We were successful in the cricket, while the Old Boy.s won the tennis. In the evening the teams were entertained by the Old Boys at a dinner and concert, which they thoroughly enjoyed. The Newington College boys arrived here at 6.35 on (;o:,l Friday night. On Saturday morning they defeated our rifle team by 37, and in two matches on Saturday afternoon and Monday defeated the cricket team. J. 'l'aylor put up a fine performantce i,1 getting 104 and 139. Our Editor of last year, E. P. Holland, has been forced to resign his position on account of the approach of senior examination. One cannot eulogise his work in connection with the Magazine too highly, and his indefatigable efforts during his term of oftice may well be imitated by his successors.

A OUEENSLAND RHODES SChOL.AR.

Mr. Norman L.eslie, who won the Rhodes Scholarship from the Brisbane Grammar School in 1900, prtoceeded to 1tdhuol Cllege. Oxford. After completing his course, with honours in Literae Humaniores he a.'ce,'ted the position of Classical Master at Elst,. School near Hedford, England. The pupils of this school are chwtlh boarders and Mr. leslie was happy and successful in his work, anrl formed many friendships during his stay at Elston. A good appointment in the Egyptian Education Ikepartml, t having become vacant, Mr. Leslie was just on the eve of being alp- pointed to the position when it was discovered that he had nt reached the age of 25 years-the minimum required by the regula tions. (Queensland Rhodes Scholars, however, are not available ',r vacant appointments every day, so Mr. Leslie's friends were ",t surprised to hear that his services had been secured by the Asiatcl Petroleum Company, which in his case departed from their usl:,l custom of appointing Cambridge graduates. After a brief experien' in the Company's Head Office in London, Mr. Leslie was order,'l to Shanghai in China, to which he travelled by the Siberian Railwa,. A short stay at Shanghai was followed by a transfer to Wahu on tte Vangtse Kiang, and by a second removal to Hankow, atnd stil another to Northern China. Eventually, in January of this year, !e

was sent back to the Head Office in Shanghai, where he is second iln command. He finds his work interesting and his prospects good. So far, Mr. Leslie's career is highly creditable to so .younllg a man, and the practice of the Asiatic Petroleum Company, in appointing University men to fill important commercial posts is well worth the consideration of individuals and firms who measure a person's fitness for such positions by his proficiency in shorthand, typewriting, and envelope-addressing only. Even business men have leisure. How does our oli frienl occupy his ? Have his Literary Tastes and Linguistic Ability prompted him to attack the Chinese language? A;s he begun to explore the depths of the ('hinese classics? Is he already as familiar with the wisdom of ('onfucius and Mencius as with that of Plato anil Aristotle ? Who knows!

The final quarter for the year 1911 was entered upon, on November 3rd, when three good papers were read, vi., " Immigra- tion." by N. Young ; " Should the zeal of man, as regards exploring and the attempts at the discovery of lands be suffered to decline as it has done ? " bw H. W. Horn ; and " Shakespeare and his Plays," by L. G. Lukin. The debate on Friday, November 10th, was on " Free Education." This was very appropriate, as the Inspector-General of Schools, Mr. Roe, was present during the discussion. W. E. McKenna, spoke in favour of the motion, and he was opposed by A. S. West. J. L. Mursell spoke on both sides. Mr. Roe occupied the rest of the hour with a speech on the subject. He said that although he did not believe in an entirely free system of education, still he would like to see the number of scholarships to the Grammar Schools increase every year. November 17th.-A discussion on " Autocracy v. Democracy," took place on this Friday. E. Thelander and A. S. WVest supported " Autocracy." and J. L. Mursell upheld " Democracy." We were robbed of our pleasant hour on Friday, November 24th, by the military authorities ordering a three-hours' drill. The competition for the Declamation Prize, which was presented by Mr. K. ff. Swanwick, took place on December 1st. The judges were Mr. Bousfield, Mr. Dakin, and Mr. Stephenson. There were six competitors, viz., E. Holland, his subject being Abolition of War:" W. E. McKenna, who spoke on the Awakening of Islam ; " J. I. Mursell, speaking on " Compulsory Training " R. Philp, who took " Home Rule: " A. S. West, with ,, subject "Is war justifiable:" and N. Young, taking "The development of Queensland " as his subject. The winner was J. L. Mursell, who richly deserved the honour. A second prize presented by the Head Master, was awarded to .A S. West. Our first quarter of this year was opened on Friday, February I,;th, when we drew up a syllabus for the quarter. S4 Brisbane Grammar School Magazine. On February 23rd, the speaker of the society, Mr. Stephenson, read a splendid paper, entitled " Humbugs," some parts of which struck closely hometto the majority of the society. A debation, " Are Strikes Beneficial to Labour," took placet on Friday, March 1st. The " ayes" were J. Wagner, H. 1.. McComb,:E. H. Jones, and H. W. Horn: " noes," A. S. West. I.. G. Lukin, H. V. Byth, C. Trower, W. G. Hodges, and several others. The noes won by eleven to four. March 8th.-W\e held our annual swimming sports on that day. Impromptu speeches occupied our time on Friday, March 15th March 22nd being a half-day parade for some of the cadets. our numbers were somewhat diminished : but we had an interesting hour in giving election speeches, the chief characteristic of some. being the shortness. March 29th.-We again had impromptu speeches, which were not quite so good as on previous occasions. H. L. McComb chanced to pick No. 1,and his subject was' " Should members ,of Parliament pay their own fares when they go on pleasure trips ? " No. 2 was H. V. Byth, and h:s subject, " Need the militar\ training interfere with sport." " Should bachelors be taxed over and above the ordinar\ tax," was drawn by No. 3, A. F. Paton. J. Wagner came next with,(" Is discipline the chief object il compulsory training ? " No. ., L. G. Lukin had a subject which has been much talkedl about, viz.. " Is the Australian XI. at present going to England equal to previous teams ? " E. H. Jones had a rather hard subject, " W\\'ill Australia beloL- to Japan within the next ten years ? " Needless to say, no on, knows. A. S. West picked tlhe subject, ' Should home lessons hI. abolished." The personnel of the society has greatly changed this year there being only seven old members left, while eight new on.w- have joined, viz., C. Trower. A. F. Paton, J. Wagner, K. B. Fraser., Geaney, A. I. M. Fraser, Buckle and J. Meek. One of the dra\\ - backs is, that the members seem frightened to speak out, or t * speak for any length of time. Our remarks are disjointed, a1 are hard to follow: and we seem to be able to :peak on one si,' only. Still, with our patient speaker, we will gradually impro' and hope in the dim future, to be able to speak fluently and c(learb and without any sign of nervousness.

