The House System, which Mr. Cox is endeavouring to institute, pro- mises to be a great success, providing that it receives the necessary support of the boys. This sytem provides in the school a rivalry in sports and studies, which increases the interest and tends to raise the standard of work. The Cadet Drills are being regularly carried out, and are receiving better support than ever before. The Scouts, under the direction of Mr. Loyns, are showing an enthusiasm in their work. Great progress in these two organisations is possible with the con- tinued support of their members. There is an immediate need for a School Reference Library, which is keenly felt by both the Staff and the Students. It is not necessary at first, to start this on a large scale, as a small supply of reference books on the major subjects, would be a great aid. With no access to the Standard works on these subjects, the student can obtain no more than the neces- sarily limited viewpoint given by one text book. Also a Reference Library, no matter how small, encourages individual efforts and interest in research, and provides the necessary foundation for future college work. The Saltus Boys are doing their utmost to establish The Grammarian as a permanent feature of the School, and ask for the support and interest of the parents and friends to make this new undertaking a success.

8 House Notes BUTTERFIELD House Master Mr. Thomas House Captain R. L. Ferguson House Prefect F. J. Barritt Motto: — Primus inter pares. We, of Butterfield House, shall try our best to live up to our motto. We started badly by losing a cricket match to Darrell House, but we man- aged to defeat Saltus House. We are fairly confident that we shall defeat Watlington House when we play them. It was our first game of the season, that Darrell House scored their surprisingly easy victory. We can ofifer no excuses for our bad playing but we lost like sportsmen, and we hope to have another match against them. Our second match showed that we had the material for a good team, and we shall try to develop it into such. Our Junior team has won every match it has played, and we are con- fident that they will continue to do so. We are well represented in all other sports, and our motto is well chosen. R. L. Ferguson, DARRELL HOUSE House Master Mr. R. J. Voisey House Captain R. L. Browne House Prefect F. W. Watlington Motto: — Nulli Secundus. Cricket. — Darrell House so far has won all the Senior matches, in which it has taken part, but the Junior games have been a total loss. The first senior match against Butterfield was an easy victory for us; the score being 26 to 112. The second game, which was against Watlington House, was a much better match. It was expected at the beginning of the day that Watlington House would be the lucky winners; but the day closed with another victory for us, Perry having been lucky enough to bowl out one of their best men for a very few runs. On Friday the 17th of June, we again expect to defeat Saltus House. As for the Junior match against Butterfield, we were defeated by a score of 38 to 26 runs. In the Annual School Sports, we failed to live up to our Motto, by coming 3rd in points. Darrell House is also well represented in the Cadet Corps, the Scouts, and several of its members are taking part in the School concert. We hope in the future to do as well in the football series, as we have done in the cricket. R. L. Browne.
