EDITORIAL.

    It is our first duty, and at the same time a great pleasure~
to congratulate the Head Master on receiving the Honorary
Freedom of the Borough of Dover—an honour conferred on
him by the Town Council in view of the eminent services he
has rendered to the Town. None will deny that this distinction
has been well deserved, and all who were privileged to be present
at the Town Hall on x4th July, when the Freedom was conferred,
felt that, through the personal services of the Head Master, the
School was being greatly honoured. We should like to include in
our congratulations Mr. H. J.Taylor, as a one-time member of the
School Staff, and Mr. W. S. Lee, Head Master of Dover College,
as well as Sir Hereward Wake and Alderman Russell, both of
whom have, at different times, taken an interest in County
School activities. We can express pleasure that the work of
education in its various branches in the Town has been so
generously recognised.

Mr. Whitehouse has also been co-opted on the Dover Market
and Museum Committee, thus adding another to his already
long list of public duties. On the subject of the Dover Museum,
we may note that the collection is being reorganized under the
new Curator, Mr. Fredc Knocker, and we acknowledge with
thanks the receipt of a copy of a revised catalogue. This reveals
the fact that there are many items of educational interest in
the Museum, which our readers would do well to visit as oppor-~
tunity occurs. Visits by School classes have already taken
place, and no doubt further expeditions for this purpose will
be organised as time goes on.

We shall regret to lose, at the end of this term, our Art
Master, Mr. E. Francis, who is retiring from the teaching pro-
fession after about sixteen years of service in this School. He
will be remembered by present boys as well as by many Old
Boys for his enthusiasm for and ability in his subject. His
help to more gifted pupils was not more notable than his sympathy
with the less gifted, many of whom developed an interest and
ability clearly shown in the periodical exhibitions of the School
Art XVork. We wish Mr. Francis many happy years of leisure
in retirement.

XVe hope to welcome, next term, as our new Art Master, Mr.
Charles Rowlands from Sidcot School, Winscombe, Somerset,
where he has held the post of Art Master since 1920. Mr.
Rowlands is an Old Boy of Sidcot School, and was trained in
Art at the Kensington School of Art, Bristol, and at University

College, London, holding the Art Class Teachers’ Certificate of
the Board of Education and the Slade Drawing Certificate of
London University. He has gained his County Colours for
Gloucestershire in Association Football, and has played in trial
games for that county at Cricket. His war service was with
the Egypt and Palestine Expeditionary Forces. As an all-round
sportsman, as well as an experienced and successful teacher of
his subject, we feel sure that Mr. Rowlands’ services will
prove of great value to our School, and we hope his stay with
us will be a long and pleasant one.

It is expected that the installation of the School Organ will be
completed during the Summer Vacation, so that its inauguration
will take place early next term. In our published list of events it
will be noted that we shall be honoured by having a recital by
Dr. Charlton Palmer, the Organist of Canterbury Cathedral, on
28th September, and that Mr. Willis is arranging a recital and
concert for the following Saturday. We hope that a large
audience will be present in the School Hall on each occasion.

PARENTS’ ASSOCIATION.

    The Executive Committee regret that owing to difficult cir-
cumstances last autumn and winter, they were unable to hold
any social activities.
We shall, however, hold two Socials (Dances, etc.) during the
coming season. We ask parents and friends to support us on
these occasions.
We extend otir hearty congratulations to Maxton House on
winning “Our Cup” at the Drill Display held during this term.
It is to be regretted that the weather was not favourable for
our cricket match, Parents v. Boys, on 4th May, but we are
hoping for “D.C.S. weather” on Saturday, 23rd July, when
victory may rest with us Parepts.
Our sincere congratulations are extended to those boys ,who
have achieved many successes during the past year, especially
to H. C. Blackford, on the award of a Lord Kitchener Scholar-
ship tenable at Cambridge.
We feel sure that all parents will join with us in sincere con-
gratulations to the Head Master, Mr. F. Whitehouse, on the
decision of the Town Authorities to confer on him the Free-
dom of Dover as a special recognition of his very active efforts
on behalf of education and other matters in our native town.
We should also like to include the Borough Organist, Mr. H. J.
Taylor, in our congratulations, as at one time he held the post
of Music Master in our School.
Fine weather again favoured the Annual Sports, held this
year in the grounds of the new School. A very large number of parents and friends viewed the events, and a thoroughly enjoyable time was spent by all cuncerned. The winners are to be congratulated on their victories. May ,\'e add, all competitors are to be also congratulated on helping to uphold the very fine spirit of sportsmanship prevailing in our School.
Our best wishes to the Head Master, NIr. F. Whitehouse, and the Staff, for a restful and enjoyable summer vacation, and to the boys for a healthy, British boys' holiday, playing the game and fitting themselves for the studies of the Autumn Term.