As the Honourable the Minister for Defence is desirous that the prospects of graduates of the Military College should he brought before the notice of boys attending the schools, we have extracted the following information from his circular :- Rank. Pay. Lieutenant . . .. 200 to £3(X per annum in yvear. Captain .. .. £325 to £400 per annum in 3 years. Major .. .. £425 to ^£;00 per annum in 3 years. Lieut.-Colonel .... £525'to £600 per annum. For the Administrative and Instructive Staffs, the rates arn about £.30 per annum higher than the above-mentioned rates. For the Staff Corps the rates for Majors run from (.' to (650; for Lieut.-Colonels £700 to £800; and for 'Colonels (I:n to £900. All these positions are open only to graduates of the Military College. Cadet loes.

E.P.H.) This year the military training is in full swing. There are again two companies, the new boys being drafted in straight away as there were no recruits. Mr Staehli now commands (. Company. 'Ihe lettering of our companies has been altered from D. and I-. to F. and G., owing to some alteration in the boundaries of <,il area. There is a large squad drilling for the forthcoming conl- petitions. These boys deserve credit for turning up for extrra drill and physical training. The musketry course has beetn commenced at the Enoggera range When the Newington cricket team was here recently, a match was shot off, as a considercablt number of the shooting team were in the cricket team.

.7he Jaor Cadefs. In accordance with the Defence Act, all boys between the ages of 12 and 14 are required to go through a specified course of physical training. This year there is a fine company of junior cadets 78 strong, who drill every morning before school. The whole company is divided into six squads, each under a squad- commander, who calls the roll, and is responsible for the discipline and smartness of his squad. In addition to the physical drill itself, thie boys play games and practise jumping and step-marching, so that not only are they physically fit, but, what is of equal importance, they acquire that cheerful outlook in life which bids defiance to all the cares and worries of a school boys' life. "A merry heart goes all the day, Your sad tires in a mile-a." Last quarter, many of the cadets attended swimming parades at the Booroodabin Baths, and now that colder weather is approach - iag it is to be hoped that they will show themselves just as enthusi astic in some other branch"of manly sport.

The places for the first team have been very keenly contested. Hoge and Horn challenged Holland and Graham, and were victorious in their first match. There is yet another match to be played. The second team ought to do fairly well in the B Grade fixtures this season. Twenty-two boys gave their names as competitors for the first, second, or third teams this season, as against fourteen last season.

The Life Saving Class, under Mr. Dakin. has been very successful this summer. The school has been well represented in all the examinations held by the Royal Humane Life Saving Society. Mr. Dakin's proficiency class went up for its examination on the Thursday before Easter: nearly all the boys passed. A few were told to practise what they had failed in, and come up again in about a fortnight. About a month previous to this an examination for the Bronse Medallion was held, and the seven candidates from the school-- P. Hopkins, \V. Simmonds. H. Hart, F. Scott, M. Hart, A. Gibson. and W. Gibson-all passed well. On the Saturday night after ,ur swimming sports the- Life Saving Society held their first examination in Queensland for the Silver Medallion. The two candidates from the school, C. F. Hughe and L. N. Collin passed. A few days before Easter, the Life Saving Society held their first annual carnival, and two teams from the school competed for the Heat Cup. Although neither of the teams won, nevertheless, the B. Team, under P. Hopkins, was only a few points behind the winning team. There are now a good number of boys at the school who have passed some of the life saving examinations, and proficiency badges are often seen. It is to be hoped that life saving will be taken up as well next season as it was this season. KOW Brisbane Grammar School Magazine. Stied noa.se iaes.

