EDITORIAL.

    We have frequently had occasion to compliment both pre-
sent and Old Boys of the School on their successes, but never,
we think, has there been a list of achievements quite so striking
as that which we are able to publish this term. Special congratu-
lations are due to the Old Boys on having gained so many dis-
tinguished academic and professional qualifications.
It is clear that Secondary Schools of the type of ours, having
become an accepted portion of the educational system of the
country, are establishing the claim that is made for them, that
they are preparing boys for their life’s work and fitting their
pupils to undertake with confidence university and business
careers for which, not many years ago, only a very limited
number of schools could have equipped them.
We are looking to the specialised Engineering and Com-
mercial Courses now starting for further evidence of the ability
of our boys to start their chosen careers holding qualifications
which will enable them to fill the highest positions of respon-
sibility that are open to them.

HEAD MASTER’S NOTES.

    Autumn Term, 1929.—The Autumn Term will begin on
Thursday, 12th September, and end on Wednesday, x8th Decem-
ber, 1929. Holders of season tickets are asked to see that their
railway passes are made out to cover both these dates. -
Obituary.—At the close of the School Year we find ourselves
bereft of two friends~Councillor C. Boyton, and J. T. Fea, Esq.,
who were distinguished for their loyal interest and support to
the School and its many activities.
Mr. Boyton had returned a few years ago to his native town
as a retired Bank Manager from Birmingham, and was devoting
his time and energy to public work. in the Town Council and in
Diocesan and political circles. His sudden death was a great
shock to his many friends. We all mourn his loss, and sincerely
• sympathise with Mrs. Boyton, who has in a measure taken up
his work by becoming a member of the Town Council and of
our School Governing Body.
After Mr. Fea’s retirement from the War Department, he
had come to live at Deal, and had taken a prominent part in
local Church affairs and various local philanthropic societies.
Ever a cheery and encouraging patron of Public Secondary
Education, he had become thc President of the Parents’ Asso-
ciation, to which he gave unfailing attention. We hoped that
his hospital treatment in London would have secured his recovery,
but during April he gradually grew worse, and passed peace-
fully to his rest on 2nd May, 1929.
We) gratefully record their services. May their examples
inspire us to equal endeavour.

Admissions.—The July issue of the Pharos provides an oppor-
tunity to say that it is most advisable for parents who wish their
boys to enter the School, to make immediate application to the
Head Master, or to the District Secretary, 7, Castle Street,
Dover. Our School Year begins in September, and in order
to facilitate School organisation the first Entrance Examination
for September vacancies will be held at the Senior School on
Saturday, 27th July. Pupils can still be admitted to the Pre-
paratory Forms at the age of 8 years, and boys should normally
begin their formal study of Languages, Science and Mathematics,
before the age of II years. There is a danger that pupils over
-that age, other than those who are transferred from Secondary
or Grammar Schools, may be unable to take their place in a
Form appropriate to their age. Entrance at the beginning of
the School Year is also extremely important because the loss of
the first term’s work is a great drawback and may mean the loss
of the year’s promotion.

Staff.—The School will be glad to know that the Sixth Form
Advanced Course in Commerce is to be in the charge of Mr.
C. G. W. Robinson, B.Sc.Economics, and we welcome him most
heartily to the pioneer work of this new department. An Old
Boy of Dulwich College, and formerly a Law Student of King’s
College, London, who has done a considerable amount of teach-
ing in connexion with the Workers’ Educational Association and
Research in the London University School of Commerce, he is
academically well equipped. He has won the sincere regard of
educationists in and around Exeter and its University College,
and I have no doubt he will establish similar claims to the
gratitude of all who are interested in educational progress at
Dover.

New School Buildings .—T he contract for the. New School
Buildings at Astor Avenue has been placed with Mr. J. J.
Clayson, of Lyminge, and we are much encouraged that the
long delay has ended at last. Before term ends, the builders’
sheds and apparatus will be on the site, and by the time the
new term begins, building materials will be there also and the
sound of the workmen’s tools will be heard in the land! • So at
length the last stage has definitely been begun. Knowing the
demands made upon the Kent Education Committee by other
towns in Kent that their claims for Secondary Education should be met, Dover can hardly be too grateful for ~the generous treatment meted out to the town and district.

Junior .':)cl1ool.-The unsuitability of junior School furniture for the use of adults at Evening Classes, in the Technical Institute buildings, has completed the Committee to re-consider the housing of the Junior School] Preparatory Forms, a~lcI it has been decided that 11C':d term these Preparatory Forms shall occupy two of the classrooms in the Frith Road buildings. This arrangement makes the organization of the School a more difficult task, but we have learned to regard increasing difficulties as the opportunity for the display of additional good temper and patience. At any rate these accumulated inconveniences are but of a two years' duration. Meantime I hope neither the parents nor the staff will" furiously rage togetl1C'r, ". nor the boys" imagine a vain thing."
Courses of Study.—The School appreciates the financial
assistance and the additional Staff which the Kent Education
Committee have given to the Sixth Form Courses for 1929—30.
The replies from parents to my circular letters of enquiry in
regard to the course of study for the V. and VT. Forms, show
an increasing appreciation of Upper School work. ‘vVe are now
beginning a second generation of Secondary Education~a new
and widespread interest has been awakened. Parents are
deeply concerned as they have never been before. They recognise
that a good education is the best gilt-edged investment, and
often very heavy sacrifices are made in order that boys should
remain at School. The position of VI. Form work is therefore
definitely assured, and our varied programme the more welcome.
It is perhaps inevitable that divergent views should arise con-
cerning the slogan—” Education for Industry,” but in the spirit
of goodwill a happy reconciliation of differences can he secured.
Our past VI. Form work in Arts and in Science has been fully
justified by this year’s University records. The extension of
the work in the direction of Engineering Science, Commerce,
and Biological Studies provides an elasticity of curriculun~ which
should preserve the individuality of the pupil and supply men
who are later to fill varied responsible posts. Of course we
must equip the boys to earn their own living, but we must not
forget also to lay stress upon a conception of life which has a
cultural background