Old Pharosians' Cricket Club.

    The Club is passing through a very difficult period, as our playing strength has been weakened by the inability of several of our old members to play this season, and our funds have suffered a consequential loss. New members are not easy to obtain, and it is only with great difficulty that a team can be
fielded each week. Unless we can be assured of at least haIfa-dozen additional members for next season we are very much afraid that the Club will have to be disbanded. In 'Tiew of this serious state of affairs, we appeal to all Old Boys to come along and support us in an endeavour to keep the Club going. We have now been running for fourteen years, during which time the Club has always kept up the good name of the School, not only locally, but among the many Regiments whom they have met in the cricket field, and it would be most unfortunate if the Club were compelled to cease activities owing to lack of support from Old Boys.

HOUSE NOTES.
Buckland House.

    In the cricket field this term we have not been as successful as might have been expected. Members of the teams would do well to be more conscientious, especially when fielding.
The next sport that claimed our attention was swimming, and
I must congratulate those who co-operated to bring Buckland House to the head of the table. If only all boys would learn to swim at least one length, the points thus gained \vould be ˆxtremely valuable in the contest for the House Shield. Beside this, s\vimmers should take life-saving examinations, success in which is rewarded with additional points.
The most gratifying aspect of the Athletic Sports was that we attained a good second place, principally through boys corning second and third in their events. Our House sent in most entrants, and we have been fully rewarded for this effort. This has proved once and for all that the first place in a race, though much cherished, is by no means the only important position.
This year the contest for the House Shield is extremely close. I hope we shall win it; but if not, we shall have the satisfaction of knowing that we made a keen fight of it with true dark blue spirit.
Next year Buckland will stand a good chance of winning the Shield; and if all make an effort and back up the House Captain, as I know they can, there is no reason why dark blue ribbon should not surround that trophy in 1933. Valete, Buckland!

Country House.

    House activities this term have been many and varied, and our success has been as varied as they. 'vVe have maintained our standard at cricket, being top of the table so far, and with every prospect of remaining so. The 1st XI. have lost only two matches to Town, and should win all the others, while the 2nd XI. have won all games easily, due in a large measure to Crush. In three consecutive matches his scores have been 56, 52 (not out), and 100, and his bowling average is excellent. Under Vosper's able captaincy the 1st XI. have played consistently well, and deserve our thanks. At the Swimming Sports our standard was also maintained, but this is not surprising when one looks back on the difficulty of securing entries. We hope that next year greater keenness will be apparent. At the Athletics we gained only sixty points, again due to individuals, but, with training, this could be largely improved.
As this is the last occasion on which my initials will finish these notes, I should like to wish the House every success in the future, and urge all members to give their whole-hearted support to the House Master and the new Captain, who deserve it all.

Maxton House.

    Since there are very few" old stagers" in the House this term, the 1st XI. has not been very strong, especially since Rhodes left early on. There is, in particular, a lack of bowlers, although Magub and Coles do excellent work and show great promise. On the other hand, the 2nd XL, drawn from the large number of active members in the Middle School, has won half of its matches at least, and is quite a sound team. So much, then, for cricket, at which, together with football, Maxton requires one-third of its members to be outstandingly proficient before we
can hope to win the House Shield.
Where individuals count, our House comes to the fore, and
though we may be last in the House Championship, we can be
proud of having won the Drill Competition by a fair margin.
The winning of the Athletic Sports is, perhaps, an even finer
achievement, and is definite proof of the strength of the House
members between the ages of 13 and ~6. There are definite
indications of the House reaching a peak in two years’ time,
provided the Junior School continues to supply the usual numbers.
At swimming we have done quite well, having improved upon
our last year’s performance, but we are still only third in order
of points.
Our East Cup team shows good promise, numbering, as it
does, live of the School Under 14 XI.
It is with many regrets that I am leaving the House this
term, but I am sure that Maxton will continue to play hard
under my successor.