\'e assembled after the Christmas holidys with sadly depleted ranks, especially as regards the bigger boys, but there has been a good number of new arrivals, and we hope to nearly reach last year's record number of boarders before the end of the half-year. Ever since they have come back, some of the more energeti< of the boarders have been making good use of the boxing gloves. and they are now showing great improvement in the noble art. It is to be hoped that their enthusiasm does not cool down as the year advances, as has generally been the case. We must again express our cordial thanks to Mrs. Housfield for providing us with some more new records; the most popular of these is " Soap and Water:" but although they know the record off by heart, some of the smaller boys seem rather unwilling to carry out its suggestions in the practical way. The phonograph still survives the onslaughts of the careless, but, unfortunately, the same cannot be said of a number of the records. Nine of the boarders are regularly going down to rowing now, under the able coaching of Mr. Henry. If the day boys don't take it up more seriously, they will find themselves left behirid as regards a seat in the school crew. Some of the less fortunate boarders who were unable to g, home for the short Easter holidays, improvised a billiard tabhl. and although the material was not of the best, some capital amu.- ient was obtained. A tournament was held, but it was untinishltd at the and of the holidays, so Mrs. Bousield distributed the pri/c. to all the competitors. We all heartily congratulate R. Francis on passing t he Matriculation Exam. He has gone to St. Andrew's College, at the Sydney University.

In the evening the members of the two teams and the Old Boys' Association gathered in the school assembly hall, where a social evening was held. After the toast of " The King " had been honoured, Mr. Pring Rober's, the captain of the Old lyvs' team, proposed the health of the school team. He thanked the head- 82 Brisbane Grammar School Magazine. master, his wife, and members of the school for the hearty reception that had been accorded to them. The toast was responded to hv the captain of the school team. Mr. C. S. Graham then presenteil Mr. Roberts with a silver-mounted baton, made of ring gidyea wood, in recognition of the part he had taken as a special constable during the recent strike. Mr. Roberts said that he felt very much flattered at the gift. There were no more loyal men in Australia than the old Grammar school boys, when they were called upon to defend their country-(applause) -and to look after the pea' and comfort of the citizens as a whole. He praised those (rrammar School boys, both past and present, for the solid stand they had made for law and order. He repudiated the charge that had been made against the special constables of bludgeoning women and children. Mr. R. H. Roe proposed the toast of the school. He said that the grammar schools were at present passing through a critical time. The free high schools were being started, and the technical schools were being run with extremely low fees. In spite of all that they had the fullest confidence in the future of the lirisbant Grammar School, and he believed that it would be able to hold it. own, and flourish under its present able management, as it hail done in the past. It would always have his heartiest good wishes. and he was sure that it would have the support of its old boys. He was satisfied that the school would always be able to hold it' .own in all branches of sport, in all chivalrous work, and in all calls that the country might make, and he was certain they would all rally for the call of their old school if ever in the hour of difficulty it wanted their help. He, therefore, proposed the health of the old school, coupled with the name of its present respected ..tl beloved headmaster. Mr. Bousfield. The toast was drunk \\ith musical honours. Mr. Bousfeld, in responding, said tliat the enrolment last yvc, was the largest in the history of the sc .ool, with one excepti,;i. that of 1909. One thing that Mr. Roe had forgotten to mention was the proposal that the Government should take over the grammar schools and make them free high schools. If that was best in thi interests of the country, no one would more loyally submit t<: it than he would : but he would like to feel that, if any radical clhani was to be made in the constitution of the grammar school, that th, old boys who had been at the Grammar School, and many of whloi had sons at the school at the present time, had taken the matte' into consideration, and he would not like to see any radical chan, made that had not received the consent and the approval of th old boys. If anything happened to cut the present school away 'i any respect from the old boys, it would be the greatest person.il calamity to him. He hoped that they would not be taken unawri'- Brisbane Grammar School Magazine. 88 but would use what influence they had in the direction \vlni<*h they thought best. Other toasts honoured were : " The School lennis Team," " The Old Boys' Tennis Team," " G. S. Crouch," representa- tive of the Board of Control of Australian cricket in England, and " Old George." Songs were rendered by Messrs. F. Holland. ('. A Powell, J. G. Nowlan, A. L. Stewart, and Crosby. A very pleasant evening was brought to a conclusion, with the singing of Auld Lang Syne." A very pleasing feature in connection with the celeration was the rich harvest of new members reaped. Thirty live vyoung bloods added to our register at the close of the second month of the year is very conclusive proof that the ()ld As'ciion is still very much alive. Might we take this opportunity of reminding " absent-mnnded beggars," of the necessity of promptly replying to circulars in connection with these fixtures, as otherwise the difficulty of catering is materially increased ? The next event on our list will be the President's " At Home,"' the exact date of which will have been fixed at ('ouncil nmeetingl ere this issue reaches your hands.
