King Edward's School Chronicle January 1955 KING EDWARD'S SCHOOL CHRONICLE JANUARY 1955 Telephone MID 5209. 67a, NEW 8TREET, Telegrams BIRMINGHAM, 1. EDWARDIAN, BIRMINGHAM. O.E. MEMBERSHIP The Old Edwardians' Association exists primarily to maintain touch between the School and Old Boys and contacts between Old Boys of different periods. This purpose is served mainly through Honorary Membership, which carries with it the right to wear Old Edwardians' colours and to receive twice a year the Old Edward inns' Gazette, with news of the School and of Old Edwardians. The Association exists in the second place—a function whose importance has increased now the School is no longer in New Street— to provide a centre for Old Edwardians. The aim of the Association is that Old Boys living in Birmingham or passing through Birmingham may be able to meet friends in the Club Rooms—which provide all the amenities of the Ordinary Social Club. To attain this end there mutt be a large Membership, apart from Honorary Membership, a membership of Old Boys using the Club Rooms. To secure this, the cost of full membership is carefully graduated. The following is a list of the grades of Membership with the subscriptions : CLASSE8 OF MEMBERSHIP For Members residing within 25 miles of the Club Building ¿4 4 9 But until the expiration ot three years from the date of leaving School 10 and then for the next four years 3 Country Members 0 All University Members 10 Honorary Members not less than 10 NOTE.—These amounts are reduced by half to Members joining after 1st July in any year, except in the case of University Members and Honorary Members, whose subscriptions are payable in full at any time. N. J. F. CRAIG, R. J. GARRATT, Joint Hon. Sees. KING EDWARD'S SCHOOL CLUB HONORARY MEMBERSHIP OF THE SCHOOL CLUB (which includes a subscription to the SCHOOL CHRONICLE) is open to all Old Edwardians and to parents of boys in the School, and friends of the School, at a subscription of not less than ten shillings per annum. It affords to Old Boys a means of keeping in touch with the School and at the same time of giving support to the School Club. Subscriptions should be made payable to "' King Edward's School Club " and sent to the Hon. Treasurer at the School. CONTENTS EDITORIAL NOTES AND NEWS SCHOOL DlARY . SCHOOL NEWS . COMMON ROOM .

