EDITORIAL.

    The chief news of the term has been that of the approaching retir~ment of the Headmaster. Many regrets have already been expressed that his long and distinguished career at the School is to finish at the end of the Autumn Term, and we can all realise in some measure what the loss of his guidance and influence will mean to the School.

—:—

    The School joined with the whole of Dover in mourning the death, which took place on 6th June, of Mr. H. J. Taylor, the Borough Organist. Mr. Taylor was known to us, not only for the gr:eat work he did for the advancement of music in Dover and for his help freely given to the School on all possible occasions, but for the fact that he was for several years in charge of the music teaching in School. He will be remembered in this capacity by many Old Boys, who will treasure his memory for the sake of his own cheery and affectionate personality as well as for the knowledge and love of good music they must have acquired under his tuition.

—:—

    The new arrangements for House Games which have been tried this term seem to have aroused plenty of enthusiasm. It is intended they should form the basis of a revised House Competition from the beginning of next t~rm. May we point out that if the new system, with its much increased opportunities, is to be a success it can only be with the hearty and complete co-operation of both Boys and Parents.

—:—

    We congratulate Mr. Pearce on the publication of his "School Physics," which has received very favourable notice in the Press and in other quarters. Since the book reflects }Ir. Pearce's personality as a teacher, those who know him will agree that it is bound to form a valuable addition to the list of school text books in this subject.

PARENTS' ASSOCIATION.

    The Executive Committee are pleased to report that the office of Chairman of our Association, rendered vacant by the departure from Dover of Lieut.-Col. Donald, M.c., has 'been accepted by Mr. C. G. Gane, our new Vice-Chairman being Mr. J. Williams.
    By both these gentlemen we feel sure our aims, to help the School and to further the interest of all parents in the work of our Association, will be earnestly studied; their personal endeavours will be used to maintain and strengthen the position we hold in the life of the School.
    We congratulate the winners of the Parents' Association Challenge Cup in the recent Inter-House Gymnastic Competition. Well done, Country House!
    It is very pleasing that" Country" should have emerged winners. Knowing how difficult it is for boys of this House to meet and practise for sports events, we accord them full praise for their success.
    We offer the boys our hearty" Bravo! " for their success in the Parents v. Boys Cricket Match. A good game, fine weather, and a good attendance, all combined to make this event very enjoyable. \Ve are again pleased to claim as "Parents" for the day two members of the Staff :-Messrs. F. F. Allin and J. Slater, and also to note that we had fathers who were playing against their own boys. Mr. W. E. Hayden again captained our team, the members of which were Messrs. F. F. Allin, J. Slater, E. H. Fry, R. G. Standen, E. Weston, N. Sutton, R. A. Treadwell, H. Watkins, N. A. Line, W. E. Peverley, W. C. Chadwick.
    We close these notes with the sincere feeling of regret felt by all Parents at the official news of the coming retirement of the Headmaster, Mr. F. Whitehouse, M.A. For the moment we are at a loss adequately to express our thoughts on this matter. Our Association will lose a staunch friend, whose kindly interest, help and advice has always been ours. In Mrs. Whitehouse, too, we shall lose a friend whose ever willing help has always been given, especially to the Ladies' Committee who have with us appreciated her interest in the Parents' Association.
E.C.M. (Hon. Sec.).

    We print with pleasure the following extract from a letter received from a correspondent who, although preferring to remain anonymous, has always shown a great interest, especially in the sports side of the Association:—
    "For the Isle of Wight tour in August, with Mr. N. Sutton as captain and Mr. L. Browne as Secretary, the Cricket Club looks forward to a series of pleasant matches. Whether Mr. J. Slater, as manager of the team, will have an easy time in looking after what is known as " the gang," is uncertain, but he can depend on the physical assistance of those not included in " the gang" and on the jolly good spirit of everybody. When the Cricket tour is finished we shall be thinking seriously of Football. The members of the Old Pharosians' Football Club anticipate a successful season; already a full programme of league and friendly matches has been arranged.
    In both clubs there exists a camaraderie amongst the O.P.'s which makes the members enjoy their games, win or lose, and which gives them the opportunity of renewing acquaintance week by week.
    To all Old Boys and to those soon to become Old Boys I should like to offer the suggestion that they should communicate with Mr. Browne, the Cricket Secretary and Mr. Baker, the Football Secretary, in order to join their old school clubs and wear the old school tie. Communications to them addressed to the School will always reach them."

Old Pharosians’ Cricket Club.

