THE present number of our magazine is the first to appear

since the momentous loss occasioned to the school by theretirement of Mr. E. H. Butt from the headmastership. It was\\'i th profound and general regret that the news was recei ved

at the end of last term that \1r. Butt IVas bringing to a clusehis long and distinguished career of service to the School

extending over thirty-three years, of which more than fifteenwere spent in the office of headmaster. \1r. Butt joined thestaff of the school under the lJeadmastership of Mr. Gregg, and

his first efforts were directrd towards raising the standard ofmathematical teaching, which he successfully brought to the

high level at which it has been consistently maintained. HisClctivities and exertions for the school were, however, from the

iJrst, many sided, and mallY Old Lyonians will testify to thindelible impression which his stimulating lessons on a varie tyof subjects made upon their minds. H is intense love of th~

school, his zeal for the maintenance of its traditions and forthe defence of its interests enabled him to triumph over theformidable diFficulties by which it was beset when he tookcharge at a very critical reriod in its history, and the presenthigh reputation of the school is a striking testimony to thewisdom and deyotion which characterised his administration.lvIoreover, it was by no means only for the school as aninstitution that he laboured; his close personal interest inevery boy was and is repaid by the gratitude and affection ofgenerations of parents and Old Lyonians, while to hiscolleagues he was ah,-ays the most kindly, considerate andencouraging of chiefs. vVe know t1Mt he will continue towatch with sympatbetic interest the fortunes of the schoolduring the many happy years of well-rarned retirement whichwe wish for hi 111, and for our part each of us wi II say to hi 111 ;--

n!r. B. V. Black.THE sudden death at Brighton, on l\priI8th, of Me H. V.lIlack, came as a very painful shock to the school. Mr.J31ack had been a member of the staH for eleven years;his work was chiefly associated with the younger boysand with the school music, in which he took a keeninterest, and to which he rendered im'aluabJe service. Hebrought to bis work a; a teaclwr a "'ide culture and arich and varied experience. ;\11'. I\lilck was a versatileIllusician, ancl his familiar [Igurf' at Speech Day, when heinv<1riahly directecl the singing, "'ill be sadly missed byall the friends of the school. The funeral took place atSoutb Harrow, and was attended by iVlr. E. H. Rutt, lVIr.O. i\. Le Beau, IVlr. VI. \Vilson, Mr. E. L. Thomas, Mr.H. D. Thomas, and a large number of the boys. Onbehalf of the whole school we beg to express our deepand respectful sympathy \\"ith i\Irs. mack.

ON Monday, March 15th, we were favoured with a lecture on" English Gothic Arcbitecture," by Me Samuel Gardner. Thelecture was illllstrated throughout by lantern slides, and wehave rarely, if ever, seen a [mer collection of photographs. Forthe past forty years Me Gardner has made a special hobby ofvisiting ancient churches and buildings, and consequently thelecture proved most interesting, coming direct from such anexpert.

The first slides were photographs of exteriors. vVe wereshown great cathedrals such as Salisbury, \Vells, Exeter, andLincoln, and village churches like :\ortholt Church, with itstimber tower and spire, and windows with geometric tracery.Mr. Gardner then directed our attention to towers, the mostbeautiful being the tower and spire of Salisbury Cathedral;the height of tbis spire is 404 feet.

vVe were then shown a series of photographs of interiors,and the lecturer explained the three storeys which arc usuallypresent, namely, the main storey, the triforium, and theclerestory. .\ picture of \Valtham ,\bbey showed these threefeatures very clearly.

The last slides \\'ere devoted to doors, porches, columns,and windows, and tbus ended a lecture which had been mostinteresting in every detail. After tbe Headmaster had proposeda vote of thanks to the lecturer, a collection was taken in aidof the Harrow Cottage Hospital.

NORTH HOUSE.

o YE members of North House, let us congratulate ourselves.For the first time since the institution of the House Champion­sbip, we have finished at the top, having made certain of thisbefore the cricket started. In athletics we obtained the hugetotal of 499 points. We are pleased to note the great athleticimprovements of Clarke, Barker, and Embleton in tbe seniorevents. There were also mClI1\- promising North House juniors,and when we consider \VI' had a 40 pf'r Cf'nt. better entry thanany other House, it shows that North has the right spirit.

