ST. HUGH'S COLLEGE COUNCIL, 1912-13. During the past year, the main subject of interest in the Council has been the acquisition of a site upon which in the future it is hoped that new buildings will be erected for the College. As all students past and present know, the site has now been bought, and an Appeal Committee of the Council formed. This committee consists of the President, Treasurer, Secretary, Principal, and VicePrincipal, and its work has been to draft an appeal (which has been sent to many friends and to all old students) and to make the needs of the College known. The report will be laid before the College in the autumn. Among other subjects that have come before the Council, have been the issue of certificates to students (a) who have taken Honours ; (b) who have done so under conditions as to standing, etc., identical with those imposed on men. These forms of certificate have been carefully drawn up, and the latter (for the Degree course) is identical in meaning, and almost in wording, in all the five Recognized Societies. It may interest those engaged in preparing girls for University Scholarships to know that it is now possible for a candidate applying for St. Hugh's and Lady Margaret, or both, to be a candidate for the Somerville Scholarships at the same time. The experiment was tried this year with success, and it is to be repeated in 1914. Of last year's members of Council, Mrs. Thompson resigned the Honorary Secretaryship when she left Oiford, to the deep regret of everyone who had worked with her. Mrs. Fisher has resigned her Tutorship, and also her place on She Council, in consequence of Mr. Fisher's appointment to Sheffield. She has helped the College in both ways for many years, and will be much missed. Miss Deneke, too, has resigned her Tutorship and place on the Council on her appointment as Domestic Bursar and Tutor in German to Lady Margaret Hall. The Council expressed through the Chairman their regret at her leaving, and their thanks to her for having given her help to the College. This was cordially responded to by those who knew how kindly she had come to fill a post at a time of great need, when Miss Wardale gave up residing in College. We are sorry, too, to lose Miss Rice as a member of Council, on account of the distance of St. Anne's from Oxford. Mr. Rait, too, has resigned, and has since been appointed to a Professorship at Glasgow. In their places we have welcomed Miss Greenwood as Honorary Secre-


12 tary ; Professor Adams, Miss Ady, Mr. A. J. Jenkinson, Miss Kirkaldy, and Miss Powell as members of Council. The Council has also approved the appointment of Miss E. M. Thomas as Tutor in German and Librarian. She took her Schools this year after extremely short preparation, and an absence through illness from which we are glad to see she has recovered, and is preparing to take her Ph.D. at Zurich. The Library Committee has been reconstituted by the addition of all the Tutors to the Committee, and by limiting the number of representatives of the Council to one.

MINUTES. The 23rd General Meeting of the Club was held at 3.3o p.m. on October 5, 1912, at 2 Cambridge Gate, by kind permission of Mrs. Deneke. Miss Jourdain presided. I. The Minutes of the last Meeting were read and signed. II. The Club Accounts for the past year were read and accepted. III. The following motion was proposed by Miss Bazeley and seconded by Miss Crick :—" That Mrs. Thompson be invited to become an Honorary Member of the Club." It was carried unanimously. IV. A motion was then proposed by Miss Tudor, seconded by Miss Godwin :—" That in future the Elections shall take place at the April Meeting, and therefore that the financial year shall begin in April." After some discussion the following amendment was proposed and carried :—" That the Elections shall take place in future in October instead of in June." V. A motion was then proposed by Miss Bazeley and seconded by Miss Godwin :—" That in response to the appeal of the Treasurer of St. Hugh's College, the members of the Club unite in starting an Endowment Fund for the College ; and that a SubCommittee be appointed to collect the money and to draw up a scheme with the Treasurer of the College." After a good deal of discussion the motion was carried, Miss Bowen-Colthurst proposing and Miss Cunynghame seconding, that the words, "with freedom to co-opt " be added to the motion.


13 VI. The following were then elected members of the Sub-Committee .—Misses Moberly, Bazeley, Dobbs, Godwin, Prideaux. VII. The Election of Officers next took place :—Miss Moberly (President) ; Miss Jourdain and Miss Wardale (Vice-Presidents); Miss Dobbs (Secretary); Miss Willans (Treasurer) ; Miss Todd (Editor). VIII. There were present :—Miss Jourdain (Vice-President), Miss Tudor (Secretary), Miss Godwin (Treasurer), Misses Ady, Bazeley, Bebb, Bowen-Colthurst, Cooke, Crick, Cunynghame, Deneke, Dobbs, Dodwell, Douglas, Duggan, Eppstein, Hill, Knipe, Middleton, M. Roechling, E. Roechling, Sprules, Tew, Turner, Willans.

