7 THE OLD ORDER CHANGETH IN this article the Rev. Canon S. C. Brammall, B.A., an Old Boy and former Chaplain to the School, was invited to give some of the thoughts that passed th1'Ough his mind on the day of the final handing over of the Macquarie Street School Buildings.

As I write, I am watching the . the old school on 24 August, the words of remains of Franklin House School, on the Tennyson came insistently to me: 'The old corner of Davey and Antill Streets, being bull­ order changeth, yielding place to new, and dozed unceremoniously out of the way to God fulfils himself in many ways'. We realise make room for another service-station. Many that the School is more than stone, brick and prominent men passed through Franklin mortar. It is an organism composed of human House. How thankful we are that our old beings, and it is through them that God must building is to be preserved, and we hope that fulfil His plans. One felt also at that service the same may yet apply to the dignified that the School included the vast array of cloisters and Christ College block.

Of much later origin, the Memorial Library speaks in a very significant manner as one contemplates the long list of names on the honour rolls. On that August afternoon I saw again, so plainly, the familiar, dignified forms of masters of half a century ago as they passed along under the old elms to their various tasks, and thanked God for their influence on my life and on countless others. In our changed world of today, much of the dignity and old­ world courtesy of those days is missing, and we are the poorer for it. In spite of the imperfections of the old building in these days when one looks for modern facilities in education, Hutchins has been very fortunate in its growth on the one side for well over a century, something of which all other Tasmanian schools may be Tile Headmaster, on bellalf of tile Scllool, Ilands over tile key envious.
