At last the longed-for Laboratories are an accomplished fact and work was carried on in them throughout the whole of last term, the accommodation being greatly appreciated by those who were lucky enough to do their work there. The four rooms-two laboratories and two lecture rooms-are very commodious and the former will each accommodate, with ease, a couple of dozen boys doing practical work, while the latter will each seat a greater number. There is a useful balance room and plenty of accommodation for stores. The exterior of black and white has a very pleasing effect among the-trees. The cricket season was disappointing as we won very few matches. The batting was unreliable and at times broke down badly before bowling which was in reality quite simple. This was particularly noticeable in the two matches against Ellesmere, who beat us for the first time since 1914. Steele and Jones, with help from Baker, were the mainstay of the bowling, which was the best part of our cricket. The fielding was uncertain and with a few exceptions showed a great lack of anticipation; it should be remembered that fielders should always run to meet the ball and cut across its path to intercept. We should like to congratulate Mr. Long on the very able and inspiring work he has done with the Scouts who at present number 55-a record. They look very neat in their new grey uniforms and possess a drum and bugle band which would do credit to any D.T.C. They put in any amount of practice and have profited considerably from the instruction of Sergeant Cross.

Speech Day was held on Wednesday, July 4th and was rendered memorable by the presence of the Marquis and Marchioness of Cambridge. Whole holidays were granted on WhitMonday and on Ascension Day. The Shakespearean Play chosen for presentation this year is Much Ado about Nothing" and will be performed on Wednesday, November 28th, at 3-0 p.m., and Thursday, November 29th, at 7-30 p.m. We wish it all success.

SPEECH DAY.
July 4th, 1923, was a red-letter day in the annals of Ellesmere School, for we were honoured by a visit from the Marquis of Cambridge-the Queen's brother- and the Marchioness-the daughter of the Duke of Westminster. Further it was the official opening day of the new Laboratories and also of the O.T.C. Miniature Shooting Range, both of which had been greatly needed for some years. . The Marquis and Marchioness arrived at 3-30 and were received by a Guard of Honour, furnished by the O.T.C. After the Marquis had inspected the Guard of Honour and congratulated Captain Stealey upon its efficiency, the record crowd of visitors adjourned to 'the Laboratories which were formally declared open by the Marquis. The visitors then made a tour of inspection through the various rooms and expressed great satisfaction at their roominess and the manner in which they were fitted out, numbers remarking that they wished they had been able to work in such places when they were at School. The Marquis finally fired the opening shot in the Miniature Range-he scored a bull-and declared it officially open. On adjourning to the Dining Hall for the usual Speeches and Prize Distribution the Marquis expressed his great pleasure at being able to be present on such an auspicious day in the School's history and declared that he had not the slightest doubt that the new Laboratories would enable the already good standard of the science in the School to be raised to a still higher level. The Provost, in his speech, entered into some personal history and explained how that he, himself, owed a great debt to the late Duke of Westminster in that the latter had been the chief instrument in his ap-

pointment as Provost of the Midland Division of the Woodard Schools. He further recalled the munificence of the late Duke in helping us to build the Big School and to make other additions to our buildings. With reference to the opening of the Laboratories, the Provost said that another of his ideals for Ellesmere had now been realized and that, if he could but see the new Chapel built and dedicated, he would feel that Providence had been very kind to him in allowing him to have had a share in the great advances made by S. Oswald's in the last quarter of a century. The Head Master gave his usual annual record of the work and general events connected with the School, and expressed his satisfaction at the even way in which the school year had passed by. He commented on the usual extraordinary clean bill of health and once again appealed to parents to allow their sons to stay longer at School, and so enable them to reap the inestimable advantages to be derived from spending the important years of sixteen to eighteen at School. The Marchioness then gave away the prizes and the Marquis further added to his popularity by asking for a 'halfholiday' amid the plaudits of the School. The afternoon changed to a warm and sunny one, and our visitors were consequently enabled to have tea in the quadrangle, thus adding a little more enjoyment to a thoroughly satisfactory afternoon.

