Pharos No. 64 July 1930

The eleventh Annual General Meeting of the Association was.
held at the School, on 24th April last, and a list of Officers and Committee is to be found on the back cover of this Magazine.
The reports of the Treasurer and Secretary were very satisfactory. Although our bank balance was only lOS, Id., we had a sto~k of blazer badges and ties valued at £14. The membership for the year stood at 122, and it is hoped to improve upon these figures for the coming year.
Some 37 members failed to renew their subscriptions for last year, and in view of the fact that the Pharos is sent out on the previous year's figures, and that each copy costs gd. (and there are three issues), it will be appreciated if members who are desirous of discontinuing membership will notify the Secretary at the commencement of the Association Year, 1st April. I regret that although I wrote to these 37 in May last, only two replies have as yet been received.
The Social programme for the coming winter season is to be found elsewhere, and Old Boys are requested to give their support to as many of these events as possible and to bring along their friends. Tickets for the Prize Giving, on 14th November, may be had on application to the Secretary.
The Annual Dinner has been fixed for Saturday, 15th November, and members are particularly asked to reserve the date for this important event. Tickets will not exceed 3S. 6d. per head, and an excellent musical programme will be provided. To those who have not yet attended one of our Dinners, I should lik.e to say that it is entirely informal: you wear what you like and can rest assure~ of spending a rea.lly jovial evening. Come and meet old School chums and talk over old times.
There are still numerous subscriptions to be renewed, and I trust that these will now be sent along with as little delay as possible.
Blazer Badges, in gold and silver wire, and Ties can be obtained from the Secretary, price 7s. and 3S. each respectively.
The following news of Old Boys has come to hand :F. Brown is with the Union Steamship Company at Wellington, N .Z.

The Editor will be glad at any time to receive news of Old Boys, either direct or through' the Secretary of the O.B.A.
. G. E. HARROW (Hon. Sec.).

The Old Boys, despite a small membership and consequent iinancial difficulties, are again fielding two sides this season, and are continuing to give a good account of themselves, particularly the second team, which has won more games than ever before.
The first team, captained this year by R. O. Bond (an" Old Boy" indeed, for he was at the School over twenty years ago), have won four and lost four of their games, two being left drawn.
The side, as usual, is fairly strong in batting, and the addition {)f a really good change bowler or two would make it into a formidable combination.
Useful additions from the second team and from those leaving the School have joined the side this season, but one regrets to see that one or two returning to Dover for holidays, prefer to assist Clubs against which we have to play. .
We frequently hear from Old Boys who ask for a game when back in Dover, and rarely do they fail to get it. We invite those who will be leaving school shortly to do the same.