Town House.

    The end of the School year finds Town House once again to
the fore in the fight for the House Shield. Buckland have a.
slight advantage on football, athletics, and swimming, which
is neutralised by our three points lead so far in cricket. Thus,
the result will be in doubt until our House Matches against
Buckland have been played.
All the points for cricket have been gained by the 1st XI.,
which has won all four matches to date. The second match,
against Country, proved very exciting, as after Country had
scored 76, we just managed to win by three wickets, scoring 83
for seven wickets, despite a very long tail. A pleasant feature
of this match was the fielding—probably the best seen in a House
Match for years. The 2nd XI. has failed in every match, despite
some good talent. This is because it never gets a grip on the
game, the batsmen throwing away their wickets by wild slogging
when more steady play would pay.
‘We did not repeat last year’s success at the Athletic Sports,
having to be content with third place, 19 points behind the
winners. This was in spite of some excellent running by Good-
fellow, Tyrell (ii), A. L. Pearce, and Bayliss.
The Swimming Sports this year resulted in a win for Buckland
by quite a large margin, Town being second. Thus, Town’s
position at the head in swimming must no longer be taken for
granted, and a determined effort must be made next year to
regain it. It should be noted that the points gained for life-
saving this year actually bring our total percentage for swimming
above that of Buckland. Thus, every boy in the Third Form
and upwards who can swim should think seriously of attempting
-to pass the life-saving examinations.
I shall be very sorry to leave the House this term, and would
-wish my successor such support and goodwill as I have ex-
perienced during my term of office.

Rugby.

    Three matches were played last season after the date of
The Pharos going to press. Everybody connected with the
introduction and promotion of Rugby Football in the School
can feel justly proud, for the two thrilling matches with Dover
proved that the School XV. could hold its own against an ex-
perienced adult side.
All the forwards played excellent games, not so much in
scrummaging as in the unceasing way they followed up the ball,
despite the very fast pace at which the games were played.
Compared with the Dover men, the half-backs and three-quarters
were lacking in experience, but this deficiency was recompensed
by their keenness.
A most gratifying sight was the attendance of numerous
boys, parents and friends, to whom the team offers its heartiest
thanks.
The following boys formed the first School Rugby team
Full Bach.—L. W. Goodfellow.
Three-quarters.—E. W. Hampshire, L. E. Moseling, P. D. Cooke, A. E.
Johnstone, A. H. Tyrell.
.Half-backs.—J. Vosper, M. Gapelli.

SCHOOL CRICKET.

    This season's ISt XI. ,results compare fairly with those of last year, for up to date we have won four and lost three of our fixtures. Although this is not a very imposing record, the games have been keenly contested and thoroughly enjoyed. The batting of the earlier members of the team has been good, but when these failed the other members seemed to become over-awed and did not produce their best form. The" tail" is, as last year, too long; its members do not attack the bowling, forgetting that anything that is short of a length or over-pitched should be hit with the proper ferocity. There is a sufficiency of bowling in the ISt XI., but not enough variety, as there is no good spin bowler who can turn the ball both ways. In consequence we have had some big scores compiled against us, and our batsmen do not playa slow bowler with any confidence. A good spin bowler is a great asset to a team, and any boy who perfected himself in this art would be almost sure of becoming a member of the School Ist XI ; but aspirants for this position should remember that any bowler must be able to keep a good length, for that is the secret of success.
After commencing the season badly the 2nd XI. improved considerably, so that out of its last six matches, five were won and the other drawn. Matches were lost at first by small margins due to bad fielding, but when this was improved the team became difficult to defeat. Under the captaincy of Andrews the members of the XI. worked together as a team, each performing 'well on occasions. Jenkins has proved a stolid opening batsman, and Cadman has bowled consistently, while Magub has been a most valuable all-rounder.
The Under IS XI. has an excellent record, having won four out of six matches. The team's strength lies in its all-rowld ability, for most of the members can bowl and bat well, and many have been successful at times. The keenness of these boys speaks well for future years when they will form the nucleus of the School Ist XI.
We are deeply indebted to the ground staff for preparing such excellent pitches, and to all who regularly gave their support.