    The early expectations of a well-supported club have been
fully realised, particularly by the support of the younger Old
Boys ; it is to these that we have to look for the future, and
with continued support next season, further strengthening of the
“A” Eleven fixtures list can be considered.
    The Club as a whole have been doing reasonably well in their
matches, and although a number of matches has been lost, the
results show, in the majority of cases, that the teams have been
well matched. The standard of play throughout has been steady
and coupled with keenness and good spirit, which augurs well
for the future.
    During August Bank Holiday week a party are touring the
Isle of Wight, and have games with Freshwater, Ryde, Ventnor,
Newport and Northwood C.C., Cowes. Those taking part are
Messrs. A. C. L. Browns, A. ‘N. Buss, G. Cook, G. D. Magub,

Old Pharosians’ F.C.

    Although the season 1935—36 was not quite so successful as
former seasons, the team showed much improvement during the
last month, when several young players were promoted into the
1st XI., and we look forward to a much better record during
1936—37. Although we are only running one team for League
purposes, we hope that enough “young blood” will come along
to arrange friendly fixtures for a 2nd XI., and we are glad to
know that some of last year’s School team are to assist us.
    The Secondary School Old Boys’ League was successfully
started during the past season and we shall be very glad to
welcome our old friends the Duke of York’s R.M. School and
the Old Bordenians (Sittingbourne) as members during the
coming winter although xve shall be sorry to lose the Faversham
School.
    A very full programme has been arranged for the coming
season (approximately 40 games, including Practice matches
at School on 8th and 15th September), and I shall be glad to
hear from any Old Boys who would like to assist us. I cannot
close these notes without conveying on behalf of all members
of the Club our sincere thanks to R. R. Russell for all he has
done for the Club as Secretary since its formation, and we
shall still look for his enthusiastic support for many seasons
to come.
E. H. BAKER, Hon. Sec.

HOUSE NOTES.
Buckland House.

    The cricket this term has unfortunately been rather disappointing: out of a total of fiye matches to date, the 1st XI. has won three but the 2nd XI. has been unable to record a victory despite some good younger talent. This state of affairs could be remedied if wickets were not thrown away by wild slogging and runs given away by slackness in the field. We also need more players from the upper section of the NIidclle School to strengthen this team.
    Swimming was the next sport which claimed our attention and our success here exceeded our highest expectations, being due, in the main, to the co-opera tin' effort of all conce,'neel. This success should be backed up by every boy learning to swim at least one length, and swimmers should also take the life-saving examinations, so gaining extremely useful points in the contest for the House Shield.
    At the moment the Athletic team docs not look too promising but the enthusiasm among the Juniors augurs well for the future. Members will do well to note that the first place in a race, though much cherished, is by no means all-important because a second and third produce just as many points.
    Once again the contest for the House Shield is very close. To win it everyone must do his level best; so rally round, D~uk Blues!
    Next term, with its new House system will give much wider scope for all to help in some way or other to see that the shield has a dark blue background. Members of Buckland HO\lse, it rests with you.
    We welcome A. M. G. Gordon and J. M. Gale to the School this term.

Country House.

    This term has been a most interesting one as far as House affairs are concerned. The attitude of leaving all the 'work to a few has disappeared and all members of the House have combined to make our activities, for the most part, a success.
    We began the term well by winning the Physical Education Competition. The team of seven are to be congratulated on their smart performance, which was achieved only as the result Df constant practice.
    On the cricket field, too, our teams have met with considerable success. The Second XI., under the captaincy of Fennor, is still unbeaten, whilst the First XI. has only lost two matches.
The match with Town was particularly interesting, the House losing by a very narrow margin. At present, with t\\'o more matches to play, Country stands at the top of the table.
    I would like to thank all those who have this year made a special effort to raise the standard of House swimming. Although we failed rather badly in the swimming sports, the efforts of these members of the House will not be useless, for most of them will be able to claim their point for swimming one length.
    Meanwhile, we are training hard for the Athletic Sports and with considerable success in this event we should stand a good chance of winning the House Shield. The new arrangement whereby each House fields five teams has been received with enthusiasm and our junior teams have been extremely successful.
    This term we are losing Mercer and r would like to take this opportunity of thanking hjm for all the services he has rendered to the House and of wishing him every success in his future career.
    We welcome the following new members to the House this term :-lVI. Bray, H. Fliess, C. A. Ford, K. D. Toop.
H.F.M.

—:—

Maxton House.

