Bre n t w o o d Col 1 e g e M a g a z i n e The Chapel DURING the past year, the progress of the work on the Chapel has taken greater strides than ever before. At the beginning of the year the ex- terior of the building was almost finished. It had been entirely stuccoed during the Summer holidays, and the painting was all that was left to be done. This was practically finished by the end of the Christmas term, and then all work was transferred to the interior of the Chapel. Under the able direction of Mr. Haddon, who took Mr. Long ' s place as manual training instructor, the work on the interior progressed rapidly. Dur- ing the Lent term, the inside was all panelled, and was almost completely stained. Towards the end of that term, the carved altar and hangings, the gift of Mrs. B. T. Rogers, were placed in position. During the Sum- mer term, the staining was completed, the Masters ' stalls were put into place, and all the wooden flooring on the platforms was finished. The follow- ing is a list of notable additions to the Chapel, which have either been presented or purchased during the year : — the large stained glass East window, in memory of Edward Dis- ney Farmer ; the carved lectern, the gift of Mrs. D. J. Angus; the furnace; four of the Masters ' stalls, and a number of the boys ' stalls. The work on the rubber flooring has not yet be- gun, and the organ has not yet been presented. But, on the whole, Mr. Hope and the entire staff are very satisfied with the progress that has been made during the year. In the past year, two very beautiful and impressive services have taken place in the Chapel. On the second Sunday before the end of the Lent term, the Confirmation Service, which in former years had taken place in Victoria, was held in the Chapel. At this service, the boys were confirmed by the Rt. Rev. B. Doull, Bishop of the Kootenays, who afterwards gave the School a most helpful and inspiring sermon. During the two weeks prior to this service, the work on the Chapel made amazing strides. The altar was put in, the rafters and beams were stained, and every effort was made to finish the Chapel as nearly as possi- ble. The second service, which is especially notable, was held on the first Sunday of the Summer term, the distinguished speaker being Dr. Fletcher, the head- Page Sixteen

Sailing THE nsnal interest was shown this year towards sailing, and boats went out every day as usual. However, the decision of the Boat Club to buy a new shell did not leave any finances for sailing, and, therefore, another boat and a new sail were not obtained. One boat, The Gray Mouse, was sold, but the money received was used for buying new oars. The Blue Streak, it is true, was hired for two months, but the rent did not equal the money received for the Gray Mouse. The Black Cat, too, is in sad need of a new sail, and, altogether, the sailing members did not receive the improvements for which they looked. The Lane Cup race was not held, so that the boys have not had the pleasure of any races this season. The sailors are expecting a better time in every way next year. Page Fifteen

B r e ii t w o o d College Magazine master of Charterhouse School in England. Dr. Fletcher was one of the party of English headmasters who toured Canada, and he gave the School a most in- teresting and enlightening address. At both of the above services, there were a large number of visitors from outside the School, all of whom were delighted and impressed by the Chapel. The School, therefore, can feel justly proud that it has erected so beautiful a building, and, at the same time, should feel fortunate that it has an instructor as skilful and patient as Mr. Haddon. and a director as able as Mr Hope.
