Real Reasons why Young Gentlemen should buy their Clothes here.

It is human nature for every young man to wish to look his best. • Human nature teaches us that because something is cheap it is not necessarily good; that because it is expensive it is not necessarily correct. Human nature knows that our young men require different styles, different colourings, from those of their elders—and that their clothes must possess youthful spirit and gracefulness that fit the figure at every bend and turn.

W e have specialized to a great extent to meet the requirements of these younger men, and whether it be

For Sport, for School, for Vacation, or for Evening Wear,

We can suit them perfectly. W e have in a bright new stock of tasteful designs and youthful colourings at inexpensive prices, and we shall be pleased to forward patterns and suggestions of style on request.

The brothers G. S. and T. V. Wiinsch, Frank Harrison (captain of our boats), L. G. Welch and M. A. Nieolson are all in the First Canadian Overseas Contingent. Our heartiest wishes go with them.

As already announced, Henry V will be performed at the end of term. There will be no regular Conversazione, but the Concert and Play will be given, as usual, on several evenings.

The Public School Boys at Epsom have been inspected by the King and Queen. Evidently the King thought well of them, for orders have been issued to raise some new Battalions. Old Boys can enlist on or after Wednesday, November 18th, at the Church House, Deansgate. Our readers will like to see what one of the commanding officers says of our own old boys :

" M.G.S. has turned out a splendid body of men which we officers are proud to command. If the uniforms are not of Paris fashion, the stuff inside is of real Lancashire make.

" Captain Templar is the heart and soul, not only of his own Company, but of the whole Battalion. He has already three songs in his honour, and a pack of concentrated enthusiasm behind h im . "

i 8 6 OCCASIONAL AND O.M.A. NOTES.

Our best congratulations to W . Chadwick, of Wadham College, Oxford, on gaining the Pusey and Ellerton Scholar-ship. It is of the value of £40 for two years, and is accompanied by a book prize, value £2 10s., from the College.

Mr. Fry has been granted a commission in the Royal Field Artillery, and has already been called away. Mr. Merryweather will shortly be gazetted to the 2nd Salford Battalion.

W e regret having announced in the last number that Mr. Vonbun had sent in his resignation. This is not the case, and there is reason to hope that he may return in due course.

W e give our heartiest welcome to M. A116 Blockeel, a Belgian graduate, who is temporarily engaged on the staff.

W e have been asked to bring Princess Mary's Christmas Fund for Sailors and Soldiers under the notice of our readers. W e feel that the simple words, " I want you all now to help me to send a Christmas present from the whole nation to every sailor afloat and every soldier at the front. Please will you help me? Mary , " require no elaborate setting to find their way to all hearts.

Remittances may be forwarded to H . R . H . The Princess Mary, Buckingham Palace.

Miss L. Lazarus has kindly presented to the Musical Societies a portrait of Mr. W . Pearce (O.M.), our enthusiastic conductor at the Conversazione last year, whose untimely death was reported in the October number of Ulula. The portrait hangs in Mr. Chevalier's room.

The O.M.A. have received a letter of thanks from the Hon. Secretary of the Lancashire and Cheshire Regiments Comforts Fund for permitting them to have a collecting box at the Annual Meeting. The amount subscribed was £ 2 5s. 3d.

OCCASIONAL AND O.M.A. NOTES. i 8 7

Lieut. P. Start, a son of Mr. T. W . K. Start, for many years a Master at the School, is on board H.M.S. Canopus, the battleship which was expected to interfere in the recent naval engagement off Valparaiso. At the time of writing the position of the vessel does not appear to be known, but Mr. Churchill has stated that she is probably safe.

W e have received, directly or indirectly, a number of letters from O.M. ' s at the front, but have only space for a few extracts.

Our Roll of Honour now contains over 450 names, and the list is still being added to. WTe are proud to record Major A. J. Bailey's promotion to a Lieutenant-Colonelcy, and hope to see him yet higher in the service. Many of those who have heard Captain Benson's travel-lectures will be glad to be reminded that he, too, is an O.M. and finds a place in our present list.

Trooper W . Anderson Swales, we learn, has been days under heavy firing, and his troop has done remarkably good work. In one instance they held the trench ten hours after the Regulars had left it, and kept the enemy back till the arrival of the French.

