  • Launceston-And-Districts-Fallen-From-Both-World-Wars..Pdf
    This is not a complete record of all those that fell during the two wars, with some of the fallen having no information available whatsoever. However there are 222 names from within the district that I have been able to provide a narrative for and this booklet hopefully will provide a lasting memory for future generations to view and understand the lives behind the names on the various memorials around Launceston. It has not been easy piecing together the fragments of information particularly from the first world war where many records were destroyed in the blitz of the second world war, but there are many resources now available that do make the research a little easier. Hopefully over time the information that is lack- ing in making this a complete story will be discovered and I can bring all the re- cords up to date. Of course there have been many people that have helped and I would like to thank Peter Bailey, Claudine Malaquin, Dennis Middleton, Jim Edwards, Martin Kel- land, Grant Lethbridge Morris and Michael Willis for their invaluable help in compiling this homage plus the resources that are freely available at Launceston Library. My hope is that the people will find this a fascinating story to all these souls that bravely gave their lives in the service of their country and that when we come to remember them at the various remembrance services, we will actually know who they were.

  • Outdoor Education: Its Origins and Institutionalisation in Schools with Particular Reference to the West Riding of Yorkshire Since 1945
    Outdoor Education: Its origins and institutionalisation in schools with particular reference to the West Riding of Yorkshire since 1945 Lynn Cook Submitted in accordance with the requirements for the degree of PhD The University of Leeds School of Education July 2000 The candidate confirms that the work is her own and that appropriate credit has been given where reference has been made to the work of others. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I should like to express my thanks to Professor E. W. Jenkins of the School of Education for his supervision throughout the period of study. His comments on the numerous drafts and his constructive suggestions as to the approach and style of the study greatly assisted me in bringing this study to its present form. I am thankful to all the people who gave their time so willingly and helped me in obtaining the necessary information for my study. Finally thanks are due to my husband Sam, my family, friends and colleagues without whose patience and faith in me this study would not have been completed. ABSTRACT This thesis offers an account of the origins and institutionalisation of outdoor education with particular reference to the West Riding of Yorkshire since 1945. It begins by describing what was understood by the term 'outdoor education' in the period from about 1890 to 1944 and relates this to its political, social and educational determinants. It then draws upon this broad, national account to focus attention on the origins and institutionalisation of outdoor education in the West Riding since 1945. Through an account of Bewerley Park, first as a camp school and later as an outdoor pursuits centre, the thesis explores how, under the influence of Alec Clegg, outdoor education was used by the West Riding to mitigate social and economic inequalities.

  • Independence and Freedom
    The Last Lap: Independence and Freedom r"$' IThe title of this chapter really says it all: what mattered most in attaining independence was that this ushered in experimental years of internal freedom. Many ex-colonies - too many - obtained independence and became unfit to live in, producing refugees by the thousand. That certainly did not happen in Borg Olivier's Malta.1 By 1969 emigration reached rock bottom, return migration grew, settlers came to Malta from overseas. The economy boomed, creating problems of a different kind in its wake. But these were not so much problems of freedom as of economic well-being and learning to live together and to pull through: there was no repression whatsoever.1 On the contrary the MLP criticism (and a popular joke) was this: tgliajjatx gliax tqajjem il-gvem! Government became rather inconspicuous, unobtrusive, intruding only perhaps by a certain apathy, as well as increasingly a lagging commitment on the part of Borg Olivier's ageing team, especially after 1969. Borg Olivier himself, having attained independence, was no longer at his prime, and his unfortunate private and family foibles did nothing to enhance his delivery. In spite of all that, the election result in 1971 was a very close shave indeed. The Nationalist Party, in government since 1962, did not even have a daily newspaper until 1970, on the eve of the election! By contrast the GWU daily L-Orizzont, started in 1962, and other pro-MLP organs lambasted the Borg 230 Malta's Quest for Independence Olivier administration constantly, and frequently enough, mercilessly. 1970 also saw the use of the GWU strike as a full-scale political weapon when dockyard workers were ordered to strike for months, disrupting the island's major industry mainly on the issue of flexibility.
