. He owed a debt of gratitude to St. Peter's School which he could never repay. He must

864

SPEECH DAY AND PRIZE GIVING.

admit that the teaching he obtained was valuable, principally because it taught him to teach himself. Lest he should be misunderstood, he meant by that, that St. Peter's got the best of a boy out of him, gave him a line of policy, and then it remained with him to work it out himself. He thought there was a great future for the School, and believed they would all live to see the new building filled to the uttermost.

MR. K. E. T. WILKINSON then moved a vote of thanks to the Dean for taking the Chair. REV. G. T. HANDFORD (a former Headmaster), in seconding this motion, said it was many years since he had sat on that platform. He was now going to ask something which, though it might appear small to others, meant much to him, and that was that all Old Peterites who had any respect or liking for him should transfer it together with their support and loyalty to the new Headmaster, Mr. S. M. Toyne.

After a most successful gathering Mr. and Mrs. Toyne entertained all the visitors to tea on the lawn.

FOOTBALL PROSPECTS.

867

FOOTBALL PROSPECTS. With only four of last year's colours our prospects of a successful season are problematical. Without doubt we shall be strong behind—Wray, Medhurst, and Haynes are all much improved Greenwood, though rather slow is shaping well as scrum half, and Pattinson promises well at full back. Richards is playing on the wing—though slow, he is a strong runner.

Everything, however, turns on the forwards. Lighter than usual, they will have to be in perfect training, and play to the last ounce, if they are to hold some of the packs they are to meet. Lack of confidence and an unreadiness for the unexpected are at present apparent. We hope that time will soon remedy these defects. Millhouse has now a sounder knowledge of the game and may become first-rate, and Harpley and Richardson have come on a good deal.

We have certainly started well—three victories in succession against much heavier teams, is a start to be proud of. We wish the same success may attend Wray and his team throughout the season.

There is a boom amongst the juniors. A league has been started for which three teams are entered, and the keenness and skill already shown augur well for the future. At present there is far too much kicking—is it, in some cases, because they don't like being tackled ?

V.

HEADINGLEY " A."

Played at York on Wednesday, October 1st. For the first match of the season the School met a team possessing a considerably heavier scrum, and several strong players amongst the backs. But by some useful kicking the game was carried from the first into our opponents' half, and from a penalty Wray dropped a goal. Headingley then pressed very strongly and managed, by using their superior weight, to carry the ball over the School line. The School forwards were now getting the ball in the scrum, thus giving the backs great chances, and after several good passing movements, two of which were successful, in sending Mr. Toyne and Haynes over the line, the School had gained a considerable lead on their opponents, which was improved on before half-time.

Half-time score : School, 18 pts. ; Headingley " A," 6 pts.

In the second half the School opened promisingly by scoring another try far out, the chief factor being Mr. Toyne, who made an excellent dribble, and was supported well by the forwards. Then Headingley showed their superiority forward, and pushed our scrum all over the place. Consequently, Headingley pressed continually, and scored two converted tries, in spite of strong tackling by Wray and Haynes. The School managed to keep their opponents out till the end, and won a game keenly contested to the last.

Result : St. Peter's, 23 pts. ; Headingley " A," 16 pts.

FOOTBALL. ST. PETER'S v. OLD HAILEYBURIANS.

Played at York on Saturday, October 4th. In their second match of the season the School met a team although disjointed, yet individually very strong. The York forwards for the first five minutes were asleep and before the team really had roused itself, Haileybury had scored and converted a try, in spite of a good tackle by Haynes. The forwards were now warming to the game and by a combined rush took the game into our opponents' " 25 " ; stimulated by this effort the backs got together, and a combined passing movement sent Wray over to score and convert his own try. Wray further established a lead for the School by kicking a magnificent dropped goal.

Half-time score : St. Peter's, 9 pts. ; Old Haileyburians, 5 pts.

Play was resumed, and kept in mid-field, where the School forwards were gallantly holding their own, until Medhurst cutting through made a fine opening for Richardson to score a try, subsequently converted by Wray. Haileybury determining not to let the School gain too much lead, scored later and converted. Wray then making a fine run, scored between the posts. Making a last effort the Old Haileyburians scored twice again, and the School gained an exciting victory by one point.

