In the recent midsummer examination, held under the auspices of the Northern Universities, the School was very successful. Thirty-one gained the Higher School Certificate, and 162 gained the School Certificate, of whom 104 passed the Matriculation examination. We believe this constitutes a record in the School's history.

Owing to the large number of prefects who left at the end of last term, twenty new ones have been appointed. They are :— B. Hyman, J. H. Whitehead, F. Bamford, F. E. Harrison, and G. E. P. Cox, of the Classical Sixth; A. H. Crothers, E. Fuchs, and T. j. Tonge, of the Mathematical Sixth; E. Parrish, C. B. Taylor, J. Gibson, A. L. Wood, and S. A. Wrood, of the Science Sixth ; G. T. Bayley, F. C. Fletcher, V. Morgan, L. Pott, and A. P. Kirsop, of the Modern Sixth; and J. Scragg and A. W.- Todd, of the History Sixth.

The sub-editors of Ulula for the year are : F. Turner, N. Wilson, and J. Scragg.

In a letter recently received from Lord Weardale, chairman of the "Save the Children" Fund, he says:—"The splendid collection from your School, amounting to nearly £50, and the proceeds of three concerts, which bring the total to over £100, are a very valuable gift. We should like to thank all who have contributed to these splendid results." I IO O.M.A. NOTES AND O.M. CHRONICLE.

Sir Edward Donner, Bart. Deputy Chairman of the Governors. (Communicated.) " My boy is going- into business. What in the world is the use, I should like to know, of his learning your Latin and Greek? As for going up to Oxford, it simply means that he won't begin at the Petty Cash until he is 22." Of such talk Sir Edward is the standing refutation. He learned Latin and Greek, he took Classical Honours at Oxford, and he stands to-day as one of the leading business men of Man- chester and the noblest of her great citizens. The " chapter of accidents " (though I doubt whether that is the right name for it) brought him to Manchester straight from Corpus, Oxford, and the friendship of such men as Prof. Dicey and Lord Bryce. He set himself to- study the cotton trade with the same thorough- ness as he had studied the humaner letters withal. " There is no work uninteresting," he says, " if you put your back and your mind into< it." The warehouse was a very different proposition from what he had forecast for himself, but he put his back and his mind into it, and before long there was no operation in con- nection with the warehouse which he did not understand both in theory and practice. So much for his vocation in the narrower sense of the word; but there is for every business man a higher vocation—the vocation of citizenship. It is ii> the fulfilment of this vocation that Sir Edward Donner has won the regard and affection of the whole community. In particular he has devoted himself to higher education. The University has had no better friend and supporter. Professors and servants, the Council and the Students' Union, alike look to him for counsel and help. It is always at their service for any good object. Sir Edward is our Deputy-Chairman ; he is Chairman of our sister Institution, the Girls' High School; he is an ex-chairman and still governor of Hulme Grammar School; he is president of the Whitworth Institute, and chairman of Hulme Hall. This repre- sents only a small part of his civic work. Wherever there is a cause which makes for the uplift of the common life, Sir Edward gives it his active support. " The wisest head in Manchester," said a friend to me. " And the biggest heart," was my answer. The Grammar School joins with all Sir Edward's friends in the tribute which is paid to him on achieving his 80th birthday. " That man is richest," says John Ruskin, " who has by means of his attainments and possessions the widest and most helpful influence over the lives of his fellows." TREKKEBS IN BRITTANY. 117 Trekkers in Brittany.