Our final position of second in football is also quitecreditable in view of the weakened team after Christmas.

C. C. Campbell is the only North House boy to receivehis cricket colours this term, although Clarke and I.: mbletollreceived their second pleven cohurs. vVe take the opportunityof congratulating tile latter on a fine Ro again!;t BronclesburyCollege 2nd Xl., and 63 against HarrOl\' County School 2nd X I.

The cricket di~;plays have been feeble in thp e:dreme, audnot worthy of North I-Iollse

In the capable hands of Corporal Collins, we hope to winthe Gurney Shield

We shall lose many stalwarts this term, but wc arc CockHouse for r926, and" sufflcient unto the day is the goollthereof." R. T. ED\\'ARDS.

SOUTH HOUSE

South House boys should certainly be much happier in theSummer than in vVinter, for football is not one of our strongestpoints. However, we managed to fl11ish third in the table,winning two matches, and thus gaining lOO points. In thesports South was not very \\'ell represented, and in thechampionship events they did not obtain any points. On::iports Day, however, we did surprisingly well, and came thirdin the table. We won the Junior House nelay quite easilyafter a good race. The Cricket XI. has done exceptionallywell. With very few of the school cricketers available, theteam was completed with younger boys. These distinguishedtbemselves on each occasion, and our victory uver East was agreat deal due to them.

Although the swimming wlll not count this year in thechampionship, South should do very welL Under the cir­cumstances Soutb can congratulatc itself on its performancesin the various events. \Ve are expecting the House IJla toollto win the shield again this year.

N. P. G.

EAST HOUSE.

East House did qui te well in the sports, Osborne and:'Ierrifield giving very creditable performances. \Ye also wonthe Senior 1<elay Race. In cricket ",e have won two matchesand lost one, the latter against South House.

Congratulations to l-\:itton and Porter on receiving 1stXI. colours, and to ~.rerrifield, Miller and Hichards, to whom2nd colours have deservedly been awarded.

R T. Kimber has been elevated to monitorial dignity.another well-deserved honour.

Jlnnual Sports.TliE '\.J1lnal School Sports were lIPid on the Harrow Schoo]Track on Saturday, \Iel\' 2()th. The number or pntries con­stituted a record, and thi" was very fncouraging to those \\'hornckavoured to ma1:e the meeting a success. The champior:­~hip e\'ents were decided a few da\'s bdorehand. The 100

yards and the +40 yards I\'ere WOIl by 1<. T. Edwards, the 2n(\

yards by B. Osborne, and the mil" by A. C. Clarke.

On Satmday Osborne distingui~hed himself by winningthe Senillr 100 and 200 yardsllandicaps, his running In bothraces being excellent. The 440 yards Senior handicap wasperhaps the fll1est race of the day. It \\'as obvious that Edwardshad been reserTing his energies for this race, and he ran the\\'hole distance with good judgement. The Senior high jump\\'as \\"on by Sorrell, who, howe\'rr, failed in an attempt tobeat the record.

Dear Sir,

It struck me forcibly on a recent peregrination to youradmirable scholastic (') institute, that the aforesaid institutppossesses many objects of interest for the ordinary student ofarchaeology, geology. etc.

f observed on my wandt'rings a building, which, Twastold, was the bicycle shed. This edifice; is an exawple ofO"enuine Norman architecture, although thew is a suggestionb . .of the (almost) Perpendicular about it. I found on InspectIOnthat it \"as built by an Italian of the 12th Century nampdBocca. The recent attempts of frivolous youths to convert itinto a place of internment should be stoppecl,

Your railings show a distinct leaning for the downwardpath, chieny through the subsidence of the tenacious, ductile(as many learned pedagogues and the caretaker will testify)earth in which it is embedded. The rUl110ur that It IS due' toa certain mighty youth of th~ Fourth resting on it is notofficially confirmed.