MITHRAISM AND CHRISTIANITY KWELLING THE WAVES ÏUng etitoarù'g â>ctjooI Coronide Vol. LXX Jamtary, 1955 No. 324 EDITORIAL In the halcyon days before the dawning of the mechanical era, time stood stili. England was a patchwork of green fields, heath and woodland, with scattered hamlets nestling beneath the paternal walls of the twin pillars of the community, the Church and the Manor House. Year in, year out, life continued its leisurely pace in an essentially rural country where disturbances were few and tastes were simple. " Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof" was the maxim of a society which lived not for the future, but wholeheartedly for the présent. Change, however, is inévitable, and as mechanization spread, the pace of living increased at a rate which today shows little sign of steadying. Man has been slowly mechanized by the machines he has invented, and work, formerly a labour of love, has now become a necessary evil. Time, rather than standing stili, seems to pass ali too quickly in an age which lives for the future. Because there is no time to stand and stare, the clock has become increasingly important and tends to dominate our lives. There are people today who feel that time not used for work is time wasted, and consequently that éducation is a waste of precious years and is something to be completed with celerity so that work, the means to an end in life, can be commenced. Education is believed to be an elementary knowledge of the Three R's, whereas these are only the trunk of the tree. The branches which spread out from the trunk, each with numerous unexplored offshoots, are the branches of éducation, and althoush no man can discover them ali, everyone should see at least a few. In an age when horror comics, cheap journals, television, and cinémas, are the criteria of life, it is essential that éducation should be wide and comprehensive, for " Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old, he will not départ from it." There is, at a time when even entertainment is provided for us, a lack of encouragement and opportunity to develop our minds and sensibility. A school can remedy this, but not without the co-operation of its individuai members. Effective co-operation cannot be achieved with one eye always on the clock. Education is not just a matter of learning facts, it is the full development of the mental powers and character by a process of instruction and practice. A compétent school provides instruction, and the facilities for its practice, the use of which are entirely the responsibility of the individuai. At King Edward's, there are extensive facilities for the practisine of the theory that has been taught, but clock-watching precludes thesc opportunities. Many of the branches of the tree of éducation are there to be explored, but the method of exploring is left to the individuai. To regard the School merely as a place of instruction which is left every dav as soon as possible, is to neglect the wonderful opportunities provided. Every one of us owes a debt which can never be completely repaid. but by taking an active interest in the School as a community we can at least give something in return for what we have received. 1 NOTES AND NEWS SCHOOL DIARY The Michaelmas Term began on Thursday, 16th September, and ended on December 2Ist, rather later than usuai. Half Term was taken from Friday, 29th October, to November 2nd, being extended as is customary to include the Founder's Day holiday. The General Committee of the School Club met on September 22nd to approve Officers and Committees proposed for the coming year ; the Student Christian Movement was unanimously affiliateci. Prize Giving was held on the ève of Founder's Day. Viscount Chandos, M.C. (formerly the Right Honourable Oliver Lyttelton), presented the prizes and addressed the School. We were honoured by the présence of the Lord Mayor of Birmingham, Alderman J. R. Balmer, who also spoke. Holy Communion was celebrated in the Chapel on Founder's Day, 12th October, and on three other occasions during the term. Some thirty boys are being prepared by the Chief Master and the Chaplain foi- Confirmation. A Confirmation by the Bishop of Aston has been arranged for March 17th, 1955. A Julian Horner Concert took place in Big School on October 27th. when the Lower School was entertained by the Lanchester Marionettes. The Bromsgrove match was played at Charford on the wintry afternoon of Saturday, 6th November. The large number of supporters who responded to the vigorous advertising campaign of the gentlemen of the Prefects' Room witnessed an exciting game in which mud proved a hindrance to players and spectators alike. In winning the game by thirteen points to nil the XV retained the Siveter-Smith Cup. The Annual Church Parade was held on Sunday, 14th November, at Edgbaston Old Church, the Chief Master preaching a most inspiring sermon. The Salute at the March Past of the three contingents of the C.C.F. was taken by Air Marshai Sir Charles Guest, K.B.E., C.B., O.E. The Parade was under the command of Under-Officer J. D. L. Adams. Field Day took place largely indoors on Friday, 19th November. The Carol Services were held on the successive evenings of December 16th and 17th, and as usuai were well attended. On the previous Wednes- day, the XV travelled to London to play Dulwich College in what was generally expected to prove the season's hardest match. At the time of writing, a deep gloom has settled over the Prefects' Room. Tickets for the Annual Ball which is to be held on January 3rd, 1955, have been printed, but not sold. SCHOOL NEWS We congratulate J. D. L. Adams upon his élection to the Dale Memorial Medal. We congratulate J. L. Wilkins upon his élection to the Knight Memorial Medal for the Army Section of the C.C.F., and J. W. North upon his élection to the Knight Memorial Medal for the Air Section. 2 We congratulate J. L. Wilkins upon his election to the Bache Memorial Cup and G. M. Simon on being elected to the Hammond Debating Trophy. During the summer holidays, J. D. L. Adams and J. L. Wilkins travelled on the W. H. Rhodes Educational Trust tour of Canada. We congratulate the XV on its extremely successful season to date. It is, so far, unbeaten and we wish it success in its future matches. The increasing number of members of the School who support the XV is encouraging, but the singular absence of cheering is to be deplored.

Our Vision for the Role We are looking and praying for an enthusiastic, energetic and passionate Pioneer Minister to devise and lead our drive to engage with the local community and particularly build relationships in the areas of the parish which we feel have been neglected over past years, bringing unchurched people to faith in Jesus. This is an important role as part of our Vision 2022. The parish is located within the central area of the Metropolitan Borough of Solihull, West Midlands towards the eastern edge of the Birmingham Diocese. The centre of Birmingham is about 8 miles to the northwest and Coventry is about 15 miles to the east. The area and population of the parish are large for the Diocese of Birmingham. The Parish is roughly 4 miles across and 4 miles long and has a population of about 28,500. The majority of working age people are in employment with a large proportion being professional people working in industry, commerce, institutions or government. There are, however, poorer parts of our parish to which we have discerned a particular call to serve as well and we envisage this area of ministry to be included in the Pioneer Minister’s remit.