Result : St. Peter's, 19 pts. ; Old Haileyburians, 18 pts.

TEAM :-Full back, P. A. W. Richards ; three-quarters, G. C. West, W. H. Haynes, W. R. Wray, E. Keates ; half-backs, C. E. H. Medhurst, H. B. Greenwood ; forwards, G. Millhouse, A. 0.

The School met a team which consisted of heavy forwards and heavy backs. The School pack were able to hold their

own, and even more, during the first half, but during the latter

871

part of the second half, were hopelessly overwhelmed, and another tight game was only just saved. The Old Peterites scored immediately after the kick-off, owing to faulty kicking by the School. The School backs asserted their superiority in combination and considerable ground was gained, when Wray, taking the ball from the line-out, scored a brilliant try. The score was increased later by several tries by Haynes and Wray, and a magnificent drop-goal by the latter.

Half-time score : St. Peter's, 22 pts. ; Old Peterites, 5 pts.

On the resumption of play, the School made several attempts to score, and very nearly did so. Then the Old Peterites securing the ball from a scrum in the centre of the ground after a fine passing movement, enabled Fisher to score far out an unconverted try. The Old Peterites continued to press and drew their score perilously close to that of the School, owing to some careless mistakes by the backs. The match ended in a victory for the School by three points.

Result : St. Peter's, 22 pts. ; Old Peterites, 19 pts.

TEAM :-Full back, E. P. Pattinson ; three-quarters, G. C. West, W. H. Haynes, W. R. Wray, P. A. W. Richards ; half backs, C. E. H. Medhurst, H. B. Greenwood ; forwards, R. A. Harpley, G. Millhouse, A. O. Johnson, H. W. Hussey, H. L. Chilman, W. N. Bryning, H. Richardson, G. B. E. Reynolds.

ST. PETER'S v.

LEEDS G.S.

Played at York on Saturday, October 18th. The School easily outclassed their opponents both behind and in the scrum, although in the latter they were of equal weight. From the first the School pressed, and Haynes opened the scoring with a try behind the posts. The forwards were heeling the ball very well and gave the backs all the opportunities which could be wished for. The score gradually mounted up until at halftime the School had established a colossal lead of 38 pts. to nil.

872

FOOTBALL.

The forwards had given several brilliant exhibitions of dribbling, led by Harpley, Millhouse, and Bryning, and Chilman had gained considerable ground by using his weight to break through foes which fell before him. After half-time Leeds took a considerable share in the attacking, but did not penetrate the home defence. For a quarter of an hour or so the School did not cross the line, but towards the latter end of the game, scored very fast. Several good tries were scored. Wray (7), Richards, (2), Haynes (I), Greenwood (I), West (r), Millhouse (r), Medhurst (I), Harpley (r).

Result : St. Peter's, 67 pts. ; Leeds G.S., nil.

TEAM.-Full back, E. P. Pattinson ; threequarters, G. C. West, W. H. Haynes, W. R. Wray, P. A. W. Richards ; half backs, C. E. H. Medhurst, H. B. Greenwood ; forwards, R. A. Harpley, G. Millhouse, A. 0. Johnson, H. L. Chilman, H. W. Hussey, W. N. Bryning, H. Richardson, D. Cluff.

ST. PETER'S V. POCKLINGTON SCHOOL. Played at Pocklington on Wednesday, October 22nd. The School in their first away match met a team which had scored a substantial victory in their previous match. So it promised to be a good game, and although the score shows a great superiority over Pocklington, nevertheless the game was always keenly contested throughout. Pocklington at the outset carried the ball with a rush into the School " 25," but after some safe kicking and good forward play St. Peter's gained considerable ground. From a scrum in front of goal, Wray scored between the posts. The School backs once more carried out a good passing movement, from which West scored far out after a determined run. Later Wray scored a brilliant try, after running round the blind side of the scrum. The same player made a splendid opening from which Haynes ran over easily.

Pocklington scored from a penalty kick just before half-time.

Half-time score : St. Peter's, i8 pts. ; Pocklington, 3 pts.

FOOTBALL.

873

On resumption of play the game was evenly contested on both sides until Haynes getting the ball from a line-out dashed over in excellent style. Pocklington, although being substantially beaten in scoring, never lost heart, and intercepting a pass, scored far out. Several tries were then scored by St. Peter's before time and the match ended in a most satisfactory victory.