SWIMMING NOTES.

    Except for the Annual Sports at the Baths on 9th June, swimming activity this term has been confined to the usual popular Thursday afternoon meetings. \Vater polo still has a few ardent exponents, but it was impossible to carry out the suggestion of having inter-House matches during the term, or even an exhibition match on the day of the Sports.
The demands of economy have been satisfied by the substitution of six miniature silver cups in place of medals for swimming events. E. C. Sharp, of Buckland House, gained the Open Championship and the Twelve Lengths awards, L. E. Dargan the 14-16 Cup, and D. J. Suter the Under 14- Although only twelve, Suter sho'ws signs of becoming a future champion, and Buckland House are fortunate in having him to continue their record fcrfine swimmers. The runner-up in the open events was F. Constable, while W. :\1. E. White, J. B. Pullee, and A. D. Dewar tied for third place.
The standard of swimming seems to be well maintained, and two new records were created in the Under 14 House Relay and the One Length Novices' race. The diving was disappointing, and the record for the plunge, which some expected to see broken, remains at last year's figure:
Unfurtunately, Canon EInar was prevented by illness from attending the Sports, but Alderman Sellens willingly took his place in distributing the awards.
The results of the events were as follows:
Two Lengths (Under r4).-I, A.. L. S. Pearce; 2, D. C. Thompson; 3, S. Gale. Time, 34 4/5 sees.
Two Lengths (14-16).-1, G. S. Taylor; 2, L. E. Dargan; 3, F. Gale. Time, 29 3/5 sees.

SPORTS DAY, 1932.

    The Annual Sports were held for the first time at the School
Grounds, Astor Avenue, on 6th July. The afternoon was fine,
although the morning had threatened rain. Despite the strong
wind, the competitors put up some good performances. The
running of Goodfellow, Boom, S. Gale, and Archibald was
noticeable, but many others did very well in their particular
events.
The five following records were made
120 Yards Hurdles.—L. W. Goodfellow. Time, 14 4/5 sees.

ioo Yards (Open) .—L. W. Goodlellow. Time, 50 5/5 secs.

220 Yards (Open, Under 54)—S. Gale. Time, 27 3/5 sees.

220 Yards (Open).—L. W. Goodfellow. Time, 23 4/5 sees.

High Jump (Open, Under s4).—C. W. Teasdale. Height, 4Jt 4i ins.

For the second year in succession the Senior Championship
was won by L. W. Goodfellow; S. Gale was Junior Champion.
At the conclusion of the events the Mayoress (Mrs. Powell)
presented the awards, this year limited to the winners of events
in the Senior and Junior Championships. The Mayor, in his
speech, said it was refreshing for him to be present at the Sports,
and congratulated the School on its performances. This very
successful Sports Day was brought to a close by three cheers
for the Mayoress and the Head Master, and the playing of the
National Anthem by the band of the Highland Light Infantry,
to whom our thanks are due for their services.

DRAMATIC SOCIETY.

The activities of the Dramatic Society have been limited this
term to planning the work for November and February. We
were glad to welcome so many new members, especially the
younger boys from Form IV.
The play for Speech Day in November is “The Play of the
Wether,” by John Heywood, and for our festival in February,
“The Admirable Crichton,” by Sir James Barrie. This play
gives great scope for all our members as electricians, stage
managers, scenic artists, and actors.

THE SCHOOL LIBRARY.