Ernployment.rf1~ere is no more harassing problem for parents
and boys in the Summer Term than the choice of employme~~t
for those leaving School. It is a task of momentous lml)ortance,
particularly for Secondary Schools whose pupils have varied
qualifications and considerable educational equipment. Great
assistance has hitherto been rendered by the Headmasters’
Association Employment Bureau, of which Capt. Everest is the
Secretary. There is evidence that the potential value of the
Secondary School type of recruit is being increasingly recognised
by employers. Existing arrangements are now to be overhauled,
and a more systematic official provision made to meet local
circumstances and local needs, so that parents may be fully
informed of the opportunities which lie open to their boys in the
public service, in professions, in industry and in commerce.
The opportunities for students of Biology, outline4 in the pam-
phlet of the Ministry of Agriculture, and circulated to the parents
of the V. and VI. Forms, is a case in point. An important
circular on the choice of employment has been issued by the
Minister of Labour to all Local Education Authorities, and a
special committee has been appointed by the K.E.C. to consider
the circular and how best its suggestions can be brought into
operation. I will not anticipate the findings of this special com-
mittee. No doubt it will deal with such problems as by whom
and how, best advice may be given to the pupils concerned, how
these young people may have access to the fullest possible informa—
tion concerning careers open to them, and how the greatest
measure of co-operation of employers can be secured. Employ-
ment Bureaux or Appointments Boards have been established
at the Universities to act as links with the employers. A similar
sort of thing would encourage leading firms to be eager to have
the type of boy which the Secondary School has to offer. Plainly.
Secondary Education gives an enhanced prospective value to
the candidate, and employers keen for efficiency appreciate the
fullest information about boys’ qualifications. The panicky
July stampede into any job that offers, and the resultant
repentance at leisure must be avoided. Square pegs must be
kept out of round holes.

Co-operation with Chambers of Commerce.—Conferences have
been held between representatives of the Headmasters’ Association and the Association of British Chambers of Commerce, I or
the purpose of bringing boys from Secondary Schools into touch
with prospective employers. Proposals are being submitted to
the two Associations the main features of which are as follows.
The Association of British Chambers of Commerce will urge its
branches to support co-operation in all districts. Local Chambers of Commerce will compile lists of employers willing to offer
vacancies to boys over r6 years of age, and special lists of
employers willing to engage boys of 18 years of age. Schools
will supply lists of boys desiring employment, marking those
who have passed the School Certificate, and the Higher Certificate Examinations. Local Chambers of Commerce are to be
urged to co-opt Headmasters of Secondar~- Schoo
Councils. It is a matter for congratulation that so mud has been made. It is certain that representati\'es of C
of Commerce do desire to help boys find posts with sea their particular abilities. At the same time it is realized the success or failure must of necessity turn upon the degree of co-operation in different areas.

Prize Giving, etc .—Next term promises great excitements.
If things go not awry we may confidently look forward to the
laying of the foundation stone about mid-October. How
delightful it would be if the date coincided with that on which
we entered the Frith Road premises in 1916. We must work to
that end, and we must not be satisfied unless the official cere-
monies maintain the high level of those connected with the
School’s Coming-of-Age in 1926. A school which is set on a hill
cannot be hid.
Later in the term we are to be honoured by a visit from Lord
and Lady Cornwallis, who have consented to officiate at the
Prize Giving in the Town Hall, on 15th November. As Chairman
of the Kent County Council, and a most distinguished member
of an honoured Kentish family, as well as for his pre-eminence
in the Masonic world, he will add by his visit an affectionate
Kentish page to our annals.
To Boys leaving School—I take this opportunity of saying
good-bye to the boys who, doubtless with regret, are leaving the
School where happy years have been spent. For them tbe prac-
tice at the nets is over, and the match of Life is now to be begun.
They have, I believe, acquired our traditional habits of honest,
hard work, of cheerfully accepting triumph and disaster with
equanimity, of never shirking the drudgery inevitable to clear
thinking, a sense of honour and the habit of self-reliance which
are far above :earning and scholarship. We thank them for their
share in making and upholding such good traditions, and the
best wish with which we can speed them on their way, is that
they may become makers and upholders of good traditions else-
where. Sad it must always be to say good-bye, but our good-
byes mingle with their sorrow a happy looking forward to the
adventure of the future, and we hope for them that they may
indeed fare well in their new undertakings. If I must give them
a general moral, it would be in those words which were written
about Cou~
“This very remarkable man
Commends a most practical plan:
You can do what you want,
If you don’t think you can’t,
So don’t think you can’t—think you can.~~

THE SCHOOL BAZAAR.