Result : St. Peter's, 44 pts. ; Pocklington, 8 pts.

TEAM.-Full back, E. P. Pattinson ; threequarters, G. C. West, W. H. Haynes, W. R. Wray, P. A. W. Richards ; half backs, C. E. H. Medhurst, H. B. Greenwood ; forwards, R. A. Harpley, G. Millhouse, A. 0. Johnson, H. Richardson, H. W. Hussey, W. N. Bryning, H. L. Chilman, D. Cluff.

ST. PETER'S V. RIPON GRAMMAR SCHOOL. Played at Ripon on Saturday, October 25th. The School met a weak team, and completely overweighted their opponents throughout. Although the final score was so substantial, there were times when the York backs were compelled to tackle safely to avoid Ripon's scoring. In the first half the School backs never combined really well, and many chances were missed, but the forwards were always getting the ball both in the scrum and in the line-out. The School, led by 36 pts. to nil at half-time.

In the second half a new spirit seemed to enter the York backs, as from the very start they utilised magnificent combination, which resulted in some fine tries by Medhurst, Wray and Haynes.

Later Greenwood, picking up cleverly from a forward rush, dashed over the line after a fine run. Wray kicked his usual drop-goal, and Pattinson, who had been left idle at full back during the major part of the game, after some good combination with Wray, scored between the posts. The tries were scored

by Wray (8), Haynes (6), Richards (2), Medhurst (2), West (2), Pattinson (I), Greenwood (1), Chilman (I), and Wray kicked 18 goals.

Result : St. Peter's, 107 pts. ; Ripon, nil.

ST. PETER'S 2ND XV. v. LEEDS G.S. 2ND XV. Played at Leeds, Saturday, October 18th. The School 2nd XV. were opposed by a vastly heavier team than themselves.

From the beginning it was evident that they were out-classed in weight, speed, and experience. Several attempts were made by the York backs to break away, led by Reed, but they were frustrated. Leeds began by taking the ball down to the York " 25," where their backs after several attempts, scored an unconverted try. Then a series of tries was scored by our opponents, chiefly by the sheer weight of their scrum, although the scoring was checked quite thoroughly by Agnew and Reed's collaring and falling on the ball.

Half-time : Leeds G.S., 17 pts. ; St. Peter's, nil.

The School opened the second half without Yeoman, who had been hurt before the interval. The Leeds forwards again forced the ball over the line. Then through some high tackling among the backs Leeds scored several tries out on the wing.

At times Reed's tackling was very deadly and spoilt many opposing passing movements. In the latter part the Leeds forwards scored pretty freely, and the game ended in an easy victory for Leeds.

Result : Leeds G. S. 2nd XV., 44 pts. ; St. Peter's 2nd XV., nil.

CLIFTON GROVE ESTATE.

THE CLIFTON GROVE ESTATE AND CRICKET FIELD EXTENSION.

Readers of the Peterite may be interested to hear how the new estates are being laid out, and subscribers to the fund would undoubtedly like to hear how their money is being spent. Without their subscriptions it would have been impossible to make this purchase and to effect the necessary improvements after the purchase had been made. There is one great improvement to the cricket ground, which has still to remain for future years unless some keen cricketer or benevolent friend of the School makes a handsome present.

The plans are as follows :—The Grove grounds will have two football grounds, one full-size and one for juniors. The House will be opened as a boarding house by Mr. Tendall in January and will have accommodation for 20 boarders. Extensive alterations are being made under the supervision of Mr. Fairbank, and the whole building will be brought thoroughly up-to-date.

The field between our present cricket ground and the lane is now being levelled so as to form a much-needed extension for our cricket and possibly a hockey ground as well. The bank will be moved back a short way, but money alone prevents it being still further pushed back. The line of trees has had to be sacrificed, though the two at the far end will be spared.

There will be a sunken range, 25 and 5o yards, in the Grove ground, which can be used with safety at any time of the day.

Two grounds are in use in the Grove, but senior games and matches are still played at Water Lane. Old Peterites can hardly imagine the difference without the hedge, there is an imposing spaciousness about the grounds which transforms them into worthy rivals of any school grounds in the north.