The Secretary of the Lacrosse Section, who is in Egypt with his regiment, is evidently better able to follow his favourite pastime than those players who are left at home. In a postcard just received from Khartoum, he says : " Just a line to let you know we are all doing well. Stiebel, Thorp and Cunliffe are with me, and we have already formed a Lacrosse Club, of which I am Hon. Secretary. Whitley is captain, and Major Staveacre is one of the playing members ."

W e publish, at the end of this number, the additional list of O.M.A. members, since the last issue.

Contributions, other than those relating to the O.M.A., will be received by Mr. C. L. Barnes, at the School.

The O.M. Annual Meeting.

New arrangements were made this year for the Annual Re-union. The proceedings were as informal as could be. Tables were set out in the Drawing Hall, and tickets reserved special tables for those leaving 1914, 1913, 1912, and so on, as the case might be, so that an O.M. had only to follow directions to find himself among his contemporaries. There was a musical programme which allowed frequent intervals for conversation and occasional intervals for putting through the formal business of the Report, Balance Sheet, and Election of Officers. Smoking went on all the time ad libitum but not ad nauseam. The result was most gratifying. Everyone was at his ease. Circulation was free. Conversation was untrammelled. The music, thanks to Carl Wood, was excellent. The speechifiers let us off gently, Before we knew it, it was twenty minutes to eleven. W e had been at it since seven. The feature of the evening was the reception given to Mr. Francis Jones when he rose to deliver the annual address. The whole meeting rose to its feet and cheered and sang " For he's a jolly good fellow," and cheered again.

192 T H E O.M. ANNUAL MEETING.

W e have not seen anything more spontaneous nor more whole-hearted. It was a striking demonstration of the love and esteem in which the senior member of the staff is held by all O.M. 's of every age and standing.

One criticism, and one only, we are compelled to make. The Executive must never again fix the Re-union on half-term Satur-day, even though it be " Hallowe'en." W h y ? Because it prevents the Masters from attending. One main object of these Re-unions is to give the staff a chance of meeting on a friendly footing with old boys and seeing with what deftness and familiarity they can handle the insidious cigarette. In this respect the Re-union was a failure this year. Mr. Broadhurst and Mr. Barnes were there; also Mr. Cox. But we should have liked the whole staff to have witnessed the signal honour done to their senior colleague. Another year this clashing with half-term must be avoided.

But having said that, we have nothing but praise for the Hon. Secretary, who carried out all arrangements with his customary thoroughness and customary success, ancd we have nothing but praise for the O.M. ' s who helped with the musical programme—A. E. Snape, Jas. Taylor, C. F. A. Jordan, Alec Moodie, W . S. Booth; also for Mr. F. J. Ashby, whose tenor solo was much appreciated; and, lastly, for the C.W.S. Orchestra, which diffused an atmosphere of harmony even over the arid details of the Balance Sheet.

Mr. Jones 's address dealt with the history of the introduction of Science teaching into English schools. I t is a subject on which he has a special right to speak, for it is a piece of educational history of which he was no small part himself, though only those who read between the lines of his address would suspect it. The address forms such an interesting contribution to the study of English education that the Executive have been pressed frcm many sides to reprint the whole of it in a form suited for a much wider circulation than is enjoyed by the Annual Report.

W e are glad to be able to give Mr. Jones's portrait as a frontispiece.

Letters from O.M.'s at the Front. PERVYSE, BELGIUM, 1 8 t h October, 1914 .

. . . All right so far, but we had a narrow escape yesterday from all getting chopped. We 've been a week on the job now, and it's all right with the exception of the shrapnel. W e were in a place called Schoore on Saturday, about 200 of us cavalry, (the 3rd Lancers) and the Germans shelled it. W e stayed there a bit, and then beat it when they got the range and hit three or four men. I didn't like it at all. Then our guns shelled theirs all the afternoon, and yesterday we went back to St. Pierre Chapelle, about 3km. further on, and 300 of us waited behind a farm house while scouts went out in front and our guns shelled a place several miles away. W e (the 20 English chaps) lined a hedge and I had a couple of shots at some Germans about 800 yards off, but only made them move. Then we rushed back to our horses, as the beggars crept up on our other side and two or three thousand of them turned loose on us. W e lined up and beat it over a ploughed field (the 300 cavalry) and they plugged at us all the time. A chap next to me had his horse killed and one of our 20 was shot in the thigh, but we only lost 20 altogether, so their shooting was rotten. W e were all in a chunk, and they should have got at least half of us. W e had 120 scouts in front on cycles, and only 30 came back, but our gunner killed several hundreds of the Germans. I was scared as anything, but the captain's saddle slipped round on his horse, and I gave him mine and led his off at the walk, so I did my whack. If he comes back again you can ask him. Then I got about 300 yards away and put the saddle on again and came out with a Belgian behind me. Some of our chaps did likewise, and we were complimented by the staff, as most of the 300 beat it at once, and we were the last to leave.

