'MMMMMHM~MMDMMMMMHM, EDITORIAL NOTES.

THE SCHOOL.

This is the last and most irnport&.nt term nf the school year . .All the examinations beloniz to this term . Evervbodv, masters and bovs, is under a strain. Some boys 11eem to view this period with sto ,e indifference, Even t.he recognised otheri.; get pale and nervous, but alJ are excited. dulla ··d lo,,ks forward with eagerness to the t>Xami11ation term. Perhaps a fond papa t.o make his hopeful exert his every power ha~ pl'Omised him a bic~·cle, a holida.v trip around the islands, or-joy of joys-a trip to Barba.dos! With this feeling, commou to all schools, we are writing this · articlP. For we. masters ton, look bPvond the examination to our well ea.rr ed rest-the 7 weeks' vacation. 'Ihere is no one to promise us bicycles· if the hnvs i,ass, no one to offer us a trip to Barbados, H,oraima or Kaiteur, thouP,"h thnP may be many to find fault with everything we have done.

But here again some masters a.re of the stoic-indifference class. while other ..reall_v dread the fault-finding probe of in<lulgent parents disa.ppoint.ed at the failure of their roost brilliant, mo~t ,tngelic, most tea.cb!d>le bovll ..

M~sters, however. can as a rule wash their hands and proclaim their in- '. uoeence of the failure of the dear darling boy. ·· Many of our bigger boys will be leavin<? U:s ·after the exam inationi. '!'heir school career will be t>uded . 'l'he business world will be c·alling ' them to join its bnsy miukets. The ground work provided them at Queen's will be sure to b,,fp t.bem, and make them view with seriousnesij life and its much beta11gleJ pa.tbs. An eagerness to get to the top will we hope sustain these b,ns when ploddinl! away at the bottom rounds of the ladder of success. : Nothing can give that dogged dlilterwination to

These boys are asked to give u~ th,.ir names to have the magazine sent them reg-ularly every term. Queen's will follow their careers with a 111ntherlv eye; be sure she will rejoice when they rejoice aoJ weep when they mo111·11.

The numbers this term have ren1ai11ed about the same. There bas been one entry and one re-entry, while we have had one departure.

Entry. U. H. Chnndru. Re-entry. C. N. Harewood.

Departure M. W. Gilkes.

Oilkes bas been a most ust>ful memb~r to our cricket, team; his height m~a .. him a ust>ful and dc1.ngerous bowler. Iu the class room too he did good work. He i,- now working at G,trnett's.

The Guiairn Scholarship Examination has just takt>u place, the eotries were as follows : Olas8ics. J. C. Morris, R. C. G. Potter . .Mathematics. E. S. Chabrol, V. I. Evan-Wong.

Science.

B. K Lewis, 8. Persaurl, 0. L. Hutchinson.

The game of the term is fP11tball, the school t,,am bas entnecl for thr Junior Lea.g,ue competition. aud so far is doing well. We played our loug-µnt.off tll'itcl1 against, Diamo11d CC. in the h.. lidays and won in a most unexp,.cted UHU1t1Pr on thi> stroke of t.ime.

The Ward Matches in Football are al,;o beiug played off.

selve,, we are s ure to get a f~vourable rt>ception .

Indeed, we feel convinced that a school magazine to be of any good to a school, should be 11upported by tbP ho.vs themselves. 'l'he Articles that we started in om ldst issue-They .Say, Querries, and Suggested New Books and thl'-ir Authors-have brought to light man_v would be writers. Rut here we mnst stty, that such articles if not carefully snpervised, can do more har.m than good. It is so easy to allow such articles to be personal, petty and spiteful.

Again so long as a master is editor, he will refuse any hits at himself or at other masters.

We hope that 1100n a. hoy will sit in the editor's chair. theu-and not tillthen-mnsters will sa y things, ask ques. tions and write books . We h.tve had to reject many suggested hits, some because they were uot up to mark, others bef'ause the sit me hit. bad already appeared in practically the same words. We hope this will not discourage our cuutributors who have given ns of their tim e.

We beg to acknowledge receipt of the followin!! school Magazi11es :The St. Lucian, The Combel'mere, aud The Queen's Royal School Magnzine .