NEW SQUASH RACQUETS AND FIVES COURT. The new Court has been opened and is not often vacant.

The School use it till 5-30 when the York Squash Racquets and Fives Club occupy it until eleven o'clock if they so wish it.

The Court is well ventilated and well lighted with electric light and of the standard proportions. It is equally well suited for

878

SWIMMING SPORTS.

the four game of Rugby Fives. The old Court has been relaid, the front and back walls recemented and a roof put on, so that it can be used in wet weather. At the same time the lonely aspect of the old Court has disappeared.

SWIMMING SPORTS. The Annual Swimming Sports were held at the end of July in Marygate Baths. The competition was keen both in the Senior and Junior events, although the times were not so good as they might have been owing perhaps to the claims of cricket, which prevented much practise. Below we give a brief account of the events.

4 LENGTHS HANDICAP ( Junior).

This proved to be an interesting race. Shearman, with a start of thirty yards, set a good pace, but his lead was being decreased every length by G. B. M. Reed (i5 yds.) who was, however, unable to draw level in time. Shearman eventually came in some four yards ahead of Reed, while G. B. E. Reynolds was a close third.

6 LENGTHS HANDICAP (Senior).

The handicapping of this race was not so good as that of the Junior 4 lengths. Richards and H. E. K. Reynolds were scratch, G. B. M. Reed had fifteen yards, and Shearman one length.

This order was maintained throughout the race, except that Reynolds gradually drew ahead of Richards. Shearman, by keeping a steady stroke won by about half a length.

DIVING FOR STYLE (Senior).

The standard for this was good. Reed was the general favourite, but owing to the length of time he stayed under water and the way he came up, the judges decided to place Richards first and H. E. K. Reynolds second.

SWIMMING SPORTS. DIVING FOR OBJECTS.

879

(Open)

The aim of the competitors was to bring up three plates from the bottom as soon as they could. H. E. K. Reynolds succeeded in bringing up two in 32 secs., but Richards brought all three to land in 244 secs. The next round provoked much amusement as only two of the competitors succeeded in finding any of the plates, Reynolds bringing in one and Richards two. Accordingly the first place was awarded to Richards and the second to Reynolds.

DIVING FOR STYLE (Beginners).

The style was distinctly promising, especially that of Radford and Ferguson, who both had to have some six dives each before the judges decided that Radford was the better, with Ferguson a very close second.

LIFE-SAVING. This event has been revived after the lapse of several years and it proved to be a great success. Considerable keenness was shown in bringing the dummy to land, which Richards succeeded in doing in 91 secs., while Shearman was second in 128 secs.

2 LENGTHS (Beginners).

The pace from beginning to end was fast for a beginners' race.

S. P. George took the lead immediately and kept it the whole way, though closely pressed by English, whom he succeeded in beating by about 3 feet.

QUARTER-MILE (Open).

The entries for this, generally a popular race, were few. G. B. E. Reynolds at the start forged ahead of the others, although H. E. K. Reynolds was not very far behind him and promised to be dangerous. But after the sixth length he fell out, leaving G. B. E. Reynolds to win very easily from G. B. M. Reed, who, however, showed he had the making of a swimmer in him. The time was 8 minutes 33 secs.

88o

DEBATING SOCIETY. ONE LENGTH (Open).

This was one of the most exciting races. Richards by a good start gained two or three yards at once. This lead he kept till half-way when H. E. K. Reynolds began to gain, but Richards, by a spurt, kept the lead and won by a few inches.

ONE LENGTH ( Junior).

From the start to the finish, Reed gained on the others, and eventually won by several yards. Shearman being second.

RELAY RACE (House v. Dayboys).

As usual, great interest was taken in this race. Storey for the Dayboys and Radford for the House started, neither being able to gain much on the other. But in the last three, the Dayboys were decidedly the better and won very easily by a breadth.

DEBATING SOCIETY. A Meeting was held in the Library on Monday, September 29th, with the object of reviving the Debating Society.

Mr. S. M. Toyne was elected President.

W. H. Haynes, Vice-President. ' A. 0. Johnson, Secretary.

It was decided to hold Debates on the following dates :Saturday, October 18th.—" That the craving for Picture Palaces is deleterious to the English Nation."

Saturday, December 6th.—" That the right to strike must be maintained."