    Long before us in the near future, there can be seen already the biggest financial venture on which the School has yet embarked. It is nothing less than the raising of at least £400 which, added to the amount generously subscribed by private donors, will enable us to build an organ in the new School Hall. Perhaps we can best enter upon this stupendous task if
we approach it with grateful hearts, realising in it an opportunity
of showing in tangible form how deeply we appreciate the
generosity of the Kent Education Committee, and how anxious
we are to do our part to sound the note of praise and thanks-
giving.
The idea in brief is to hold a Bazaar next May—no ordinary
Bazaar, but an old Dover Street reconstructed in the Maison
Dieu Hall, an idea f or which we are indebted not (for once) to
the Head Master, but to his wife. In this street various mem-
bers of the Staff, assisted—need it be said ?—by their wives and
in co-operation with Parents, Old Boys, and the many well-.
wishers of the School, will open shops and, for the nonce, forsake
their academic calling. One yearns to be an ironmonger, another
has taken a lease of a fish shop, a third an old curiosity shop,
while others—but of course you will be there to see for yourself.
Meanwhile the ladies (mothers, sisters and friends) are
invited to our Working Parties, the like of which was never
yet seen within our School walls; and all—regardless of age and
station—are urged to obtain purchase vouchers, which, care-
fully preserved, will enable them to buy their hearts’ desires at
their favourite “shop.” I fancy some of the purchase vouchers
are lucky numbers. I wonder which!
As a start, our very successful Whist Drive on rrth July,
realised £8 14s. 6d. for purchase of materials. O.M.R.

PARENTS’ ASSOCIATION.

    In common with his very many friends, the Parents’ Asso-
ciation heard with deepest regret of the death of our esteemed
Chairman and friend, Mr. Fea, after a long illness. We of the
Executive Committee have always appreciated his good work,
both as a Committeeman and also as our Chairman, and his loss
has cast a gloom over the School, and even more particularly
over Deal, where his public offices were numerous. We tender
our very sincere sympathy to Mrs. Fea and her family in their
irreparable loss.
The opening of term saw the end of our social activities, which
have been well attended and enjoyed.
With this number of the Pharos will be found a programme
of social events for the coming winter, which we hope will meet
with approval. Will parents and friends please keep this for
reference, and make a special effort to attend some, or all, of the various events? We are certain they will have an enjoyable time.
A fair number of parents watched the drill di"play for the Parents' Association Challenge Cup, and the winners, Town House, are to be congratulated on their victory.
The School Sports were favoured with fine weather, but most of us would have liked to cast off a garment instead of having to add to our attire as we did, for the keen wind made one feel that winter was still hanging around.
Now that the annual cricket match, Parents v. Boys, is a thing of the past, we should like to say how sorry we are in not being able to raise a team to meet the lads. This is not as it should be, because there must be more than seven parents willing to play, but our difficulty is to know who these parents are. Next year we hope to raise a team who will give a good account of themselves. It was unique to have the rival captains father and son; and if Mr. Stanway's team did not win the match, they won the toss, so we beat the boys at something.
Now that it is decided to hold a bazaar in an effort to raise about £400 to bring the total Organ Fund to £1,000, we hope that all friends and parents will spare no effort to help make this a success. Coupons can be purchased now, and some of us are hoping to buy enough coupons so that by next May we shall be able to purchase a whole stall, and perhaps the stall holder as well !
Congratulations to the Rev. A. T. Slater on becoming Chairman of the Executive Committee.

OLD BOYS' ASSOCIATION NOTES.

    The Annual General Meeting of the Association was held at the School on the 4th April last, and a list of names of Officers and Committee elected at this meeting will be found on the cover of this Magazine.
The Secretary in his report mentioned that the membership of the Association for the past year stood at 128 members, and this figure constitutes a record in the history of the Association, exceeding the previous record of 1924 by 24 members.
The Treasurer's report showed that there was a balance of £10 3s. 9d. at the Bank, and having regard to the heavy expense of printing and stationery, a lot of which will be used during the present year, the result was considered as being exceedingly satisfactory.
On the 15th May, a party of Old Boys and friends attended an evening performance of the musical comedy, "Virginia," at the Pleasure Gardens Theatre at Folkestone. This event proved to be successful, and an endeavour will be made to organise another outing of this nature towards the end of the year, when it is hoped that we shall again be favoured with the hearty support of all members.
There are still several members who have yet to renew their subscriptions, and they are kindly requested to remit same to the Secretary with the least possible delay. Arrangements have been made for membership cards and particulars of Winter programme to be issued shortly.
Will members advise the Secretary of changes of address, etc., so that he can keep them in touch with the activities of the Association?
Blazer Badges.-These have now come to hand, and, in accordance with the ruling of the General Committee, Blazer Badges and Old Boys' Ties can only be purchased by members, on application to the Secretary. The Blazer Badge is similar in design to that worn by the present boys, but is 'worked in gold and silver wire, and the price is 7/- each. Old Boys' Ties are supplied at 3S. each. It will be appreciated if members will make application, together with remittance, for Blazer Badges and Ties, to the Secretary by post.
Annual Dinl1er.-This has been fixed for Saturday, 16th November, 1929, and it is hoped that Old Boys will make a point of attending.