O. T. C.
Another year's work has been carried through successfully and another annual inspection has proved satisfactory, if we except the weakness of the band in welcoming the Inspecting Officer-General T. O. Marsden, C.B. The standard of the drill has been high throughout the year, though it was somewhat broken into by the work necessary for the Certificate" A " candidates. During the term two more members were successful in passing this exam.Corporal K. G. Reid, and Corporal A. H. Shakeshaft-which brought our successes for the year up to seven. We ought to have more, however, and hope the successful ones will be doubled in number during the coming year. The Miniature Shooting Range was finished early in the term and declared open by the Marquis of Cambridge on Speech Day, July 4th. It has been a great drawback to the shooting of the Corps that

there has been no covered range, but now that we do possess one-and a very good one-we should see soon a great improvemen t in the shooting of the Corps. There is no reason why we should not, in the near future, send a Shooting VIII. to Bisley to compete with other Public Schools for the Ashburton Shield, The Spencer Cup, and other trophies. The School ought to be represented there, and it will be the keenness of the members of the O.T.C. about their shooting which will render such an ambition possible. The cancelling of Camp at the last moment by the Camp Authorities, owing to there being a few cases of " mumps " in the School was a disappointment, as many had been looking forward to having a good time at Tidworth. \Ve should like to see more cadets put down their names next year, as the number we send is not in sufficient proportion to the numbers in the Corps.

Having examined each Platoon separately in Platoon Drill, the General proceeded to inspect the Corps in maneeuvres,

7 Parades have been held regularly on Tuesdays and Fridays during the Lent and Summer Terms. The weather has not always been kind, but in spite of this, many enjoyable afternoons have been spent-especially on the occasions when our brothers, the Wolf Cubs from S. John's have been able to join us. We, as a Troop, owe a tremendous lot to Cubmaster Drawbridge. It is to him that we owe our existence to-day, as it was he who started Scouts" at S. Oswald's. He is always keenly interested in what we. do, and in him we have all a trusty and helpful adviser. It is the great desire of the Chief Scout that we (Scouts) should meet and mix with our small brothers, the Wolf Cubs, as much as possible. In fact, particular stress has been laid on this point of duty quite recently. Therefore I hope that we shall see as much of the Pack as we can, and thus carry out one of the wishes of our Chief. At the end of the Lent Term we decided to change our uniform. It now consists of grey shirt, shorts and stockings with two red bands and a one-red neckerchief. The general opinion is, that it is a great improvement on the old blue one. In this happy choice, the Headmaster kindly gave us his advice and guidance as to the best colours to adopt. We sent as many of our old uniforms as possible to the Criften's Troop (Mr. Cole's parish), which was delighted to have them, as it had only recently been formed, and most of the boys could not afford to purchase brand new uniforms. Unfortunately (not being over-blessed with funds), we could not give away the uniforms, but were obliged to make a small charge on each. The result was f2, with which we were able to purchase a Troop Flag, which was badly needed.

Marching down to the lower school field, a portion took up a position behind a small hill from which they had to attack a ridge in front, defended by certain Lewis-Gun sections under the command of Sergeant-Major Cobbold. Having been driven from this position by a skiflul outflanking movement, Sergeant-Major Cobbold fell back to the higher ground on our right and succeeded in annihilating NO.3 Platoon. However, Nos. 1 and 2 Platoons occupied the neighbouring hill and commenced a strong attack on the enemy's new position. No.1 Platoon, having the position covered by two Machine Guns, gave covering fire to NO.2 Platoon which started an attack on the right flank of the enemy. At this point the cease'fire " was blown and, when the Company had formed up into a square, General Marsden gave a short outline of the movement as it should have been done, explaining the weak points in our efforts. He was very pleased with the general keenness shown by all, and the smartness shown in carrying out the plans of attack. He hoped that all who possibly could, would attend Camp and that a large number of us would join the Territorial Army when we left School. He concluded by asking for a Halfholiday which was very kindly granted by the Headmaster.

THE SCOUTS.
At the end of the Christmas Term Mr. Breakell, our scoutmaster. left us and the unfortunate assistant scoutmaster was faced with the task of taking over the Troop. Mr. Breakell had been in charge of us since 1919. and we would like to express our thanks for all he did for us.

The commencement of the Summer Term saw the formation of a band. We purchased 12 bugles, 2 aluminium Shell Side Drums, and a Bass Drum. We are most proud of them, though they well nigh left us destitute of funds. We still lack bugle cords, but we hope to obtain these by some means, a little later on. We have been most fortunate in obtaining the regular services of such a skilled Band Instructor as Sergeant Cross. He has been unfailing in his energies and patience. Band Practices are held on Mondays and Thursdays and the result up to date is more than encouraging. Brown iv. and Seddon make an excellent pair of side-drummers, while there is little to choose between Sheffield i. and Hickson 'with regard to their powers over the 'big drum, except that the latter is rather greater in girth. We do not express our opinion on the buglers as yet. They are coming on well, and certainly some are far from lacking in
" wind."