At the Athletic Sports in 1929 Buckland House sadly disappointed, and only just managed to escape bottom place in the final table. But this year, with much less reason to feel overconfident, we let! the other Houses from the start, and finished a good first-a really excellent performance. In addition, the House supplied both Senior and Junior Champions. The Victor Ludorum, for the third year in succession, was R. Peyton, whom we all wish to congratulate on his record; the Junior Trophy was gained by W. S. Borthwick. On a record-breaking day, members of Buckland House had the satisfaction of setting up new times for four events. Our apparent weakness was the I4-15 class, though, with two runners such as Pearce and Slater, who show great promise at the longer distances, there appears to be little cause for anxiety about the future.
Both the football and cricket teams this year have been built round a strong foundation of Scoool players; but whereas the football team failed to fit in well together and performed rather ,unsatisfactorily, at cricket, where combination is not of such prime importance, all the five games which have been played up to the present have been won. It is true that we were perhaps a trifle lucky in the first match against Maxton, which we won by one run after an exciting conclusion. The outstanding player has been Paterson, who has bowled remarkably well, with a total to date of 30 wickets in 5 innings for an average of just over 3 runs apiece. The batting has been scrappy, several players doing well at times, but nobody being very consistent; few have displayed the same form when batting in House matches as when batting in School games.
Two wins in five games is the record of the 2nd XL, though one or two games have been lost by very narrow margins. This team contains a number of promising players, who should do well in the 1st XI. in the future. Sharp, despite a large percentage of loose balls, has performed notably on several occasions, and Cadman also bowls a very good ball. Madams has been prominent at batting, his hard hitting being extraordinarily successful. As is perhaps only to be expected in matches of this class, the fielding has at times been poor. If only as much keenness were tlisplayed in this department of the game as at batting and bowling, this fault might be easily remedied.
At the Swimming Sports, Town House, as was expected, almost walked away in the struggle for points. Buckland was a good second, though, chief credit being due to Sharp, whose proficiency in the water increases by leaps and bounds with each succeeding year, and in a lesser degree to Constable, who ably backed up Sharp's efforts. It was most disappointing, however, that it should have been left to these two boys to gain nearly all the points that the House obtained. Our percentage of swimmers is still not high enough, and it is the duty of every boy in the Middle and Junior School to learn to swim at least a length as soon as possible.
At present no East Cup games have been played. Considerable keenness is being displayed by you~er members of the House in turning up to net practice, but it is doubtful whether we shall be able to field a team as strong as those of recent years. There are but few of last year's team still available, so that the House will be represented by practically an inexperienced Eleven. Still, we should not do too badly.
For the past two years the House has performed well in the House Championship contest, and next year, under the captaincy of Paterson, should continue to do so. A notable absentee, however, will be Peyton, for so long the outstanding figure in School Athletics and Cadet activities, who vacates a position it will be impossible for anybody else in the House to fill-at least for some years. Brown will also be leaving, and his ability on the cricket field will undoubtedly be missed. The spirit displayed by the House during the past few years has been exceedingly.
good, but too much reliance should not be placed on tried players.
They are apt to be off-form at times, and reserves who can fill a vacancy when required are ju'st as essential to the House as the fewer boys of outstanding ability.
M.C.

First of all I should like to wish Moseling, who goes to Goldsmiths' College, and Kingsford every success in their future careers. .
Although once again we occupied the lowest position on Sports Day, I am glad to say that there is a decided improvement in the attitude of our House towards Athletics. In this respect the efforts of the younger members call for special mention. Our congratulations are of course due to Buckland for their performance on Sports Day.
In cricket, the 1st XI. have not been very successful, and our present position of runners-up to Buckland is entirely due to the 2nd XI., who so far have won all their matches. The fielding of the 1st XI. has been poor, and another bowler is badly needed; however. the 2nd XI. results promise much brighter cricket seasons for our House.
At the time of writing, the East Cup competition has not been played, but although not able to field our strongest team this year, I still have hopes that we shall retain the Cup for another season at least.
Although we cannot expect to gain a high position in swimming at present, our complete failure in the Swimming Sports was chiefly due to the deplorable lack of enthusiasm on the part of nearly all members of the House. However, it is noticed that many are attempting to gain at least one point for their House by swimming a length, so let us hope that the spirit prompting this may develop.
In conclusion, I wish Hopkins the best of luck as the next House Captain, and sincerely hope that he will be given all possible support.
R.F.S.

We are rapidly approaching the end of the term. Town and Buckland are now fighting for the Shield, while we are next on ~he list. We must be content with saying that we have put up a good show.
The outstanding feature of this term was the Athletic Sports.
Maxton did very well, coming second. Everyone tried so hard, and many did so well that it would be wrong to mention any names. In the more junior races Maxton was by far the strongest House. If all our Juniors stick to the sports field and the track, then the future of Maxton is going to be a bright one. One more point about running: with few exceptions, the more senior members of the House did not put in half enough time training.
I hope there will be an improvement in this matter next year. The cricket for this season has been fairly satisfactory. In the first XI. Profitt and Salmon have bowled well in every match,. but they have not always been properly supported by the fielding.
Even if a boy has not a natural ability to stop a rapidly travelling ball, he can always do his best-even when it looks hopeless.
The second XI. have obtained some good scores, but most of them do not trouble to consider whether a ball should be hit hard or merely blocked.
We must congratulate Town on their wonderful performance at the Swimming Sports. Maxton, again, has several younger members, notably Taylor, who show great promise.
However, I must say Adios, and wish the Maxton House and its new Captain every success in the coming year.
K.W.D.

