Here they meet the Head Archaeologist (Jeremy), pick up tools and get important instructions on how to use them. 3. Teamwork excavation Students work in teams to excavate their dig site, uncovering artefacts that they take back to the Artefact Processing Room for analysis. Students are encouraged to record their findings using the Minecraft camera and the Artefact Record Sheet. 4. Find all the artefacts Each site has a total of 16 artefacts to be uncovered. Once a team has uncovered 16 items (including broken items) they have cleared their site. Students who finish early can be directed to visit the Cesspit, or another uncleared site for further excavation. 5. Clues at the Gallery* When they have completed excavating their site, students visit the Gallery where they can learn more about their individual finds. A series of links to external resources provide further information and photographs of the original artefacts themselves. 6.

Will it build GOODWILL and BETTER FRIENDSHIPS? 4. Will it be BENEFICIAL to all concerned? The 4-Way Test was created by Rotarian Herbert Taylor in 1932 when he was asked to take charge of the Chicago-based Aluminium Company, which was facing bankruptcy. Taylor looked for a way to save the struggling company mired in depression-caused financial difficulties. He drew up a 24-word code of ethics for all employees to follow in their business and professional lives. The 4- Way Test became the guide for sales, production, advertising and all relations with dealers and customers. The survival of the company was credited to this simple philosophy.

ISSN 1832-2522. Copyright © Rick Clapton. This article has been peer reviewed. Rick Clapton is a second-year PhD student in the History Department of the University of Melbourne, where he is completing a research thesis on the criminalisation and policing of Melbourne’s traffic between 1900 and 1930. Originally from London, Ontario, Canada, he first became interested in drivers, driving and traffic during his time as Driver Rehabilitation Specialist (1999) at Parkwood Hospital, where he assisted people with disabilities to return to driving. During his undergraduate degree at the University of Western Ontario, Rick completed a thesis on the policing of London’s motor-traffic. Since moving to Melbourne he has discovered interesting comparisons between Australia’s adoption of the motor-car and that of North America. Abstract Introduction At the turn of the twentieth century some upper-class On Friday, 31 August 1901, Jack Proctor, the General Victorians became motorists; consequently, for the Manager of Dunlop Pneumatic Tyre Co.