The 24th General Meeting of St. Hugh's Club was held at St. Hugh's Hall on Saturday, April 19, at 3 p.m., Miss Moberly (President) in the chair. I. In the absence of the Secretary, the Minutes of the last meeting were read by Miss Cunynghame (Com. Member) and adopted. II. The Treasurer's Statement of Accounts was then read in her absence by Miss Cunynghame (Corn. Member). This gave rise to some discussion in connection with the Memorial Tablet, Miss Jourdain pointing out that the cost of the Tablet was not really covered by the eighteen guineas mentioned, and that there still remained a deficit ; she therefore suggested that a further grant should be asked for from the Treasurer's balance in hand towards wiping out this deficit. A short discussion ensued, and finally the following motion, proposed by Miss Jourdain and seconded by Miss Rice, was put to the meeting and passed unanimously—viz., That if it can be afforded from the sum in the Treasurer's hands, the debt on the Memorial Tablet shall be paid off." III. Report of Endowment Fund Committee.—Miss Moberly pointed out that in connection with this a little point of order arose in the fact that the Report had not been formally passed by the Committee itself, but that this was no doubt only an oversight, and that therefore it would be best, it being of much general interest, to read the Report as intended. In the absence of all members of the Committee except herself, she therefore asked Miss Deneke to read the Report. This was accordingly done, and gave rise to some interesting and rather important discussion.


14 Miss Moberly pointed out that the scheme had been started before the new College scheme was much known or talked about ; but that it was felt that the Fund would be valuable as one into which any amounts, however small, could at any moment be paid. Miss Rice then raised the question of the meaning of " Endowment " in connection with the Fund, asking whether such a title precluded the spending of the caj5ital as well as the interest on any purpose, such as the building scheme now on hand. She pointed out that this was really important, as she, and no doubt others keenly interested in the new College scheme, were very anxious that any contribution sent to the Fund should not be debarred from being employed in this way ; and that, generally speaking, the word " endowment " carried with it an idea of a permanent fund, of which the interest only was touched. A lively discussion on this point took place, and the Meeting was asked if it wished that the money being collected should be given to the Building Fund ; on the vote being taken, it expressed itself unanimous in favour of such a use. Finally, after some further discussion, the general feeling of the Meeting on the subject was formulated in a motion proposed by Miss Rice, seconded by Miss Knipe, and passed unanimously, " That the Committee be asked to inquire into the title ' Endowment,' and to alter it if it precluded the spending of the capital." IV. A motion was proposed by Miss Ady, seconded by Miss Southwell, " That Miss Koellreuter become a member of the St. Hugh's Club." Miss Jourdain explained to those who did not know her, that Miss Koellreuter had been at St. Hugh's for a term, and was much interested in the College, and the motion was voted on and passed unanimously. This terminated the proceedings. [N. B.—The Editor would ask any Secretaries or Treasurers of the Club or of its Committees who are unable to be present at general Club or Committee meetings, kindly to notify the fact as early as possible to the President of the Club, or to the Chairman of the Committee, and to send her their minutes and reports.]


15 ST. HUGH'S CLUB COLLEGE ENDOWMENT FUND. THE fund was started by the Club at the Club Meeting in October, 1912. It has since been decided that the money collected shall be used for a particular part of the new buildings. Meanwhile, the satisfactory result of the first few months' collecting should encourage everyone to renew her efforts to the utmost to increase the fund, before building is begun.

FINANCIAL STATEMENT. In spite of the lamentable fact that several members are still heavily in arrears with their subscriptions, the Club accounts continue to show a cheerfully increasing balance, owing to the number of new members who join each year. The following accounts for 1911-12 were read at the April Meeting in Oxford, when it was gratifying to discover that the Club would be able to pay off the remaining debt on the Memorial Tablet without any further delay. Many thanks to all who have contributed towards the Memorial Tablet Fund.