The best wishes of the House go to W. E. Johnson, who left us in such a good position at the end of the football season, and who has rendered good service to the House for several years.
On Sports Day, the House gained third place, being 34 points behind the leaders. Although this was a fairly good performance, we hope to do better next year, as there is quite a large number of enthusiastic runners in the House. Goodfellow is to be especially congratulated on his successes, while R. F. Johnson, Cornwell and Thompson also performed well.
Our good reputation was kept up in the Swimming Sports, as we gained more than half the points. Dellbridge, Goodfellow, Jefiery, Pamplin, Dargan, and Helier swam well, and were responsible for most of our 106 points. Congratulations to the first named on gaining the Swimming Championship. Another gratifying feature of the swimming is that over 75 members of the House can swim at least one length.
The results of the cricket matches this season are very disappointing. The 1st XI. have won two matches out of five;
while the 2nd XI. have only won one out of five. Thus, although we are not by any means the weakest House at cricket, we are at the bottom of the House cricket table. Both 1st XI. games against Country were won by over 60 runs, but the others were decisively lost. This is due to lack of style and confidence among the later members of the side, who throw their wickets away by making rash strokes at good balls. Thus, when the first four batsmen are out, there is no one else to be relied upon for runs.
The failure of the 2nd XI. is chiefly due to indifferent fielding, which fault, I am pleased to see, was rectified in the last match, against Country. H. E. Castle and Thompson have proved useful all-rounders in the 1st XI. ; while Jackson and Sales have been consistent helpers in the 2nd XI. Our prospects for the East Cup matches are quite bright, and enthusiasm is certainly not lacking among the smaller members of the House, as is shown by the fact that 34 boys have given in their names for a trial.
Finally the outlook for the next football season is very good, as nearly all the members of last year's team are available.
M.E.W.

The School has experienced a most successful season, the 1st XI. having won eight out of twelve games, and the 2nd XI.
nine out of ten-a very creditable record. In addition to this, the 3rd XI. has won four out of seven games, which is quite satisfactory.
The success of the 1st XI. lies mainly in its all-round strength;
most of the team can bowl, whilst every member is capable of making a good score. In batting, the first four batsmen have all exceeded 50, and the others have made runs when they were needed. The bowling needs more variety, however, there being too many of one type and not enough spin bowlers. The fielding has not been satisfactory, far too many catches being dropped, and the ground fielding at times has been bad. At present not enough attention is paid to this important branch of the game. The annual match with the Parents again resulted in a win for the School; but on this occasion a strong Parents' team put up a much better fight than in previous years. Despite somewhat unpleasant conditions, there was quite a good attendance.
As at football, the 2nd XI. has met with great success, winning all but the last game of the season. This is mainly due to the " hitters" of the team, Rhodes, Scott and Baker having done consistently well. The bowling has been reliable, and Hogben narrowly missed taking fifty wickets, an excellent performance.
The Under IS and Under 14 XL's have clone satisfactorily.
Collins, Andrews, and Vosper have all batted well, and Slator, Vosper and Castle have bowled with success. On the whole, the fielding of the teams has been quite good, though never brilliant.

The School Annual Sports Day, 4th June, was one of records, made possible to some extent by the excellent running conditions.
Showers on previous days had kept the turf springy, while the fine, breezy weather was ideal for the runner.
Nevertheless, too much can be ascribed to conditions, and the effects of careful training forgotten. By a combination of the two, the seven following records were set up :440 Yards, Open.-R. P. Peyton. Time, 57 secs.
100 Yards, Open.-L. Goodfellow. Time, 104/5 secs.
880 Yards, Open.-R. P. Peyton. Time, 2 mins. II r/s secs.