    We have now spent our first school year in the new buildings,.
and I have thought it well to take stock both of the work of the
Library and also of its contents. Only in this way can we be
sure that this department of school life is working to its full
efficiency; and where improvements can be made these should
be discovered and put into practice.
But, after all, the successful and smooth working of a library
with open shelves largely depends on those who use it. If all
concerned will observe the perfectly simple, yet golden, rule—
never take a book out without having it registered by the Library
Prefect—there will be very few lost books to record, and much
time will be saved (to say nothing of general annoyance) in
tracing those that are recovered. When I mention that nearly
6ooo loans—one third of them reference books—have been
registered in three terms, the necessity of the rule is obvious.
Need I repeat that there is a moral duty on all who wish to
share the benefits that the Library offers? An arrangement that
constitutes a reference department, a loan section and a reading
room, all housed together, can be properly conducted only by
a due observance of regulations and the willing assistance of
all borrowers and readers in the Library. As a result of
experience we shall put into force certain suggestions that have
been made, and we particularly welcome the assistance of Mr.
Allen in the lending section.
It is very pleasing to be able still to record our thanks for
gifts of books, and particularly also gratefully to acknowledge
the presentation of a bust of Shakespeare, given by Major Temple,
the father of an old boy. This is the first piece of sculpture to
adorn the pedestals, which we venture to hope that others may
ff1 as means and opportunity afford.

D.C.S. CADET COMPANY.

    This term's activities have been limited somewhat by the examinations, but several useful parades have been held. Co1. Grubb, our County Commandant, visited us unexpectedly on Tuesday, 28th June, and expressed his pleasure in all that he saw.
The welcome news that we have for' the fifth time won the Lucas Tooth Competition has been received, and the information that we are to have three ne\v and very keen rivals in the future makes the next competition take on a more serious aspect than those of previous years.
Camp will be held at Sandwich Bay from Thursday, 28th July, to Thursday, nth August, inclusive. The Advance Guard will leave at 8 a.m. on the former date, followed by the main body at 10 a.m. The Advance Guard will receive assistance in pitching camp from the main body on their arrival. While in camp the Company will be inspected for the Lucas Tooth Competition, and the Annual Inspection will also be held there. We hope that many parents and other friends will visit us on Saturday, 6th August, when camp sports will be held. We look forward eagerly to the time when we shall again be affiliated to our old friends, the Cinque Ports (Fortress) Royal Engineers, and hope that our Company will follow them past the saluting base at next year's King's Birthday Celebrations. May I also take this opportunity to thank the Adjutant of our parent Company on behalf of a party of N.c.O.'s who spent a most enjoyable and instructive evening with them on the Breakwater during the Easter holidays.
A number of Cert. "A" candidates are training for the November examination, and in this connection it may be noted that ex-Sjt. Salmon, who passes out from Sandhurst at the end of this term, has volunteered to assist these candidates in any manner he can. There will, therefore, be instruction parades for them under ex-Sji. Salmon during the holidays.
It is pleasing to record that an anonymous ex-N.c.O., on seeing in The Pharos that the Balance Sheet showed a deficit, forwarded a cheque for £1 to the O.c. \Ve tender him our sincere thanks.
After camp the Corps will be losing its Drum Major, Company Serjeant-Major, and at least three Serjeants. The Corps wishes them every success in their respective careers.
One thing more. N.c.O.'s and Cadets who have been to camp before will note with appreciation that S.M. Coombs will again be in camp.
Look out! Training Section!

HANDICRAFT.

    The following extract from a letter will interest many late members of Fonn V. Industry, who were instrument?J in the making and assembly of a small machine drill in the workshop at Ladywell.
This drilling machine was sent to the Lowestoft Craft Exhibition, organised by the Institute of Handicraft Teachers, at Easter. Its return was accompanied by a letter from the Secretary to lVIr. Hazelden, in which, amongst other things, he says;" DEAR -:VIR. HAZELDEN,
" At last I can find an opportunity to thank you for your splendid contribution to our Lowestoft Exhibition. To say that it was appreciated is but to put it mildly. It was a splendid conception, splendidly carried out. I heard comments galore, and suspect we shall hear again of many drills being made in schools. You have indeed set a ball rolling. It was an outstanding exhibit in what was a very big exhibition, and one which gave food for thought."

GLEAMS AND FLASHES.

    The School Charity Fund amounted, on 11th July, to about
fg for the term, including £2 9s. 2d. for the sale of roses on
Queen Alexandra Rose Day. The total for the School Year
to date is £30.