DEBATING SOCIETY.

881

On Saturday, October 18th, a Debate took place in the Big Hall and was very well attended. The President was the Proposer of a motion " That the craving for Picture Palaces is deleterious to the English Nation." He made a very strong speech arguing firstly that the craving for Picture Palaces is a kind of excitement which is one of the symptoms of the present day. Secondly, although the films may possibly be instructive yet surely most people go to see the comic element so that the plea of instruction drops out. Thirdly, the pictures are almost always of a distorting nature so that the poor man is generally the hero and the rich man the villain. The result of this is that the lower classes are always wanting higher wages, which is the reason that there are so many strikes and so much discontent at the present day. In concluding he asked the House to think of the honour of the English Nation and to support the motion.

In opposing the motion the Vice-President stated firstly that the work of producing the films gives employment to a large number of men while the films themselves often illustrate historical novels about which the working-classes would otherwise know nothing. Secondly, there are very many films of other parts of the world which tend to broaden the workingman's mind and are at the same time an inducement to emigration. Thirdly, by going to a Picture Palace the poor see not only excellent pictures but also good acting in a building where there is not necessarily any more disease than in a Theatre.

Lastly the workingman after his work needs some amusement which he must not be denied because his wages are not very large. In conclusion he asked the House to think of the many benefits of Picture Palaces and to vote against the motion.

In seconding the President, Mr. Richardson stated that the films dealing with historical subjects are rare and that good books for reading can easily be procured at the Public Libraries.

Moreover, the excitement which is caused is bad and often induces people to go when they cannot really afford it so that they are

882

DEBATING SOCIETY.

tempted to steal. Lastly, the surroundings are very bad and are especially suited to the conveyance of disease.

In supporting the Vice-President, Mr. Medhurst disagreed with many of Mr. Richardson's remarks, contending that in a good Picture Palace the ventilation is not bad, neither is the darkness harmful. Moreover now that a Board of Censors has been formed most of the films are of a harmless nature as for instance, Quo Vadis or the Battle of Waterloo. Indeed the Picture Palace is a very good place to while away spare moments, especially on a wet afternoon.

Mr. Armstrong, in opposition to the motion, emphasized the fact that the Picture Palace was essentially a poor man's place of amusement. With regard to the distorted view of life and the unhealthy excitement alleged by the proposer, the last play he had seen at a Theatre had included a train wreck and a horse race, so Theatres must fall under the same condemnation. The fault he had against Picture Palaces was not that they caused a craving deleterious to the nation, but rather that this craving was often badly satisfied ; however, one could not blame the nation for the faults of managers or proprietors.

In opposing the motion Mr..Yeld objected to the use of the . word " deleterious " and asked why the word " harmful " was not used. He denied that history films were rare and said that personally he had learnt a great deal of information from them, as, for example, after seeing a film dealing with the American war he had bought a history and read up all the details. He then said that he remembered very well a film at Genoa, dealing with Columbus, and the colour of the yolk of the egg still haunted his memory. He certainly admitted that the atmosphere was objectionable at times owing to the prevalence of smoking.

He concluded by saying that if some of the films were sentimental he got over them by going home and reading a suitable book, but for the most part he enjoyed all the films, especially those dealing with a humorous subject.

DEBATING SOCIETY.

883

Mr. P. A. W. Richards, in supporting the motion, laid stress on the bad surroundings which caused people to go to Picture Palaces. He denied that the craving was bad in itself, but as showing a lack of interest in the homes which compelled people to visit the Palaces.

Mr. Eddershaw, in supporting the motion, drew a picture of the child left out in the cold while the mother is inside a Picture Palace. He went on to say that in a Picture Palace the good and bad is mixed up so that one cannot chose between them as at a Theatre. He also spoke of the false perspective by which vice is not made good but by which virtue is made bad, and this he maintained was bad for the workingman. He concluded by pointing out that most Picture Palaces were formerly Skating Rinks where people enjoyed themselves in an active and graceful pastime instead of sitting in dark buildings with bad surroundings.

In replying the Vice-President replied that after the excellent speeches of Mr. Medhurst and Mr. Yeld he had no more to say.