The smoothness with which the School Swimming Sports are .carried out makes it quite difficult to pick out special events .each year.
The position of Town House as leaders at the conclusion of these events seems to have become quite established, 1922 being the last time they were not the winners. Curiously enough, Country House then won by a large margin. The reason for the reversal of these positions is far from obvious. To say that the members of Town House live nearer the sea does not seem to supply a full answer, since anyone who wishes to become a proficient swimmer generally finds time for practice on Thursdays or before breakfast each day. It therefore seems to be just a question of good fortune, that Town should have such a majority .of the School's best swimmers.
Of the races themselves, there is little to be said, except for two items. The first is the remarkably close finish in the twolengths Open Race, which J effery won. from Goodfellow by his quickness in touching the winning point. Constable's spect3;.cular plunge in the Diving Competition is his second and more memorable record in the event. Those who remember the display given by a team of Royal Marines, under Captain Shephard, some years ago, will agree that this record plunge of 57 feet 9 inches was quite as fine as that of the demonstrator.

The Dramatic Class had a very busy time during the first part of the term in preparing its experiment for the Bazaar.
Three one-act plays, written by members of the class, H. C.
Blackford, E. H. B. Martin, and L. C. Sparham, were submitted to the class as a whole for criticism or adaptation. This constructive stage of the work was most interesting. In turn the authors became producers, each with his own cast.
The authors and the members of their casts must be thanked for their careful work and congratulated on their success on 21st May. It is to be hoped that this success will encourage more work of this nature: any play submitted by anyone, whether a member of the .class or not, is assured the careful study of the class.

Activities this term were confined to practices for the Bazaar.
The concert programme was a well-balanced one, starting with the March from" Faust" (Gounod), followed by " Fly, Singing Bird "-a three-part treble chorus by Elgar, which was ably accompanied by the School Orchestra. Wainwright's" Rouse, Ye Comrades," was well rendered as a part-song for men's voices, despite the fact that heavy bass and high tenor voices are not plentiful in the School. Both choir and audience entered into the fun of " Don't tickle me, I pray," and the final chorus, " The Viking Song," went with a swing, which made it a fitting finale to a concert which was generally acclaimed as " up to standard." The Junior Concert was also much appreciated, and the enthusiasm of the Juniors for" Fiat Lux" seems to point to its adoption as the School Song in the near future.
We gratefully acknowledge the gift from L. F. Hopgood, who left us during the year, of records of Liszt's "Hungarian Rhapsody No. 2," and of the Overture to" Tannhauser" (Wagner).
Our activities will be resumed in the Autumn term, when we shall have to prepare our Prize Giving performaru::e.

J.K.T.,
pp. L. C. SPARHAM, Hon. Sec.

The progress made by the Club during the past year may well be judged by the part it played in connection with the School Organ Fund Bazaar.
We were very fortunate in securing, through the kindness of His Worship the Mayor, the Council Chamber for the Exhibition. Although this is quite a large room, it was easily filled with Meccano models and a Hornby railway.system, which provided' much interest for all, whether mechanically minded or not.
The members of the Club worked hard to make the Exhibition a success, but they were amply rewarded by the evident interest with which Lady Wake inspected the display. As a result of the Exhibition, the Organ Fund benefited by approximately £7.
Since the Bazaar the Club has been unable to make the proposed visits to local places of interest, owing to the School Sports and other activities taking up so much time; but it is hoped that at least two visits will be made before term ends.
It is interesting to note that a photograph of the members ,of the Club appeared in the June M eccano Magazine.
Preparations are now afoot for a greatly improved Autumn Term programme, and all those intending to join the Club next term should note that the subscription has been reduced to 1/per term, or 6d. per half term.
In conclusion, the Club desires to thank A. T. Bird for his services as Hon. Treasurer, and wishes him every success at Goldsmiths' College. L. H. R. Abbott is appointed Hon.
Treasurer in his stead.

