WEEK-END NATURE NOTES. The hazel tints, or hedge nuts as we taill


them locally, are plentiful this year We are reminded of the coming Autumn by the russet tinge on the fruits of the hawthorn dog rose and mountain ash ; the fruits of the guelder rose, geati and bird cherry are also putting on their autumnal colouring The marsh orchid (Orchis latifolia) and


the lesser water planiaiti (Alisma ranuucu loides) are flowering wilhiu walking distance of Clitheroe. They are, however, outside the district covered by the Stonyhurst Flora, being within three or four miles of Hellifield I have not previously seen either of these plants nearer than the sea coast. The Burdock, with its strongly hooked


flower heads, is now in flower; this plant is a very popular herb. Another favourite herb, and one which suffers much on account of its popularity, is the Centaury. There is no prettier shade of pink among flowers than that seen in the flowers of the cen taury. Though scarce in this district this plant is exceedingly plentiful ou some parts of the Lancashire coast. The hedgerows in many of our old lanes


are beautiful now with the pale blue flowers of the giant bell-flower, often incorrectly called the Canterbury bell. The moneywort, a. plant perhaps more


often seen in country gardens than on dyke sides, is now showing its yellow cup-shaped flowers. -^A plant less in evidence than the moneywort, is the pellitory of the wall, creeping wall plant with inconspicuous flowers. The heather, or ling, is just beginning t j


flower, soon the purple glow of it will be over all the fells and moorlands. A handsome plant in damp places just


now is the gre.at hairy willow ; herb in similiar situations >ve have the marsh woundwort. The angelica, an umbellate plant noticeable on account of its large clusters of pinkish white flowers, is now plentiful by the waysides, its candied stem is used by confectioners for decorating their cakes, schoolboys put its hollow stem to another use by making it into pea-shooters. A lunch smaller plant by the waysides is the red bartsia, a partial parasite on the roots of other plants. Of grasses in flower I noticed the follow­


ing:—Hairy brome (a very gniceful weed- grass with large drooping panicle) false brome, marsh bent, coiiimon bent and bearded wheat grass. The weeks list also inclndes the spotted


persicaria. devils-bit scabious, easily dis­ tinguished by its entire leaves and four petals, knot grass (not :i, grass) dogwood and broad-leaved pondweeii. There will probably be no other week this


season in which there are so many specimens to record.

Commemoration Day at the


Clitheroe Grammar School. “ Commemoration Day ” took place at


the Ciitheroe Grammar school on Tuesday afternoon when there was a large attend­ ance of parents, relatives and friends c f the bovs to witness the prize distribution. The President this year was Mr. R. C.


Assheton who is chairman of the Govern­ ing body. Amongst others present were Dr. W. E. Musson, Councillor T. Garne'rt, Mr. W. King-Wilkinson, Mr. W. S. Weeks, Rev. I. Phillips, Mr. and Mrs. J. M. Ra.wcliffe (Whalley), Mr. G. J. Holme, Dr. and Mrs. Barker, Mr. and Mrs. T. Forrest, Mr. Baxter, Mr. and Mrs. J. S. Aspden, Mr. R. T. Bailey, Mrs. Horsfall, .Miss Horsfall, Miss Brown.


Tlie proceedings opened by the head­


master reading bis annual report which was as follows:


During the year that has ehipsed since


last prize giving the number of boys has in the school hits slightly increa.sed. L;ist July the number was 49; in the past three terms the numlters have been 48, 54, 53, respectively. The number of day boys (4-4) has not been exceeded since 1895. The standard work of the school has again been tested by the Cambridge Local Syn­ dicate. In the examination held at Clith­ eroe centre last December there were 28 cantlichites, including 21 from the school, this being our largest entry. Two boys passetl the senior, four passed the junior, :ui(l nine passed the preliminary—our highest number of passes. H. D. Har­ greaves was placed hi th- first division of the first chiss with a distinction in Arithmetic; G. I. Robinson gained second chiss, and G. 1’ . Lowe a third hi the preliminary. F. W. Musson was clistingiiishcd in Algebra and Geometrical Drawing, and R. Hargreaves in Geometrical Drawing. Besides the I.x)cal we have had two boys working for the English Civil, two for the College of Preceptors, "nd two for the Lancashire County Council senior exliibitions. 'I'hc result of the last named is not yet known. E. Forrest gained a second class in the College of Preceptors with a distinction in Algebra. 1 think the results of the C mbridge Local will speak for the work of me school. We schoolmasters are longing for the day when examinations tire more limited in number. I think most jieople will .agree that boys nowa.days do not from choice read much of the best Englisli literature; in these days when there is such an enormous output of what we may call debased literature everything possible ought to be done to instil into the boy the love of good reading. It was mainly with the object of encour aging the readers that we introduced novelty in our school examination this year. A p.aper was set requiring a general knowledge of English literature, topics of the day, well-known characters, and so on. The questions were of wide range and I must conf'ss we were not very hopeful. The result w.as an agreeable surprise. Many boys did well in the paper and two gained about 70 per cent. Of course in a paper of this sort one gets startling ati- swers ,at times. It would be rather inter­ esting if one could follow the tr.ain of thought of the boy who said the words


‘should auld acqu.aintance be forgot,’ formed a quot.ation from “Paradise Lost." Another boy gave a humorous .account of what happened on one occasion when Dr. W. G. Grace and Dr. Johnson were playing cricket togetlier. He then added, ‘ Dr.