The chain of continental treks so cruelly snapped some years ago was caught up again, and caught up splendidly, by the Brittany trekkers. The spiritual values of a trek consist of such lovely but impalpable things that I will immediately deliver myself of the mere vulgar figures. Our party of twenty-six, under the quite unsurpassable leadership of Messrs. Green, Heathcote and Lob, arrived at St. Malo (Leach a little lighter than he had left Southampton) on August 5th. Thence by ferry along to Dinard, and thereafter we pursued the line of Breton promontories to- the sound of Atlantic surges along Finisterre, our furthest west being the St. Pol-de-Leon peninsula. On foot we covered nearly two hundred miles in three weeks (though Beal, our stalwart medi- cine man, has more precise figures on view). We had every variety of camping-site—from woody and watery wastes to a sort of penny-a-time spectacle at Guingamp. Three sites we remember vividly—our camp against the estuary which washes the ancient and gabled city of Treguier (where, whilst Scragg danced in architectural rapture, MacMahon and Biggs had patisserie competitions—Biggs a winner by two eclairs at the third eat); our camp at the mairie of Plouisy—which was less officious than it sounds, for we were the guests of a delightful old Breton farmer and his wife, whoi gave us milk and tartines and cider in the warm g-looms of their kitchen, and, on Mr. Green's earnest recommendation, added to- their own dietary the unknown vegetable called " celery." And did not Madame le maire present Bowden with an egg—but I will not recall that unhappy day toi Bowden, who, like the rest of the " threepenny brigade," Messrs. Biggs, Crook, and a certain " Johnnie," walked like Trojans, leaving poor Mr. Green and Mr. Golding scornfully in the rear. Then finally our camp outside Dinant, where we were in the shadow of a great beech-avenue where once the French aristocrats rode gaily to that chateau whose ruins still stand among the orchards and the haystacks. We walked, we sang, we bathed in rivers and among rocks whose magic outlines brought back to our minds how this was the country where much of the Arthurian legend grew. But we did more. We trekked. Which means that there was always ready service and fine spirits and laughter, even when the way was long and the stubble hard. Here was Mr. Green's last trek as a master at M.G.S. Wrhat shall be said of him and his resource and his stodges and his film-packs and his corrugated sole and all his kindliness? Prince of trekkers, we bow silent and grateful heads ! Could there have 118 BOOK NOTICES. been a more trusty guiding-star than Mr. Heathcote? It is hard to forget how he crossed the Morlaix stream by the trunk of an overhanging tree, with all the dignity of a doge. There was the inexhaustible Mr. Lob, of whom it is rumoured by the Baconians (who attribute to Bacon not only Shakespeare, but Spenser, Mar- lowe, Jonson, etc.) that he wrote not only Gilbert and Sullivan, but Mark Twain, Jerome, and W. W. Jacobs. It is a bagatelle to Mr. Lob, he proved, simultaneously to play blindfold chess, peel the potatoes, keep the bank and sing " Tit-willow." What could we lack with such henchmen as Kirsop (who does not dislike butter) and Mills (who attends to fires) and the erudite Coulouris, and the ever-ready Mitchell? If Brittany is richer by the pair of shoes Mr. Green confided to her care with due solemnity, we are richer by a host of happy memories, of ourselves, of sleepy market-places, of the long white road, and the sea.

Book Notices.

" Scouting and the Adolescent." 13v the late J. A. G. Dymond, Esq., B.A., M.Ed. This little book, recently published by the Manchester University Press, was written by Mr. Dymond as his thesis for the degree of Master of Educa- tion. It contains a Foreword by Professor Findlay, a Memoir of the author by Mr. Stafford, chapters on " the Scoutmaster," on Scouting in Elementary and Secondary Schools (with a special chapter on Scouting at Manchester Grammar School), and a postcript by Colonel Ulick de Burgh on Rover Scouts. Mr. Dymond took long views of Scouting. Ha saw tremendous possibilities in it, but he was not blind to the weaknesses which have hindered its develop- ment, and he pointed out how these weaknesses may be avoided by a proper training of the Scoutmaster. He realised, too, the difficulties of Scouting in Schools, particularly in secondary schools, and here his suggestions are stimulating and valuable. Much love and careful study have gone to the making of this little book ; through it all there rings the cheery note of optimism that we all associate with Mr. Dymond. It remains to say that it is largely due to our Commissioner, L. E. Mather, Esq., that it was possible for the book to appear in its present form ; and Mrs. Dymond added one more to the good turns she has done our School by preparing it for the Press.