To-day we are giving the horses a rest and having a much-needed wash. W e hadn't had one for four days. W e get up at four and go out scouting and get to bed (?) late at night, tired out. Last night three of us slept in a 2ft. space in a loft with a little straw, but it was jolly cold.

LETTERS FROM O.M.'s AT T H E FRONT.

The Belgian soldiers are a very decent lot and can't do enough for us, but some of our bunch are not up to very much, and some can't ride at all, so we have lots of unnecessary trouble. I am a Brigadier (Corporal) at 7.50 a day.

Our guns are shelling the Germans all to-day, and our firing line is about a mile away, so f can hear the rifles and maxims all the time and look and see the shrapnel bursting over the trenches. I 'm afraid the poor beggars there are getting it bad, but we're sending shells over into the Germans all the time, and the staff say the position is very good. Two Germans surrendered last night, and say there are about 40,000 of them, and they are all fed up. The English boats shelled them from the sea yesterday, as we are quite close to the shore. Our line is all along the river Yser. When we came back yesterday we all sang " I t ' s a long way to Tipperary," as we rode into the Belgian lines, and it tickled them immensely. About four days ago we covered the retreat of a column and jolly nearly got cut off, although we weren't fired on. A Belgian armoured car with a maxim in gave us a horrible scare, as we thought it was a German, and in that case it would have had the lot of us. W e have two Belgians attached to us to show us the way round, and a Belgian lieutenant, who is very good. When we were covering the retreat the other day we met an English armoured car, and they told us if we went any further we'd all get grabbed, but we went on for another two miles before coming back. Yesterday we saw them again, and they were awfully surprised to see us all there. It is practically impossible to get letters through and this will probably be censored out of shape, unless I can get someone to take it. Of course we've had none from England, as we're moving round too much, but they expect in a day or two to be back in Ostend again. I 'm awfully glad we all came here instead of with the English army, as the poor beggars here are awfully keen to see us, and ask all the time where the English are. T. V. S A N D Y S - W U N S C H .

The following interesting letter is from one of Mr. Broad-hurst 's sons (a Second Lieutenant in the King's Own Royal Lancasters), who wrote on October 15th from a position not

revealed. The Censor and the Editor of Ulula have both exercised in some degree their powers upon it, as upon the other letters.

I have been for six hours under cont inual fire—was left by the Commander of the Company together with another subal tern to carry on the frontal a t t ack 011 a village called . T h e other subal tern was on my left, and the commanding officers on the ext reme r ight flank, where we could not see or get into connection with them, especially as we did not know where they were till after the a t t ack . O u r a t t ack commenced at one o'clock and I was left in charge of fifty men, the last order by the C .O. being " A d v a n c e in tens from the left, advancing thir ty paces each t i m e . " This 1 did until we had to rush all together, as the fire zone of the artillery was too much for us—I mean we had all to rush at once for about 100 yards, each time doing about 35 yards, or till we could get cover. T h e other subal tern had about the same number of men (fifty). He advanced finally to about five and not more than eight yards in front of us and on our left. All the t ime it simply teemed with rain, and shells fell all round us, three having exploded within ten yards of me in five minutes . One, especially, burst about two or three yards in front of me. T h e flash of the explosion made me blink. As far as I could tell, not one of us was hu r t , because the men kept absolutely flat on the ground. This falling shell made us advance again to the far side of where it dropped. 1 can tell you there is no time for funk. If you don ' t act on the spur of the moment , you are done for. Well, to continue about the a t t ack . The platoon under me at last got to within 100 or 80 yards of the enemy, whose position was very well a r ranged indeed.

Here I gave a fresh order to fire, the range being changed and new positions ^ o f the enemy being shown up by the closer proximity ; bu t on account of the

slush and rain and mud only about three of the 45 men left un in jured with me had rifles which would woric. So I gave the order to entrench, while the men who could fire kept on as fast as possible. These few soon had to stop, their rifles being unworkable . As a ma t t e r of fact, I was one of the last to cease fire, my platoon sergeant having kept his rifle till the last in working order. Now, at this point, the platoon (i.e., section of 50 men) on our left were within ten yards of our left hand man and about seven yards in front, thus : ~ ~ _ _ _ Here we—including myself—kept on digging for our very lives, and then, as it was gett ing towards evening, I got them to fix bayonets . (This order I gave as soon as we could not fire a t all). The re was a gradual slope in the ground at this point inclining towards the enemy ; the platoon on our left got to the top and I kept just below, so that those men who could fire—and I th ink I did as much as anyone at this point—could raise themselves a little and keep sniping and then duck down under cover.