Club-room. However, new possessions often bring additional expense, and so our hearts sank into our boots when we first saw the state of the room and thought of the cost of putting it into decent repair. But they soon rose again at the vision of possibilities which a decently appointed Club-room suggested; and a good number got to work to do the rough cleaning. A nice filthy job it was, but despite this fact we enjoyed ourselves thoroughly. The finding of a skeleton of a cat caused much merriment and comment, providing a topic of conversation for the " small fry" for many days. But on being told that our Club-room was at one time the' abode of the School Museum, all the wild suggestions as to pussy's tragic end were dispelled, and we concluded that the venturesome animal must have strayed too far on the occasion of the removal of the Museum, or have been ejected as' an unworthy representative of its race. The Club-room has since been redecorated, and presents quite a different aspect, as also do the Troop Funds-not such a cheering one, I fear. We shall have to knock our heads together and devise some means of recovering ourselves. At present, our energies are 'devoted to trying to provide ourselves with furniture, pictures, etc. Mr. Morelli very generously gave us two framed Medici Prints, the Duke of Wellington and Lord Nelson. We all thank him very. much. We are trying to get together a Library and each scout is going to try and aim at bringing back one book each Term. The Captain of School (E. E. Baker) kindly started us off by presenting us with 20 books. We are most grateful to him for his generosity and warmly thank him. Parrick has added I8 others, and Seddon 7. Our thanks to them also. We also boast of a gramaphone and some 30 odd records.
J

The Headmaster has very kindly made us the gift of a handsome silver bugle, engraved with Scout's Badge, Motto and name of donor. It is to be competed for at intervals, and held by the best bugler who alone will be allowed to use it. Words fail us to express our gratitude to the kind giver, nor can we fully show the pride we feel at being the happy possessors of such a magnificent article. We hope he will accept our humble thanks and appreciation of his kindness. The old proverb" It's an ill wind that blows nobody any good," has proved its value to us recently. Little did His Majesty's Inspectors think that they were doing S. Oswald's Scouts a real good tum" when they condemned the old Science School in I921. The latter being transformed into the Armoury, we were fortunate to secure the Old Armoury as a

CRICKET CHARACTERS.
****]. }. Steele (Captain).-A thorough and hard-working captain. As a batsman he has been most unlucky. Has good strokes all round the wicket, with a very powerful drive. His bowling has been uniformly good and its success fully merited. A clean field, with a smart throw-in.

**E. E. Baker (Vice-Captain).-A righthand fast bowler-good on his day, but rather erratic at times. Plays with a much straighter bat than formerly, but was somewhat unlucky. Very good in the field and did some particularly good work in the slips. *R. W. Everall.-The most improved bat on the side. As' a left-hander was naturally stronger on the on-side and usually scored with freedom. A useful bat to send in first. Was a very fair change bowler; good in many places in the field and acted as deputy behind the wickets on several occasions with considerable success. *F. V. Jones.-A very sound opening batsman with a useful variety of strokes. Has played some useful innings just when required. A medium fast right-hand bowler with an excellent length, except when he tries to bowl beyond his strength. Fields well and has a safe pair of hands. **T. ]. Greenwood.-Rather disappointing as a batsman, for he did not fulfil the promise of the previous season. An excellent fielder and a magnificent catch, except when he treats the easy ones too lightly. **A. K. A-ustin.-Started well and then struck a bad patch which lasted for half the season. Has a quick eye, but needs to playa much straighter bat. As it is a fast straight one is liable to bowl him at any time. Good in the field. ttC. D. Todd.-Greatly improved on his form of the previous year and continued the improvement as the season progressed. On the whole he was good in the field. but was liable to drop a soft catch.

te. R. 8eere.-A

new member of the side who should make a good batsman: he is not afraid of hitting the loose ball and played several sound innings when they were particularly needed. Kept wicket well on the whole, but at one time developed the habit of standing in the middle' position to a fast bowler, till one knocked him out. Should he of great use next season. tG. H. Chambers.-Plays a very straight bat. but does it too slowly: needs to watch the ball all the' way. Very useful in the field. te. E. Tattersall.-A greatly improved batsman with a particularly good drive. Needs more confidence and then would deal with loose balls in a more satisfactory manner. A slow bowler who might do big things in the future with perseverance. Too slow in the field: otherwise has the makings of a good all-round cricketer. tl. F. Buckley.-A smaIl but useful batsman, who should do well with more experience. Apt to play back to wellpitched up balls. Should make a good bowler as he develops. **** 1920-21-22-23 rst XI.