Personal Notes
£. J. H. Kirby (1914-16) has been promoted to Lieutenant (E.) in the Royal Navy. He is at present serving on H..M.S. Sandhurst at Malta.
D. T. Jones (1918-24) is home on leave from his work in Persia lor the Anglo-Persian Oil Co.
Frank E. Taylor (1920-25) writes from Campbellford, Ontario, that he expects to be in Dover at Christmas.
S. T. Newing (1919-26) has been appointed by the Geo" physical Survey Research Committee as Resparch Assistant to Prof. A. O. Rankine, to undertake research into geophysical methods of investigating underground structure.

Old Pharosians' Cricket Club.

    The first half of this season has not been very successful, the 1st Team being denied victory until 6th July, when the Dover C.C. were beaten by a small margin. The Old Boys batted first, on a soft wicket, and five wickets were down for 25 runs, when a storm caused a stoppage; later in the afternoon another wicket was prepared and the score was carried to 88, thanks to B. Hicks and D. Simmonds. All seemed lost when the Dover total stood at 63 for 3 wickets, but the team rose to the occasion and Dover's last wicket fell at 82.
The" A " team has been more successful, and A. Muttett, E. Farley, F. Taylor, L. Packer, and L. F. Bromley have been doing well. Muttett has, of late, played for the 1st team, and his bowling- has been very useful.

HOUSE NOTES.
Buckland House.

    In recent years we have done well at the Athletic Sports; this vear we failed badlv. Possibly this failure was due to overconfi"dence primarily, and secondiy to lack of training, there being very sparse attendances on the organised training days. These faults should be remedied next year. Peyton was an exception. His fine running gained him the Senior Championship for the second year in succession.
Cricket this season has been a series of ups and downs for us. We were overwhelmed in the first match, but consistent practice, together with the strong support of School players, has enabled the House 1st XI. to perform well in later matches. The second team has put up some poor performances; at the present time they have, on several occasions, failed to reach a. total of twenty; members of this team should try to cultivate scoring strokes at the nets, and not rely on mere slogging.
The Swimming Sports have yet to take place; with a fair number of swimmers we should not do badly.
The East Cup matches occur late in the term. Enthusiasm has been shown only by about a dozen boys. Fortunately these are regularly attending net practice, and look like making a good show in the competition.
During the past year the House has been content to rely on the efforts of a few individual boys. In the future even' boy should do something for the House'. Only in this way may we hope to win the House Shield. The future is assured under the capable captaincy of CastJe, and I can only give my best wishes for success.
J.M.D.

Country House.

    The Summer Term is always an active one. Chiefly owing to the all-round consistency of the 2nd XI. we are still, as always, top in Cricket. Judging by the keenness shown among the junior members we should stand a healthy chance of again winning the East Cup. We were extremely gratified by the sum total of points amassed by our House on Sports Day, a most decided improvement upon last year's results, and all those who gave of their best, irrespective of the results, have due reason to be somewhat proud. There is, however, a long long way to go yet. One sport we revel in, and in it we are still champions at incompetence (although the honour may soon be wrested from us). Look to it then, ye fishes, that next year shall find us champions of all swimming activities.
Reverting to the serious side of things, we look back upon the last few years and see how (despite the efforts of a select band) the tide of our competence has ebbed, till almost low tide was reached. There is nothing more dangerous in life than resting on one's laurels, for laurels are but temporary things which come and go in a day. Lately, however, we have seen an occasional glimmer of light in the void, symbolising the renaissance of that spirit which made the Country House " lord of all it surveyed" for seven years.
At present one must admit we have no outstanding individual ability and consequently. if we wish for success, it can only come as a result of a wholesale co-operative effort-every member should feel it his bounden duty to give of his best at all times and in all possible ways when called upon, to give just a little in return for the invaluable amount received. It is the effort that makes the man, not the result; and if at the end of your School career you can justly say: " I have given of my best," it matters not whether your House is top or bottom; you have done your job. Therefore, Greens, make the new School year a memorable one in that you all do your utmost to bring the House back to its old position of glory, and back up your House Master and Captain who serve you so well; and in conclusion, good-bye, and the very best of luck.
H.A.S. S.D.

—:—

Maxton House.

    The Reds have had a distinctly more successful term than has previously been the case. Everyone did all that was asked of him at the Sports Day, so that the results obtained surpassed even our highest expectations. \Ve performed materiall.\~ better than last year in the Drill Competition. rising from the bottom rung to second place. These two events proved excellent examples that .Maxton House must still be considered as a competitor in School activities, and it should be the ambition of every member to prove that although the Reds are seriously lacking numerically-a drawback that will be a severe hindrance in our future efforts to gain the coveted Shield-they are not lacking in enthusiasm and readiness to do their best.
The cricket matches played this term have furnished better results than those obtained at football. The 1st XI. has played well, but although it cannot be said that we excel in batting, the bowling often reaches quite a high standard. The -match with Town was marred bv the unfortunate accident to Harrow, but everyone has been gTeatly relieved to learn that he is now well on the path to recovery. The 2nd XI. has been moderately successful, and Schroder has given great promise as a bowler.
    In conclusion, I would wish my successor and the House in general every success in the future.
B.W.T.

Town House.