I sent three men back for orders. . . . Only the third re turned after about hours and at dusk , to say tha t another Company would t ake up our

196 L E T T E R S FROM O.M.'s A T T H E F R O N T .

line and tha t we were to t ake all the wounded back. I a m happy to say tha t out of the (roughly) 45 men I was in charge of, at least 40 returned, only one was killed, about three or four being wounded. On the other hand , a l though both platoons had the same ground to traverse, the platoon on ray left re turned with about ten men and the officer wounded. I know now what the men tu rn ing somersaul ts in the platoon wTere doing whenever I happened to look for wha t was happening on my left. If I had gone on another few yards we should just have been the same. As we were not firing the people behind (i.e., supports) did not know we were there, and star ted firing at the enemy from behind us. I had to shout to them not to fire, but could not make myself heard. But the anxiety of being in this position wi thout being able to fire a shot was really awful. T h e men, all th rough , were simply fine.

THE BARRACKS, KHARTOUM,

Saturday, Oct. 3rd, 1914.

We have arrived safely after a journey of exactly three weeks, all of which was eventful. There were close on 2,000 troops on our boat, and not a single case of illness or disease was reported during the whole of the voyage. It is a good testimony to the fitness of our men and the good state of the conditions abroad. The train journey to Khartoum from Port Sudan took us 26 hours, and we travelled most comfortably in spite of the great heat. W e stopped for meals three times, and everything was done in the most orderly and well-arranged style. W e got a good reception here on arrival, and were welcomed by the Sirdar himself. W e found the march to the barracks rather trying, owing to the enormous heat in the middle of the day, but the conditions on arrival much more than compensated for the discomfort of the march. The recruits up to 44 are quartered together in a beautiful bungalow fitted with electric light and two large electric fans. There are heaps of large windows and good broad verandahs all round. W e can sleep here at night if we care to. Each man has a bed, hard but good, a tin lock-up trunk, shelf and pegs, and the place is well equipped with the necessaries for messing. The water is all filtered through large earthenware jars, and cools wonderfully well. There is an ample supply; it is specially good and pure, and we are instructed to drink as much as we like. Everyone perspires most wonderfully, and the charm of the thing is that you can dry your clothes in the sun in about

LETTERS FROM O.M.'s AT T H E FRONT.

twenty minutes. There are splendid shower and sitz baths, as well as heaps of wash bowls, and no stint of water. W e go morning and evening. The Canteen is good, although things are dear, but with a few spare shillings one can manage nicely. The clearing of tables, washing of pots, floor, etc., is done by contract by two niggers, who collect 5d. per week from each man ; it is cheap and relieves one a lot. In addition they wash all clothes, uniforms, etc., at the same charge. The dinner yesterday was fine, and the best we have had since I left home—good soup, beef, stewed potatoes and peas, and rice pudding. For tea there is bread, jam, and tea, and lots of it. Breakfast this morning was the same as tea yesterday. Taking it all round we should have a good time, as the place is exceptionally healthy, provided one is careful, and the heat can be borne if the necessary precautions are taken. We have had special helmets issued and they are the very thing for the purpose, and light to wear as well. Each of the officers has bought a donkey, according to custom, and it is funny to see Geo. Lockwood with his long legs trotting gaily along, and a little negro lad running behind like a pet dog. The men of the Suffolk Regiment, who occupied these barracks before us, have all left now, and go straight to the front, so we understand. They were most decent to us, and did all they could to advise and help with information. The enclosure in which the barracks stand is like a huge garden, and each bungalow has a nice little garden all round i t ; these are kept in order by such men as are keen on gardening. The trees are lovely—acacias in full bloom, vines as shades round the verandah, and most lovely birds, etc., all over the place. It seems that on account of the great heat nothing much can be done after nine o'clock, and twilight does not exist; at five o'clock you see the sun set, and at 5-20 it is quite dark. You can understand, therefore, that the duties are not too hard, and that we have time to do odd jobs. Captain Smedley has asked G. and me to take over the working of the Institute, such as the billiard room, etc. W e shall accept the work, as it will be something' to occupy our time and help us no end. W e have no khaki drill clothing yet but expect it at once. It will make such a difference and be more comfortable. W . H . B A R R A T T .