L. M. WILLANS, Treasurer. UNPAID SUBSCRIPTIONS. The number of unpaid subscriptions is only decreased by one, in spite of the new rule formed at the 22nd General Meeting in April, 1912, " That after this year no CLUB PAPER be sent to those members who are more than two years in arrears with their subscriptions," and the list of those members, which was published in last year's CLUB PAPER. A list is now printed for the second time ; the year given is that when the last subscription was paid :Abbott, A. M., 1905: Bell, A., 1907 ; Watson, Mrs. Fairlie, 1909 ; Langston, Mrs. S. H., 1905 ; Mitchell, W. J. de L., 1905 ; Ottley, M. I. M., 1906 ; Robb, A., 1905 ; Roberts, Mrs. C. L. D., 1909 ; Visick, Mrs., 1908 ; Yates, Mrs., 1908. May the Treasurer remind these members that the subscription is is. 6d. per annum until the year 1922 in their cases ; an alternative payment being their arrears up to and including the year 1911-12, plus eleven shillings—by which alternative payment they may become life-members at once without any further payment ? Any member may, however, pay off her arrears gradually. The following subscriptions (is. 6d.) are still due for the year 1912-13, which closes in October :— Bebb, G. ; Bickmore, L. ; Cooke, J.; Crick, M. B. ; Davis, A. ; Douglas, J. ; Edwards, G. ; Homer, W. ; Marriott, Mrs. ; Moberly, M. A. ; Moore, D. ; Payan-Dawnay, Mrs. ; Pym, J. ; de Reyes, M. ; Richardson, Mrs. ; Shuttleworth, M. A. ; Simpson, M. L. ; Simpson, J. ; Stinton, C. M. ; Thompson, M. E. E.; Tugwell, J. ; Willett, G. ; Willson, Mrs. L. M. WILLANS, Treasurer.


17 ST. HUGH'S DINNER. On the eve of St. Hugh's Day, twelve Old Students of the College dined together at the University Women's Club, where arrangements for their entertainment had been made by Miss Hedley, Miss Dodwell, and Miss Duggan, who kindly undertook to act as hostesses for the occasion. Lively accounts of present history and reminiscences of the past were exchanged, and there were many enquiries after absent friends. Eager discussions were held as to the best means of making so successful an institution more widely known. It was suggested that, while it is perhaps impossible for the majority of Old Students, not living in London, to be present, all members of the Club who are likely to be able to attend should communicate beforehand with one of the three representatives (Miss Bird, Miss Hammonds, and Miss Hough), who will make the arrangements for next year, and send out notices of the time and place of meeting. During the evening the greetings of the assembly were sent to the present members of the College ; and a vote of thanks to the hostesses, proposed by Miss Sprules, was carried with applause.

THE FEDERATION OF UNIVERSITY WOMEN. It may interest members of St. Hugh's Club to know that a branch of this Federation is now being formed at Oxford, Miss Jamison, Lady Margaret Hall, having kindly consented to act as Secretary. This will mean that we shall welcome to the Oxford Branch graduates of other Universities who may be living in Oxford, as well as old Students who have taken the Second Public Examination (Pass or Honours) at Oxford. It would strengthen the-work of the Federation as a whole if old Students living at a distance from their own University would join the nearest Local Branch, and thus keep in touch with subjects of general educational importance upon which the Federation is sometimes asked to express a corporate opinion. The General Meeting of the Federation was held this year at Newnham College, Cambridge, and was attended by delegates from a large number of British Universities. Mrs. Sidgwick, the retiring President, has greatly helped the Federation in its initial stages, and received the warm thanks of the Committee and delegates. At the Business Meeting on Saturday, June 14, the question of qualifications for admission was under discussion ; and it was decided


18 that after 1911 a member of the Federation from Oxford must have taken the Second Public Examination in Pass or Honours. I shall be very glad to give further particulars of the Federation to any member of St. Hugh's Club ; and Miss Jamison, Lady Margaret Hall, would be glad to receive the names of anyone qualified to join the Oxford Branch, in order that she may invite her to become a member. ELEANOR F. JOURDAIN, Lice-President of the Federation of University Women.