LE GRANO CHINOi S. (By E. A

LEWJ R.)

There is i11 the Fourth a boy named Choy.

Who seemeth to be more man thal'l boy; In class he'll come with choc'lates and sweets And distribute to those whom first he meets.

One day when Ashurst provoked him - quick He raised his foot and gave him a kick; Away Ashurst sneaked like a little school-boy, Rubbing the kick he'd got from Choy.

Just then the master came on the scene As Ashurst on a post was about to lean, Muttering between his teeth "You big, old fool, You ought to be as ha med to come to school."

But Choy- " Le Gi'and Chinois" as he's calledAgainst a bench quite comfo1'tab1v lolled " Take that for vour rudeness to me" he said, And with a paper ball hi t "Piggie the Red!' Meanwhile Ashurst goes about scratching his head And earnestly wishing the celestial was dead.

Soon all the red hair from his scalp will be hauled And from "Piggie the Red'' he' Jl become" Pigiie tile Bald." ' . '

QUEEN'S COLLEGE SCHOOL MAGAZINE THE SPORTS.

Parker, A.D.C., was present during the latter part of the afternoon . . .Tndging from appearances we cannot but conclude that the spectators all enjo_ved themselvPs immensely.

We siocert>ly thank the Old Bo_,·s for their kind services in providing for a large n11mbfr of prizes. We also thank }l .. ssrs. R. G. Humphrey and M. U Hin!! for preRentinl! the prizes for the Half-mile Race and Junior Chi1mpin11 , hip resp,•ctiv ..Jy; an,l last. hut b.v no mea.ns the least have we tn tlia 11k tlrn G. ( '· 0. Committee for so kindly allowing us the use ot tl1ei r l1eauti ful ground, The events were all keenly contested, aud, in many cases the ultimate, issuPd •vas oft,,n in doubt, ln the Reninr event.s Chabral won the 100 vards and 220.

The Sack rare and Three-lel!'gPd race created no end of amusement.

In the former PVPDt Pereira simply ra.n away from t.he other competitors auo won as he l1k+>d. The Old Roys' Race brought. out a large field of com1,eti •ors. Gomes again won with Gitt,rns a cood seeond. The Halfrnile Haudicap was won by Potter, starting scratch. iu fine st.vie with Lewis i second .

The Senior Champiouship prize-a Gold Wrist.let Watch, µresented

by His ExC'ellency-was wou by Chabral with ,t total ,.f 9 points. 'fhe vrize for the best junior fell to Pereira ,vith the excellen tota 1 of 14 points out of a possil.le 18. Pereira's performance was extremsily creditable, He actually won every event in which he started.

At the close of the programme, the Principal, Mr. Pflpe, made a. neat little spp,;ch, in the cc,nrse of which he thankPd the ( >Id Ro.vs for their kiud suµpo1t in enabling- 11s to procu re the prizes for t!,e various events.

R. Jol,nson one of our best forwards was indisposed. In the first half onr oppone nts succeeded in scoring the first goal. Iu th P second half Wong be,Llinl( off the gnal-keeper with a hrilli,t11t shot Pqualized ruattP.1路s.

The same team which rPpresent.ed College against the L. F . C. played in this match with the exception of R. John son who displaced B. Lewis at left inner.

From 1h8 start our opponents pressed hard on our !!Oal and up to half time they hRd registered two goals.

T llm a very g-oorl bo_v. w whPn I g-et. np and yawn on<'e or twicP I hit my little brother Pat. Y,,u don't know rny little brother Pat, or you won't wonder why I hit him; he is so very quarrelsome. while I am such a good hoy·--awfully good! Then I take tea aud during tea I quarrel with my b1~ger brother aud my sister. Somehow I dont feel quite bappy at meals if I ain't quarrelling. Quarelling is fine fun-you just try it.

Then I <lo my lessous-buuk-keeping is a beastly thing. I hate it bad, had. But yo•1 must not let father know that. The11 I keep my little sister out of the bath and quarrel with my lit tle brother in the bath this is fine fun. Then I eat breakfast, taking great care to qmtrrel right and left of me. Then I go to school. School is a 11nisance.-bnt J0n't tell father so. I s,ty if ever your Father comes to flog you, rlon't cry or hollow at all, fathers don't seem to have any feelings for such thiug-s. but if your Mother is going to do the beating, cry auJ bawl as loud as yon can, for mothers are full of nerves and such things, and soon she'll stoJJ beating you. After school I come home and quarrel with everybody over lunch, which is fine fun-I mean the quarrelling, not the lunch. Then I go back to school, After school I JJby marbles and " bust up" all the other fellows.