" Political Thought in England from Locke to Bentham " (Home University Library), by Professor Harold J. Laski. This book is undoubtedly one which every student of history ought to read. It is a most thorough yet succinct account of the writers who influenced the great changes in ideas of government that developed between the Stuart period and Victorian times. It shows very wide study and close thought—so NATURAL HISTORY AND MUSEUM NOTES. 119 close that it is not easy reading ; which means that the effort of reading it will cause the reader's mind to retain much that it might have skimmed over fruitlessly. Yet it cannot be called heavy, not by those interested in the subject, and the chapter on Burke in particular has some most thought- provoking passages in view of present affairs in India and Ireland. We congratulate Mr. Laski on his brilliant and able handling of a very big subject.

O.M.A. Literary and Social Section.

The Session opened on Monday, October 4th, with a. Hot-pot and Social at. the Arcade Cafe. Eighteen were present, the Hon. General Secretary of the Association being the guest, and the evening was a great success both from a Hot-pot and a Social point of view, many present being moved to song. The second meeting, October 11th, was a joint debate with the School. After tea N. Wilson moved the resolution : " That the authority of Parlia- ment is being seriously undermined." Variations in the wording of the resolution, as quoted 01* misquoted by sundry speakers, added interest if not lucidity to the debate. Wilson stated his case feelingly; Jalland (O.M.), surrounded by a halo of professional dignity, opposed. Higham and McCabe, (O.M.) seconded the respective speakers, and Todd, Neave (O.M.), Mr. I.oh, Norris (O.M.) and Scragg also spoke. After the summing up, the motion was put to the meeting and carried by 14 votes to S. The following is a summary of the forthcoming meetings ;— Nov. 1.—Paper: " Nationality," S. T. McCabe.

Natural History and Museum Notes.

In the last issue of Ulula. wei acknowledged a handsome gift of birds' eggs from Mrs. and Miss Doeg, of . We have since received from these ladies fine mounted specimens of the wild cat and pine-marten, the weasel, ermine, harvest-mouse and dormouse; two cases of birds; crocodiles' eggs, and heads of mummified cats. We may add that the backgrounds of the bird-cases in the upper corridor were painted by the late Mr. Doeg. Mr. Hartt (O.M.), of the Manchester Central High (School, has sent us a large lizard and about thirty snakes from India, including the cobra, vipers, and a number of green whip-snakes. We have to thank Mr. Rivers for presenting two books to our Natural History Library, additions to which are always welcome. The hyrax and collared peccary sent from Belle Vue by Mr. Jennison are now in the cases. Several boys have brought us fine specimens of antlers this term ; we shall be glad to increase our collection of these. 120 CRICKET.

Among the boys who have brought gifts are Ogden, of P.l ; Larmuth and Black, of P.2; Leggett and Belshaw, of P.3 ; Thorpe, Sumner and Marsden, of P.4 ; Wade, Vallender, and Broomfield, of the Shell; Janeff, of 3c; Willis and Spiers, of ii.o ; and Lee, of iii./3. Cole, of 5c, has been taking more photographs of birds' nests. Thanks to Mr. Chew, of Whalley Range, who1 has taken much trouble in the matter, the School telescope is now equatorially mounted. Boys who have visited the nesting colony of black-headed gulls in Delamere Forest, and had learnt that the birds had deserted the nesting-site they had occupied for about thirty years, will be glad to hear that they are now return- ing, and that a number of young were hatched there this year, as well as at the new site.

Cricket.

REVIEW OF THE SEASON, 1920. We have undoubtedly had an extremely good season this year, and although we had to cancel four of the first matches on our fixture card owing to inclement weather, we jmade up for this by having a cricket week during the Whit-week holidays. This cricket week proved so successful and popular that we shall certainly have another next year. We had Mr. Tremlin again as coach, and he and Mr. Hartley were constantly at the nets. The second eleven was one of the best we have had for several years, and was ably cap- tained by F. Whittaker (M.T.a.). We were able to have a Masters' match this year, and although we again lost, there was just as much keenness and enthusiasm over it as ever. We must not forget to thank Messrs. Green, Heathcote, Lob and Felkin, who have looked after the junior teams, and coached them with such untiring CKICKET. 121 consistency. Nor must we forget T. J. Jeans (Sc.VI.), who has been a most efficient umpire to the first eleven throughout the year.

