of tlie fears which have been enterta.ined. Tile lirst meetiug was fur hoys under tho


age of 1-7. an invitation liaving been extended to the inhabitaius of all the si.\ villages which ilie hut propases lo cater for. There \ya» a surprisingly large attendance, c'vory village being well represented, and the spirit in which the proposals wore received, plainly proved litat tlieie is a necAv .for a non-pollLieui, non- sectarian in^til•lUo whore liealthy and whole­ some recreation can he obiaiiu'd, thus reliev­ ing the monotony of life in the villages. ‘iTio Bev. i - l .A i . Pierce, secretary of the


hoys' branch of tlie movement, gave a very lucid and interesting history ol the work which has been done in otiier centres, and lie made it iiuite clear that their object was to give buys a cleaner and bettor outlook on life. iTi^ mentioned that it was proposed t-o fonii a pliysical culture ela.ss with Air. \\addiugton, of Jilackburu, as instructor. J.U this connection, it is iiuerosting to note


tliai an invitation has boon ext-ouded to the recently formed Whalley troop of Boy Scouts


to attend tho class. Ollier forms of athletics are also to l>e en­


couraged and fostered, a loolhall leatii being


contemplated. At tlio close, every boy enrolletl himsell as


u momber. This was followed by a meeting lor men, ;uid


there was again a gratifying atiendaiice. Air. Parkinson had charge of the proc<vd-


every way regreiiable if the usefulness ol the Hut could not lie translated into direct con­ tact with the cominuiiity and life of Whalb-'y and district. Tliey leel a.ssured that a cuniinon centre of Chri.siiaii social activity in winch tho whole comnimiity can feel they liave a direct part aud share would in every way be helpful. The Asso(.-iation does not come in to weaken any church activity, but rather to btrongthoii such ellorts. I t is not coming to take something out of Whalley. but to put .something into the district that all tluxse at present labouring for tho good of tho people will feel .shall be of a unifying aud strengthen­ ing nature. I t cannot bo too clearly U!ub*r- siood that tlio A.ssociation. wliilst in no sense a. church, is a direct expre.ssion ol the church's activity in certain .'-peciiic din'ction.s. It is hoped chat the centre will become a helpful educational centre, and during the summer montli.s. a very attractive Holiday Home. Tlie intorc.st and practical service of every man and woman of goodwill will be welcomed. The management of it.s internal affairs will be in tlio hands of a local c-omniittoe. co-opted in the first in.stnnco. hut. later, elected *m the ba.si.s of ineinbersliip. Bcprc.^eniatives ol all church life in tilt? district have hcH'n. asked to make suggcLStion.s for the i>or?onnel of such com- mittoe. and the. Y.A1.G.A. hop? that a brighten- ing and helpful inliucnce will radiate from the. lint throughout the district.

conscionco of tho nation is at length partially roused, linaucial reasons will for many long years retard any revolution iu tho conditions of school life, unless it can he shown that a way is open without expcnditiiro equal to that of tho arm.v and na\-j-. Ideally, of course, we agree that more money should bo spent iu saving and prolonging life than iu destroying it, but iiractically we cannot bring ourselves to it.


Sinco 1915, a society called the Uplands


Association has o.x.isted for tho purpose of ex­ amining the school life of tho children and endeavouring to find out a hotter way to pre- paro tho youth of the nation for their sub­ sequent career. Tho way was cleared for tho investigations by tho tardy realisation that education is preparation for life and not for making a living.

bull, removal coutraclor, 217, Rouudliay-road, Leeds, wtis driving a two-seater motor ear from Leeds to St. Aimes, with John F. Fielding, also of Ruitudhay-road, Leeds, as passenger. As they were jiroceeding along Longsight-roail James Hobkirk, farmer, Hollyhock, Langlio, driving a puny atiaehetl to a governess ear, ttiid aceomptmied hy his step-tlatighter. emergetl from a cross road. A violent collision occurred hotweca tho two vehicleti, both of which were badly damaged. Air. Fielding was thrown out of the motor ear, and Air. Turn- bull suH'ered from shock and his right Imiid was severely cut hy tho broken glti.s.s of the wind screen. The governess car was over­ turned. Air. Hobkirk and liis step-daughter woro throtni out, tho former sastainiiig bruised ribs which, ho said, woro still sore. 'Ihe ixmy had to Ixt killed oil the spot. Each party now .sought to recover damages.


Tiirnhtill, represented hy Air. Burgess (in­ structed iiy Alessrs. .1. Chapman and Co., Alaii- elicoter), contended that the pony and trail dashed into tho motor, and Hobkirk, for whom Air. Harold Darbysliiro appeared (instria ied b.y Air. It. Rennisoii, Biackhurn), stihinitted that tile motor cr.ashcd into his vehicle. Turnhull claimed C-50 damages, wiiieli incituletl £••20 12s. for repairs to the motor ear. and Hobkirk counter-claimed for £100. ineludiiig £.10 in rcsiioct of tlie pony and £20 for damage to harne.ss and trap. 'Iho jury returned a verdict for TIolikirk on iitui riiuuicr-claiui. awanliitg him


the elaim— £'50 damages.


A.-sociation focussed tho opinion that educa­ tion should be carried on in tho open air, in close touch with nature, and that a consider­ able part of thi.s open air life should bo de­ voted to handicraft. Looking liack through the articles and letters of tlio Uplands Circu­ lars, one finds, time after timo. tho conviction expressed that farm and garden provide eii- vironmout for tho jiractical education of chil­ dren up to at least 12 years of ago. Tho goneral principles on which this society


has worked are laid down in the resolutions * drawn up by tho Association at its lirst meet­ ing at Glastonbury in August. 19Ui, (1) All tyiies of schooling to bo pursued so far as


climatic conditions will permit in the open 11.1 r ?


. (2) 'Ihe .school .should he tho centre for ’ri»o Cplmrtl uliruttfl f/ir-


communal activity i ii which tho scholars realiso thoir domestic, industrial and civic dependence upon their follows; (3) Individual tlilfercnces in child nature and tlio study of stages of dovolopinent should bo recogni.sod in any rel’orm of school practice; (1) Balance should bo maiutained hotwccii intellectiuil. aosthctic and practical oxperionco in contrast to tho traditional curriculum of schools. . . Tho results of study and enquiry lire brought


to tho touchstone of discussion .and exporimeiit at tho Uplands Summer metting held at some convenient centre during the suinmor vacation, and attended by teachers and parents, with .a class of children. Very early in the meetings and discitssions. a great need Wiis felt for the (’.stahlishment of an ex'porimental seliool. where tho theories of tho members eould lie translated into practice. Of course schools had been cstalilislii'il in recent years wliieh in . a greater or less degree oxemplify principles j which tho Uplands -Associalion profess, but | ■somo inoans, it w;is felt, must ho foimd of identifying tlieir stiidio.s witli actual beneiit to a number of boys and girls brouglit to- gothor iu a reformed school.