Tbey can't play marbles like ME. (Here follows a long description of the game of marbles which has been left out as being uuinteresting to our readers-Ed.) Then I come home aud spPnd the time up to dinuer quarrelling with anyone who takes the trouble to talk tu me. · At dinuer I first dispose of the SPrviete (a mnst 11sele,s piece nf cloth) over a rung of my chair, then between the mouthfuls of food I quarrel with my little brothers and sister, 'That's wli y I am so go11d. I keep them busy. After dinner I quarrel with some oue or other till bed-time comes. Then I get into my Jambers. You should sPe nJ_V Jarubers; they are roomy a nd comfortable. 'l'hen I get into m.v little bed, and if I have a chaur.e, I quarrel with 111y little brother Pat again. 'l'heu like a good, good little boy I go to sleep peacefully, having passed a wost happy day .

You ask me what is e,lucation. It is the scie11ce or art of training the min,l ,w ,I body. It is the means of bringing nut the latent qualities (they may be guod ur bau) iu the indiv1du,tl, aud titting the latter to use thew t o tlw best advantage. Unfortunately the term education is uuw

most comm0nly applied to, allCl our method is rrally, a system of mental training. The training of tha body is neglected ;-a serious drnwback to ed ucat1on.

The best possiblP investment is a gooJ educat.iou. It tits us to mert successfully the battlfl of lift>. It is the uwst eff~c·tiv ... 111eans of asserting onrselvrs. A11d siuce this is so. it is highly necessary that the traiuins; grnund shoultl be perfect. The secondary schools are to eo111plete 011r eJucaiinn so meagrely lwgun in the primary schools. But the methods of the schools are far below tliegood stand,t, d to whii,h the.v Oll!lht to have at tainedalread v. Hour sP.condary sch,,ol•rnre to fit us went.LI ly, ph,vsically, sociall.v, economically, and politically; tlwre must be a revolution in the programme of studiesaud in the point of vi,•wfrom whichthe81il,j,·cts are aµprnacheJ. Tlie lessous should be brought to bear wore 011 everyday life and should be of a more practical natuni.

They sho1i!d not be merely vreparatious for recitals on the exallliuatiou day. The chilJn·n shoulJ be taught how tu apply what they learu.

A!I for thP prima1·_y schools I can do no better than quote Mr. William D. Lewis of the William Penu High i::ld1ool, Phil., Pa.: "Schools in the l'lementary grades should begin to teach the nature of co-operative functiuus of society. 'l'he childreu should Ii,! tau:!ht what the policema 11, the fireman, ,rn<l the street clettner Jo. They should underst11n,I that the str.-,ets 1,elun,! to the people auJ are lent in part to trausit companies auJ to telephone, lighting and water co111panies. As they !'Pach the grammar grades they ~lroul<l learn about the abuses against which the people must defend their ow II interests Tire alliance betweeu corrupt public officials an,l µulilic service corporations shoulcl be shown up as a conspiracy against pul,lic welfare, that affects directly the comfort and pr,1sµPrity of every citize11. From this type of instruction it is a simple step to an umlerstanding of gre,tt natiou,Li questions that are claiming the serious thought of every patriot."

Well would we do to consider that. What au infinite amount of gooJ it, wou!J produce. "The secunJary scho,,!s C><ll hasten the process of social thinking iu other ways. Its iustitutio11al Jemocracy can beco111e a habit, of life in the youths who are just forming tb.-,ir lif~ h:,hits. 'l'o this eud it must first abolish suobl>ish society and fraternitv."

This disease is fiudiug a firn1 footing in a few of our seconJarv schools, especially among the i:tirls, and we must thereforP stamp it out as soou as pussible for it sprPc1<ls like "leaven in the dough."