CHARACTERS OF THE TEAM. tCoRnisiiLEY, S. G.—A promising bat with a safe defence. Should cultivate the drive. Would have done better with more net practice. +CORNEY, L.—A fast left arm bowler. Did very well at the beginning of the season, until he had the misfortune to strain himself. + GELDART, T. H.—Has greatly improved as a batter, and has played several useful innings when runs were badly needed. Must be careful, when playing slow bowling, to time the ball accurately. HARTLEY, M.—A useful all-rounder. Has bowled splendidly and shown much keenness. Should do well next year. +JACQUES, L.—A brilliant long field. spoiled through a tendency to play across balls on the leg stump. Did well against Swinton Schools. **KEMP, C. E. (Vice-Captain).—Although he has not altogether found his usual form this season, he has shown great keenness and public spirit, and it is mainly due to his efforts that we have had such a successful season. + KIRSOP, A. P.—Has well all through the year, saving a large number of runs, and taking many difficult catches. 122 CRICKET.

•('RICHARDSON, W. A.—Has bowled well, especially in the Manchester match, but his batting has not come up to expectations. This is cer- tainly not through lack of practice. tRiCHARDSON, J. H.—-Perhaps our most promising bat. Has a strong defence and usually drives well. *TURNER, F.—Has batted very well, usually with freedom, and has scored a large number of1 our runs. Has also bowled scientifically, keeping a good and tantalising length. WHITEHEAD, J.—Has some merits as a slow bowler, but, unfortunately, has had little success this season. Rather a poor bat. H. W. JWINDSOR, H. (Captain).—The most capable captain and best player the School has produced for the past 14 years. His fastish medium bowling is always likely to obtain wickets, while as a batsman he has shown a remarkable combination of science and vigour. A cricketer of exceptional promise. S. B.

School won the toss and took the first, knock on a wicket which improved greatly towards the end of the game. Apart from a short stand made by Windsor and Kemp, and a useful 16 contributed by Mr. Chaney, the School batting fell far short of what was expected. Manchester then batted, and after slowy but surely hitting off the necessary 91 runs, they began to hit more freely and the score rose rapidly. At the close of the game it was 237 for seven wickets. Our thanks are due to Mr. Rothband at whose expense tea and refreshments were provided. Score :— CRICKET.

SCHOOL v. THE MASTERS. Played at the Cliff, Thursday, July 22nd. The Masters won the toss and decided to bat on a rain-sodden wicket. Soon after the commencement rain began to fall rather heavily, and the bowlers were handicapped in having to bowl for the greater part of the innings with a wet ball. Messrs. Heathcote and Griffiths opened for the Masters, and together they brought the score up to 42 before Mr. Heathcote was caught at the wicket. Most of the Masters contributed some runs, Mr. Green doing especially well in scoring 85. The innings ended with the iscore at 193. School then went in to bat, and after a rather shaky start, two wickets having fallen for 12 runs, Turner and Windsor made a stand and took the score up to 64 before Turner was bowled. The remainder, with the exception of Richardson (J. H.), did very little, and the School were all out for 132, the Masters winning once more. Score :— MASTERS. SCHOOL.

SCHOOL v. OLD MANCUNIANS. Played at the Cliff, Thursday, July 29th. School won the toss and chose to field, there being every possibility of the wicket improving considerably. In the opening stages of the game the Old Mancunians fared rather badly, losing three wickets for 10 runs, and but for an effort by J. B. Jones, their total would not have been anywhere near 69. In the School innings Turner did well and scored freely, making 26 out of a total of 104. School thus gained a victory by 35 runs. Score :— OLD MANCUNIANS. SCHOOL. N. H. P.

A PUBLIC SCHOOLS' TEAM. Played at Old Trafford, Friday, August 6th. The opposing side was com- posed of fellows from Rugby, Harrow, Malvern, etc., and most of them were much younger than the members of our eleven. School won the toss and although starting badly, scored 178 for eight wickets before tea, when we declared. Our opponents then batted, and although the opening batsmen played well, they were soon all out for 45. We wish to thank Mrs. Eckersley, who was mainly responsible for the game being arranged, and also Mr. Matthews, by whose kindness we were allowed to play at Old Trafford, and entertained there.