OLD STUDENTS' SCHOLARSHIP FUND. REPORT. The most interesting event in the history of the Old Students' Scholarship this year is Miss Ibberson's First in French. Miss Ibberson is the first Old Students' Scholar who has taken the full Degree Course, so we have every reason to be proud of her. The new Scholar is Miss Eleanor Nicholas, of Clapham High School, who will come into residence in October. She is taking the Degree Course with History as her Final School, and has already passed Responsions. The financial position of the Fund is satisfactory. As will be seen, we close the 1912 account with a Balance of Z.4 4s. rid. exclusive of the Capital Fund. Subscriptions for 1913 amount at present to ,428 6s. 6d., so that we have already sufficient in hand to pay the Scholarship in October, in spite of the long list of arrears which are shown below. The Treasurer's work has been greatly lightened owing to the new Secretary having undertaken to collect the subscriptions. Will those subscribers who have not already paid for 1913 kindly do so to her (Miss Crichton, 18, Rotton Park Road, Edgbaston), or the Treasurer, CECILIA M. ADY. BALANCE SHEET, 1912. RECEIPTS.

20 LOW SUNDAY AT ST. PAUL'S. Some Club members have asked for a notice reminding everyone of the tradition of making Low Sunday a St. Hugh's Sunday in our thoughts and prayers, and of attending the Holy Communion Service after Morning Prayer at St. Paul's on that day if possible. There are so many Club members in London at present that we ought to be able to muster a large gathering easily, and last year's small attendance seems to have been greatly due to the fact that many of the younger generation did not know of the tradition. May we meet in large numbers next year.

26 SENIOR STUDENT'S LETTER. DEAR OLD STUDENTS,—One is half afraid that, reading this letter as you have read its predecessors, you may be tempted to quote the noble pentameter of a recent Eights week poem, and say, " It seems to me I've heard it all before." In truth, Oxford has not greatly altered since you went down—" still on her spire the pigeons hover ; still by her gateway haunts the gown." The trams have struck, but no motor or electric thing has superseded them. Magdalen Barge was unduly crowded by loyal subjects, but otherwise Eights were very much the same as usual, and New College "kept head." Certain of the lecturers whom you have heard continue to give the self-same lectures in their College-halls ; and, to come to our private concerns, College meetings and societies, work in the study, and picnics on the Cher, still go on in the time-honoured way. Yet, after all, it is an eventful monotony ; and in this year in particular important things have happened to St. Hugh's. Miss Deneke leaves us to join the Senior Common Room of Lady Margaret Hall. This is not the place to express our thanks to her and appreciation of her services to the College. All who have been " up " since she took charge of the House will be able to supply those feelings for themselves. Our very best wishes go with her. We welcome another Old Student, Miss E. M. Thomas, to the Hostel, and know that she will not feel a stranger there. As last year we became a College by constitution, so this year we are on the way to having a college architecturally. As many of you will have heard, the Council have succeeded in obtaining a fine site in the Banbury Road, opposite Park Town. When this was first announced, members of St. Hugh's were to be seen casually strolling round outside the estate with an air of proprietorship. When visitors now are being shown round the Hall, you hear, " This room is the Library— Of course when we build we shall have a proper Library. Oh yes . . . and a Dining Hall," etc. etc. The air over the Mount must be thick with castles. We hope speedy success will attend the financial work that must be done before they can materialise. The recording of these events has delayed other important news. We hasten to congratulate two members of the French School who have brought us honour—M. R. B. Shaw, who earlier in the year won the Modern Language Prize, and has now obtained a First with Distinction in Spoken French ; and D. Ibberson, who has also gained a First in French. The fourteen new members of the Club have succeeded ably in