    My first duty on behalf of the House is to wish Anderson everv success m hIS future career.
The term was started well by our Drill Team winning their competition.
I congratulate all athletes on their good show on Sports Day, especially Johnson, Goodfellow, Claw, Godfrey, Gibbs and Kirton.
At cricket we have not been very successful, the 2nd XI. having won only one game and drawn another; while the 1st ~I. have been little better off, having won two games out of the four played. Claw and Goodfellow are to be congratulated on their Sl1ccess as an opening pair.
\\'c all hope that HJrruw, who had a serious accident whilst playing against us, will make a speedy recovery.
N.A.L.

SCHOOL CRICKET.

    The season as a whole has been an interesting and successful one, as the appended results will indicate. Batting and bowling have been of a high standard, and it is extremely gratifying to record that two centuries have been scored in one season-a hitherto unparalleled achievement. The same praise cannot be meted out to the tielding, which has lacked finish.
The annual Parents v. Boys match, not favoured by the best of weather, proved to be an overwhelming success for youth, although several members of the Parents' team showed that age had not impaired sight.
The 2nd XI., subjected to many changes, has also acquitted itself well, except that the fielding is deplorably weak.
The Junior ~I. games, though few, have produced some talent, but it behoves all junior members to take full ad\'antage of the opportunities offered for practice at the nets, as many members of the present 1st and 2nd ~I.'s are leaving this term, and their places must be tilled.

THE SCHOOL SPORTS.

    On the 29th May, the Annual Athletic Sports were held at
Crabble. The morning had not been promising, and a keen
wind was blowing in the afternoon, but conditions improved
during the day, and the Sports were once more held in line
weather. There was a very good attendance of parents and
friends, and the Band of H.M. 1st Bn. The Lincolnshire Regi-
ment, by kind permission of the Officer Commanding, rendered
an excellent programme.
The eve its were extremely keenly contested, the standard
maintained in each being very high. The contest was very
close throughout the whole afternoon, and Maxton, who won even-
tually, mainly through the line performance of its Younger mem-
bers, got 139 points. Town came second with “i, Buckland
third with 84, and Country fourth with 82 points.
The Senior Championship was won by Peyton, who put up
a line performance, especially in the 880 Open. E. Bennett won
the Junior Championship. Stanway did very well in the
Hurdles, the Senior Long Jump, and Throwing the Cricket Ball;
while Davis ran splendidly in winning the Mile. A remarkable
feature of the Sports was the ties in the High Jump—R. Scott,
H. Baker and Goodfellow all reaching ~ ft. ol ins, in the Open,
Over 14, Jump; and Gutsell and Mathison tying in the 14—15
Section.
The prizes were presented at the end of the afternoon by the
Mayoress (Mrs. Russell), who was given a hearty vote of thanks
on the motion of the Rev. A. T. Slater. A new cnp, the ‘~ Gain-
brill” Cup, presented by E. Gambrill, Esq., for the winner of
the 88o Yards Open, over 14, was won for the first time by
R. Peyton. In every respect the Sports Day was one of the
very best on record.

The weather on Sports Day was exceedingly propitious, and a large number of parents and friends assembled to see the swimilling, Town held the lead all through the Sports by the numbers and superiority of their swimmers, among whom Keefe, Dellbridge, and Goodfellow deserve special mention.
Sharp, of Buckland, was also very successful, winning four races in his class (14-16),
In the Diving Competition, Constable set up a record for the School, by plunging 46 ft. 6 in.
The Headmaster made a short speech, congratulating the School on having the Mayor and Mayoress to present the prizes; he also expressed our appreciation of J'dr. Constable's work in connection with the swimming. NIl'. Langley proposed a vote of thanks to the Mayoress for presenting the awards. This was carried with three cheers, and speeches in response by the Mayoress and Mayor brought an enjoyable meeting to a close.
. It is hoped that the increased interest in swimming will contlllue till e,'ery boy in the School is at least able to swim a length, thus gaining a point for his House.

DRAMATIC SOCIETY.

    The Society is now divided into two sections, which have
met on alternate Mondays. At the beginning of term, the first
section held one or two readings of “Campbell of Kilhmor,” the
Scottish atmosphere and plot being well enjoyed, in spite of the
rather futile efforts to master the dialect I The second section
read over portions of “The Knight of the Burning Pestle.”
Towards the end of term our efforts were directed to the
Speech Day programme. To this end, work has been commenced
on “The Poetasters of Ispahan,” a modern play with an
“Arabian Nights” setting. It is hoped to produce this in
November, and already the fine humour and exquisite verse
have been much appreciated.
F.M.

“THE PHAROS” MECCANO CLUB.

    A Meccano Club has been formed, and a preliminary meeting
was held on 21st June, when a Committee was appointed. The
Committee proposes a syllabus of lectures, visits to local works,
model-building, etc., commencing at the beginning of next term.
Membership is open to all past and present students of the Dover
County School for Boys, and the subscription is is. 6d. per term,
paid at the beginning of the term, or 2d. per week payable on
Club nights. The subscriptions will procure a large Meccano’
set for the Club itself. Meetings will be held every Tuesday.

LIBRARY NOTES.