SCHOOL v. OLD MANCUNIANS. Played at the Cliff, Saturday, September 26th. The Old Mancunians fielded a rather strong side, and the School forwards, who had only had one practice, did not combine very well. In the first half, following some mid- field play, the Old Mancunians were rather fortunate in scoring, the ball being deflected into the corner of the net by another player, leaving Kirsop no chance at all. At half-time the score was 2—0 for the Old Mancunians. During the second half we had more of the game than previously, but although given several opportunities the forwards could do anything but score. At last Shimmin got our only goal, and towards the end of the game the Old Mancunians again scored. Final score : School, 1 ; Old Mancunians, 3. Team.—Kirsop; Windsor, McMahon; McNicol, Moss, Richardson; Morton, Turner, Shimmin, Bell, Johnson.

SCHOOL v. Y.M.C.A. Played at Alexandra Park, Saturday, October 2nd. Early in the game the Y.M.C.A. forwards were attacking strongly, and although they did not score, our defence was put under a severe pressure. At last, however, Brown, an Old Mancunian, who played centre forward for the Y.M.C.A., scored a fine goal, giving our opponents the lead. Very soon after Baker equalised, and Johnson gave us the lead with a clever run through. Score at half-time : 2—1 for School. In the second half rain came down heavily, and neither side could do much, but near the end of the game the Y.M.C.A. scored another goal, the last of the game. Final score : 2—2. H. WINDSOR.

Scouting.

King's Scout badges have been won during the year by the following :— Troop I. : P. L. Clare; Troop II. : P. L. Mackenzie; Troop III. : A. S. M. Johnson, P. L. Fuchs, P. L. Clarke, Sec. Hargreave; Troop IV.: P. L. Andrew. First-class badges have been won by 19 scouts. The total number of proficiency badges gained during the year is 234. In addition to this number there were 42 re-passes for Public service badges. We have to thank many masters and other gentlemen/ for acting as Instructors and Examiners. Our energies after last Christmas were centred on the Easter Jamboree, and we took a very active share in the Sports, Pageant and Exhibition. Mr. Garnett and Mr. Ogden helped us greatly with the Exhibit, and many old scouts turned out to help. Four of our scouts were invited to Olympia to give an exhibition of Stencilling and Glass work. Troops III. and V. took the second and fourth places respectively in the Competition for a Bell Tent to be awarded to the Manchester Troop which raised the most money, per member, by the sale of tickets for the Easter Jamboree. Camps were held at Whitsuntide at Keswick (Troops I. and V.), Dovedale (Troop II.), Llandulas (Troop III), Lake Side, Windermere (Troop IV.). There were two trek camps in the summer holidays in North Wales. 126 SWIMMING.

Prospects for this year's scouting are bright. Recruits are coming in well. Troops I., II., III. and V. have got their Army Huts (Club-rooms) erected. Troop IV. remain faithful to Starkey. This year we welcome as our chairman Mr. Chaney, who has a scouting experience dating back to 1908, and who has already helped us in camp and with the Jamboree.

Swimming.