Johnson itlayed for .8nssex and compiled a Dictionary.’ " Letters of .apology for non-attendance


were received from Mr. J. Mercer Whipp, 5fr. A. I.ongworth, Colonel Aspinall, and Cnimcillor J. .A.. Wade.


Mr. R. C. Assheton, prior to distribut­


ing the prizes, addressing the assembly expressed his pleasure .at being present. He was glad to have the opportunity of reminding one and all of the great bene­ fits that might he derived from education and the great opportunities now offered for young people to obtain that education. At the present time the subject of educa­ tion was hardly ever out of the minds of ]>eople who had the interest of the world at heart. Large sums were being sjxmt on etliication, not only by monev coming from endowments as in the case of this c'ChooI, hut in addition the Government tyere six:iuling large sums of money, and the County Councils and the Corporations were doing the same. The unfortunate r.iteiiaycr or t.oxpayer, although he groan- ed occasion:illy, did not grudge this money if It was judiciously spent. If they could only retain the stream of education which was flowing from these centres they would ;non be much nearer the milennium than now. The results which h:id been- obtain­ ed and the prizes before him were the re­ sult of successful teaching on the part of the masters and aptitude on the part of the hoys, and he must say that the Cli­ theroe Grammar School, at any rate, had done very successfully. There had’ been an increase of six boys since the previous year, and the examinations had been gen- erdliy successful which was very good to the masters and boys. He was glad also to learn that athletics, which were so cs.scnti:il to the well being and he.alth of tlie hoy.s were not being neglected. Al­ together there was no douuc good work was being done in the . school. What the future would bring to the school that of course he was unable to say. Most of them; present were aware th.at they were now working under a new scheme. Originally there were only 13 governors, now there were 18, including two l.a'dies, and var­ ious other ch.anges had been made. As one of the old governors he must say he was Sony to part with his old colleagues, but at the same time he must s.ay he was quite re.ady to welcome the new. The


new Governing body had not had time yet to determine what its future line of action would be, and he did not feel in­ clined to go into the complicated question of building a new school, but the govern­ ors still had this matter under their con­ sideration. As chairman of the Govern­ ing body .and a member of the County Council, he did hope a settlement would be arrived at, and that the governors and the Corporation of Clitheroe and the Lancashire County Coimcil would be able to fix on some method of work which would be beneficial not only to the town but the district generally. He saw no reason why the new scheme should not retain the old traditions of this school— a school found­ ed in 1554 by Royal Charter by King Phillip and Queen Mary—and of those who lived in this ancient borough and were justly proud of it. W’ liy they shmihl not take advantage of modern ideas and have in the town educational facilities for all classes second to none for those of any town in England of similar importance.— (Applause).

College of Preceptors; 2nd, class, E.


Forre.st (distinguished in algebra). Dr. VV. E. Miisson proposed a vote of


thanks to Mr. Assheton, and said Mr. Assheton had said something Fo them about a new scheme. They all hoped that matters might be .amicably arranged, but they, some of them, might have one ob­ jection as to tlie way education should he given. They believed that c-duc.ation should be given in the best sense of the word rather than the preparation for any •siiecial line of life. Education in its best sense should consist of three things: the forination of character, the training of the intellect, and due care of the bodily jiinvers. Without the bodilv powers the mind was of little use. He referred to the successes of the boys in the Cambridge l.oi-als as lieing more gratifying than an ordinary examination wliere an inspector was ofien .apt to tone down tlie rough sides, but there was no such thing in the Cambridge examinations. He had the honour of proposing Mr. .Assiieton's father as i-hairman of the old Governing liody, and tile other day had the honour of •. .o- Iiosing the son as chairman of the new (loverning body, and he believed he would prove .os admir.ablo a chairman ,a,s his father did in former years. Mr. W. King-Wilkinson seconding, -aid


he congratulated the Governing body on luiving such an admirable chairman. Jt was very eneoiiraging to see how siiece:s- lul the boys had been, and all were deep­ ly thankful to Mr. .\s.sheton for presenting tile prizes in the way he hail done. -Mr. Assheton, in thanking them for the


vote of thanks, said it had been a great pleasure to him to be present that after­ noon. He hoped he had not kept them too long as they were .all looking forward to the .sports. Mr. T'. Garnett ]>roposed a vote of


thanks to the headmaster, Mr. Hentlersen, and his assistants for their labours (luring the past twelve months. He was quite sure there was not a more ;irdiioiis or responsible position for those who tcxik it seriously, than teaching. It was a great and important office. 'They had to a great extent the formation of characto in the young, and on that depended the tone of the boy’s school life. Much as he dts- liked a “ sporting man" there was no better character than th.at of a true sportsman, one who in a fine point would give it in f.avoiir of his .adversary and always j’jtit the lx;st possible construction in any dif­ ference of opinion on the other .side. •Mr. W.’ S. Weeks seconding, said ary-


one who knew Mr. Hlenderson knew they had a good master not only from the point of view of the Governors, hut from the scholars’ , alnongs|t svhom he was very


))optilar. However able a master might lie unless he succeeded in obt.aining the confidence and affection of the scholars, his work would be hindered. He hoped


Mr. Henderson would be spared im years, and that before long the altera^''


mentioned by the Governors would k! carried out, and that the sdiool start on a new lease of life. The sd, , had been a good school m its time bur was nearly done. Formerly it stood in it,'* Church yard and it was time they has'*' new school and put the present one'm church yard again—anil buried it


i'


conclusion he exhorted the boys never .shirk their lessons but to make flie best i what they had.—(Applause). Mr. Henderson brefly expressed than!


for himself and colleagues. THE SPORTS.