The Swimming Sports for 1932—3 will be held early next
term, and it is hoped to hold these sports in all future years near
the beginning of the Autumn Term. This change is being made
partly to relieve the congestion of events in the Summer Term,
and partly to enable competitors to avail themselves of practice
during the summer holidays.

The points awarded in the drill competition for the Parents’
Association Cup were :—Maxton, 486; Country. 474; Buckland,
-473 ; Town, 433. The adjudicator was Staff-Serjeant-Instructor
Williams, of the Army Physical Training Staff.

The drill display which followed the competition was much
enjoyed by the parents and others who were present to witness it.
Unfortunately the weather prevented the display being held in
•the open air as was intended.

In connection with the meetings of the National Union of
Teachers, held at Easter at Folkestone, a party of the Foreign
Delegates visited our School. The Secretary of the Foreign
Delegates’ Committee writes to say how much they appre-
ciated the opportunity to see the building and how much they
were impressed by their visit.

A VISIT TO THE THEATRE.

    On Thursday, 9th June, about thirty members of Form V.,.
with Mr. Uncles, paid a visit to Folkestone Theatre to see “ Julius
Caesar” played by Sir Philip Ben Greet and his company. We•
arrived there just in time to take our seats before the play com-
menced. The acting was very good, and although some scenes
had necessarily to be omitted owing to the time taken, the theme
of the play remained remarkably continuous. As “Julius
Caesar” was one of the set books for our examination, many of
us found ourselves repeating the more important speeches after
the actors. The scheming Cassius, the fluent Antony, Brutus
the idealist, and surly Casca were all well portrayed, and the
fickleness of the mob was as remarkable as Antony’s “miracle
of invective.” Several humorous incidents occurred, especially
in the thunderstorm scene, when the switch used to regulate the
artificial lightning squeaked rather loudly
XVe had a very pleasant journey home, thanks to the vocal
accompaniment of some of the more musical members of the
party I The buses arrived in Dover about half past eleven,
and we all felt that our thanks were due to Mr. Uncles for
arranging such an enjoyable evening.

THE JOYS OF SCHOOL.

LIFE IN A BURMESE SCHOOL.

    The following extracts are from a letter written to the Head
Master by Bernard Sewell, who was at School from 1920 to
1924, and is now teaching at the Wesleyan Methodist Mission
Boys’ High School in Mandalay
“I believe I told you that I was coming out to Burma as
a lay missionary, but I had very little idea, then, just what kind
of work I should be doing. I thought I should be teaching in
one of our schools out here for some years and then perhaps take
charge of one school when I was more experienced. In actual
fact, I was out here for two months when I was put in charge of
our Mandalay School. At first I had very little financial re-
sponsibility, but now that another Westminster man has come
to share the work with me, I have the superintendence of the
whole concern.
“I had only three years’ teaching experience before I came
here; consequently I have more and more been led to work
upon my memories of Dover; and even if I saw nothing of the
work behind the scenes, I know how things ought to appear
to a boy in a well run school. My ideal—as head of a school—
has been very largely modelled on my memories of you.
“This school contains between 350 and 400 boys, and is an
Anglo-Vernacular School. From Standards I. to VII. most of
the teaching is done in Burmese, but English is taught as a
second language. In the High Department—Standards VIII.
to X.—the education is in English, and Burmese is taken as
the second language. As a matter of fact, we have a large
number of Indian boys in the school as well, and they do not
take Burmese, but their own vernacular—Tamil, Hindi, or Urdu.
“You will understand from this that my contact with the
boys has so far been limited to the High Department. But we
Lhave to work fairly hard at Burmese, and within a year or
two I hope to be able to take a bit more direct interest in the
youngsters.
“I have, on the whole, a very nice staff, seven of whom are
Christian, and of the rest, three are Moslems, one is Buddhist,
and one is a Theosophist. The majority of the boys, of course,
are Buddhists. They are pleasant, sunny boys, but abominably
lazy. This laziness is partly due to the climate and partly
to their religion, the effect of which is to breed a spirit of in-
difference. There is not so much fun and mischief in the whole
school as there is in a single class of English boys. Yet, with
all their faults, they are very lovable, and I am glad to be working
amongst them.
“I am beginning to feel very much at home in Burma. It
is a beautiful country through most of the year, and in the worst
of the hot, dusty weather one can get up into the hills, which
are delightful. There is very little rain in Mandalay, and it is
therefore quite a healthy place.
“Mv mother sent me a newspaper cutting recently, showing
a picture of the new Boys’ School at Dover. It looks a very
fine place, but I find it difficult to understand its scheme of
architecture. Everything seems so irregular. However, one
cannot judge very well from such a picture, and I shall be looking
forward to seeing it in another five years’ time.
“I suppose there have been many changes on the Staff since
I left, but I imagine that perhaps Mr. Watt, Mr. Tomlinson,
Mr. Pearce, and Mr. Baxter may still be “going strong.” Would
you be so good as to remember me to them, if they are at hand?