GUADALOUPE BARRACKS,

1 3 / 1 0 / 1 4 .

On the outbreak of war I packed my kit and was ready for moving off with the rest of our fellows, when the Colonel received orders that three officers were to stay behind to start K. 's new-army. The lot was cast and I was one of the victims. W e three, with sorrowful hearts, bade farewell to our comrades and wished them God-speed. W e made our headquarters at Berwick-on-Tweed, and in our first week obtained 35 recruits. Visions of a new army began to grow dim indeed, until the following week, when our numbers totalled nearly 3,000 ! Interesting were our experiences among these men—representatives of all classes, from a Glasgow shipyard labourer to solicitors and lawyers. The most striking feature of all this was the ready way in which they intermingled, putting aside all class feelings, and working as brothers for the common cause. I am glad to say this feeling still prevails among officers and men alike. This is one great step forward towards ultimate success.

After two weeks at this game I had three weeks on railway transport—taking troops from all over England, Scotland and Wales to the ports of embarkation, and went as far as our base in Boulogne, where I saw the most remarkable scenes I have ever witnessed. I was sorry, for once, to have to turn my face towards home. During this three weeks I hadn't a night in bed, but slept as best I could, generally in a guard 's van. I must say I was thankful when I obtained orders to come down here to the 6th Service Battalion, with whom I remained until a fortnight ago, when I was transferred to the 8th as Assistant Adjutant. Now I know what work is—from 5-30 until 10-30 p.m., with an hour for each meal. I really wonder how the men stand it day after day, Sundays included (the only relaxation is Church parade). They are as keen as mustard, and are getting on wonderfully well.

I am trying to obtain a couple of days' leave to come up and see the old place. I haven't had a free day from the time I left home. There is one thing, this abnormal amount of work is

TWO SONNETS. 199

conducive to sleep, so that our life consists only of those two elements. Consequently there is no chance of our newly-joined officers falling into that slack mode of life which is characteristic of a soldier in times of peace.

C . H . C R A W S H A W .

Two Sonnets.

1. T O BELGIUM. Belgium, of old thou knewest war 's alarms,

When on thy soil barbaric tribes arrayed The rolling might of Roman legions stayed,

Though Gaul lay conquered by proud Caesar's arms. 'Twas then that from across the cliff-girt strait

Came warring chieftains with woad-painted horde To aid thee, tho' that deed the conqueror's sword

In their own land made Britons expiate. The centuries have passed. But that same heart

Yet beats in this great island race as then. And now, when war ' s red havoc flings apart

Thy race, O Belgium, from its hearths—again, In God's good time, we'll heal thy bleeding soul, And give it back the home a tyrant stole.

II. T O CANADA. Land of the rolling prairies, rich and vast,

The heart of whose young race, as large as you Yourself, no thought of hesitancy knew,

When but few years ago our die was cast For war, your aid is not forgotten yet.

Nor unremembered shall your spirit go That cheers us in these days when now we know

Europe's o 'erhanging Damoclean threat In grim reality. By no demand

Of ours your vigorous manhood's blood you give Or share with us what Nature gives your land

With largess. Through long years the thought shall live Of how your gift of just plain bags of flour Gave pluck to Britain in her tensest hour!

The O.T.C. Camp, 1914.

F e w , if any , of those present a t the " Fa l l in " a t Cen t r a l S ta t ion on the m o r n i n g of Tuesday , Ju ly 28th , were looking forward to any th ing but a camp of the usua l du ra t ion under the usua l condi t ions . W e should have been much surpr ised if it h a d been foretold to us t h a t a g r e a t na t iona l crisis was destined to overshadow the whole c a m p , cur ta i l it by two days, and call out several of our n u m b e r upon mi l i ta ry service. W h a t e v e r the future history of our O . T . C . m a y be, it will cer ta inly record 110 c a m p so memorab le a s t h a t of 1914. Apar t from officers, we were only 62 s t rong—surely a r a t h e r poor number consider ing the size of the School. A long bu t comfortable journey , followed by a twen ty m i n u t e s ' m a r c h , b rough t us to T i d w o r t h Penn ings , a magnificently-s i tua ted camping -g round , a l ready whi tened with the ten ts of a full br igade.