There are some parents who send their boys and girls to secondary ~chools for short intervals with the ohjed of S<'C'Urin~ positious and society, as tliey CHU it, when th ....v leave. Th"Y ,,fte11 manag ... lo scrnpe up a certificate on a few of the lesser subjects.

a bat might be won by tlie first scorer of 50. With this spirit. and bodie~ rendered by the long- vacation quite fit for such an out.ing, the boys wendeil tlwir wav totheA.B.C. wharf in Charlestown on Monday, 10th April 1916, whence at 9.15 am. we sta1ted on our jounH'Y· The party on board consisted of about a dozPn boys and Mr. Pilgrim, whilst a few chose to !.(O up riding.

Onr PrincipHl was not tberP, nor was Mr. Mouldt>r whose abst>nce considernblv weakened onr team. He has g-011e over to the Primary Education D~partment and so could uot play for us.

We tlien started :tt 9.15 a.m. and H.fter a run across the river stop pea :a.t Puoderl>yen for a womim who had it not bren for tl1e vigilance of one of onr pHrtv would h,ive been left on boaril. We procrede.J along to La Grange. Here we bad to wait very long for the transfer hoat. Abont fiv,, minutes aftrr arriving h11re, a ratlwr tall baker bov appeared on the scene. In his lrnnd was a basket. contHining a few cakes, efo. We took no notic6 of him, hut pursued our conversation. Suddenly we hrard h. noise as if things were falling in quick sllf'cession into the water. On turning round we beheld a face, which just hefol'e bore plain ma.rk~ of satisfaction absolutely downcast and sorrowful, peering down into tlw water, w he1 ea t'ew buus conld be sePn bobbing up and down.

He soon aft.er weut away (to report mattPrs ?) and indeerl was to he pitied . Tn tbis interval of about 4.5 minuteR, many or rather all the boys betook themselves f,,r a look ro•111d. With due and legal permission, we proceeded to encroach ,,µon peoples' farms, some of the sci,•ntific boys at thP sa.me ti111e" wondering" at some at.range t.hiugs they saw. Pockets crammed, we retraceu our footsteps to the stelling, there to awtt.it the launch which was now in sight. partaking in the meanwhile of the contents of those pockets.

We then bade farewell to La Grange and about 10.45 a,m.

8tarted for the plantation.

We thoroughJ.v eujoyeil this last part of the voyage; the chirf reason being the appreciative spirit in which the various pa~sengers who were 1 he victims <,four jesting took their respective punishments.

A mid the mirth and inconceivable laughter that was going on, a r:ertai u hat taking offem,e at t.he treat.nwut it was receiving managed to ju mp overboard.

After an unsuccessful Htt.empt at its capture, it was seen goin~ up and down in perfect unison with the undula.tions oft.he waves.

Luckily, it was afterwards recovered by a boatman who exprrssly went in search of it, and restored it to its former owner at small expense.

·we

arrived at our ,lest,inat.ion at about 12.20, and from onr landing place had a 15 mins. walk back to the plrrntation, where we found the greater part of our opponents at some str,ady praetice.

'J'lie da.v wa.s admirably suited to the occa.sion. There was a clear blue sky and a pleasant breeze.to temper the effects of a glanng sun.

Our opponent,s having won the tos~. decided to have first turn 011 a perfect batsman's wicket, Ewin~ bPgan our attack from t.hf' south end.

The first. ball was put for a single; the last three were trea,trd likewise, whilst the third realized a four. 'l'he next over was a maiden ; the next two saw the additinn of fourteen runs to the score. It was a.t this st.age that the first wicket fell ; Sampsou wlio had edzed out of the crease to get the ball square being smartly stun1pe,i b_v Wong. Fllltou then partnered Stanford, bnt these two had arlderl onlv 8 rnus to the score when Stanford was bowled by Ewing for a wrll-played 14. 'l'hen thinR"S began to wake n p. The scorfl was takrn to forty, whPn Geering havinr.r hit the ball high in the air. was beaut,ifull_v taken by Gilkes at long-off.