    From Maxton's point of view, this season's cricket has been disappointing. The 1st XI. has been unable to record any victory, although Country were only just able to win the last game. Two bowlers, the only two available, were greatly overworked during the term and the fielding, until the last game, was rather below standard. J ones has batted and bowled consistently and well. The 2nd XI. won both games against Buckland. Stroud and Alcock must be mentioned for their batting and Bowley and Stribley as bowlers. The House" Colts" and the Junior ISt and 2nd XL's have played four keenly contested games and the House may look forward to some excellent cricket in two years' time.
    Our team in the Gym Competition were placed second to Country and must be congratulated on the amount of work they put in to achieve this result.
    Maxton was placed third in the results of the Swimming Sports with I6t points. Mantle, who gained the I4-I6 Championship, Stewart and Elworthy were the principal point-winners for Maxton.
    We hope that in Athletics 1\Iaxton \vill be able to retain its position at the head of the House table. Training, particularly among the younger members of the House, has been going on for nearly two months in preparation for the Athletic Sports.
    During the next year, when the new Sports reorganisation IS completed, the older members of the House must remember that the future of the House depends upon the younger boys. lUuch more time than hitherto must be deyoted to the bo\'~ who are under 14. Only so will Maxton regain a snperior position among the Honses.

—:—

Town House.

    Town Honse is at the moment of writing second in the Honse Championship. We have, however, two cricket matches to be played and the Athletic Sports in hand.
    The Honse has fielded two strong Cricket XI.' s and has lost only three ant of the ten matches played. The first XI. has played remarkably well, as it has only lost one match. Blaxland, Hayden and Treadwell have played well and the team's success is largely due to them. In the second XI. Carpenter and Knights have distinguished themselves with consistent batting and bowling. In both teams, however, the fielding has been weak and missed catches have almost cost us some of onr rather close wins.
    The Swimming Sports haye given Town a set-back in championship chances. The weakness lay in the 14 to 16 and under 14 events. The senior events were our strong factors, most of the points being won by the fine swimming of Dunn and Heller.
    We have now to look forward to the Athletic Sports. Here again the weakness lies in the Junior sections. I hope the members of the House, especially the Juniors, will do their utmost to make the Championship Shield ours once more.
    We welcome A. R. Barnes and D. A. Ouested to the House
this term. D.E.M.W.

SCHOOL CRICKET

    As only three of last year's team were available some difficulty was experienced in settling down the resulting young side. Owing to their inexperience the standard of play was low at the beginning of the season and many games were lost, but as time went on the team spirit increased, so much so that three out of the last four matches to date have been won. The fielding, which at first was "leak, has considerably improved, and this has accounted largely for our later successes. The Parents, who were unable to field their strongest XI., were beaten by 16 runs, and similar exciting matches were also played with the Old Boys and with Harvey Grammar School. Furlong has bowled consistently well, as have Hayden and \Vest on occasion. As an opening bat, Toop has played some fine innings, and many more good scores would be made by the rest of the team if they would cure a tendency to step back.
    The 2nd XI., ably led by Moseling, has kept up its usual high standard, only two games being lost to the time of writing. The victories have been due to the excellent bowling of Harvey and Edgar, and some good scores by Jones and Baker. Treadwell's 130 not out against Harvey was a fine effort.
    Among the Juniors there are some good cricketers, and they would do well to note that a good spin bowler is an asset to any School XI.
    Finally, our thanks are due to the groundsmen for the excellence of the pitches, and to the kitchen staff for their efficient help in entertaining our visitors.

INTER-SCHOOL ATHLETIC SPORTS, 1936.

    The School Athletic team, captained by M. W. Fenn, met ~he teams of Harvey Grammar School and Simon Langton School 111 the third annual competition at Folkestone, on 28th March. The weather was overcast and misty, and at intervals during the afternoon a light drizzle fell. The final distribution of points was:-

Folkestone, 40; Canterbury, 34; Dover, 28.

    Mr. R. White, Mayor of Folkestone, and himself an Old
Harveian, spoke at tea of the importance of athletics, even from
Greek times, and of the pleasure it had given him to act as referee
at such a successful meeting. Mr. Whitehouse proposed a vote
of thanks to the Head Master of Harvey Grammar School, for
the excellent entertainment afforded. This was seconded by
Mr. Myers, Head Master of Simon Langton School, and carried
with enthusiasm.

THE INTER-SCHOOL SWIMMING SPORTS.