PHILOLOGICAL ANNOTATION.

Voluminous notes appended to various set authors, notably
Shakespeare and Chaucer, have become such an unwelcome
feature of student life that even authorities, we are told, are at
last wondering whether the quest for derivation and parallel
has not gone too far. The present writer, having had presented
to him a book in which such notes are actually one hundred
pages more than the actual text, takes a good example of very
remote verse to illustrate his meaning.
Mary’ had2 a little8 lamb4
Its fleece5 was6 white as7 snow8
And everywhere9 that Mary went’0,
Thatli lamb was sure’2 to go’8.
1 Surname unknown (cf. Una). It is useless to speculate as to
any allegorical reference (see Blakey, “ Allegory in Spenser
and Bunyan.’’).
2 Implying past, if not present, possession. Does not neces-
sarily denote deception, although the verb “to have”
(pret. “ to be had “) is often used in this sense. See
Appendix C (i).
8 i.e., small, not large ; not necessarily undersized, but in its
early adolescence. “ Definitely wee “ (McTavish).
~ Juvenile of the species “sheep.” Fr. “ agnean “ which, by
obvious sound changes, becomes “lamb” (pronounced
“lam,” the “b” being an interesting silent final con-
sonant). (See Howler “ Queen’s Enghsh.”)
= wool; cf. A.S. flea; O.F. flece; M.G.H., fleech; Doub.-
Dutch, fleas; Sanskrit, []% $£@, although some authors
would derive, with Sheate, direct from Icel. fletta, to
weave, but this seems beside the point.
6 i.e., used to be.
‘~ An interesting simile (see Mollard, “ The Ep~ic Sim~les of
Greece and Rome.”). “ Yet, if the lamb were actually
placed against a background of snow, we doubt whether
the simile would still hold in its entirety “ (Burneau,
“Temporary Preface to Six-Text Edition of Great Classical
Passages,” London, 1796). Yet such destructive criticism
does not altogether spoil the aesthetic qualities of a
pictorially descriptive simile.
S The frozen precipitation which used to be the most interesting
phenomenon of the English winter (hence strong proof
of antiquity of the MS.), still to be seen in some northern
countries. The simile is apt; new-fallen snow does indeed
resemble in a marked degree the untainted downy wool
of an innocent little lamb.
~ =omnia in loca; i.e., presuming it had right of way (see
A.A. Handbook, New Tariff L~ist, etc.). It is interesting to
note that should Mary decide to cross the frontier into
another country the lamb might well have to spend some
time separated from its mistress in quarantine (see Shroude,
Ancient Rules and Customs,” sub-section i4d, note (c) ).
But all this is purely speculative.
10 This seems to embrace past, present and future possibilities,
although editors differ on this point.
~ Hardly demonstrative. There is only one lamb in question,
and the word would therefore seem somewhat redundant.
The most advanced editors fail to offer any very satis-
• factory solution. We leave it to the student.
12 Note element of certainty. This seems to preclude the
quarantine question (note 9 (b) above).
18 i.e., transport itself, or possibly, be transported, as in a
cage or large basket (although Tyrdwitt denies this).
The whole is a touching example of animal fidelity, even to
the extent of importunity (cf. Edgar Wallace, “ The Case of the
Broken Tureen,” where the fidelity of a cat caused a maid to
trip over it, disclosing the murderer’s dagger within a dish).