27 keeping up the reputation of the First Year for energy and dramatic talent. Five are reading French and five History ; there are three for English and one for Honour Mods. ; ten of them are taking the Degree course. We have had on the whole a very successful year in Games. The Cup matches were intensely exciting, and though we lost the Cup, it was an honourable defeat. The Tennis Cup remains with us, and Miss de Putron and Miss Lawson Lewis have distinguished themselves in the O.S.L.T.C., and assisted in the victory over Cambridge at the end of term. Moreover, a new Cup of great magnificence adorns our mantelpiece—the inter-University Lacrosse Cup, which was played for and won by Oxford in the Hilary term. St. Hugh's provides next year's captain, Miss Potts. As usual in the summer, interest in the river has been very keen • a large number of new members have qualified, and there has been an improvement in boating style. Let us hope that you do not depend on this Magazine to keep you abreast of " Oxford movements," for time would fail to tell you all the causes that have organized meetings in the University this year —Suffrage and Anti-Suffrage, Social work of all kinds, Missionary societies, the Workers' Educational, the Student Christian Movement, and very many more. This very brief outline of St. Hugh's year 1912-13 would be worse than misleading if it was not that it will be read by people who can reconstruct from their own experience, and give colour and life to the bare phrases that try to describe the contents of that indescribable thing, a year at Oxford. L. V. SOUTHWELL.

Postcards from Old Students. Bedford College, W. I am now a Lecturer in the Training Department of Bedford College for

Modern Languages, and like the work very much. It is delightful—if one has to live in London—to be in a park ; and our new buildings in Regent's Park are really fine ; while, if one is careful where one looks, one might think oneself in the country, so grand are our trees I gave up my work at Southbourne last July, and had a two-terms' holiday, mostly abroad, which was a great joy—Paris, South of France, and Saxony. My spare time is now taken up with " exchanging " children abroad ; it sounds odd, but is really quite harmless !—F. M. S. BATCHELOR. 26, Gunter Grove, Chelsea, S.W. Two years ago I went to British Columbia, where I met and married my husband, who was brought up a little over a mile from me, but whom I never met as a child. I came here a year ago last March, after spending the winter in a tent in the mountains, with a temperature somewhere about zero. We were eleven miles from a store, and had to ride into town about once in three weeks for supplies, which we carried in sacks slung on our horses. Our little girl was born last July, and is the picture of health and energy. We find she is much more trouble to look after than the colt which we had in British Columbia ; but then she is even more charming than he was. My husband is going in for singing professionally, and has a part in The Waltz Dream, on the road from August to December, and as I cannot take the baby round I shall have to be a grasswidow again, and shall be very glad to see any St. Hugh's people who will take pity on me.—LILIAN BENTLEY. Enmore, Stonehill Road, East Sheen. We have moved over to East Sheen, near London, since last summer, from Ireland, where I have been till then ever since I was married. Peggy, my sisterin-law, lives with us in term-time, which is nice, though the hours at Bedford College are very long compared with Oxford ! I have three children—two girls and a boy—who keep me busy.—WINIFRED BOWEN-COLTHURST. 2, Cambridge Gate, N.W. My chief news is a change of address. In October I shall have moved to Lady Margaret Hall as Bursar and German Tutor. It is horrid saying goodbye to St. Hugh's as a resident, but my one consolation is that I shall remain near, and be able to keep in close touch and as accessible to all of us as before. Our'Senior Common Rooms at Oxford are becoming more and more of a family party. We already have one member of St. Hugh's at St. Hilda's, and shall have another at Lady Margaret Hall ; there is a member of Lady Margaret Hall at St. Hilda's, too, while the interchange between Lady Margaret Hall and Somerville seems to be constant. Still, I don't know what I shall do when the Cup Match between St. Hugh's and Lady Margaret Hall is played ; I am afraid 1 shall have to leave Oxford for the day.—H. C. DENEKE.