Biology has now become one of the subjects in the Advanced Science Course of the VI. Form. The Naturalists' Club is its manifestation in the School life. It has been formed to promote interest, throughout the School, in the study of Nature. Membership is open to Forms IV., V., and VI., and a Junior Section has been formed for members of Forms Il. and Ill.
Considering the numerous activities of the Summer Term, the Society has made a very good start. Aquariums have been set up, but have not yet been properly stocked, owing to the diffi,culty of their maintenance during the summer holidays. The Club has had two rambles, both of which were well attended. The first was along the old Roman road to Pineham, where the flora and fauna were collected and studied. The second ramble covered River, and was mO'fe aquatic in interest; some junior members aspiring to become aquatic themselves. However, nobody succeeded in falling in.
During the winter term, when the outdoor work will be somewhat restricted, meetings will be held in the evenings, when lectures will be given on the more absorbing and less technical subjects of Biology. The Club is lucky in having access to six expensive and beautifully constructed microscopes, and so some microscope work can be carried out.
Biology is a rising subject, and it will soon be regarded as an essential part of every boy's education.

At the moment Stocktaking is in progress, preparatory to -the compilation of a new catalogue, a copy of which I propose to hang in the corridor for general reference. On examination many books have proved to be no longer serviceable: most of these will be replaced, and supplemented by other additions.
The VI. Form Section, particularly, is to be enlarged, and will include more works by living writers.
We very much appreciate a gift by E. Sharp (V.J.B.) of a number of school and adventure stories-all in good condition, and for which he has no further use. I commend this example to other boys who have suitable books they no longer require.
As our annual allowance will do little more than meet replacements, we are obliged to rely mainly on gifts to increase our stock. This appeal, I hope, will meet the eyes of those who can . afford to be generous and are willing to be helpful.

Showery weather and muddy ground at Chingford threatened a repetition of the 1928 conditions, well remembered in the history of the Corps. Though the weather kept fine during the race, underfoot the ground was very slippery, so that more than one runner had a fall, and one finished in his stockings, having lost his shoes. Since the race is won by the positions of the first six of the team of twelve, and our team lacked some of the outstanding runners of last year, such as Davis, we were less fortunate than before, obtaining the second place. The results of the team as a whole, however, were better, since nearly the whole of the team came in among the first half of a field one hundred and four strong.
Turning to the routine of the Corps, it is pleasing to note that attendances are increasing, the number of defaulters dwindling to only two or three each week. It is unfortunate that no allowance was made for field-days in the list of sports fixtures, but the Company has made up for lack of field operations by becoming more efficient in Company drills.
It is now common knowledge that, as affairs stand, Cadet Corps will cease at the end of October. This is, of course, regretted by all members of the Corps; but many hope that we shall continue our activities as an O.T.C., although even this state of affairs would not be without its difficulties, chiefly financial. However, one thing is certain, if the Corps has to go, it will go with flying colours; it is as efficient now as it ever has been.
Congratulations are due to Sit. johnson and Sit. Newman on obtaining Certificate" A," the marks of the latter being a record for the Corps.
Promotions this term have been fairlv numerous, as is shown by the following :- .