Wednesday m o r n i n g i n a u g u r a t e d the real w o r k of the camp. T h e day opened wi th P raye r s , a t t ended by the whole br igade, t h a t is to say, about 4,000 schoolboys d r a w n from some of the mos t famous schools in E ng l and . T h e n came ba t ta l ion drill, a t first s o m e w h a t chaot ic owing to the new " pla toon " system. After about th ree -quar te r s of an h o u r ' s h a r d w o r k we re turned to

S C R I P T U R E U N I O N . 209 camp. The next parade was a t about ten o'clock and again took the form of drill, after which we returned to dinner about one. Such was the course of most mornings a t camp, except t ha t the principal parade was generally not for the purpose of drill but for the execution of field operations. Afternoon parade generally took the form of a ta lk from our Bat tal ion C .O . , Capta in Paley, of the Rifle Brigade, who in the course of a few days won the whole-hearted admirat ion of all. T h e delights of camp evenings mus t be experienced in order to be appreciated, and do not lend themselves to prosaic description. Mention mus t be made, however, of the nightly sing-songs presided over by .our popular Chaplain, the Rev. Neville Talbot , who is now, we believe, a t the front. On one occasion we were favoured with a song from Sergt . Litt lewood.

Reviewing the camp as a whole, it may first be said tha t the work was comparatively l i gh t ; this was no doubt due in some measure to the weather , which, for the greater par t of the t ime, was hot, though we had a good deal of rain on the Saturday and Sunday. Notable events of the week were the brigade inspection on the Saturday—a truly magnificent spectacle—the night operations on the Thursday, also a gorgeous sunset 011 the Sunday—those who took the trouble to climb Sidbury Hill to see it were well rewarded.

Needless to say, the whole a tmosphere of the camp was pervaded by the impending war . Even on the second day it was rumoured that owing to the mobilisation of the Army we might have to break camp at any time. W e shall not soon forget how we were stirred by the addresses of the Chaplain and the officers, how we were thrilled by the frequent rumours of Nor th Sea victories, how we rushed for newspapers in the evening, how on the momentous morning of the second of August Lit t lewood read out the Times leaders to his entire tent-party. On Monday the long-expected order came, and by Tuesday night hardly a trace of the camp remained—a t r iumph of organizat ion, considering the dislocated state of the rai lways. Except for a change at Derby, our homeward journey was accomplished without discomfort or delay. F . N.

Literary Society.

T h e first meeting of the session was held on October 5th, when Mr. E. R. Brown (O.M.) , sometime Vice-President of the Society, read a paper on Maurice Maeterl inck. T h e life of Maeterlinck was briefly touched on, but the greater par t of the paper was concerned with an exposition of his philosophical doctrines, of which i l lustrations were d rawn chiefly from his prose works. Silence, Maeterl inck holds, not speech, conveys the deepest feelings of mankind. I t is when we are with one for whom we have no deep love, " only when reality is far away " tha t we wish to speak. When we wish to communicate soul to soul, we are silent. T h e impossibility of affecting the soul by wha t men consider the gravest sins, and the regard in which Maeterl inck holds W o m a n were discussed, together with the conception of Justice, which so long defied m a n ' s scrutiny, as lodging in himself, were treated in the paper.

T h e characterist ics of Maeter l inck which appeared most noticeable to E. O. Hopp£ were his modesty and reticence. His life is simple, and he is an optimist , satisfied tha t the t rend of things as it now tends will eventually result in the ideal. A discussion followed.

On Monday, October 19th, a number of " Patr iot ic Passages from the Engl ish Poets " were read. These were taken roughly in chronological order and comprised selections from Shakespeare (Richard I I ) , Blake, Wordsworth , Cowper, Scott, Browning, Tennyson , Swinburne , Henley, Newbolt, and Collins. T h e only poem read of those evoked by the present war was " The Call (August, 1914) " by Rev. J . C. Mar t in . An absorbing discussion followed on patriotic poetry and the na tu re and value of patr iot ism, a t which conservative members received severe shocks by reason of the advanced views propounded.

Debating Society.

On Fr iday, October 2nd, Higne t t , the President, in the Chair , Beddy moved " T h a t in the opinion of this House all is fair in love and w a r . " The speaker earnestly assured the Society tha t there was much in common between love and war—neither , for instance, w a s child 's play. After pointing out tha t

J U N I O R D E B A T I N G SOCIETY. 2 1 1

the indefensible position of all lovers proved the t ru th of his contention, he con-cluded in a spirit of optimistic fatalism, which he confidently asked the House to share. Fasnacht , in opposing, urged the ra ther obvious point t ha t love and war were antithetic, and after diligently contradict ing everything the last speaker had said, delivered a perorat ion in which he got r a the r mixed in his metaphors. Norcross, Summerfield, Golding and Higne t t also spoke. T h e motion was lost by 3—18.