    The work of the School Library has entered upon a new
phase. With a view to increasing its usefulness, a Committee
has been formed to help the Librarian in the choice of books.
Its members include Mr. Tomlinson, Mr. Pearce, Mr. Willis,
Moseling (VI. Arts) and Martin (VI. Science). The first meeting
was held on 2nd July and various helpful suggestions are to
be put into practice, which should result in closer co-operation
between users of the Library and those responsible for its
management.
The stock of books is now increasing considerably, but their
intellectual value can be appreciated only by mental contact
following, a proper method of approach~ As an intellectual
force in School life the Library must take and hold a prominent
position. Neglect of the opportunities it offers will be a serious
drawback to any boy, both now and later in life. A lively
interest on the part of every member of the School is most
desirable, and we are glad to see signs that the importance of the
right use of books is being recognised. There can be little
excuse now for any boy not acquiring the habit of good and
healthy reading.
We gratefully acknowledge the gift of the following books
from Mrs. Fea
De Quincey’s Works (i6 volumes).
Raleigh “—Edmund Gosse.
“Raleigh “—J. A. St. John.
“Raleigh “—L. Creighton.
Richard Steele “—Austin Dobson.
Ben Jonson “—J. A. Symonds.
“Shaftesbury “—H. D. Traill.
William 111.—H. D. Traill.
‘Macaulav “—A. S. G. Canning.
" Lord Beaconsfield "-Lewis Apjohn.
" Johnson "-L. Stephen.
" Sir John Eliot "-Forster.
" Cesar "- J. Froude.
" Spenser "-R. Church.
" Bacon "-E. Church.
" Hawthorne "-H. James.
" C;eorge Eliot "-J\1. BJind.
" Hamilton "- J. Veitch.
" Philip Massinger " (Plays).
" Thomas Dekker "-(Plays).
" England under GladstoI1.c "-Justin .:\1cCarthy.
" \Vealth of Nations "--",dam Smith.
" Clash of Colour "-Basil .:\Iathews
and
Spanish Dictionary-given by Mrs. Patterson.
A further parcel of books (chiefly works of fiction for the
general Library) was kindly presented by Mrs. Patterson.
Such donations are splendid examples of kindly interest and
helpful generosity, and we trust they will be followed by other
donors, so that the Library may be made worthy of the School
and its high purpose.
In conclusion, I must not omit mention of the valuable
assistance of A. J. Kennett, whose services have recently
received recognition in his appointment to the post of Library
Prefect. We are also grateful for the help and vigilance of
Bird in the Science Section.

1st CADET COMPANY C.P. (F.) R.E.

    August will soon be here, and every member of tbe Corps
is looking forward expectantly to Camp. The enthusiasm is
demonstrated by the record length of the Camp list, and the
fact that all those who are going are attending for a fortnight.
It is to be noted that this enthusiasm extends to the members
of the Training Section. This is an excellent sign, as Camp
will help forward their training, which will make them, as some
day they must be, the backbone of the Corps.
We are all confident that Camp 1929, like its predecessors,
will be very successful; every member of the Corps who has
experienced Camp life knows what countless details go to make
this adjective applicable
Despite the many counter-attractions which prevail during
the Summer Term, parades have been well attended. Much
good work has been done in preparation for Camp, and for the
Lucas Tooth Competition, in which we again hope to be success-
ful. At the weekly Company parades we have concentrated
on various movements in squad drill ; the improvements in these
particulars being reflected in increased efficienc~: in both Company
and Platoon Drill.
We were interested to learn that at the annual camp of the
Cambridge University O.T.C., the cup for the Chart and Compass
Competition was won by a section of four which included two
former Quartermasters of our Corps in 2nd-Lient. D. G. A.
Sanders and Officer-Cadet C. G. Jarrett.
Congratulations to the following on their promotion

A person recently claimed the title of "\Vorld's Champion Stowaway." Judging by their achievements on Sports Day, some of our juniors could give him a few ic,,'-creams start.

During the term a man stayed under water, at Dover, for over 52 minutes. The beginner. attempting to s,,"im his tlrst length, is apt to scoff at this!

VIIL-Dental Surgery.

