Brentwood College Magazine Speech Day Speech Day this year fell on June 24th, the last Saturday of term. Many visitors enjoyed the cricket match between Mr. Ellis ' Old Boys ' team and the school 1st XI. After a short interval for lunch the Old Boys retired with 121 runs for 5 wickets, but were defeated by the school team when they drew stumps at 3. 1 5 with 1 53 for 8 wickets. Speeches were scheduled to start at 3.30 in the gymnasium. Some three hundred attended and loudly applauded the Headmaster ' s opening speech, in which he was able to give a very satisfactory report of the school ' s progress in both work and sport during the past year. Sir Ernest Petter, distinguished member of the Institute of Mechanical En- gineers, who had kindly consented to give away the prizes, spoke interestingly on the science of sociology. He pointed out that advances in this science had not kept pace with mechanical developments and inventions, with the result that despite the many available labour-saving devices, important sociological problems, such as unemployment, remained unsolved. Sir Ernest urged the boys to consider it to some extent their own responsibility to contribute toward the solution of these problems. Speeches concluded with a short talk from Dr. Scott-Moncrieff on behalf of the Board of Directors. Tea was served on the verandah, and fortunately, though the day was dull, the rain kept off so that guests were able to go down to the shor,e after tea to watch the rowing and sailing races. The following prizes were presented: PRIZE WINNERS Form Prizes: Grade VIII. — A. R. A. Porter. Grade IX. — J. M. Berry. Grade X. — J. W. Shields. Grade XI. — I. G. Gillespie. Grade XII. — P. K.

Brentwood College Magazine Brentwood College, June 24, 1939. The Editor, Brentwood College Magazine. Dear Sir: We wish to express our very grateful thanks to Mr. D. J. Angus and Mr. N. Whit tall, who very generously donated the money to build the greenhouse, which has already proved itself to be invaluable. Our thanks are also due to various parents and friends who have contributed money and plants for the gardens. We had the soil in the garden analyzed and it was found to be lacking in several very essential minerals; we have now obtained the correct fertilizer and have already noticed better results. It is proposed to alter some of the beds in front of the school, and with the tulip bulbs kindly donated by Mr. and Mrs. M . H. Ellis, we hope to have a good show next spring. We should like in conclusion to thank several of the boys who have given up some of their spare time in helping with watering, weeding and odd jobs. Yours faithfully, E. D. W. LEVIEN. VALETE W. D. C.