29 The Grammar School, Bradford. I have just come home from Western Canada, where I have spent a very interesting year at the University of Alberta. I took my degree there, and at the same time did some work with the women students. I expect to be at home for a time now, but I hope to return to the West, under a different name and in less lonely circumstances.—M. A. KEELING. Quainton, near Aylesbury. 1 have just opened my second Montessori class in England, and am more than ever absorbed in the work. I have fifteen little children ; the average age is three and a half—just right for the experiment. The ordinary baby-room in the village school has been turned into a Montessori classroom. The numbers are increasing • the parents have been won over, and the opposition amongst the people is almost a thing of the past. Some day, we hope, the ideal will be realized, and a Montessori atmosphere pervade the whole school.—Yours sincerely, E. M. LIDBETTER. St. Stephen's High School, Clewer, Windsor. In a single week-end I leapt from the penitential stool of schools to the elevated dais of H.M. It has taken me a year to decide whether I had leapt from the frying-pan into the fire, or vice versa there is so much to be said on both sides. The victim of interviews, I became the relentless interviewer, with feelings all too delicate for use, whereas my sympathy for the examiners over whom I had to preside was too deep for words. The day of ordeal is not over ! Two Prize•givings have fallen to my lot already. A few days after the first, I found a prodigious envelope with the Oxford post-mark awaiting me in the big schoolroom. Some instinct of discretion kept me from opening it before some hundred-and-forty pupils and a staff including a friend from St. Hugh's. In the privacy of my office I found it to be the certificate of the A.E.W., which was hastily put under lock and key.—M. J. PORCHER (with apologies). Dodderhill Vicarage, Droitwich. I have just given up teaching my brother's children, which has been my work for the last ten years, and am going to-day to Malvern, to be received as a postulant in the Community of the Holy Name. Will you please note my new address for the Club Paper, which I hope still to receive ?—H. PRICE, Convent of the Holy Name, Malvern Link. St. Saviour's and St. Olave's, Southwark. I am still working in Southwark, and in the same school as Miss Eppstein. Thanks to the Endowment Fund Committee, I have recently spent two delightful afternoons at St. Hugh's. In connection with the same, Miss Bazeley also arranged a very successful gathering at Whitelands College, so that I rejoice at being more in touch with Oxford than usual.—E. M. C. PRIDEAUX. St. Anne's, Abbots Bromley, Rugeley. I have no news to tell you. I am still here, and hope to remain so ! We were pleased that we won an Open Scholarship to St. Hugh's (History) this year. We are building a large new wing on to the School House.—M. A. RICE. Haywood Lodge, Park Hill, Clapham Park. I am still teaching Science at the Lewisham Grammar School. Life is very exciting. We have started a miniature Zoo for the education of the Kinder. garten and the Kindergarten students. The other day a newt escaped. Those who do not love crawling animals still go in fear lest he should cross their path. My work consists mostly in coaching students and in preparing for Oxford Local Examinations.—LILY C. ROGERS. —


30 St. Michael's Hall, Brighton. I have just received your postcard, and am very busy indeed, as I have decided to leave Brighton and go to Seaford next term ; having spent seven years in this big town, I long after country pleasures. Some of my girls are coming with me, and the others are remaining with my successors here. Last Saturday we had our Sports Day, which was a great success, as the weather was glorious. Twelve of the Old Girls came for the week-end, and were much interested to hear of our contemplated move. Now we are busy getting ready for the Prize-giving and our Annual Bazaar. My new address will be, " St. Michaels, Seaford." I enclose subscription, los., for the Magazine.— Yours sincerely, JULIA SIMPSON. The County Secondary School, Truro. This is my fifth year at the Truro County School, where I still enjoy life as English and Form V. mistress, and make the most of the lovely country round.— G. M. SHELLY. The Filberts, Calcot, Reading. Last Christmas I gave up my work, as I was needed at home. We are now living close to Reading, and within easy bicycling distance of the river, which is a great joy. This term I have been teaching a girl who, strange to relate, quite thirsts for knowledge ; but that does not prevent me from longing for the holidays !—E. M. A. SNOWDON. Norman Place, King's Road, Guernsey. I was married last August, and have been living here ever since, having a glorious time. My name is no longer Tree, but Stinton. Guernsey is a very beautiful place, especially in the summer.—M. STINTON. Gemeindeste, Zurich. I have spent a very pleasant year in Switzerland, ostensibly studying for my Ph.D., though two flying visits to England in three months have sadly interfered with regular work. We are very industrious here, though ; lectures begin at 8 a.m. in winter and 7 a.m. in summer. A term lasts nearly five months, and the Long Vacation is not due until August 2. I have thoroughly enjoyed seeing the methods of a foreign University, but at the same time shall be quite ready to return to the familiar ways of Oxford next October.—E. M. THOMAS. I I, Guildford Road, Brighton. After leaving Oxford I rested for nearly two years. During that time I took a great interest in social subjects, and in September, 19r r, started a course of training in social work, taking the certificate of the London School of Sociology the following July. After a temporary post in London for a few weeks, I was appointed Secretary to the Brighton Branch of the Charity Organization Society last November. I am enjoying the work very much indeed. The area to be covered is much larger than a district in London, as it includes Kemp Town, Preston, Hove, and Aldrington, as well as Brighton ; but it is possible to cycle when visiting, and it is very nice to get sea-views, though I have very little time to go near the sea. My office, i r, Guildford Road, is only a minute's walk from the Central Station, and I should be delighted to see anyone from St. Hugh's who is visiting Brighton. -MARY TUDOR. City of London School for Girls. I have no exciting news to send to the Club Paper, as I am still teaching in the City of London School for Girls. The work of one year is much like that of another ; but to those concerned in it, each has its own interests and possibilities. —J. E. TURNER.