On Friday, October 16th, F a s n a c h t was elected reporter to Ulula. Norcross moved " T h a t in the opinion of this House the competitive system as applied to Schools is pern ic ious ." I t was owing, the speaker informed the Society, to the competitive system tha t the assembly he was addressing consisted of a collection of dwarfed, s tunted minds. The remedy was to al ter the system. Beddy, in opposing, vividly sketched the delight with which, " forty years o n , " we should recollect tha t the misery in our school days result ing from the competitive system was happily a th ing of the past . Por te r was dogmat ic about the aim of education. After several members had spoken the motion was

.carried by nine votes to seven.

On October 30th, R a y m a n in the chair , Summerfield moved " T h a t in the opinion of this House chari ty organisa t ion does more h a r m than g o o d . " H e was afraid the motion would not be passed, and deprecated the possible introduction of personal questions. T h e gist of his speech was tha t char i ty pauperises the receiver and demoralises the giver. Higne t t opposed. Fasnach t , finding himself, as usual , unable to refrain from speaking, pleaded the cause of Socialism, saying tha t chari ty created a mult i tude of evils. In a maiden speech, Horn told pathetic anecdotes from which he deduced, to his own satis-faction, the value of chari ty organisat ion. Norcross, Brooke, R a y m a n , and Beddy also spoke. The motion was carried by nine votes to eight.

Officers for the session are as follows :—President, H i g n e t t ; Vice-President, R a y m a n ; Secretary, P o r t e r ; Reporter to Ulula, F a s n a c h t ; Treasure r , Rushwor th . G. E. F .

S tanding, who moved the motion, compared the despotism of Germany wi th the liberty of England. Floyd opposed, and treated the House to a dissertation on the divine r ight of authori ty . H e even confessed an admirat ion for the Kaiser . Thornley, Mr. Hope, and Mart in also spoke. T h e motion was carried by 34 votes to 17.

Mr. Dennis , who gave us much help, sang Arne 's "B low, blow, thou winter w i n d , " and Schuber t ' s " W h o is S y l v i a ? " and later gave Sull ivan's tuneful set t ing of " O r p h e u s with his l u t e , " concluding the programme with Levey 's " When tha t I was and a little tiny b o y . " Other songs were given by F . W. Wal ton and A. B. Timperley, including " When daisies pied " (Arne) and " H a r k , h a r k , the lark " (Schubert) .

On Friday, October 30th, Miss J . H . Brown, a dist inguished diplom^e of the Royal Manchester College of Music, gave a Chopin recital. Mr. Barnes explained the na ture and character is t ics of Chopin ' s works . H e was essentially a writer for the pianoforte, and was in this branch of musical composition pre-eminent. An ext rac t from the " Life of Sir Char les Hall4 " was read, showing the impression created by Chopin on musicians in the late 'forties. Miss Brown opened the p rog ramme with the short Prelude in C Minor, which is a masterpiece of rich ha rmony . This was followed by a Minuet and Tr io from an early Sona ta (Op. 4) and the Fan tas i a in F minor , one of the pianist 's treasures. T w o Mazurkas , the lovely Nocturne in G, and the great A minor Study formed a very conspicuous par t of the p rogramme. T h e concluding i tems were a Prelude in D flat, the Polonaise in C sharp minor , the Study in G flat, " on the black k e y s , " and the Scherzo in C sharp minor . The Nocturne in G was repeated by special request , which proved the most popular item. T h e p rog ramme was well chosen and excellently played. T h e at tendance was very fair, but migh t have been larger had not the mid-term holiday begun tha t afternoon. T . A. R.

F I R S T E L E V E N v. AN O.M. E L E V E N .

At the Cliff on Saturday, October 10th. School went away with a rush, and for a few minutes were continually pressing. Soon, however, the O . M . ' s began to settle down and the g a m e now became evenly contested. Gradual ly , School began to gain the upper hand , and should have scored on several occasions, but the shooting was, for the most part , so very poor t ha t the visiting custodian had little difficulty in deal ing with the shots which reached him. Half-time : No score. In the second half our opponents ' lack of t ra in ing began to tell, and School were soon having much the best of the game , bu t the forwards, a l though showing a decided improvement in combinat ion, simply could not score. The O . M . ' s were rarely dangerous, and our halves, notably Frankenberg , who th roughout the game played exceedingly well, easily frustrated the a t tempts which were occasionally forthcoming.