May 21st, 193°, will be remembered for many a year as one of the red~letter days in the history of the School. It saw the climax of a great co-operative effort by parents, staff and boys, and demonstrated in happy and vigorous fashion that we were ready and anxious to help ourselves. The K.E.C is making generous provision for educational work in Dover and the district, and the many friends of the School welcomed an opportunity to show their appreciation.
On that famous Wednesday morning the Town Hall hummed with activity. Carpenters, decorators, sign-writers, caterers, and stallholders, willing helpers by the score, bustled around the' stalls, while every few minutes some dignified arm of the law stalked (strangely incongruous) through the Maison Dieu Hall, on his way to the Court. Those who had opportunity to wander round the stalls saw what a wonderful collection had been made.
The Needlework Stalls showed a large and attractive display of garments, the Grocery department an amazing variety of dainties, the Hardware merchants and the Artist Craftsmen offered shelves of fascinating bargains; there were cakes, sweets, and flowers to appeal to various tastes. Toyland's success was.
a foregone conclusion; the Old Boys were worthily represented ;: while the Fisheries prepared for a great catch of eager buyers.
The crowd which thronged the hall in the afternoon exceeded all expectations. Everyone who was interested in the School appeared to be present, and it was most encouraging to find how many good friends we have. The Box Office was kept busy, and the red Bazaar handbook-a souvenir which we shall always.
value-appeared everywhere. Lady Wake charmed us all;
speaking as one having authority, she assured us that we deserved to succeed. She accepted with visible pleasure a dainty little Japanese garden-" a boy's bouquet," as the Head Master described it-and she obviously enjoyed the round of Kentish Fire and the singing of" Forty Years On." Then the Bazaar opened with a rush for the stalls. The Side Shows commenced quick business, the Meccano room rapidly filled, the queue at the Soothsayer's tent grew longer and longer, the Pharos Dance Band struck up a lively Fox Trot, and soon the Connaught Hall was the scene of an animated dance; while the Caterer and her Nippies served teas and ices' at breathless speed.
Then the singers and actors appeared, and those who were wise took good care not to miss either the concerts or the playsfirst rate performances as everyone agreed.
And all the time a very small group, far from the madding crowd, gathered round the Treasurer, and counted-countedcounted! Rumour said they left at midnight-exhausted.
But was not the result worth all the effort, worth the labours of the Working Parties, worth the weeks and months of planning, contriving and preparation?
Soon it was known that the sum of £355 had been paid into' the Organ Fund (already standing at £600), and that it haG become possible to build an organ worthy of the new School.
And now one last word as the Bazaar passes into history.
To all who helped, whether by making and giving, by buying and selling, by acting and singing, we offer our heartfelt thanks.
We look forward to the days when they will share our pleasure in the music of an instrument which will be at once a treasured possession and a lasting memorial of the generous help to which we are so greatly indebted.

The Head Master has accepted the Chairmanship of the Rent Education Committee's Examinations Committee. We <>ffer him our congratulations on this honour. His work as a member of the KE.C. and of several of its Sub-Committees is heavy, but his knowledge and experience of education cannot fail to be of value.

The School Charity Fund amounted, on 14th July, to £6 16s. 6d., making a total to that date of £32 for the School year.

A familiar figure has been missing to the School for some weeks past, as Miss Hopkins, our School Secretary, has transferred her services to the Divisional Education Offices in Castle Street.
We all wish her good luck and success in her new post. Meantime M. Castle and E. H. Baker have been doing yeoman service in carrying on the School secretarial work.

Congratulations to K W. Donald on gaining a Kitchener Scholarship.

Also to the five Junior School boys who obtained K.E.C.
Junior Exhibitions-see" Notes from Ladywell."

And, finally, to Town House for their keen and successful struggle for the House Shield.

Good articles received from G. Curry, A. McPherson, E. J.
EweJl, A. Meckiff, J. Y. Stapleton, G. Stourton, R Archibald, and others, are omitted this term through lack of space.

The end of Summer Term is ever a time for rejoicing, but at Ladywell there are many who have dared to express regret.
To them examinations belong to the dim and distant future, while the pleasures of playing-field, swimming bath, and seashore are more than compensation for the few not unpleasant weeks spent in School. Over sixty boys will be moving on to higher spheres, spheres of less ease and greater responsibility;
some have spent five years with us-we know them so well!
Their progress through the School, and beyond, will be watched with interest. May they follow worthily in the footsteps of their predecessors, and may their contribution to the age in which they live be such as to justify the efforts and sacrifice of those. parents and others. who have provided their education.
. Our aquarium has been a perpetual centre of the keenest interest throughout the term. The study of living things is surely one of the best approaches to a sound knowledge of the world in which we work and live.
Five of our boys, Blaxland, Donald, Hopper, A. Wilde, and Woodard, have secured Junior Exhibitions. To these we offer hearty congratulations. Four others succeeded in reaching the oral examination. No other school in the county wassofo:t:tunate, and we hope that those unsuccessful ones who are young enough to try again will have better luck next time.
The Junior School cricket team has won four out of five matches played-the results, together with a note of special performances, appear in the pages devoted to Games. At the Athletic, and also at the Swimming Sports, the Juniors did well, many representing their Houses in the relay races. Pressure on our space forbids mention of individuals; their names are to be found elsewhere.
And so we go on-and on !