It will play a key role in helping to shape the future direction of this great city. Birmingham is a diverse, dynamic and forward thinking city of over a million people. It is the regional capital of the Midlands and is strategically located at the heart of the United Kingdom. The city has seen constant and progressive change throughout its history, embracing new cultures and the challenges of shifting global economies and more recently climate change. Over recent years there has been a transformation of the city centre, including the rebuilding of the Bullring, development of concert/ conferencing and sporting facilities and the creation of attractive public squares and spaces all to the highest international standards. The city will continue to adapt to and embrace change, in order to enhance its position as a key economic and cultural centre regionally, nationally and internationally. Further expansion will see development of a state of the art ‘Library for Birmingham’ the new central library, the redevelopment of New Street railway station and expansion of Birmingham International Airport.

    Faith Leaders Call for 'Jubilee for Justice' Following the year of the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee, we recall the ancient custom of the Jubilee Year, in which debts would be cancelled. The Hebrew scriptures speak of a Jubilee Year in Despite these achievements, over the last thirty which unpayable debts should be cancelled. The years there has been a series of debt crises Gospel writer, Luke, records that Jesus began his culminating in the present one in Europe. A self- public ministry with a call to restore the just serving financial system has brought the global economy of Jubilee where all have enough. Jesus economy to its knees and we are now seeing the also tells those who have assets, to lend without poorest people in our own society and around the expecting a return. The Holy Qur’an condemns usury world paying the price for this excess. and requires zakah (almsgiving) as an essential duty to prevent wealth being accumulated only among That is why we ask people everywhere to join in the rich. calling for a renewed Jubilee.

  • Faith Leaders' Open Letter to the Prime Minister
    http://interfaithrefugeeinitiative.org/ We are leaders from Britain’s major faiths: Buddhist, Christian, Hindu, Jain, Jewish, Muslim, Sikh, Zoroastrian. All our faiths compel us to affirm the dignity of all human beings and to offer help to anyone in need. As people of faith, we call on your Government urgently to revise its policy towards refugees. The best of this country is represented by the generosity, kindness, solidarity and decency that Britain has at many times shown those fleeing persecution, even at times of far greater deprivation and difficulty than the present day. We rejoice in the mosaic of different faiths and British communities that we now represent. We are proud that in May 2016, in a survey by Amnesty International, 83% of Britons said they would welcome refugees into their neighbourhoods and households. In the face of the unfolding human catastrophe, there are immediate and viable steps that the Government can take to offer sanctuary to more refugees. We call on you to create safe, legal routes of travel, for example by adopting fair and humane family reunion policies for refugees. Under the present immigration rules, a British doctor of Syrian origin could not bring her parents from a refugee camp in Lebanon – even though they were refugees and she could support and house them. A Syrian child who arrived alone in the UK could not bring his parents from a refugee camp in Jordan – even if the child were recognised a refugee and even though his parents were themselves refugees. Families in these situations can currently be reunited only by resorting to desperately unsafe irregular journeys, sometimes ending in avoidable tragedies.

    SANDNATS BULLETIN DECEMBER 2003 PAGE 1 SANDATS BULLETIN DECEMBER 2003 PAGE 2 SANDNATS BULLETIN DECEMBER 2003 PAGE 3 SANDATS BULLETIN DECEMBER 2003 PAGE 4 EDITORIAL Again a winter seems to be passing with insignificant cold spells and a good deal of mild wet weather. Much could have altered by the time you read this, but arguments on the topic of global warming don’t seem likely to go away during 2004. The bulletin has mentioned plenty of ‘firsts’ during its lifetime and should prove a fertile field for anyone researching first bird arrivals, first plant flowerings etc. Amongst its firsts would also appear to be the harvest mouse survey. SANDNATS mammal group, with Janet Granger and Paul Essex in the forefront, have been putting long hours into this project and have been awarded a certificate of merit by the Wildlife Trust for Birmingham & the Black Country. Unfortunately they have as yet been unable to recapture any of the released mice and it seems that this could well pose a national problem for those engaged in this work. Possibly all perished or maybe the recording methodology needs reviewing. What has been the fate of the animals? Were some recorded as prey of local owls? Many such questions and difficulties lie ahead and the team is very keen to hear from any workers who might provide insight on these matters and join them as this season approaches. There is an exciting prospect for significant and original scientific research here. Issues surrounding the bulletin such as the desired number per year and the costs of printing and production will not go away.