On the outside wall of the School I found a genuinepainting [Lithograph? Ed.] by j .. P. G - h - .k, ~esembling thebusiness end of an inverted toastIng forle. fhls IS probablythe only example of his work in existence.

J was extremely perturbed to observe the installation of anew chronometer. It may mean that, feelIng peeved, theclock in a room adjoining the landing will not give its usua IIO.39 a.m. recital as formerly.

The museum I found devoid of interest, but the case inthe Fifth Form room contained an interesting fossil, "'hich,I was informed, was a genuine coke. The introduction of abottle of Stephen's l3lue Black f conSidered a tflOe bIzarre.

There are also boys in certain forms who are also becom·ing antiques. The removal of a certain Third Form boy 11110

the Fourth would mean the brealong of a hoary oldtradition.

:\.nyway, my brief peregrination round your seminary wasextremely interesting, and 1 remain,

Yours faithfully,

PERA~IBCLATOR.

S\boOI "'sUs.THE CABLE SHIP "Ff\R.-\DAY."

0:-.: March 24th a party of boys from Forms IV. and V.,accompanied by Mr. Le Beau and Mr. vVilson, visited IVlessrs.Siemens' vVorks at \Vooh\"ich. Vve were first shown each step

in the production of electric cables, of which this firm has been

the chief manufacturer since r858. Guttapercha being an ex­

cellent insulator under the conditions prevailing in ocean

depths is an indispensable commodity to this industry. \Ve

then proceeded to a room the high temperature of which wasalmost unbearable; here the ra,," material was treated. Next

we watched the guttapercha bRing pulverised and convertedby rollers into thin sheets ready for use. The copper wires are

twisted together in pairs, adjacent pairs having differentcoloured coverings to enable the circuits to be identifled. Thewires are protected by cotton taping and layers of hemp or

r:anvas tOlpe impregnated with a hot bituminous compound,

and flOaUy enclosed by a sheathing of lead covered by tarredjute.

After seeing the testing of the cables, the manufacture ofvulcanite head phones amI other fittings and the many other

activities of the Company, we were conducted to the river­side, en route to the cable ship" Farallay," which for some

days had been swallowing cable by the hundred miles with a

zest that would make the most hardened early bird blush for

shame. Our voyage to midstream in small boats loaded to

the brim was the crowning glory of the excursion. Afterinspecting the ship's instruments, charts, fittings and accom.modal ion, we were shown her storage tanks" The c. Faraday"possesses [our of these, which carry four thousand five hundred

tons of cable. \Yhen stored the cable is flooded with water

as this pr('serves the insulation and. incidRntally, facilitatestesting for possible current leakage. During the actual oper­ation of cable laying, the cable passes over a dynamometer

which indicates the pull on the former. If a large hole is

encountered on the ocean floor the tension on tllP dynamometerincreases and either the cable has to be paid out more rapidly

or the "peed of the ship diminished.

To conclude a thoroughly enjoyable and most interestingand instructive visit we were entertained to tea on f)oard thevessel now homeward bound again from Panama, its taskace-olll pl islwc1.

ROCK\;VARE GLASS SYNDICATE, GREENFORD.

ON \iVednesday, March 17th, a party, accompanied by Mr.

Le Beau, paid a visit to the Glass Works, :1t Greenford. On

arrival we were split up into three groups and each set off with

a guide to inspect the factory. V.,ie were first shown the

making of casts for bottles and jars of all kinds in the casting

rooms where lathes were turning out fresh casts and designers

were embossing and engraving designs on the moulds. In the

manufacture of glass the ingredients, sand, soda and lime are

mixed in the correct proportions and taken to the furnace

mouth. Here we were shown the mixture to which broken

glass was added being raked over in the never cooling sea of

molten" metal." The articles are cast in the moulding shop.

The liquid glass automatically drops into the mould on a

revolving table and is forCf~d into shape by compressed air.

As the table revolves the filled mould opens and the assistant

in charge transfers the still red hot article to an annealing

oven where it is allowed to cool very slowly. Our last place

of inspection was the labelling and sorting department where

milk bottles are labelled with hard-wearing transfers. A brief

introduction to the methods of analysing glass concluded a

very pleasant and instructive tour.