    The fourth Inter-School Swimming Sports were held on Thursday, 16th July, at the Dover Corporation Swimming Baths, when we were the hosts of Simon Langton and Harvey Grammar Schools. Simon Langton were again the winners, although the final result depended on the last event, the Senior Relav Race. Our comparatively young team is to be congratulated on its fine performance in running Canterbury so close.
    Once again the Plunging was closely contested, the winner, Saxby of Canterbury, breaking the record with a plunge of 52ft. sins. Very fast times were made by the winners of the Four and Twelve Lengths, but it will be agreed that it was in the Senior Relay that the excitement. reached its climax. Canterbury's superior team work finally won them this event, and the top position in the final table of points.
    The programme concluded with a polo match between teams drawn from the three schools.
    Afterwards the teams were entertained to tea in the School dining hall, when our Headmaster welcomed the visitors and congratulated the winners.

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

    During the Easter Holidays a Field Day was held on Ewell
Minnis. In the morning the defence was facing what was
thought to be• the enemy forces but actually consisted of eight
cadets. The remainder of the attacking force made a flanking
movement and would, have been entirely successful but for
a slight delay in carrying out the intended programme.
    As the date of the King’s Birthday occurred during the
School Certificate Examination we were unable to send a con-
tingent to attend the Birthday Parade, as we have done in
previous years.
    On 26th June the Company was inspected by the Brigade
Major, who afterwards presented the cup for the most efficient
junior cadet to Cdt. Carpenter and also a cup to Lce.-Cpl. Steam.
The latter cup was given by the officers to the first cadet home
at Chingford, on the condition that he was one of the first six
in the race. This event recalled an enjoyable trip to Chingford
on 4th April, by the team representing the Corps in the Annual
Cross-Country Run. In the race Lce.-Cpl. Steam came in
fifth Sjt. Curry also ran well and gained sixth place. The
team was placed fourth, a position fairly satisfactory when one
remembers the mud and pools that were present that day,
conditions of which the team had had little experience.
    Throughout the term shooting parades have been held under
the supervision of Lieut. King. Some time before the end of
July a junior and senior team will be selected to represent the
Corps in the King’s Shield Competition. We wish them good
luck.
    Parades are now being held in preparation for the Installation
of the Lord Warden on 30th July. We are again to line the route
with the Garrison Troops.
    Towards the end of the term a signalling examination was
held, by means of which Cadets Myers and Menter were appointed
No. i and No. 2 Company Signallers respectively.
    The electrical engineers of the Corps are anticipating some
interesting work at camp, as permission has been secured from
the Post-Master General to install a wireless transmitting set.
The wavelength allotted to the Corps is 40 metres and the call
signal is 2 AYF.
    Camp is eagerly awaited, for every possible effort is to be made
in order to regain the Lucas Tooth Shield that we lost last year.
This camp will be a record one, for never before in the history
of this unit has there been such a large number of N.C.O’s. and
cadets proceeding to camp. As will be seen there is at present
a deficit in the cadet accounts. We may rest assured that every
effort will be made by the Canteen Manager (Ex.-Sjt. Ravensdale)
to ensure that the Corps is not in a similar position next year.
    In appreciation of the good times spent with the Company,
Ex.-Sjts. Bird and Terry have presented a cup for an annual
guard mounting competition, to be held at camp.
    We congratulate Sjt. Coles and Lce.-Cpl. Watson, the two
candidates entered for the Certificate “A” Examination in
March, who were both successful.
    Promotions—To Lce.-Cpl.—Cdt. Fuller.

INTER-HOUSE GYMNASTIC COMPETITION.

    The Inter-House Gymnastic Competition took place on the
evening of Wednesday, 3rd June, on the School Field, before a
large gathering of parents and friends. Major Syson, who is the
Chief Divisional H.M.I. for Physical Education, very kindly
came down to judge.
    Each team first went through a series of free standing exer-
cises under the command of the team leader. The leaders are
to be congratulated on the standard they attained in this part.
particularly as it was the first time they had taken charge and.
trained boys in this type of work.
    Agility work followed—unfortunately the wind was inclined.
to snake the competitors cold, and for this work it is essential
that they should be well warmed-up. Leaders tried to com-
pensate for this by taking their team for a short run before each
item.
    The Vaulting was carried out very well indeed, except that
in several cases the performance was spoilt by bad landing and
a slow recovery. In connexion with this, for future guidance,
the leaders were inclined to stand by the apparatus in such a
way that it did not appear as though they could have prevented
a boy falling if he slipped.
    At the close of the competition, the Headmaster introduced.
Major Syson, who then announced the result as follows
        i, Country, 6g.g pts. 3, Buckland, 62.6 pts.
        2, Maxton, 65.5 pts. 4, Town, 56.0 pts.
    The Cup, which was given by the Parents’ Association, was
presented to the leader of the winning team, E. Mercer, by Mrs.
Gane, the wife of the Chairman of the Association. After this
ceremony the parents and friends adjourned to the Dining Hall
for light refreshments.