At last School 's efforts were rewarded , for, fifteen minutes from t ime, Har r i s scored with a beautiful curl ing shot, high up in the left hand corner of the net, which gave the goalkeeper no chance. O u r opponents were now rapidly falling to pieces, and five minutes later, following one of Bowden ' s corners, Marquis added a second goal. Henceforward play was confined to the visitors' half, and t ime arrived wi th the score—

At the Cliff, on October 17th. In this match School gained an overwhelm-ing victory. W e opened well, and in a few minutes completely outplayed our opponents. Before the interval H a r r i s scored four goals and Bowden and Rhodes one each. Half-time : School, 6 ; Macclesfield, 0. In the second half, although the scoring was not so prolific, play was aga in confined to the visi tors ' half, Har r i s adding two more goals, wi thout any response from Macclesfield. Bowden and Har r i s were often conspicuous, a l though the whole t eam played really well, and for the most par t succeeded in overcoming the na tura l tendency towards individual display which is too often in evidence in an easy g a m e such as this was.

At Swinton , on Wednesday, October 21st. Winn ing the toss, School had the advan tage of a light breezte, and it soon became evident tha t we were much the better team. T h e uneven surface of the ground, covered as it was with grass several inches long, somewhat interfered with play, but despite this we soon took the lead, Marquis scoring. La ter , Bowden added another , and a t half-time we were leading by 2—0. In the second half we maintained our superiority, and H a y g a r t h and Marquis added to the score. School 's play, considering the s ta te of the ground, was qui te good and was certainly much better than it had been for several seasons past on this ground. Result :—•

At the Cliff, on Sa turday , October 24th. Owing to the University having cancelled their fixtures, School had an open date this Sa turday , so Mr. Green very kindly got together a team of Masters , and another enjoyable game resulted. School very quickly took the lead, and at the end of the first quar te r of an hour were three goals up, Har r i s being responsible for two and Marquis adding another . At this point Jones, unfortunately, had to retire with a strained thigh, and henceforward the g a m e became much more evenly contested. Up to the interval the score remained unchanged. Half-time : School, 3 ; Masters , 0. In the second half the Masters still continued to hold their own, and a l though Bowden added a good goal they retal iated in the closing minutes . School played weil th roughout , but hardly deserved to win by so large a marg in . I t mus t not be forgotten, however, tha t for three-quar te r s of the g a m e we had only ten men. O n the other hand, the Masters ' custodian was absent dur ing the first few minutes , when three of our goals were scored. Result :—

O n resuming, School were soon a t tacking , and one of the Bolton players steered a shot from Marquis into the Bolton net. After F rankenberg and Hayg a r t h had gained distinction by burs t ing two balls on the railings

AN IMPORTANT NEW SERIES

G R E A T N A T I O N S A N C I E N T G R E E C E

A Sketch of its Art, Literature, and Philosophy viewed in connection with its external history f rom Earlier Times to the age of Alexander the Great

By H. B. COTTERILL, M.A. (Translator of "The Odyssey") With Five Illustrations in Four Colours, and nearly 150 Illustrations, mostly Half-tone,

printed on Dull Art Paper. Size m»> 528 pages letterpress, with Full Index, bound in cloth extra,

gilt top, price 7 /6 n e t . This handsome volume has been prepared with all the care necessary for serious study, but

i t is also addressed to the general reader, and is, therefore, attractive in matter and get up. I t is safe to say that no other book of its kind with so great a wealth of Illustrations has

been published at the price. The author has endeavoured, as it were, to revive the real life ot the Greeks, and show how they still deeply influence the present by their deeds and their thoughts. Political and Military events have received their proper place and proportions in the structural framework, but more attention has been given to great achievements in art, literature, science, and other civilising influences.

The following additional Volumes in this important New Series have been arranged for and others will be added—

Republ ican Rome. By H. L. Havell, B.A.

F r a n c e . By Prof. W. H. Hudson Germany. By T. W. Rolleston I r e l a n d . By Eleanor Hull and Prof.

Stanley Lane Poole

Scotland. By R. L. Mackie, M.A.

Medieval Italy. By H. B. Cotterill,M.A.

Ancient India. By E. B. Havell, M.A.