Before I left the Dover County School I was lucky enough to obtain my Inter Science, and I strongly advise any Form VI. Science boy who is thinking of taking up this profession to .qualify thus far in his school days. Physics and Mathematics are the main subjects required, but an elementary knowledge of Geology is most helpful.
The Practical Geophysicist is a man who applies the methods of Physics in order to locate ores and minerals such as oil, coal, -etc., beneath the surface of the ground. For this purpose use is made of the fact that the physical properties of these substances differ in some way from those of the surrounding rocks. The differences which occur may be in the electrical, magnetic or elastic properties and, corresponding to each, there is a suitable physical method which may be used in order to locate the substance. It is not appropriate here to give a ,description of these physical methods, but to anyone who is interested in this work I would recommend the perusal of the following :" Geophysical Prospecting," by Pro£. A. S. Eve, F.RS.
-N ature, loth March, 1928.
" Physics in Relation to Oil Finding," by Prof. A. O.
Rankine, O.B.E., D.Sc.-Nature, 4th and nth May, 1929.
The task of the practical Geophysicist is by no means easy, and anyone who enters this profession must be prepared to work hard and to make great use of his mental powers. Problems .and difficulties are continually arising during the course of the work, and these must receive very careful attention involving the use of much original thinking;
To become a Practical Geophysicist a thorough university training in Physics and Mathematics is necessary, and a working knowledge of Geology is a tremendous asset. Unfortunately it is at few universities that a student can receive .simultaneou!sly training in all these sciences, and, in the past, most of the work in Practical Geophysics has been carried out by men who have been properly trained in either Physics or 'Geology alone. I would advise those who desire to take up geophysical work to arrange matters so that they receive a thorough training in Physics and Mathematics at a university, leading to a degree, and to obtain as much instruction in Geology as they are able. It is gratifying to know that some of the llniversities have realised the importance of this new science, and at the Imperial College, at London, a course of lectures ,on Practical Geophysics has already been delivered. A Chair of Geophysics is also being instituted, I believe, at Cambridge.
When the student has finished his course at the university he will probably find that the greatest scope for Geophysical work is furnished by the large oil companies. Some of these companies have scientific Advisory Boards, composed mainly of professors from the universities and the like, and it is an advantage if the application for a Geophysical post can be made through the medium of one of these advisors. My own appointment was due to the influence of a professor at the College who happened to be an Advisor to the Anglo-Persian Oil Co., in which I am now employed.
Practical Geophysics as applied to the elucidation of geological structures underground and the detection of ores, etc., is a comparatively new subject. The problems which are yet to be solved and the difficulties to be overcome are many, and a vast field of research is open to the man who takes up this science as a career. Being highly specialised, one would expect the rates of pay to be fairly good. A man fresh from the university can expect a minimum salary of about £450, rising by annual increments of at least £50. The amount varies, of course, with the different companies and depends also on the living conditions in that part of the world to which the man may be sent. In most of the companies the prospect of promotion is really good.
In South Persia, where the Anglo-Persian Oil Company holds a large concession, the climate for six months of the year is not very enticing, the shade temperature sometimes rising to 13° degrees F., or over. The Company, however, does its utmost to make life as pleasant as possible for its employees, and tl}e standard of health is remarkably high. The bungalows are well built and equipped with electric light and fans, and a good supply of ice is provided during the hot season. A very good idea of living conditions may be obtained from a book written by a man named Williamson, who spent some time out here as a Company guest. It is called, " In a Persian Oil Field," and is published by Benn, Ltd.
The Geophysicist in the winter spends most of bis time in camp, perhaps many miles from the existing oil-fields. In South Persia it is impossible to camp in the summer, so he then returns to the main oil-fields to work out his results and write.
his report. He may, occasionally, be engaged on some research work. On the other hand there is the chance of being sent to other parts of the world--even England itself-to carry on work there. This actually happened to me last year, when I spent eight very pleasant months in England and was able to pay a visit to the Old School.
During my stay in Persia I have found life on the whole quite agreeable. The social life is good and the facilities offered for sport are excellent. In the winter, games of all kinds are played with enthusiasm, while in the summer, tennis (in the cool of the evening), and swimming, are the chief pastimes. There are numerous tennis courts attached to various clubs, and the swimming bath-built by the Company is one of the finest I have ever seen. There is also a first-rate building, called the Central Hall, where we have occasional concerts, dances and picture shows. In the main Persian Oil-fields there are about 4°0 Europeans, and a man, arriving for the first time, cannot fail to perceive the wonderful spirit of comradeship which exists in this community.
At the present time I am spending twelve to fourteen hours a day in the field, as we are trying hard to complete the proposed programme of work for this season before the weather gets too hot. There is always plenty of work to do, but it is a wonderful life with plenty of fresh air and exercise and frequent changes of all kinds. So far as I am concerned the life is ideal, and I shall never regret leaving England to work abroad in the Oil-fields of Persia.
DONALD T. JONES (1918-1924).