This swimming season we have run three teams regularly for the first time, with the result that greater interest has been shown than ever before. The first team, which was well up to the standard of past seasons, has been busily engaged, and although not so successful as was hoped, has gained experience which it should find useful next season. We failed, although onlv by a narrow margin, to regain the Urwick Cup. The members of the team were very keen, but did not show great improvement on last season, and generally hovered about the thirty-two seconds mark for 50 yards, with the exception of Thompson, who averaged 30 seconds. The team consisted of :—Captain, L. Thompson (1); J. E. Waterfield (2), W. T. Ellis (2), S. J. Abensur (2), F. L. Peacock (3), L. Corney (3), j. E. Fielden (4). (1) : 1st team colours, 1918 ; (2) : 1st colours, 1919 ; (3): 1st colours 1920 ; (4) : 2nd colours, 1920. Thompson and Ellis are remaining next year, and we hope that, inspired by Thompson's unfailing enthusiasm, the team will succeed in regaining the Urwick Cup. Our second team won every match, save that against H.O.L.C. 2nd. It was ably captained by H. Waterfield, who promises to outdo his elder brother. Second team colours were awarded to H. Waterfield, Vernon, MacMahon, Kirsop, Baker. Our Under 15 was not very successful, but it has done good service in bringing forward some promising swimmers. In the School Bath Mr. Broom has been as successful as usual in his instruction. He has, moreover, taken the Diving Class and Ornamental Swimming Class, and we are very grateful to him for the help which he has always given so readily. The Life-Saving Class was not well supported, for there are many more chaps capable of passing the tests. Everyone should consider it a duty to possess a knowledge of rescue and resuscitation. We need only point to J. C. Taylor (Se.Tr.), who last year saved an Old Mancunian from drown- ing, and who owed his ability to the Life-Saving Class which he had attended the term before. This year 14 medallions and 9 certificates have been won. Mr. Saunders has gained his Instructor's Badge. Best of all, three bovs : J. C. Taylor (Sc.Tr.), S. J. Abensur (M.T.£), W. T. Ellis (Sc.V.) have gained the Award of Merit. The value of this success can be gauged from the fact that, apart from other feats, one has to swim 600 yards in one's clothes. We hope that next year Ellis will go on to be the first boy to gain the Diploma, the highest award of the Royal Life-Saving Society. The Roby Test has been passed by 22 boys this year. This small total must be attributed partly to the difficulty of the "test, but partly also to the apathy of the boys, Mr. Bally, as organiser of the School swimming, has once again made the wheels run smoothly and easily. The Swimming Sports were a model of organisation. PHILOSOPHICAL SOCIETY. 127

Harriers.

The first run of the season took place from the Cliff on September 18th. It was only about four miles in length, cutting across to Agecroft Bridge by the golf links, and from there following the course of the river to the next bridge and then returning on the opposite bank. The weather was very changeable, raining heavily one moment, and sun-shining brightly immediately afterwards. On October 2nd there was a run with the O.M. Harriers from Eccles Secondary School, Monton. The trail was laid by the O.M.'s, and went through Worsley for about 1\ miles, which is further than usual. Still, it was enjoyed by all present, most of whom were in the best of form. The number of boys who have attended so far has been comparatively small. A much larger turn-out is possible from a school of 1,200 boys, of whom at least 400 do not take part in any of the school games. Anybody may join the Club. There is no expense attached to it except in tram fares from town to the 'place where the run is from. We have centres in all the suburbs of Manchester, and the runs for the following few weeks are from the following places :— Oct. 9— ; Oct. 16—North ; Oct. 23—Sale ; Oct. 30—Oldham. Boys may either meet in town at the corner of and St. Mary's Gate, or go direct to the place. No run is ever cancelled because of the weather, for rainy weather often has the advantage of keeping the pack more united. This does not mean that running at a quick pace is insisted on, for everybody may take his own time. Intending members are asked to read the notice on the bridge every Friday, where full particulars are always given.

Philosophical Society.

September 22nd.—A meeting was held in the Chemistry Lecture Theatre, and the following officers were elected:—President, Mr. Barnes; Vice- President and Secretary, R. Greenhalgh ; Treasurer, C. E. Marshall; Librarian, H. Windsor; Reporter to Ulula, E. Parrish. Greenhalgh then 128 PHILOSOPHICAL SOCIETY.

took the chair, and Mr. Barnes proceeded to give a lecture on " Capillarity." He gave instances of the weird behaviour of filter paper and corks on the surface of water. He explained that the surface of liquids acts as if it were a skin, which is always trying to contract. Drops of liquid are large or small according to the surtace tension of the particular liquid. The lecturer obtained a large drop of water hanging on a top, and then poured the heavy ether vapour over it, and the drop fell, because the ether vapour dissolved in the water, and reduced its surface tension. The lecturer also explained the formation of " tears of wine " in decanters as follows : If the wine is shaken up when the stopper is absent, some gets on the inner surface of the vessel, and the alcohol evaporates, leaving water behind, whose surface tension is therefore increasing. Thus drops are formed, and these are the " tears." As a conclusion, the lecturer placed a piece of burning camphor on water, where it continually moved, like a soul in great distress. After passing a vote of thanks to Mr. Barnes, the meeting adjourned at 4-15 p.m.

