welcome of a real for the cosy


THE large upper lodge adjacent to the by-pass at Barrow has been drained for several months now


to enable the removal of some of the silt that has accumulated since it was first constructed last century. An amazing variety of seedlings have sprung


up on the newly-exposed floor, many of them being species that we refer to as weeds. What is a weed? Most dictionaries say some­


astonishing, to say the least. If still enforced, I fear there would be very few pupils, or indeed, teachers or superinten­ dents, in attendance today. Strangely, to my mind,


Those same rules are


to leave the school “with­ out giving one month’s notice in writing;” they must not indulge in “undue familiarity with the scholars in jesting and talking upon trifling sub ject;” must not “go from one part of the school to another during school hours;” and “must be as attentive to the scholars as possible during the hours of teaching to pre­ vent them from reading or spelling too loud.” And — it may seem


jority of the teachers or committee.” And what about the


accused of gross immorali­ ty, the case shall be in­ vestigated at a teachers’ or committee meeting and, if the accused be con­ victed of the alleged crime, a punishment suit­ able to the offence shall be determined by a ma­


strange in this pel-missive age — “if any teacher be


scholars? They shall all have “free admission to the school except such as labour under any contagi­ ous disease or have been discharged from the school and cannot give a. satisfactory plea for their


readmission.” Then follow strict in­


thing to the effect that it is a plant growing where it is not wanted by man, but this is hardly a scientific definition. However, there are sound botanical reasons for considering certain species to be weeds; they are specialists in the colonisa­ tion of newly-exposed and disturbed ground. To this end they produce numerous seeds which are efficiently dispersed and which germi­


“weeds” will perish. However, a friend of mine was disturbed to find several specimens of impa- tiens glandulifera, commonly known as Himalayan balsam or policeman’s helmet. First brought to this country as a garden flower, this invasive alien is now well established, usually along river banks. Although only an annual it is capable of growing up to 6ft. tall, forming dense clumps in which no other plants can grow. Like its British relative known as “touch-me-not” it has expolosive fruits which fling the seeds for a considerable distance. I was rather puzzled as to the origin of these particular plants, but an investigation of the