I must go down to the Camp again, to the best camp under the sky;
And all I ask is a canteen tent, with plenty of tuck to buy;
With the" sickly squares" and the" VilT..tos," and plenty of sea to bathe in, Cricket and rugger and tent-feeds without any washing or shaving.

I must go down to the Camp again, for the call of the fish and chips .
Is a wild call and a clear call that makes me lick my lips;
And all I ask is the brilliant sun, that's hot enough to get browned in, And bathing parades (unlike last year), where it's deep enough to get drowned in.

I must go down to the Camp ag~in, to the wild and primitive life, To the Serjeaats' Mess, and the Cook's tent, where the odour is.

And all I 'ask is an Officer with a good M.O. to guide him, And a WaI11)l, snug tent, and a sleeping-bag, when tattoo's over,.

At D.c.S. we specialise In various types of BOY:
The spectacled and studious one Who finds in work pure joy, The jolly boy, the sporting lad, The tall, the fat, the thin, The jazz Band leader and-please noteThe Twin.

\Ve've nurtured four fine specimens, Perhaps I should say eight, (We hear two more, for Maxton House Are coming, if wc wait) :
There's G. and D., and G. and J., The names you'll all fit in, And F. and J., and P. and P., Each a twin.

We think it time the greater world Outside this learned sphere Should see our interesting setThat's why their photo's here.
They're just a group of British boys Who 're out to score a win;
Each has a special stroke of luckHe has a twin.

So here and now we offer them Sincere congratulation;
We hope each one will be in time Of service to the nation.
We give them our best wishes, too, As manhood just begins:
Salute them as the Wireless does, Hullo! Twins.

When I get up on Friday mornings I look out of the window to see if it is raining or not. Often it is not raining, although it [ is very cloudy. When I go to school I am induced by my parents l to take my mackintosh, as they are sure it will rain. During I morning lessons many hopeful looks are directed to the window l to see if.the clouds are rolling away. "I don't think I shall wear my.whites to-day, it may rain," say some of the boys: At last the dinner hour comes, and we go home to our dinner. I go home and look at a piece of seaweed which is hanging in the garden, although I do not put much faith in this weather prophet. In the afternoon it is still dull-in fact, the clouds.
seem darker than ever, and a gloom prevails in the form room.
Gradually the time goes by; now it is three o'clock, and we are waiting impatiently for the bell. At last it goes, and we hasten away to cricket in case our master comes in and says that there will be no play.

Some years ago I went with my father and mother to live in Madrid. We stayed there about seven months in all, and although I was very young at the time, there are many things which I remember very clearly. I remember the Pyrenees, with their high, jagged peaks and waterfalls, and I remember the Guadarrama mountains with their wonderful colours. From our home in Madrid I could see these mountains covered with snow, and once we went up them as far as the Escorial, which is a great monastery in which the kings of Spain are buried. My chief recollections of Madrid itself are blazing sun and brilliant colours. The buildings were mostly white against thedeep blue sky, and the trees are mostly dark green pines. The costumes of the people also were a brilliant blaze of colour.
Spain is rather a lawless country, and one day there were a lot of people killed in a riot in the street called the Alcala, near to where we lived. According to Spanish law, every passenger train must carry an escort of armed civil guards.
We finally came home through Hendaye, Paris and Havre.