September 29th.—Ordinary meeting in the Chemistry Lecture Theatre, Mr. Barnes in the chair. The minutes of the previous meeting were read and passed, and then Greenhalgh gave his paper on " Pasteur." Louis Pasteur was born at D61e in 1822, and at first had little taste for study ; but on realising the sacrifices made by his parents, he took more trouble, and in 1843 he went to study in Paris. His first researches were devoted to crystals, the determination of their angles and forms. Pasteur prepared crystals of tartaric and racemic acids, which only differed in their action to polarised light whilst in solution. He found, however, that racemic acid crystals were symmetrical, while the others were not. He further found that by crystallising racemic acid in different ways that two sets of crystals were obtained, and found that the absolutely new set turned polarised light in the opposite direc- tion to that effected by tartaric acid crystals, as he had concluded in theory. He did a great deal more work in chemistry and molecular physics, and in 1856 received the Rumford Medal from our Royal Society for his work on crystals. When the lecturer had finished Mr. Barnes gave a few extra details as to Pasteur's work, mentioning hydrophobia, and the way in which Pasteur saved the wine industry of France.

October 8th.—Ordinary meeting in the Chemistry Lecture Theatre, Mr. Barnes in the chair. The minutes of the previous meeting were read and passed. Parrish then started his paper on " Mendel^eff." Dmitri I. Mendeteeff was born at Tobolsk in 1834. He studied at the school at Tobolsk, and at the age of 16 entered the Pedagogical Institute at St. Petersburg. Here he wrote his first paper on "Isomorphism." In 1856 he was appointed to the University staff at St. Petersburg. He was now beginning his researches on specific volumes which lasted till 1870. He soon became Pro- fessor of Chemistry and wrote abundantly. He investigated questions of mineralogy, chemical geology, and organic chemistry. His chief work, however, was in physical chemistry and chemical philosophy. He conducted many experiments in the expansion of liquids, and found some simple for- mulae for the thermal expansion of liquids and their co-efficients of expansion. His most famous work was the Periodic Law, which connected the properties of elements with their atomic weights. He constructed a table with fixed places for the elements and in this way predicted three new elements for empty places, which have since been discovered. MendeWeff also developed the petroleum industry of Baku. In 1882 the Royal Society gave him the Davy Medal, and 1889 the Chemical Society awarded him the Faraday Medal.

E. P. OLD MANCUNIANS ASSOCIATION.

Dramatic Society.

A general meeting of the Society was held in Room 15 on the 30th of September, under the presidency of Mr. Gainett. The following officers of the Society were elected :—N. Wilson, hon. secretary ; R. J. Rohleder, hon. treasurer; J. H. Manson, G. l'rovest, L. B. Poulter, and F. D. McConnell members of the Committee. The play chosen for Christmas is Shakespeare's " As You Like It." Any boy who has any liking for acting and who wishes to take part in the play should speak either to Mr. Garnett, Mr. Collinge, or to any of the above officers, and join the Society at once. The Society extends a warm welcome to any young actors.

The Music Study Circle.

The first meeting of the year was held on October 1st in the Drawing Hall in the shape of a last hour Upper School lecture, and Mr. Eller gave us a most interesting lecture entitled " The Stories of some Famous Songs." In the course of the afternoon we discovered how little we really knew about our old songs, and we were much surprised to hear that " Home, sweet home " was written by an American in Paris and that it was introduced into England as a Sicilian air. The songs were sung by Miss Christian Orford and Mr. Lee Thistlethwaite, the boys joining in the choruses of the " Vicar of Bray," " D'ye ken John Peel," and others, and Mr. Cecil Bateson accompanied. It was a great boon not to have the meeting spoiled by the old school piano and to be able to think ithat we should not always be obliged to hire a piano on special occasions. In the dinner hour of October 5th W. O. Minay, our school organist, gave us the1 first of a series of Tuesday mid-day organ recitals, and his excellent playing was much appreciated by the members who were present. Coming to these recitals is certainly a very good way of spending the spare time from 12-50 to 1-10, and many recognised this fact, as was shown by the large attendance. We hope the next recital will meet with equal success. E. F.