    Of the present day professions, Dental Surgery is about the only one which is not over-crowded. In fact, there is a great demand for the services of a dental surgeon, for, since I923, only men who have passed the examination for the LD.S. or B.D.S. are allowed by law to practise. Another important point is that the general public is beginning to realise the importance of sound teeth; and the only way of keeping sound teeth in these days of wrong feeding is to consult the dentist regularly.
Dental Surgery to-day is a very important branch of l\Iedicine and Surgery, and the position in the community of the Dental Surgeon is now similar to that of the Doctor.
The work is exacting but exceedingly interesting and, at the same time, remunerative. There is the great advantage that the- dentist's hours are regular-usually from 9.30 a.m. to 5.30 or 6.0 p.m. ; very rarely is one called up in the middle of the night, as is the medical man.
In order to practise Dental Surgery, one must obtain the Licence in Dental Surgery of the Royal College of Surgeons, -LD.S., Rc.S. The course for this is of just over four years' duration.
Before commencing this course, the student must have passed an examination in General Education, such as the Oxford and Cambridge School Leaving Certificate. After this he must pass the Pre-:.\fedical Examination in Chemistry and Physics.
He can be exempted from this by passing Inter-Science or Higher Schools.
Having done this, he starts his training in Dentistry. There are two ways of starting: (I) by being articled to a local qualified man for two years, in which case he only do~s one year of Dental .Mechanics at hospital; or (2) by going straight to a Dental School.
I strongly advise anyone taking up Dentistry to take this latter
course. It takes a year longer by going to the local man, and the fonner way is very rarely satisfactory.
As regards the choice of Dental Schools, it is advisable to go to one which is attached to a general hospital, such as Guy's. I give here a summary of the curriculum of the four years' course at Guy's Hospital:
1st l°ear.-Entry in September. The subjects are Dental Mechanics, Anatomy-including dissecting, Physiology, and General Histology.
The examination in Anatomy and Physiology is taken in September-a year after entry.
211d Year.-A course in Dental Mechanics and Dental Metallurgy.
The examinations for these subjects are taken in February and September.
yd Year.-General Surgery, General Pathology, Dental Anatomy, Dental Histology, Phantom Head (1st Term), Surgical Out-Patients, wiLh General vVork in Conservation Room, General Medicinc, and Bacteriology.
4th Y ear.- This year is taken up in purely dental subjects, and the final examinations are held in November.
Every three months during the 3rd and 4th years, the student holds various appointments, and has the opportunity of being an assistant House Surgeon before qualifying and a House Surgeon after qualifying.
The following may be taken as a fair estimate of the fees
L
School Tuition Fees at £70 per annum 280
Books and Instruments .. .. 70
Examination Fees .. .. .. 21
Club’s Union Subscriptions .. 21
£392


Living expenses depend, of course, on the individual student,
but £150 a year is ample for board, lodgings and pocket money.
Many men take the double course of dentistry and medicine
and surgery, and it is possible for one to do this in seven years.
One has a j oily good time at hospital-—there is plenty of time
for sport, and one meets the best of fellows.
In conclusion, if you are looking for a good profession with good prospects, dental surgery is as good as anything there is. JOHN BUNYAN (1918-25).

INTER-CADET UNIT CROSS-COUNTRY RACE.

Chingford, 1929.
Boat Race Day and Chingford! Would the first period never end:' How could the team chosen to represent the Cadet Company in the Inter-Cadet Cross-Country Championship concentrate on errors of examination papers \'/hen all thoughts were of the possibilities of a fine day and of the probabilities of success? A very quiet little party proceeded at last to the Priory Station, armed v,ith a plentiful supply of literature ranging from Modem Poetry-the choice of a science boy-to the Autocar purchased by a future member of VI. Arts. Eventually the train arrived and we tried to settle down to the journey to London; but what consternation when, on leaving Ashford, someone discovered that Davis was occupying seat No. 13, and oh what joy for the mathematically minded when Peyton, seated opposite to him, was also found to be using a seat of the same number! And why should a boy to whom nose bleeding was a thing unknown, suddenly have to borrow handkerchiefs to stem the crimson tide?
Lunch at noon came as a great relief and lasted until we arrived at Charing Cross. Was it a good omen that immediately we reached the Strand we hea,d that Cambridge had won their race? After breathing the air of the Downs during our training, the atmosphere of the City was almost unbearable. and the crowding of the suburban train to Chingford made many resolve that their future profession would be such as to make them avoid the fret and fever of a City man's life.
vVe were the first to arrive at headquarters, and a period of restless inactivity folluwed. The veterans inspected the first part of the course, and declared it in fine condition compared with the previous year's state; whilst those new to it wondered vaguely how it was possible to find the way through such a forest. The arrival of other teams, with caps weird and wonderful, caused a most peculiar inward feeling, and this developed when, in the dressing-room, these stalwarts stripped, were anointed with oil. and treated generally as supermen, great and glorious!
Our gloom increased, and one of our greatest hopes was a picture of absolute dejection.
But, with the order to move off, the atmosphere changed
perceptibly, and when the eleven teams lined up at the start, the one hundred and thirty odd cadets, on a sunlit heath, presented a striking picture of athletic youth. Which was the. greater ordeal-to run nearly five miles, or to wait patiently for someone to appear through the gap in the trees a quarter of
a mile away? At least the runners had the ach'antage of ha,'ing trained for their work!
After ten minutes, watches were consulted in the sure conviction that it was nearly time for someone to show up, and the remaining time passed in weary speculation. Even the local idea of football as played on neighbouring pitches failed to give relief. Suddenly we roused ourselves. A group of five had appeared running together. \\'ere an~v of ours in it? Anxiously we concentrated on the movements of the runners. Surelv we knew the stride of the leader. Had not we seen it at Crabble ? at Camp? Yes! YES! it was Peyton. \\'e immediately forgot our dignity and everything else, and rushed towards the rapidly approaching group with hoarse cries of "D()\'er ! DOVER! !" Alas! the leader sprinted and slipped, but the rest came on and an indescribable feeling arose when we disco,-ered the first three men wearing red and blue. The fifth man also belonged to us and almost unconsciously we settled down to watch the remainder return, and then back to tea, where our team distinguished itself b;.' the quantity of tea consumed. . The announcement of our team's success in being placed first and the presentation of the medals seemed all part of a glorious dream, but we were rudely awakened when we arrived .at Cannon Street and discovered that we had one hour to wait for a slow train. \\'hat luck!
We experienced a very sleepy journey home, enlivened occasionally by the incoherent murmurs of somnolent youth; but we revived our spirits temporarily to give a vociferous welcome to the few ardent spirits who awaited us.
The magnificent cup, presented b~v the Officers of the King's Royal Rifle Corps to the winning team, was received b~.' our cadets at the Annual Prize Distribution of the abow Corps. at the Guildhall, London, on Saturday. nth May. This excursion, made possible largely by the generosity of the Parents' Association, proved most enjoyable, not only because we received the trophy from the hands of Field-}Iarshal Lord .-il1enb,'. but also on account of the excellent programme of events prm'jded by our hosts, and we feel a deep debt of gratitude tu them for this afternoon's entertainment, and also for their energy and enthusiasm in promoting and so successfully carrying out what
is becoming the most interesting cadet competition of the year.
The detailed results were as follows ;