DRAMATIC SOCIETY.

    The only meeting of the Society was held to get the nan~5
of those willing to work next winter. There was a large additi/n
of new members whom we welcome; we were, of course, sor~y
to miss the older boys, who have worked with us so well and so
long.
    The plays for the Prize Day, and also for the 5th and 6th
February have now been fixed and are being cast.
The Junior Section of the Society wish to thank J. W. Porler
for the gift of a very useful costume.

MUSICAL SOCIETY.

    This term we have considerably enlarged our stock of grarao-
phone records. At least half the additions are recordings of
modern music and coloratura singing.
    Modern music is represented by Bax, Dukas, Borodin,
Mussorgsky, Sibelius and Stravinsky. The recording of “A
Night on the Bare Mountain ~‘ is very good and that of an excerpt
from “ The Fire Bird is truly brilliant.
    Three of the world’s finest operatic stars have been chosen
as examples of coloratura singing. These are Galli-Curci, who
sings the beautiful aria “Un bel di vedremo,” from Puccini’s
Madame Butterfly”; Gigli, who with tears in his brilliant
tenor voice gives a superb rendering of “ Your tiny hand is
frozen,” from Puccini’s “La Boh~me”; and lastly, Schlusisus,
who sings the “Largo al Factotum” from Rossini’s “ The Barber
of Seville.”
    Beethoven is represented by three records of his “ Emperor
Concerto,” played by Scbnabel and the London Symphony
Orchestra; the Funeral March from “The Eroica,” performed by
the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra, under the direction of the
German composer Hans Pfitzner; and a complete recording oI the
Fifth Symphony by the London Philharmonic Orchestra, con-
ducted by Koussevitzky. There are also recordings of works by
Bach, Berlioz, Brahms, Gounod, Mozart, Haydn, Hubay, Strauss,
Tchaikovsky, Saint-Saens, Wagner, Schubert and Verdi.
    The old recordings we have being worn out and pre-electric, these new records are really only a nucleus, round which it is hoped that a comprehensive record library may be built, one worthy of the School, and our radio-gramophone. Additional books on music are being purchased by the library, so it is hoped that more boys will take an interest in good music. If enough interest were shown, after-school recitals and lectures could be instituted during the winter term. \Ye would like to thank }Ir. Coulson, Mr. Darby, 11r. Langley and W. R. Haydon, who have kindly lent records for our dinner-hour concerts.

THE SCHOOL LIBRARY.

    The list of additions this term is shorter than usual, but to those who are still helping to increase our stock of books we offer our best thanks. \Ve are also under a debt of gratitude to the K.E.c. for increasing our Library Grant this year to the sum of £25. Nor is this an isolated instance of their generosity. I am glad, too, to be able to report that the number of losses has diminished, though there is still room for further improvement in that direction. A large number of copies will have to be discarded through wear and tear, but this wastage could also be lessened (particularly with the more popular fiction books) if a borrower would just repair immediately any minor defect in the binding (as if it were his own book) before it became serious. The fuller our shelves, the greater choice there will be for readers.
    In conclusion, a word of thanks to the Library Prefect (J. :l\I. Falconer) and his assistants for their ungrudging help-voluntary work that is all the more praiseworthy because it is carried out so unobtrusively. This department of school life, no less than others, offers abundant scope for fulfilling that worthy school tradition of " Service before Self."

GLEAMS AND FLASHES.

    A fine show of choice varieties of iris was to be seen in the
School grounds during the early weeks of the summer. For this
we hare to thank Sir Mark Collett, who presented the roots to
the School.

—:—

    We are to be further indebted to the Kent Education Com-
mittee for additions and improvements to the School buildings,
including a new “English” book store and six or seven shower
1)aths as an addition to the gymnasium.

—:—

    We were pleased to welcome, on Friday, 17±h July, some
members of the Dover Elementary Education Committee and
Head Teachers of Dover Schools, who inspected the gymnasium
and witnessed a display of physical training by selected teams of
junior and senior boys.