The batsman walked back to the pavilion ,m<l his plttce was taken b_v Massiah. who aftPr adding the enviablP thirteen. was caught and bowled by Mr. Pilgrim.who had now rt>plitced Gilkes, Johnson too l1ad been tried insteari of E'wing, bnt this howler prnvine: ineffective and rnther costly, lewis i was given bis place. 'With GilkPs a~ interchange Mr. Pilgrim and Lewis succeeded aftt1r having dismissed Fnlton and Goodfellow for 21 and 23 respPctivt>ly, in sending back the remaining four men for as small an amount as 14, runs. Our opponents' 1st Innings thus closPd for 119 runs. Gilkes and Ewin1; e,teh c:i.pt.nred 3 wickets for 23 and 33 rnns n·~pectively. Mr. Pilgrim 2 for 20 and Lewis 2 for 16.

Abo11t, 20 mins. later we had our turn, I am not certain when the first wtcket fell; hut :i.fter that they fell fast and quick; there was a regular procession of 6 men to and fro between the wicket.,who added only 14 to the ah·eady existinl! score of thirty . Barnes and Foster worked the havoc. The former got two wickets for 15 runs, whilst the l~tter. also rPsponsihle for the downfall of our last three boys, who increased our total by 14 runs, took 8 wickets for 19 runs, Extras proving vrry h~lpful, we endPd with 78 runs, being thus beaten on the Ist innings hv 4 l runs. This woukl not have been the case bad the chances given to our boys been t,i,ken, and the fielding- more-up-to-date.

But it is not to be deuieil we at first played very badly. Unly Johnson and Wong played something like cricket, the former surviving the whole innings, (but making 19 only at that time ). Three men fell victims to the ''off theory" (the catches thus brought off in the slips by Foster being indeed fine). Our innings closed at about 3 o'clock After half-an-hour's adjournment tot.he pavilion for tea, the Di ,tmond XI began their 2nd Iu11in~s at 3.30 and at 4. 15 p.n1. we were ready to have our turn. They collaµsed in some unaccountable way, making

18

QUEEN'S COLLEGE SCHOOL MAGAZINE

only 46. The only reason to suggest is that our boys were tborougbl_v invigorated a11d refresl1ed by the half-hour's interval and tea. Bov11 who before appeared weary aud hag-izard uncler that tropical sun, and who could not deliver the ball with anytlnug like pace, now sent it down like lions. 'l'he labourers on the plantation loo kin~ on at the mat.ch. wen.. renmrka.bly sileut; quite a contrast tn the 1st In11ings when in high jovial spirits, they gave utterance to such exÂľressions as-'looka' l,ow dem Iii' town boys a' chase bal'. We did indeed have some flue leather-hunting at first. Afterwards Gilkes proved a veritable thorn, capturing 6 wickets for 10 runs. The boys really fielded nicel_y on this occasion and took all the chances the Diamond 0. C. were pleased to offer t,hem, especially Wong, whose place as wicket-keeper had been transferred to Kerry, who creditab, ly rose to expec.:tations. At one time Kerry successfully resorted to bis head as a l.tst resource to stop a fast rising ball from our ~i,tnt Gilkes (and Kerry is uot ver.v tall you know.) 'l'he interchange of these two players brought forth good results, and I should suggest that in future Wong be in the out-field, whilst l{erry dons the gloves.

After a short rest WP began. The first wicket fell at 12, Mr. Pilgrim lJeing taken by Geering off Foster for a single. Ewing then went in and after a short stay was caught by Massiah off F'oster again. Ewing made l 1. 'l'he s<:ore at the iuncture of Wong and Cbabrol ,tt the wick .. ts was 38. The partnership resulted in the nltimate score of 7'i, when Won~ was bowled by a 'slow' from Geering for a well-played 38.

Our opponents' combined scores being jnst passed, and as tht>re was not much time left as we had to get away to catch the launch, after Gilkes had made a single, we stopped play. Chabrol's contribution was 80 out of a total of 90 rnns for 3 wickets. 'The extras amounted to 9. Foster took 2 wickets for 82, whilst Gearing got 1 for 18. On the whole, then, we won by 7 widrnts and 2 runs.