THE STORM.

A RARE EXPERIENCE.

    To be at School a full quarter of an hour before the bell is due’
to sound, is, to me, a delightful if not rare experience. Thus
to describe the School and its precincts at such an hour, would
be, on my part purely a work of imagination, were it not for
those two or three outstanding occasions when, through no fault
of my own, or of my companion, I have arrived at School at a
quarter to nine.
On the first of these occasions we were, not unnaturally.
dawdling, and as we neared the School gates we were struck
with the air of liveliness about the School. Boys who in less
than an hour’s time would be dormant, now hurried about,
chattering and shouting, or “swatting” up last week’s poetry.
Near the lives couxt the morning meeting of the Co-operative
Society was in full swing.
The main object of the boys coming up Frith Road seemed
to lie in getting through the gates and round the corner with
all speed possible. This is attributed to the fact that many
masters cycle to School.
I wandered along to the Junior Lobby. One could almost
call it a hive of industry, for in one corner six or seven boys
were chanting French repetition, whilst the opposition retaliated
with some poetry, sung as though it were a funeral dirge, which
one youth described as “Awful stuff about graveyards and
things.”
Others, more energetic, were doing their daily physical
exercises, as urged by one of the masters. Some we had already
seen performing on and around the old gun in the fives court.
These youths in the lobby were exercising on the hot water
pipes and seats. Their liberty, alas I was soon curtailed by a
cry of “I say, you fellows, keep quiet there I from a Prefect.
The latter was one of a stalwart band detailed, and sometimes
not without success, to keep order.
On a notice board in the corridor I found a map of Dover,
and on this a circle was drawn. I learned that boys within this
limit must walk to School (or run, as I do). This represented
the mile limit; well, it seems like two when one is late. Next
I climbed the heights to the top playground: here all kinds of
activities were in progress. Some played football with a stone,
others fought amongst themselves, but the dignified ones
sauntered majestically round discussing the merits of 1)odson
in the “ Senior T.T. “ or Chapmaii in the Tust.
Wandering over to the bank, I sat down. After a few
minutes I heard a clanging and someone shouted “ Bell “
So that’s what the school bell sounds like. It is nice to know
that, anyhow”
S. I’d. SOUThEY (Form IVA.).

THE CAMP COOK.

THE CALL OF THE ROAD.

    I must go out on the road again, to the dusty road and the sky,
And all I ask is a caravan, with the sun to guide her by,
And the birds’ song, and the wheels’ crunch, and the hounds’
faint baying,
And the long whitb road before me, and the fir trees swaying.
I must go out on the road again, for the call of the verdant
downs
Is a wild call and <I clear call that can never be heard in towns,
And all I ask is a sunny day and the green grass waving,
And the gay flowers, and the hedgerows, and the brown ants
slaving.

I must go out on the road again, and rest among the pines, Where the thrushes sing, and the squirrels climb, and where the creeper twines,
And all I ask is a quiet sleep, with the soft wind blowing,
- With the tall trees protecting me, where the stream is flowing.

THEN AND NOW.

JUNIOR SCHOOL NOTES.

    Summer Term at Ladywell always passes too quickly. The delights of playing-field and swimming bath, and the comfort of the building itself-it is really quite comfortable in summertend to make us regret the rapidly passing weeks. This term our regrets are intensified by the thought that the Junior School ceases to live entirely at the Technical Institute on 24th July. We hope, however, to unite on the playing-fields at least twice weekly, there to learn those lessons which are of such great value throughout life.
We have played several cricket matches and have done well, the outstanding performance being a first wicket stand by Crush and Collins yielding 84. Our bowlers, too, have been very successful. As many as seventy boys have been to the swimming bath on Thursdays, and we have many promising young swimmers who should reflect credit on their Houses in the very near future.
On 25th June an Elocution Competition was held at the Senior School. Mrs. Ethel Clout kindly acted as adjudicator, and gave us the benefit of her experience. The School is grateful to her for her kindness, and to Miss Rookwood for organising the competition. The result was as follows:
Class I. I, L Watt; 2, Hayden.
Class II. I, Delahaye and Weir; 2, Barling.
Class III. I, Hopkins; 2, Donald and Skinner.
Class Iv. I, Curry; 2, McPherson.
Our invalids, Harman and Kelly, are making good progress. We wish them a speedy restoration to health and hope to have them with us again ere long.
Crouch has left us, on transfer of his parents to Bedford. We hope he will do well at " Bedford Modern." Anderson-to Peterborough-has our best wishes.
