‘‘M^em Students More Industrious’


ITHE view that young people of the present day are inferior to those of past generations was challenged by Sir, John


^ / j ] : '


Stopford, Vice-Chancellor of Manchester University when he distributed prizes at the 400th sp e ec h day of Clitheroe Royal Grammar School on Wednesday^ “ It is dangerous to generalise, but as far as I can judge, the students of to-day


are more industrious than |thej/ were In my time,” he said! The reasons, he suggested,


were greater competition and higher standards. “ They may not be as independent as ^ were, but I think the modem student works harder" said Sir John, i


m o d e r n : student ' was. on the whole, more. re­ sponsible than his predecessor,


’ He also' felt that the


but he sometimes wondered whether their manners were quite as good. "However,' I won’t say ; any more about that. I only wonder,” added Sir John amid laughter.


| Addressing a large speech


day audience In the King Lane Hall, Sir John confessed to a difficulty experienced on such occasions |as to whom to address his r e m a r k s—the pupils, parents, masters jor governors.


KEY TO FUTURE I


t ll i r


"The fact that I usually


speak to the pupils ” he went on, “ is because I am interes­ ted in them. I believe 'In them. The future lies in their hands.


> 1 0:1 “ It Is for that reason that 1


regret reading about once a fortnight that young people are not what they were.


i o n ’ t f ® y


They oughtn’t to be. They never will be. It would be terribly dull and wrong if they were. In a changing world surely it is right that young people should change. I am not dis­ turbed that they are not the same.”


“ I agree. They are' not.

Rlbblesdale and Bowland. he was the son of the late Rev. Ackerley, a formjer Vicar of Mlttoh, and was bom at the Mittoh Vicarage In 1871.


Well - known | throughout

Educated at Rossall and


deacon in 1897, and priest the following year. | He served curacies at Keighley, Bccles and Washington. County Dur­ ham. i In 1901, jhe became chaplain at Llbau, Russia, working mainly among British merchant seamen.


1905, he became ithei Vicar of Grlndleton, where I he re­ mained for 20 years, i


On his return tp England In


Mlttdn, and fout years later he became Rectot of Carleton, near ' Sklpton. He jretumed again' to Mitton hnd! was the Vicar! there from 11936 to 1945^

CLITIffiiROE HAD WONDERFUL CA9UPAIGN ’’-^Misliion Leaper


“■TT has beenl a wonderful campaign,’’ said Captain


J. C. Clarke, as the three- week Church Ariny Mission In Clltheroe'drew to its close this week.


j Conducted from a mobile


headquarters In St. James’s Schoolyard, the! Mission had drawn large congregations to the evening services held nightly In St. James’s Church.


Before the campaign ended


on Wednesday, Captain Clarke spoke of the value of the mission being evidenced by the attention It had evoked .from those outside the Church.


“ I think perhaps the big­


gest problem we !are up against now,” he said, “ Is proved by the need for many of our Christians to surrender fully to Christ.


I “ I believe this campaign is


only a start of greater things to come,” added C a p t a i n Clarke, who expressed appre­ ciation of the hospitality shown to him by the people of Clitheroe.”


| Referring to! the whole­


hearted co-operation he had received from | the Rev, ' A. Lord, Rector of St. James’s, and lady worker! Miss D. Hodg- klnson, Captalri Clarke said that without such valuable assistance the Mission could not have gone on at all. Their


untiring efforts to ensure the smooth-running and success of the campaign had borne fruit.


Immediately following a


week of preparation the Mis­ sion!’opened with s p e c i a l services at St. James’s Church. During the three weeks of the campaign nlgh:;ly services wer$ held. The children of the I parish were catered for when special si;rvlces yere held each evening during the firstj week of the jmlssjon.


Attribute to the great work


done by Captaiii Clarke and Captain McDoi na ld, who assisted in the first part of the mission, was paid by the Rev. A. Lord, Rector of St. James’s, whoi said; “ I ai^preclate the worjr done In the parish dur­ ing ithe past thrqe weeks and


the I po-operatlon of Captain Claiike and Captain McDonald during th e . time they haye been here. '


“Their message was simple I


' I


and directed to the needs |of the people. Sin was stressed as a pndamental [iproblem, j a moral disease wlmin a man’s soulj. Christ was proclaimed |as the I on ly , 'a n d sufficient, answer to man’s heed. ^


“ [The campaign: has glvm - I I- i


us a taste of a] spiritual re­ vival, which Is the need of my parish and the country.”

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR COUNCIL OFFICES Sir,—Like most generalities,


the statement by Councillor Dugdale -to OUtheroe Town Council, which you ' reported last week, was not entirely satis­ factory. When he S£^ that the Council’s errors in the past had been not in buying property but in failing to buy it, I take it that the long-lamented case of Bnmgerley was am o n g the failures. Most folk wifi agree with him there, but . l i e: then goes on to apply his remarks to the proposed purchase of- new Council offices.


: . How on earth the Council


can justify any need for further offices is a question on which, apparently the Council Itself, cannot agree. With i offices at the Castle, not to mention In a sizeable (hunk of Cfiiurdi-street and YorkHStieet, it seems to me it’s gating t im e 'th e Council began to sell a few off and relieve the rates Instead of buying more.


We also know of the Council’s


errors in regard to Brungerley, and there have doubtless been others too. In trying to buy some more offices it looks as though the Council is nok act­ ing under the belief that |a few more wrongs wifi ; eventually make a right:

HOSPITAL CHARGES *1 Sir,—In reply to " Contribu­

admitted to the wards of the hospital." Par from being a pitiless


calculating machine, in this instance, the State hM, I under­ stand, even had the gm e to allow those in receipt'of the Old


Age, Pension, a generous propor­ tion as pocket money.


I do agree with “ Contributor ”


that greater publicity should be given 'to .this and othei] admir­ able aspects of our present Health Service.

I I It is time' the supporters of


German re-armament ceased trying .to make us beUeve that


the acute division hf the country on this Tatal matter is. merely a matter of Bevariism; or any other “ ism,” when it is quite clear .that the people are think­ ing profoundly and ! that the division arises from a fear, based on previous experience, that the rcrarmament of Germany under any circumstances would lead willy-nilly to resurgence of the old German militarism.

But if the spectacular; scoring


rate was the outstanding feature of this mud-bound duel, it had other points no less disturbing from Clitheroe’s point of view.

Droylsden added four more to their first-half tally.


i THIRD DEFEAT; It was Cfiitheroe's thuri'suc­


cessive defeat, and there will clearly have to he a tightening' Clil of defensive methods if the club is to maintain even a semblance of a promotion challenge. Too often, the full backs Oldham and Drake, allowed themselves to be drawn out of position ht fast- moving Droylsden wihgets, and with- the conditions !fa'youring -the man- in possession; they found themselves with, hp time to recover once they ware beaten,