We bad a very lively time during the last three quarters of an hour very risky runs were taken and times of anxiety were not uncommon as to whether the batsmau would arrive within the crease before the bails were nipped off. Bungling increased our fun wbieh was supplemeuted by volumes of laughter from the lusty throats of the by-standing plautation boys and which led to the usual unmeHning- "Queens' College" phrases -Yes, now; surely, another. This grextly perplexed the Dia.moud XI. and someti111e~ resulted in extremes, in which as the result of overthrows we were t.be g,liuers by as much as 5 rnns on oue occasion. Our boys played well iudeed a.s shown bv the scores of Wong- and Cha.bra!, 38, and 30 not out, respectively. Thus euded the last match and the only match we had won in the season.

After giving three chePrs f01¡ our hosts and saying goodbye, we repaired to oudonner lanJin~ place and, st,Lrted nu our hou1ewarJ journey at 6.1 b p.m. The boys, their hearts elated by the recent idea of victory, in-

dulged iu Natioual Airs and Svngs and later 011, by tlw ¡bl' e. in the more fascinating subject of politics. And we arrived at about 7.45 p.Lll. at the A. B. C. wharf iu Georgetown where tbe boys broke up into parties anJ. betook themselves home.

In conclusion W<-' beg to extend our heartiest thanks to the Pln. Diamond C. 0. for their hospitality to us and also to those through whose efforts we were enabled to play so far away from bome. Lastly, it is to be hoped that whenever they visit us we will be able to accord them a day like unto the one when they entert.ained us.

Appeuded are the scores :1st Innings.

LETTER FROM

THE FRONT.

B. E . F. Belgium 9th, May. 1916 'l'he Editor of Q. C. Magazine.

Dear Sir.-

I daresay you will be surprised at receiving a ]ptter from me now, as I suppose it must be about two years since you heard from

QUEEN'S COLLEGE SCHOOL MAGAZINE

me. But I b:tve jnst received tbe Q. C. \lagaziue with yonr note iu it so feel that tbe least 1 cau do is to write a note to let you know that I am 'alive and kicking'.

As yoll SPe I a.m no longt>r on the farm in Canad:1,. 'l'hree of ns eulista<l in the twentv-fourt,h Can:t<lian ba.ttalion about eighteen months 11.KO and we have been 'at. the front' for eight months.

Bushe i (G.~ . > is a sergeant in one of the companies. and •Minor' is a Lance Corporal iu the 8igual section while I am a private in the same section.

1 cannot t. ... ]J y0u where we are exactly as this has to go through tllP hRnds of a Censor but I expect you will have some idea from the papers what µart of tlw line we are holding.

We are at pre~eut several rnilPs bt>hind the firing line resting until it is our turn to go into the trenches again, which I expect will be iu a, fe,v days tim... WP arP in a camp uuder canvas and a.re having flue weather just now, tho,,gh we had ·a pretty fair a111onnt of rain siu(·e we came over.

G. S. was wounded about six weeks ago by the detonation of a, bomb exploding in his baud. It was not serious hut. blew a piece out of his thumb and first finger of lns left baud.

He rejoined the hat. talion a few days ago after stayi11g at sevPral of the hospitals down tbe line. Th,, aceident happened the d"y before he was to go on leave, so as he eould not go then, be went this morning on his six days leave to L11ndou. ~ix davs is not much of a rest but it makes :t change in the monotono11, run of things, and I am looking forward tD the time when I will be lu,:k_v enough to draw tbe right 11umber and get a.way for a short but sweet holiday iu •Blight.v .'

As I Mid before two of us are in thP signal section so that we dou't have the same kind of work to do as the men in the comp;wies.

Our work consists aluiost entirely of operating a telephone as of comse visual signalling is practically out of the question in this trench warfare. We have telephone stations in the trenches with a bA,idquarters' st.ution at bat.talion headquarters. I havP never been ou a trench station so far although I have been into the trenclies several tinws visiting the trnneb stations, mending lines, etc.

The last battalio11 headquarters we Wl're at, was pret.ty safe but the oue we go to now is anything but 'hnmb proof' Howel'er we lrnve had very few cas ualties iu the sectio11 1 am !!l:1,d to sa.v.

1 spe that quite a few of the 01d Boys have enlisted 11nd h"pe I see some of th Pm over here before very long. I t hiuk the on! v one I have met so far is 0. F. Da.y who used to bt-> in the iufaut.!'.Y, tirst division, but has uow beeu trau8fe1 red to th e artil!Pry wiLh l1is .' ouuger brother.