In two consecutive September numbers of The Ellesmerian," I have seen a letter asking for an efficient band to the Corps, but though bugles have been blown spasmodically and a few drums have growled here and there at times, we still seem as far off as ever from the desired object. Cannot the Corps emulate the Scouts? During the last couple of Terms the latter have set to work in earnest and now possess a band of which they may well be proud. Yours faithfully,

THE OLD ELLESMERIAN

CHRONICLE,

EDITORIAL.
Space in this number for an editorial is limited as we are issuing the usual annual list of ~ddresses. but the editor would just like to ask for full support from members for the local dinners which have been arranged this autumn. Members are also reminded that subscriptions for 1923 are NO\V OVERDUE, and there are many outstanding. . H.W.B.

LOCAL GATHERINGS, I923.

The Local dinners have been fixed for the coming autumn and will be held thus: Manchester, Saturday, October rjth, 1923. . London, Saturday, December rst, 1923. Full particulars should be obtained from the local secretaries in each case, and not from the Hon. Secretary general. The Annual O.E. Football Match against the School will take place on Saturday, December rst, 1923. Those desirous of being included in the team should apply to the O.E. Games Manager, The Rev. W. R. H. Cosens. A photograph of the Cricket teams of Past and Present, taken on Whit-Monday, is available on application to the Hon. Secretary. The prices are :Full plate size mounted 3/- each. " " " unmounted 2/6 each. Postcards 4d. each.

CIVIL AVIATION.
V. N. DICKENSON, Civil Pilot. (Woodard Dormitory, 1910). Progress cannot o'er-sleep itself as may ambition I Especially is this true when

applied to our endeavours to gain commercial supremacy in the Air. Per Ardua ad Astra." How is progress in commercial flying to be maintained? Before we hazard a solution, it must be pointed out at once that c1im8;ticconditions in this land of ours will always cripple our efforts to maintain regular trade air rontes. The weather is fickle. Visibility is seldom good and fogs and mists are rarely absent. The country, moreover, is too small. Compared with America we labour under a heavy disadvantage, in this respect only. We have already a multiplicity of means for transport, the sea, the rail, and road motor transport. It is in the colonies that well organized commercial air routes could be worked and experimented with to the best advantage. There, the climate is stable, the land is vast, and railways and roads comparatively few. Commercial air routes· radiating from these sea ports ev.elltually linked to London would bnng the furthermost parts of the Empire into a close and more direct communication with the great financial centre of the world. Just as our present means of transport depend on goods traffic, so eyent~ally will our commercial and financial air supremacy depend on the transport of freight. France with her heavy subsidy has . almost captured our traffic iri this respect. To wrest from her this advantage we must resort to two alternatives, (I) We must increase our subsidy to the Air lines or (2) We must subsidize our constructors so that they ate able to t?rn out tramp machines capable of car.r~mg.several. tons of goods and mail, rem~mmg I~ the air for long periods and tra vellmg at high and lo~ speeds and landing at low speed. ThIS latter alternative would be the best though perhaps 110t so immediate, however It would help our constructors and quicken

lines to compete without subsidy.

their ideas, and eventually enable our Air We have also to consider the vital question of pilots. There are at present roughly 200 British civil pilots. A number of these are out of the country. Some hundreds of ex-R.A.F. pilots are now being trained by the R.A.F. Reserve, very few, however, wish to resume flying as an occupation. When this supply has become exhausted (which will be in the. very near future) upon whom are we to call to fly our civil machines? most members of the R.A.F. will remain in the Service until they retire. Civilian Companies cannot afford at present to train pilots. Whilst the R.A.F. Reserve Scheme is in its infancy, would it not be wise for the Air Ministry to look ahead and commence to train at once boys of I7, who would be willing and capable 5 years later of taking posts as civil pilots, and at the same time remain attached to the R.A.F. Reserve. Aviation will shortly be a very large industry and opportunities should be' given to boys at school to learn something of this SUbject. A special school should be founded for this object also. In the same way that the War Office help to finance the G.T.e's., so should the Air Ministry finance and lend instructors for training a flying squad at our larger schools and colleges. England is no longer an Island. She is joined to the rest of the world by the great and universal highway of the heavens. She is accessible from the four quarters of the earth. Let us see to it that we command the Vasty deep" of the ethereal blue.

THE OLD ELLESMERIAN LIST OF ADDRESSES.

CHRONICLE.

These addresses are as complete as the Secretary can make them. The date after each name is the year of admission to the School. In case of former masters, who are not old boys, the years during which they were on the staff are given. Addresses known to be correct, should be sent at once. Old boys would save both trouble to the Hon. Sec., and expense to the Club, if on leaving an address, they would send their new address immediately. It is moss difficult to -keep these addresses accurate, and the number of communications returned" not known," " gone away," and so on, is surprising. . Acheson, W. G.