31 18, Trinity Road, Bootle, Lancs. I have been very happy in my school work this last year. The Bootle Secondary is just completing its third year of existence, and we are going to celebrate the event by holding our first Speech Day on July 18, for which there are great preparations. I have had the top middle Form this year—mostly Scholarship children, but very keen little workers. Last summer I spent one week at the Shakespeare Festival at Stratford, and thoroughly enjoyed it. During the Easter holidays I had a delightful week in London with Hilda 'Woodman, meeting several old friends. In conclusion, I will just mention the fact that my school days are coming to an end, as I am to be married in October. My future home will be in Bradford, Yorks—the scene of my early life.—ErHEL VAUX. Secondary School for Girls, Peterborough. Dear Editor,—I do not think I have much fresh news to relate. I have been in Peterborough now four years, and still like my work very much. It is certainly much nicer to be non-resident if one has introductions to friends, which I have fortunately had • but I think some people find the first year or two in rooms very lonely. The place has its drawbacks, but its chief chaim lies in its being a centre for most interesting architectural study. We have a branch here now of the Empire Guild of Teachers, which makes a special point of up-to-date Bible study, which should be very helpful.—F. WARD. Burlington School, W. I have no changes to record. Burlington School still claims most of my time and energy, and the seven years since my appointment here have passed very quickly. In case May Wyld does not write, some of her friends may like to know she was home from India for six weeks this Spring—almost too busy to see anyone—and she hopes to come again soon and stay longer.—M. E. WIGG. 63, Primrose Mansions, Prince of Wales Road, S.W. Since last September I have been at St. Denys College, Warminster—a college for the training of missionaries. The training includes practice in domestic work, laundry, church needlework, lectures, and—most interesting—six weeks' insight into district nursing in Poplar. This is the syllabus of instruction in the Prospectus ! I find the essence of the life—its happiness and its necessity—are indescribable ; they can only be realized by experience. In October, probably, I am going out to Lahore, to teach there in a school for English and Eurasians, under the Society of St. Hilda.—Affectionately yours, MAY WILSON. 4, Regency House, Regency Street, Westminster. I fear 1 have nothing exciting 'in the way of news to send to the Paper. I am still at the Grey Coat, where I have been since 1908. This summer another mistress and I hope to take some of the big girls over to France for a fortnight. I do hope we have fine weather and a really nice time. We have been once before from School, two years ago, and then we went to Dieppe, Rouen, and Paris ; this time we hoc e to go to Parame, near St. Malo, and do excursions to Mont St. Michel, Dinard, Dinar', etc. I saw Ethel Vaux at Easter ; she is to be married this autumn.—HILDA WOODMAN. The Brow, Combe Down, Bath. If not too late, please give greetings to all St. Hugh's students, but especially to those of 1889-189o. Tell them " Gorey" still endeavours to rest for twentyfour hours a day, though occasionally interrupted by her family and household. Her intimate knowledge of Greek is her chief asset !—EDITH H. DAUBENY. Redlynch Vicarage, Salisbury. Home—Parish—and four boys under nine years do not leave me much leisure to read or think; but that, I hope, I shall arrive at later. I still rejoice to live in such a delightful spot as the New Forest ; there is no place like it, unless it is the English Lakes. Best wishes from—AGNES WILLSON.