—:—

    We are grateful to R. G. Jeffery, an Old Boy, who remem-
bered the School when in foreign parts and sent us an interesting
set of postcards of Malaya.

—:—

    On Midsummer Day a large party from Forms II. and III.
visited London. The morning was spent at the Tower, the
afternoon at the Temple, Westminster Hall and Abbey. The
School is indebted to Sir Waldron Smithers, M.P., who, at the
invitation of Maj or Astor, gave an interesting talk on West-
minster Hall and St. Stephen’s Chapel, and then took the party
on the celebrated terrace of the House of Commons.

—:—

    We understand that on a recent Wednesday afternoon there
were over two hundred p~ople, including players and spectators,
present on the School playing fields, while House matches were
in progress—evidence of the keenness with which the new
scheme for School games is being carried out.

—:—

    School tennis has been started this term as an experiment,
which seems to have been successful. A match, Boys v. Staff,
was played on 20th July; the boys showed good form, but the
greater experience of the Staff gave the latter the victory.

—:—

    We thank the many boys who sent in articles for this issue,
and regret that our space is too limited to print more than a
few. Forms Upper IV., Middle III. and Upper II. were especially
well represented. The best of the unpublished contributions
were by M. Compton, D. Roberts and W. W. Robson.

—:—

    We have again to thank Mr. C. S. Harris for permission to
publish the Cricket Team photograph.

LINO PRINTS.

    Ever since Caxton printed his first wood cuts at 'Westminster the print has been a source of delight. Wood was then the only medium for block making. But now linoleum, rubber, or even sliced potato are used for the purpose.
The block gives infinite scope for decoration and ingenuity
and has a quality of its own not found in any other medium. There is a limitation in the technique of block cutting which far from detracting, enhances the decoratiye quality of th~ design which must be suited to the medium for successful results.
    The production of a good lino print inyolves much patient work as well as originality in design and technique, First a telling composition is thought out and reduced on paper to black and white. This (reyersed) is then traced onto the block and again inked in ready for the cutting: all parts to be left white in the print are then cut out, the tools used haYing their appropriate influence on the final result, As the craftsman becomes more proficient, the influence of the tool will be more marked in the print,
    A few examples of original lino prints (reduced to about qnarter size) are to be found in the pages of the :i\lagazine.

VILLAGES OF EAST KENT.

    This beautiful quarter of Kent abounds with small villages of historical interest and rural charm. The traveller in this district cannot go far without discovering leafy parks and Norman churches which have withstood the weather and the ravages of centuries. Two of the finest examples of such churches are to be found at Barfreston and Patrixbourne, both of which have curiously carved gargoyles under the eaves. Paddlesworth, the highest village in East Kent has a local doggerel "Highest church, Lowest steeple, Smallest parish, Poorest people."
    The village inn used to rejoice in the name of "The Cat and Custard-Pot," but it is now called "The Red Lion." However, the rustics still refer to the tavern as "The Cat." Speaking of inns, it is curious the way the country people always direct the inquirer by way of the public houses. I was once directed as follows:-" Turn down by the 'Sun' and take the first turning on the right past the 'Palm Tree,' which leads to the 'George and Dragon'."
    Several small places have similar names, such as Nackington and Hackington, one each side of Canterbury. The word "Street” is very common, found in Solestreet, Hassel Street, Watsole Street, Ham Street and Street End. On the Little Stour, which rises near Lyminge, are four hamlets ending in "bourne,” Bishopsbourne, Patrixbourne, Bekesbourne and Littlebourne. The first of these is noted for Archbishop Hooker and his "Ecclesiastical Polity,” and for the well-known novelist Joseph Conrad.
    So varied is Kentish scenery, that one would hardly think it lay between such limited boundaries. On Romney Marsh are found great expanses of shingle and wonderful sheep-pastures, whilst at Dover the “white cliffs of England” are very well known. Pegwell Bay is a large desolate area of sand and mud, and on the other hand there are green undulating parks inland. Olantigh Park near Wye affords many pleasant walks along magnificent avenues.
    Fordwich, the ancient "Port of Canterbury” has a most interesting old Town Hall, one of the smallest and oldest in England, complete with "ducking-stool” and formidable looking policeman’s baton. This “town” used to be famous for “Fordidge trout,” caught in the slow-flowing Stour.
    One could linger long in Kent, coming across almost hidden villages, which seem hardly touched by “progress,” except for the continuous telegraph wires.
