Music

20th. Mrs. Baird played Bach's Prelude and Fugue in G Minor, and then accompanied John Cruft in a Telemann Sonata. Mr. Cruft told us that Telemann, who was a contemporary of Bach, is little known now, though in his own day he had a great reputation. The recital ended with John Cruft playing a beautiful " Air " by Purcell.

The Chapel Choir, besides their routine work and the anthems mentioned elsewhere, have been working during the term on a chorus from Hadyn's " Creation " and Mendelssohn's " 0 for the wings of a dove."

THE LIBRARY

Librarian : L. BURGESS, Esq. Assistant Librarians : D. E. BROWN, F. F. STEELE, G. LONG, R. E. DODD,

P. L. HORT, J. A. DENISON, R. S. F. WEBBER.

There have been several additions to the library during the term, chiefly to the Science section, which now looks somewhat less scanty.

The Subject Index is now nearly finished. The cards are arranged according to the order of the shelfclassification numbers, and are designed to give a ready guide to the whereabouts of the books on any subject. A complete list of the classification system will be found on the library notice board, while there are further indications on the shelves.

As the majority of the School have been very remiss in returning books, and as conditions have not improved of late, a system of fines on all books kept out for more than a fortnight will be instituted this term. It will, however, be possible to renew books for an additional fortnight if there is no other demand for them. Action will be taken against anybody misusing library books, and borrowers will be responsible for the condition of books in their possession.

Many library users still do not put books back in the right place ; some are in such haste they even replace books upside down. A little more care would make it easier for other people to find out which books are on the shelves.

The following books have been added to the library since the last edition of " The Peterite " :-

Science since 1500 Science Front, 1939 The Social Functions of Science
