NOTES AND ITEMS. During the term the School paid two visits to the Minster, the first, shortly after the beginning of term, in order to take part in a service for York schools in connection with the Religion and Life Week, and the second, its annual visit for Evensong on Advent Sunday. At the end of September Major H. J. G. Collis gave a lecture on the various branches of the modern Army, and the best methods of entry into them. His lecture was well received, especially on account of his humour. A week later, Wing Commander Fletcher, representing all three Services, spoke about the need of the Armed Forces of well-educated boys to train for commissions. He emphasised certain qualities, notably that of leadership, which are required. For over a month during the term assistance was given to neighbouring farmers to lift the potato crop. Parties of boys from all forms went out for seven hours almost daily. Thanks are due to Mr. Dronfield for allowing us to help the farmers, and everyone was glad to be of assistance. M. Jaksch, leader of the German Sudetenland Social Democratic Party, addressed the Sixth Form on Saturday, 21st November, his subject being the increase of Nazi influence in Bohemia, which destroyed the former peace and contentment of that country.
