  • The Darwen Dictum: Get out and Get Involved in the Community
    Published in PANPA Bulletin, 2002: The Darwen dictum: get out and get involved in the community By Rod Kirkpatrick, Director, Journalism Programs, University of Queensland In the shadow of the Australian press bicentenary next year will be the centenaries of such papers as the Border Morning Mail, established at Albury, New South Wales, on October 24, 1903, and the Bowen Independent, established in north Queensland on June 13, 1903. It says something about the significance of dynastic succession as an influence on newspaper survival that both newspapers still have the founding family involved. At Albury, the Mott family own the paper, founded by Hamilton and Decimus Mott, and direct its fortunes at a board level. At Bowen, Stephen Darwen, a grandson of the founder, is general manager. The North Queensland Newspaper Co Ltd, a News Ltd subsidiary, bought the Bowen Independent from the Darwen family 16 years ago. This article focuses on the Darwens. William Henry Darwen launched himself and his descendants into lifetimes of service in Queensland provincial journalism when he bought the 15-month-old Bowen Record on June 3, 1903, from the widow of its late proprietor, Michael Keane, and 10 days later established the Bowen Independent. Bowen had passed through a stormy three years of newspaper activity after 36 years of relatively smooth sailing. Frederick Thomas Rayner had persevered with the Port Denison Times down through the years, from its founding in 1864, even though he did go so far as to offer it for sale in 1883. He faced opposition from the Bowen Observer from 28 March 1888 until 29 March 1892 (with a publication break from 22 March to 1 October 1889).

  • First Placegetters in the Queensland Scholarship Examination 1873-1962
    Promising lives: First placegetters in the Queensland Scholarship examination 1873-1962 A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the School of History, Philosophy, Religion and Classics at the University of Queensland in December 2006. Marion Elizabeth Mackenzie BA, BSW, PGDip(Arts) Statement of originality I certify that this thesis is original and my own work, except where the work of others is quoted and acknowledged as such in the text. This material has not been submitted, either in whole or in part, for a degree at this or any other university. Abstract The Scholarship was an external examination held at the end of primary school when students were generally aged thirteen or fourteen. It dominated Queensland education for ninety years from 1873 until 1962. For much of that period, passing the examination was the only opportunity for most children to enter secondary education. It was at first a competitive examination for limited places in the early grammar schools, and later a qualifying examination for entrance to any secondary school. The principal focus of this thesis is the early promise displayed by 186 young Queenslanders who were ranked first in the state in the examination. It draws conclusions about the impact of education on individuals and society through longitudinal research, by examining the influence of family, school, community attitudes, world events and personal choices on the outcomes for those successful students. It investigates how early success was translated into their later lives, how they dealt with the opportunities and barriers they encountered, whether females and males had different outcomes, and in what ways they differed from their peers.

  • A Brief Account of the Life and Times of the Honourable Sir James William Blair, K.C.M.G
    80 (All Rights Reserved) A Brief Account of the Life and Times of The Honourable Sir James William Blair, K.C.M.G. Chief Justice of Queensland by J. C. H. GILL, M.B.E., B.A., LL.B., F.R. HIST. S.Q. Read at a General Meeting of The Royal Historical Society of Queensland on Thursday 28 July 1977. During the last two decades of the nineteenth century, the English-born immigrants who had dominated public life in the first 20 years of Queensland's existence as a separate colony began to give way to the first generation of native-born sons. Not that native-born Queenslanders had the field exclusively; young men from the older colonies also came on to the Queensland scene. One of these was Pope Alexander Cooper, born in New South Wales at Lake George on 12 May 1846(1). Parliamentarian then Judge, later knighted, he was the first Australian-born Chief Justice of Queensland. But we digress. One characteristic all these men had in com­ mon was their comparative youth when they first achieved pro­ minence in public life. Pope Cooper was Attorney General in his early thirties and a judge before the age of 40. James Howard Gill became Crown Solicitor at the age of twenty-seven(2). Thomas Joseph Byrnes was Solicitor General before he was 30, then Attorney General followed by a brief Premiership of five months before his death at the age of 37.0) The subject of this paper, James William Blair, followed the example of his distinguished predecessors in that he first achieved prominence at an early age.