The President, in replying, stated that by using the word " deleterious " his opponents benefitted greatly as it was a far stronger word than " harmless." He went on to say that he did not think much of the historical films if Mr. Yeld's chief memory of " Columbus discovering America " was the colour of the yolk of the egg. He maintained that the one great reason he went to Picture Palaces was so that he could smoke and he had never found it objectionable. In conclusion he accepted the invitation of Mr. Medhurst to take him to a decent Picture Palace and asked the House to vote for the motion.

Upon a division of the House it was found that there were 15 votes for the motion and 15 votes against the motion. The President then gave his casting vote in favour of the motion, which was therefore won by 16 votes to 15 votes.

VALETE.

THE SCIENCE CLUB. A very full programme of Lectures and Papers has been arranged for this Term, and the two Lectures already held have been well attended. At present the 'membership is distinctly promising considering that the winter months do not offer a great many facilities for Natural History or Photography, and we hope that next summer keenness will manifest itself in work and contributions to the Museum. With regard to the Museum the Secretary will be very pleased to receive additions from past as well as present members.

The Lectures already given are :Sept 27. A tour through Holland.

Oct. 4. York, Ancient and Historic.

As these had been kindly lent, H. L. Chilman gave the reading.

M. W. Richards (O.P.) has been playing in the Yorkshire Rugby Football Trials and W. H. Colley (0.P.) in the Lancashire Trials.

Congratulations to E. P. Pattinson, W. N. Bryning, G. C. West, H. W. Hussey, and H. L. Chilman on receiving their 2nd XV. Colours.

The School were very fortunate in seeing the Aeroplane race between Yorkshire and Lancashire and many Army Aeroplanes have passed over the School going North. We have heard rumours of the formation of an Aero Club in the School and have actually seen flights of model aeroplanes varying from two or three feet to five hundred yards. One study seems to have been turned into a hangar, for hanging from the ceiling are five aeroplanes each several feet long.

The Literary Society, which is said to be very select, is again in full swing, owing to the keenness of Mr. Eddershaw, and once a week can be seen having tea in his room.

H. E. K. Reynolds, B. 0. Jolly, A. 0. Johnson and H. W. Hussey were successful in getting certificates in the Higher Certificate Examination of Midsummer. H. E. K. Reynolds also got " Distinction " in several subjects.

On Saturday night, October iith, Mr. Eddershaw read a very interesting paper on " Folklore." Several visitors were present and most of the School. Mr. Eddershaw showed that he had investigated his subject very deeply and did it full justice.

Bishop of Bristol being in the Chair. The following were present : The Right Rev. the Bishop of Bristol (Chairman), Rev. H .

Blomfied,E.rughaD en,Col.Fitmas A. W. Eastwood, Rev. J. A. Easton, F. P. Fausset, Rev. G. T. Handford (late Headmaster), R. F. Hill, H. W. Henderson, Rev. J. A. Kirby, Dr. F. Needham, E. F. Nevile, A. Peters, A. S. Poyser, H. W. Rhodes, Rev. J. W. W. Taylor, S. M. Toyne (Headmaster), C. W. Watson, S. Watson, H. Wharton, R. L. Wilcox.

After the loyal toasts had been honoured the Chairman proposed the toast of " St. Peter's School," coupling it with the name of Mr. S. M. Toyne (the Headmaster).

In his speech the Chairman showed from the history of Alcuin, its founder, what an important position the School held in olden days. Though modern inventions and conditions of life had enabled richer and larger schools to spring up yet he hoped under Mr. Toyne, whom all welcomed, that the School would regain its old position.

The Headmaster, in replying to the toast, said the School, while proud of its past also looked to the future. He then outlined what was being done at the School and asked the Old Boys for their support for the extension of the grounds.

The toast of " The Old Peterite Club " was proposed by Dr. F. Needham, and the Secretary, Mr. Arthur Peters, responded.

He said that he had been an official of the Club since 1886, and Secretary since 1899. During that time the Club had done good work, such as reviving the Dinner and helping the Peterite.

At present they were anxious to get financial support for the purchase of the new grounds mentioned by the Headmaster.

They also hoped very soon to publish the School Register, prepared by Mr. C. H. Chadwick. The membership of the Club numbered over 30o scattered all over the world. Lastly, before the Meeting broke up the toasts of " The Secretaries " and " The Chairman " were duly honoured.
